Magical Golden Flower

The golden boy of high society once stopped a plane for me. And I? I once ran away while pregnant, disappearing for three years. We got married. Nine years later, a younger, stunning woman appeared by his side. She was vibrant and fearless, joining him in all his wild adventures. Meanwhile, I had become a stay-at-home mom, spending my days making sure our daughter didn’t eat junk food. My husband said in disappointment, “Elaine, you’re not the woman you used to be.” Even our daughter complained. “Miss Snow is smart, gorgeous, and makes her own money. But you? You just rely on my dad.” The next morning, I grabbed my ID and filed for divorce. They must have forgotten that at twenty-two, I had the guts to jump off a cliff into the ocean just to break free, and at thirty-five, I would still have the strength to start over.

Aku meninggal pada hari ulang tahunku sendiri. Namun, orang tuaku dan suamiku sama sekali tidak menyadarinya. Mereka malah sedang sibuk menyiapkan pesta ulang tahun untuk adik kembarku dengan sepenuh hati. Ketika adikku dikelilingi semua orang untuk memilih gaun pesta, aku diikat erat dan dilempar ke dalam ruang bawah tanah. Dengan seluruh tenaga yang tersisa, aku menekuk jariku yang hampir patah, lalu dengan susah payah memasukkan empat angka: 9395. Itu adalah kode darurat sederhana yang dulu pernah kusepakati bersama suamiku, Willy. Itu adalah sebuah sinyal yang harus dia mengerti jika aku berada dalam bahaya. Tak pernah kuduga, pada akhirnya, kode itu benar-benar kupakai. Namun, Willy tidak percaya. Dia membalas dingin. [ Valerie, cuma karena aku nggak bawa kamu beli baju baru, kamu sampai berakting begini? Gaun tahun lalu masih bisa kamu pakai. Sampai jumpa nanti di pesta, jangan bikin ribut. ] Dia tidak tahu bahwa gaunku sudah lama digunting habis oleh adikku. Dia juga tidak tahu bahwa satu detik setelah dia menutup telepon, nyawaku sudah melayang. Jadi, pada malam pesta ulang tahun itu, aku memang tidak pernah muncul. Namun ketika semua orang melihat hadiah ulang tahun yang sudah kusiapkan terlebih dahulu untuk adikku ... mereka semua langsung kehilangan akal.

Saat seluruh keluarga merayakan ulang tahun adikku, aku dikunci di pabrik terbengkalai, dengan darah yang terus mengalir. Adikku menyewa empat preman, menyiksaku hingga nyaris mati. Dengan sisa tenaga, aku merangkak sedikit demi sedikit mengambil ponsel, lalu menelepon suamiku. "Laurent, aku terluka parah, cepatlah datang selamatkan aku ... di pabrik yang nggak jauh, nggak akan menyita banyak waktumu." Mendengar suaraku yang rendah hati dan lemah, suamiku mencibir, "Elena, menangis nggak mempan, sekarang mulai jual kasihan, ya?" "Kamu sampai tak segan melakukan apa pun demi merusak pesta ulang tahun adikmu. Cepat bawa hadiah dan pulang untuk minta maaf padanya. Kalau nggak, kali ini kamu nggak akan kuampuni!" Belum sempat aku berbicara, dari seberang telepon sudah terdengar suara adikku memanggilnya. Suamiku tidak tahu, pada detik telepon itu ditutup, aku sudah tidak membutuhkan pengampunannya lagi. Dia juga tidak tahu siapa mayat berbau busuk yang membuatnya, seorang ahli forensik senior, mengernyit dan menghindar. Itu adalah istrinya sendiri yang telah dia benci selama bertahun-tahun.

Saat suamiku mengancam akan menceraikanku untuk keseratus kalinya, demi memintaku berkorban demi adikku... Aku tidak menangis atau membuat keributan dan menandatangani surat cerai tanpa banyak bicara. Aku menyerahkan pria yang telah kucintai selama sepuluh tahun kepada adikku. Beberapa hari kemudian, adikku membuat pernyataan keterlaluan di sebuah pesta, dan menyinggung keluarga yang berpengaruh. Aku sekali lagi dengan sukarela memikul tanggung jawab itu, menanggung semua konsekuensinya demi adikku. Bahkan ketika mereka kemudian memintaku menjadi subjek uji coba obat untuk penelitian adikku, aku pun menerimanya tanpa ragu. Ayah dan ibu berkata, akhirnya aku menjadi anak yang penurut dan pengertian. Bahkan suamiku yang biasanya dingin pun berdiri di samping ranjang rumah sakit, dan untuk pertama kalinya setelah sekian lama, membelai pipiku dengan lembut dan berkata, "Jangan takut, eksperimennya tidak akan membahayakan nyawamu. Setelah kamu keluar, akan kubuatkan makanan enak untukmu." Tapi dia tidak tahu, mau eksperimennya berbahaya atau tidak, dia tidak akan pernah bisa menungguku lagi. Karena aku mengidap penyakit mematikan, dan sebentar lagi aku akan mati.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" He asked coldly without an expressio. She smiled faintly and said straightforwardly, "I agree to divorce." "However, I have a condition." Jenna licked her red lips, as if she had made up her mind, "I want 50 million compensation." "As long as you sleep with me for one night, I will agree." He gave her a cold gaze, with a scornful smile on his perfect lips. "Deal! Mr. Richards, no pay no goods. After tonight, we will have no relationship." ******************************************************** Jenna Murphy married Hansen Richards, who she loved from childhood but the one who hated her the most.

The night before the bond ceremony, the moonlight was like silver, sprinkling over the altar of the werewolf tribe. The Moon Goddess chose Jonah's white moonlight, Emma, and assigned her to William, the tyrannical alpha of the werewolf tribe.His blood flows with the power of the ancient wolf king, but also with untamed wildness. Rumor has it that every woman who spends the night with William will be covered in bruises the next day. William’s desire is intertwined with his wolf nature, and the silver bed is his unique symbol. Silver is poison and a test for werewolves. William would let those women lie on the cold silver bed, watching their pain of being eroded by silver and the joy of desire intertwined, making painful moans and confused gasps. This contradictory torture is the catalyst for his wild desire. Jonah knows William's cruelty well, and he can't bear Emma to be the next victim. So, under the protection of the moonlight, he kidnapped Emma one step ahead and completed the marking ceremony with her under the witness of the Moon Goddess. And I, the woman abandoned by Jonah. The vows I made turned to ashes under the moonlight, and my name became a laughingstock in the tribe. In the evening, the setting sun was like blood, and William's figure appeared in front of my tent. His golden pupils flickered in the twilight with the aggression of a beast. His voice was low and threatening: "Since Jonah has robbed my partner, you can be my Luna: how about it?" Luna, the partner of the alpha in the werewolf tribe, symbolizes power and glory, but also means endless bondage and danger. I raised my head, looked directly into his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of my mouth: "Okay."
