Mister Long

"Ma, tolong aku! Ayah mengunciku di dalam mobil." Aku menerima telepon dari putriku pada pukul 2 siang di musim panas saat matahari sangat terik. Aku panik ingin menyelamatkannya dan buru-buru menelepon suamiku. Tapi, begitu telepon diangkat, suaranya terdengar tidak sabar. "Anak Olivia sedang ngambek, aku mau menemaninya berkeliling taman hiburan. Jangan ganggu aku!" Mendengar suara panggilan diputus, hanya satu yang ada dalam benakku. Kalau terjadi apa-apa pada putriku, kalian harus membayarnya!

I'd never forget how cold the icy waters of the Sandford River were. In my previous life, I was Dalia Valentino, the future Donna of the Rossi family that they'd already acknowledged. But later on, I got betrayed by my fiance, Marco Rossi, and my cousin, Alice Palermo. They stole my betrothal contract away and took over my family's resources. In the end, they used me as a human shield and got me killed during a crossfire between our families. The moment I felt a bullet penetrating my chest, I saw Marco protecting Alice. As for my childhood friend, Riccardo Corleone, who had always watched me from behind, rushed over to me like a madman. He scooped my cooling corpse into his arms before letting out an anguished roar. That was why after I got reborn, I didn't hesitate to kick Marco to the curb and marry Riccardo, resulting in me becoming the Donna of the Corleone family. I thought Riccardo was my savior. Little did I know that fate was just playing a crueler prank on me. Both men had always been in love with the same woman this whole time. In this case, I decided to quit this game of romance and deceit.

Setiap malam, suamiku selalu memberiku vitamin yang tak kuketahui asalnya. Katanya, vitamin itu akan membuatku lebih sehat. Tapi, mengapa setiap selesai mengonsumsi vitamin itu, aku seolah kehilangan kesadaran? Belum lagi, tubuhku terasa linu, bahkan leherku dipenuhi oleh bekas merah. Semua hal terasa mencurigakan, apalagi saat tetangga sering mendengar suara erangan mertuaku saat aku tak sadar. Jadi, sebenarnya, vitamin apa yang diberikan suamiku?

My junior accidentally broke the most expensive piece of equipment in the lab and asked me to help fix it. I had just started touching the instrument when she suddenly stepped back, tears brimming, and said, "Michelle, I can't take responsibility for this. I really can't afford it." Before I could even process her words, Nicky Hardy—the unattainable crush I had chased for three years—rushed in and shielded her behind him. Then he turned to me with a glare that could freeze fire. "Michelle, don't go too far. You can't expect her to take the fall for you." I stared at him, dumbfounded. "You know full well I was shoved into this research group. I don't understand any of this stuff. How could I do the experiments on my own?" His eyes grew colder, dripping with disdain. "I've been saying it—what can a nepo baby actually accomplish? And now the equipment's ruined, and you still have the nerve to push the blame onto Elizabeth?" I opened my mouth to argue, but then I caught a flicker of triumph across Elizabeth Horwitz's face in Nicky's arms. That was when it clicked. They only knew I got in through connections—they had no idea I'd financed this very equipment myself. They wanted to play their petty power games over a piece of lab equipment worth over ten million? Interesting.
