Mentahan Background Merah

[Dark romance! R18!] “A MacKnight does not deserve anything good.” She responded. “And…” I pushed her, and she took in a deep breath and added, “A Macknight does not deserve mercy.” “And…” I pushed further, enjoying this rare moment of seeing Andromeda MacKnight breaking down in front of me. “MacKnigts are less than dogs.” Mmmmm! I’m impressed. “I would love to hear these words every morning when you wake me up” _________ Andromeda was willful but smart, intelligent, attractive, and had a powerful background to boot. Beneath those compliments lay a young girl who was just tired of everything. There was a controlling father, a jerk boyfriend she didn't dare to break up with, and a career she dared not flop. She bottled it all up until she couldn't hold it in anymore. Then she flipped. However, she chose the wrong person to pour her frustrations on. It destroyed his fragile paradise, taking so much more from him than she could ever imagine. Her carelessness brought her father's empire to its knees, and Andromeda MacKnight had to serve Luther Whitlock in every capacity he commanded. It was the only way to keep her family's heads on their necks. What would happen when Luther began to feel every pain he inflicted on her, wishing he could stop himself, but her face reminded him of every sleepless night he had had in the last five years? It seemed like love alone wasn’t enough to melt his stony heart.

Regret soon consumed Stefan after the divorce. He never expected that his boring ex-wife would move on overnight, and be living her best life. Not only did a young heir of an influential family claim to be her underling, but a famous celebrity confessed to being her fan as well. Even one of the wealthiest people in the country referred to her as their senior…‘I don’t care how strong your background is, Renee Everheart. I’ll make sure to tear down your walls!’ With that, the second son of the Hunt family set out to protect the woman in secret. Stefan: “My ex-wife is so fragile that she can’t even stand on her own two feet, you mustn’t take advantage of her.”To which everyone replied, “Who would dare to mess with her? She’d rip our heads off if we ever get into a minor disagreement!”Stefan: “My ex-wife is far too naive, you shouldn’t toy with her feelings.” And yet people would say, “I’m sorry? We’ve never seen a naive woman act so unapologetically!”Stefan: “Come, darling. Let me introduce you to this powerful figure!”To which the powerful figure responded with a deep bow, “No, no, she’s the boss around these parts! I hope you accept my sincerest admiration!”Since then, Stefan has had to live a double life. He was an almighty CEO during the day, but come night time, he’d be sobbing on his knees, hoping to win Renee’s heart back.

Alea Devina (20) tidak pernah menyangka malam paling hancur dalam hidupnya akan menjadi awal dari sesuatu yang lebih rumit dari sekadar penyesalan. Setelah dikhianati kekasihnya, Alea mencari pelarian dalam kebodohan sesaat—segelas minuman, tawa asing, dan pelukan seorang pria yang terasa hangat di antara kekosongan—one night stand. Namun, dunia Alea runtuh ketika ia sadar: pria itu adalah Darren Vahl (32) dosen baru di jurusan yang sama dengannya. Berusaha melupakan malam itu, Alea kembali fokus pada kuliahnya. Tapi ketika dua garis merah muncul di test pack yang tergenggam di tangannya, semua rasa takut yang ia tahan pecah. Di saat yang sama, Darren terkejut ketika tahu kebenaran yang tidak seharusnya terjadi antara dosen dan mahasiswi—hubungan terlarang yang bisa menghancurkan keduanya. Namun seiring waktu, Darren menemukan ketenangan yang tak ia temui di mana pun dalam diri Alea, sementara Alea menemukan sisi lembut Darren di balik sosok tegas dan tertutupnya. Mereka berdua terjebak dalam dilema: menjaga reputasi dan masa depan, atau mengikuti sesuatu yang tumbuh diam-diam di antara rasa bersalah dan cinta yang tak seharusnya ada. Tapi cinta yang lahir dari kesalahan tidak pernah berjalan mudah. Saat rahasia mulai terkuak, batas antara yang benar dan yang salah kabur perlahan—dan mereka harus memilih: bertahan dalam bayang-bayang dosa, atau berjuang untuk cinta yang semua orang anggap salah. Belum lagi pertentangan dari segala pihak yang menginginkan keduanya untuk berpisah karena memang dari awal tidak semestinya bersama.

Sejak awal, pernikahanku dan Ardi Wijaya memang dirahasiakan. Tiga tahun kami menikah secara diam-diam, aku bagaikan istri gelapnya saja. Di mata orang lain, dia itu dokter bedah terbaik di Mogowa. Dia dihormati dan disanjung banyak orang. Dia cuek dan sombong, juga tidak memedulikan orang lain. Sedangkan aku ini hanyalah seorang dokter magang anestesi biasa yang tidak berarti apa-apa baginya. Setiap malam, aku berdiri di balkon yang dingin sendirian menunggu dia pulang. Aku mengira kalau aku berusaha lebih keras dan belajar bersikap lebih lembut, suatu saat nanti dia akan tergugah melihatnya. Akan tetapi, kenyataan yang aku terima, bagaikan sebuah tamparan keras bagiku. Aku bertanya padanya dengan suara memeras sambil memohon dan menarik ujung bajunya, "Bisakah kamu tidak pergi mencari wanita itu lagi?" Dia tertawa ringan dan mencerca, "Ini hanya kawin kontrak saja. Apa kamu ketagihan berakting jadi Nyonya Wijaya?" ... Hari demi hari, aku menyaksikan bagaimana dia memperlakukan wanita itu dengan lembut. Aku tidak ingin bertengkar dengannya, juga tidak ingin mempermasalahkan apa pun yang dia lakukan. Aku meninggalkan selembar surat perceraian dan pergi. Hari itu, Kota Nowa diguyur hujan lebat. Di tengah hujan, Ardi sang dokter bedah yang tersohor itu berlutut. Dengan mata merah sembap, dia memohon untuk rujuk, "Istriku, kita tak usah bercerai, ya?" Bagiku, tetesan air matanya sudah tidak berarti sama sekali. Aku tersenyum tipis, "Jangan-jangan Dokter Ardi juga berwatak dramatis? Maaf, aku tak ada waktu buat menemanimu bermain sandiwara. Masa berlaku kontrak kita sudah habis. Kalau ingin mengejarku, silakan antre dulu."
