Man Vs Man

Five years after our son was born, I finally faced the truth: my wife didn't love me—or our boy. Determined to end this miserable marriage, I made plans to leave and take our son with me. But fate had other ideas. A car accident cost me a kidney and took our son's eye. At my lowest point, my usually distant wife fell to her knees right in the hospital corridor, begging for forgiveness. She swore she would spend the rest of her life taking care of us. We decided to give her one last chance—a 100-day trial. If she made it, we'd stay together. But on the ninety-ninth day, my son and I overheard her talking to the attending physician. "Emma," the doctor said, "did you really arrange that accident to secure organs for Daniel Carter's son? You did that to take a kidney from your husband and an eye from your son—was it worth it?" Emma Evans's voice was eerily calm. "It was worth it. As long as Daniel is happy, I'd do anything." "And what if your husband and son find out?" She fell silent for a moment, then instinctively touched the wedding ring on her hand. "Then they'll never know. They just want a family; I'll do everything I can to make up for it." So the "changed woman" we thought we knew was just an act—a carefully built lie. The happiness my son and I had begun to believe in was nothing more than a story she'd crafted to protect the person she really loved. Every kindness, every effort—it had all been quietly weighed and paid for in advance.

Jim Charleston is my foster brother. He and I have been dating in secret for 10 years. On the day we decide to go public, Jim receives an undercover mission assignment to Duskhaven, where he has slim chances of returning alive. The night before he left, he held me and promised, "If I come back alive, I will marry you in a grand wedding. I'll stay by your side forever." Foolishly, I broke ties with my family and waited for him. I became the laughingstock of the entire high society circle. Three years later, Jim returns but with a ruined reputation and enormous debts. Kneeling like a broken man before our father, he firmly declares, "I promised Anne I would take care of her for life, Dad!" The woman named Anne hid timidly behind Jim, clutching her pregnant belly tightly. Dad turns to me instinctively. Everyone is waiting for me to lose my mind and cause a scene. However, I just smile. Right then and there, I accept the engagement ring from the good-for-nothing playboy. On the day of my engagement party, Jim drives in recklessly. With a gun in his hand, he shouts, "Cecilia Forrest! If you dare go through with this marriage, I'll kill him!"

"Meskipun pernikahan ini terjadi tanpa rasa cinta. Tapi malam pertama kita gak boleh di tunda." Sinta melirik sekilas, lalu mendengkus. "Hh! Dasar cowok mesum!" gerutunya. "Emang kamu pikir aku mau!?" sentak Sinta. Rama menarik ujung bibirnya. Kemudian mencondongkan tubuhnya lebih dekat. "Mesum sama istri sendiri itu wajar," bisiknya tepat di depan wajah Sinta. Mata Sinta melebar, susah payah ia menahan degup jantungnya yang mulai menggila karena jarak mereka tidak lebih dari lima sentimeter.

"Si-siapa bilang!" elak Sinta, lalu mendorong dada Rama menjauh. Rama terkekeh geli melihat tingkah Sinta. "Lo berharap gue cium ya?" goda Rama lagi. "Gilak kamu!" maki Sinta. "Siapa juga yang mau sama bekas cewek lain!" sambungnya. "Oh, jadi lo cemburu." Sinta menghunus Rama dengan tatapannya. "Gak!" tegasnya. "Wajar kok, Sin. Tapi yang penting sekarang 'kan gue cuma punya lo." Lagi-lagi Rama mengerlingkan mata, mencondongkan tubuhnya lebih dekat pada Sinta. "Gue mau lo, Sin." Sinta meneguk ludahnya dengan susah payah. Hidung mereka kini saling menempel karena jarak yang begitu dekat. Sinta sendiri masih belum paham dengan situasi yang terjadi kini, tubuhnya membeku dan tidak bisa melawan saat Rama mulai meniti kancing bajunya. ***** Ketika kedua manusia yang memiliki banyak perbedaan sikap, sifat dan kelakuan harus terikat dalam sebuah ikatan bernama 'PERNIKAHAN' Mampukah keduanya saling melengkapi di setiap kekurangan dan mengubur kenangan cinta pertamanya masing-masing?

Before my parents died, they entrusted me to the most powerful vampire clan — the Vanderlooms. I married Jason, the heir, and spent ten years by his side — only to discover he'd gotten his vampire subordinate pregnant. He said I was just a human. That conceiving a vampire's child was nearly impossible for someone like me. That even if my parents died saving his life, it didn't mean I could hold on to the title of lady of the house forever. Vicky said she needed human blood for her pregnancy and demanded I serve as her blood thrall. Jason just watched with casual indifference. He didn't stop her. So I packed my bags and calmly handed him the divorce papers. He sneered. "That trick doesn't work anymore. You want to leave? Go ahead." "Give it a week. You'll come crawling back." But what he didn't know was that I'd already accepted another man's proposal. This time, I was done loving him for good.

I thought it was dumb to love someone you’ve never met, but look at me now. ‘I can’t wait for you to rip off my underwear.’ I texted and sent. Shivers ran down my spine while waiting for his response. Sexting through casual texts has become a thing I enjoy with him now. I bit my lips as I stared at our chat, anticipating. Just then, someone barged into my room. I put my phone down like I was doing something wrong. It was my mother. She has a worried look on her face. My father and stepmother walked in holding an envelope. I stared at them confused. “Pack your things and leave. You will get married on Thursday.” My father said cruelly. My brows creased and I tried to object but he held out the papers. “You don’t have a say in this Lorelei. I already sold you out.” What is he talking about? How can he arrange my own wedding? I knew I wasn’t my father’s favourite child, but this is next level hate. “Go and live with your husband. He bought you. And darling, there’s no turning back.” My stepmom added with a smile and threw the document on my bed. I picked it up and read the first page. ‘This contract seals the marriage between Ace Salvatore and Lorelei Stanley.’ Ace Salvatore? The man rumoured to be the devil himself.... My phone made a gentle ding and I looked at it. It was Leo. Tears cascaded my eyelids. How can I marry someone when I’m in love withsomeoneelse?
