Nine The Phantom

At a company party, Taylor Kennedy plays a game of mouth-to-mouth cookie biting with his female assistant as everyone watches. I blend into the crowd and laugh along. The room instantly falls silent. The assistant bursts into tears and plays the victim. Taylor lets go of her, turns to me, and coldly scolds me in front of the entire company. He berates me for not knowing how to read the room and being a buzzkill. Then, without hesitation, he wraps his arm around the assistant and kisses her deeply as I watch. If this were before, I would've stormed over in a rage and ripped them apart. Then, I would've humiliated her in front of everyone, not caring whose pride I trampled. But now, I feel nothing. Not even as I watch them kiss. Not even though today marks my ten-year anniversary with Taylor.

On our wedding night, my fiancé's best friend barged into our room for the third time, claiming a wedding prank. Having had enough, I warned Sam Whitman that if we didn't consummate our marriage that night, it was as good as over. He glanced at my half-unbuttoned dress and dismissed my words as a tantrum. Then Candace Lombard stormed in for the ninth time, ripped off the covers, and livestreamed our intimate moments. Sam merely pushed me aside and told me to be understanding. She climbed into our bed, smirking as she claimed the spot between us. "Wedding night prank? I get it," I grinned, leaning into her livestream camera. "Alright, everyone, fire up those donations! I'm about to let my husband take a mistress live. Let's make it a show!"

Di saat Emily berusaha melupakannya, Emily justru kembali bertemu dengan pria itu, bahkan ditawarkan untuk menjadi "wanita"nya! --- Benedict menyampirkan rambut Emily, lalu melabuhkan kecupannya di bibir gadis itu. Ciuman hangat itu dalam sekejap berubah menjadi panas, hingga membuat Emily meremang. Dia tak tahu, apa ini demam ataukah panas tubuh mereka berdua yang menyebabkannya. Emily tahu, dia harus memberikan sedikit makanan pada anjing pemburu agar mau berburu untuknya. Anggap saja ciuman ini adalah makanan itu.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself supposedly transmigrated to some ancient era. Every morning, before light touched the sky, someone would yank me out of bed to haul trash, chop wood, and do whatever filthiest job needed doing. Somehow, I'd become the lowest-ranked servant in the entire estate. The estate lord's son would climb onto my back and ride me around the courtyard like some pet he was proud to show off. Anyone in the household could hit me, kick me, or shove me aside, and not a single soul would speak up. Five years passed like that, so awful that I almost lost my mind, as if I were living in hell. Then one day, a group of servants cornered me. They didn't bother hiding their intention. The moment I saw their faces, I knew I was in trouble. Fists flew, boots landed, and everything blurred. Just before I passed out, I heard them whispering, "We're going to kill him if we keep this up." "Come on. This place only looks like some old noble estate. It's not an actual one. If he dies here, we're the ones who'll get dragged to court!" "Relax. Ms. Shaw will handle it. The idiot pissed off her childhood sweetheart. Getting tricked into this place is exactly what he deserves." Fear swallowed everything, and the world went dark. When I woke again, the lady of the house had conveniently "returned from visiting her family." The lord threw a grand celebration with tables full of food, wine flowing, and musicians playing like nothing had happened. I carried dishes into the banquet hall and lifted my head. Her face was the same as my wife's, Melissa Shaw. I set the final dish down, stepped closer, and in a voice only she could hear, asked, "Ma'am… are you enjoying your little game?"

Karena Eva selalu berharap kalau dia bisa menghindari hal ini, namun, kenyataan berkata lain. Bagaimanakah Eva menghadapi kehidupan yang tak seindah seperti kelihatannya? Eva memelototi bagian belakang kepala suaminya dengan kesal, "Percaya atau tidak, tapi tadi malam ada yang memberiku obat perangsang." "Oh ya? Menurutmu aku percaya?" Eva mendecih. "Terserah kau mau percaya atau tidak. Tapi sejujurnya aku katakan kalau aku lebih suka tidur di samping onggokan sampah daripada tidur denganmu." Suara Eva sarat dengan amarah. Betapa menjijikkan dan sombongnya pria itu karena telah membuat video tentang apa yang terjadi tadi malam lalu memutarnya kembali di hadapannya seperti ini. Suaminya hanya ingin mempermalukannya. "Apakah kau kesal karena tadi malam aku tidak melakukannya hingga lima kali denganmu, Eva? Uhm, atau mungkin kau hanya ingin hamil anakku sehingga statusmu sebagai istriku tidak perlu dipertanyakan lagi?" Eva menghela napas, sudah cukup dengan omong kosong ini. Dia tidak ingin dipermalukan lagi oleh suaminya. "Yang harus kau lakukan hanyalah menandatangani kertas ini, Aiden. Tanda tangani saja surat perceraian kita lalu ceraikan aku." Aiden memalingkan kepalanya. "Apa yang baru saja kau katakan? Sebuah perceraian, hm? Tidak semudah itu, Sayang. Siapa yang memberi ide di kepalamu kalau aku akan melepaskanmu?"
