Marriage First, Love Second

The day before the wedding, my fiancé James's childhood sweetheart had a severe depressive episode. Threatening to take her own life, she demanded the destruction of the wedding gown my grandmother had painstakingly made for me before her passing. To calm her down, James locked me in a room and stayed by her side, helping her cut the gown into shreds. Amid the mess, he spoke indifferently. "Be reasonable. It's just a wedding gown. Do you want to see her die?" Later, James's hot uncle approached me, asking me to carry on the family lineage. I nodded in agreement. But James, with reddened eyes, confronted me. "Are you really going to have his child? Have you completely given up on me?" Covering my slightly rounded belly, I replied, "Be reasonable. It's just a child. He’s your uncle. Do you want to see him with no heir to carry on the family name?”

He snorted when he realized he couldn't blame her for it. "You have no idea how much I hated this forced marriage kahit walang namagitan sa'tin kagabi." "Pero Benjamin—" Naiiyak man, abot hanggang langit naman ang pasasalamat ng dalaga sa pagpayag niyang maikasal sila. "Papakasalan kita dahil ikaw ang katuparan ng pangarap ko.

I knew there was no escaping it. My father’s sins would be my undoing. He was a wicked man, feared and hated by many, and now that he was dead, the weight of his crimes had fallen squarely on me. I didn’t even have the chance to grieve—or to breathe—before his Beta dragged me away from the south, from everything I’d ever known. I was supposed to be their Alpha. That was my birthright. But it didn’t matter. The pack had other plans for me, and being their leader wasn’t one of them. My father’s Beta delivered me to the northern Alphas, the very men who despised my father the most. And that’s when I learned the cruelest truth: they were my mates. But they didn’t want me. Warning: This is a reverse harem mild dark romance filled with intense emotions and themes that are not for the faint of heart. Read at your own risk.

Demi menghidupi keluarganya, Kiara rela menyibukkan dirinya untuk bekerja. Usianya sudah hampir menginjak kepala 3. Namun dia sama sekali belum berkeinginan untuk menikah. Gunjingan dari orang-orang sekitar sudah sering dia dengarkan. Tapi tidak ada yang dia pedulikan. Hingga, dia terjebak pada suatu kejadian yang membuat banyak orang salah paham terhadap dia. "errghhh .... Aduuhh, Pakkk," erangku dengan mata sedikit terpejam. Himpitan di kakiku membuat luka yang menganga semakin sakit. Aku menggigit bibir bawahku, jemari di tanganku mencengkeram kursi. Jika bukan karena sedang berada di kantor, tentu saat ini aku pasti sedang menangis. 'brakkkk' Aku pintu ruangan tiba-tiba terbuka. "Apa-apaan ini? Apa yang sebenarnya sedang kalian lakukan di kantor saya, HAH?" Setelah pintu ruangan terbuka, Pak Hans, selaku pemilik perusahaan masuk dengan muka yang merah padam. Merasa berada pada situasi yang tidak aman, badanku mendadak terasa dingin dan juga sedikit begetar. Apalagi, saat ini posisi muka anaknya menempel tepat di tengah-tengah kedua pahaku, sedangkan telapak tangan kanannya tidak sengaja berada di atas bukit kembarku. "Ma-Maaf, Pak. Semua tidaklah seperti apa yang Bapak pikirkan," jelasku dengan suara agak gemetar. "Tidak seperti yang saya bayangkan? Setelah saya melihat dengan mata kepala saya sendiri kalau kalian melakukan tindakan asusila di kantor saya, kalian masih bisa membela diri dan berkata bahwa kalian tidak melakukan apapun? Ck, kalian pikir mata saya buta!" "Pak ... Tapi kami tidak melakukan apapun." "DIAM, JANGAN ADA YANG BICARA LAGI SELAIN SAYA! Dan kalian ..." Pak Hans menunjuk mukaku dan Pak Bima secara bergantian, "harus segera mempertanggungjawabkan apa yang sudah kalian lakukan di ruangan ini!" Kiara tidak pernah membayangkan memiliki suami seperti Bima. Selain dikenal sebagai orang yang memiliki peranggai dingin, Bima juga termasuk salah satu atasan yang galak dan juga tegas. Jadi tidak pernah sekalipun dia bercanda apalagi menggoda Kiara di lingkungan kerjanya. Akankah pernikahan penuh paksaan tersebut akan berakhir dengan bahagia? Ataukah justru membuat Bima dan Kiara saling menyakiti?
