Lock Up

Di kehidupan sebelumnya, kakakku rela mengantar wanita simpanannya keluar kota hanya karena wanita itu bilang ingin melihat hujan meteor. Dia pun membawa seluruh pengawal di rumah dan mengemudi keluar kota demi menciptakan malam hujan meteor untuk wanita itu. Tak disangka, musuh lama yang pernah dihancurkan oleh kakakku malah memanfaatkan kesempatan itu untuk menyelinap ke rumah. Dia berusaha membantai seluruh keluarga sebagai pembalasan dendamnya. Ibu berjuang mati-matian untuk melindungiku. Dia terluka parah dan nyaris kehilangan nyawa. Aku terus-menerus menelepon kakakku, memohon agar dia segera pulang membawa bantuan. Akhirnya, dia pun terpaksa pulang bersama pengawal. Musuhnya berhasil ditangkap, tapi malah datang kabar buruk dari luar kota. Wanita simpanan itu meninggalkan sepucuk surat dan menghilang. Entah hidup atau mati, tak ada yang tahu. Dalam suratnya, dia menuduhku dengan kejam. Katanya aku sengaja memancing kakakku menjauh darinya, hingga dia disiksa oleh musuh dan memilih mengakhiri hidup. Kakakku hanya membakar surat itu tanpa ekspresi dan menyuruhku jangan memikirkannya. Setelah kejadian itu, kakak pun disalahkan. Ayah memutuskan menyerahkan kendali perusahaan padaku. Namun, di malam perayaan syukuran itu, aku dibunuh oleh kakakku di kamar tidurku sendiri. Wajahnya tanpa emosi dan berkata, “Orang sekejam kamu memang pantas mati.” “Yang seharusnya mati itu kamu! Aku yang seharusnya menjadi pewaris keluarga ini!” Aku mati tak tenang, tapi saat membuka mata kembali, suara pintu vila didobrak oleh para musuh pun terdengar dari luar.

"Can you move back please?" I whispered but the wall of muscles invading my personal space didn't budge. Why did he look so hot doing nothing and everything?

I can give you what you want, again" His deep voice sent waves of shivers down my spine.

After confirming I was pregnant, I suddenly heard my husband’s inner voice. “This idiot is still gloating over her pregnancy. She doesn’t even know we switched out her IVF embryo. She’s nothing more than a surrogate for Elle. If Elle weren’t worried about how childbirth might endanger her life, I would’ve kicked this worthless woman out already. Just looking at her makes me sick. “Once she delivers the baby, I’ll make sure she never gets up from the operating table. Then I’ll finally marry Elle, my one true love.” My entire body went rigid. I clenched the IVF test report in my hands and looked straight at my husband. He gazed back at me with gentle eyes. “I’ll take care of you and the baby for the next few months, honey.” However, right then, his inner voice struck again. “I’ll lock that woman in a cage like a dog. I’d like to see her escape!” Shock and heartbreak crashed over me all at once because the Elle he spoke of was none other than my sister.

His eyes returned to me—slow, assessing. Then, without warning, his hands shot up and clamped around my throat. I gasped, instinctively clawing at his arms. He didn’t move. “Disobey me again,” he said, voice low, stripped of warmth, “and we won’t be counting next time.” Even shaking, I lifted my chin. “Then don’t mistake silence for obedience,” I said hoarsely. Carlino’s voice followed—calm, absolute, as if nothing had happened. “Lock her floor tonight.” That was when it settled. There was no mercy here. No exaggeration. Every word, every threat—he meant them. He wasn’t pretending to be the devil. He simply didn’t bother hiding it. --- She hates him. He refuses to let himself want her.
