Novel & Cerita Once Unwanted, Now Adored

I feel every part of me ache as I try to move my body. I can feel the cold marble floor touching my bare skin, and... and a sticky liquid seemingly surrounding me. I tried to recall what happened last night. The supposed to be party. --Noona, can you believe we're sixteen already?! Hey, noona? Why do you seem distracted? -- The unusual feeling. --N-nothing, I just feel... weird... -- Our smiling faces... --Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday my sweet child, happy birthday to you... --

My mother is still regretting the fact that she didn't get to marry the man she loved and I am hoping the same mistake won't happen to me. I am only with Aidan because of our child, we don't love each other. I want to love my life, aside from being his unwanted bride. I am already tired of being tagged unwanted, everything about me screams unwanted. The maids in the house knows that I am their boss's unwanted wife and because no one outside our home and immediate family recognizes me as his bride. It feels right but sad. I want to experience love in a good soul and I want to be loved. Finding love is definitely not here in Aidan's home.

"I'm sorry if I intrude in your personal space but I didn't smell your scent on him when I hugged him and that could be really dangerous." "Your right," she answered, "But he isn't ready yet." She replied sadly and I frowned. I was happy on the inside and I didn't want her to know about it. She was so stupid to leave such a good looking man unmarked. "I really want him to mark me but I don't know how to do that." She replied sadly and even when I wanted him, I felt sorry for her. "I can give you tips to make him desire you and you can thank me later by…." I paused. I wanted to tell her to let me have him later. It was a good thing my tongue turned numb at this point.

The boys were gone. The scandal was fading into yesterday’s news. And somewhere deep inside the ache, there was a small, stubborn relief. She had been wanted. She had been adored. She had been consumed. And now she was free. Even if freedom tasted like ash.

"Everyone, it's confirmed! I stay in the same village as the female clown! I personally witnessed her mom marrying her to an old man who had been single forever!" I just tapped on "not interested in the post" option before putting down my phone. The past was the past for a reason. It was time for me to start a brand new chapter of my life.

Hugo choked on his words, staring at me in disbelief. He didn't understand why I was treating him like this, but this was exactly how he had treated me before. I thought he would get the message and back off. Yet, to my surprise, he didn't leave. In fact, he clung to me even more persistently than when he first chased after me. I let out a sigh. "As expected. What you can't have is what you want the most. Once you have it, you stop treasuring it, don't you?"

Any deviation, any hint of familiarity, and they would pay, dearly. I didn't care what they thought. Their opinions were as inconsequential as dust motes in the sun. They were used to my parade of temporary lovers, beautiful men and women who came and went, fleeting shadows in my lavish existence. But Tristan was different. He was not a fleeting shadow. He was a growing obsession, a delicious addiction. Besides, they wouldn’t dare speak of it. Their bodies would be swimming with the fishes long before the gossip could even reach the estate gates.

He keeps the nightmares away, but it would be unfair to him. Life is rough. I still don’t know who my heart belongs to. Liam makes butterflies swarm my belly, but so does Adrian, which is unfair - Adrian is such a villain these days. Like, oh-my-god, his personality change is so freaking drastic that it’s not even funny. He used to be such a sweetheart, and now he is sarcastic, ironic, and aggravatingly sexy. But so is Liam! He is friendly, and his muscles? Damn, the guy is ripped...

It made it easier for me to let everyone go. I scrolled through videos. Nothing really interested me. I was only fascinated by a particular couple, and I just went to their page. They'd just had a baby, and he turned out so cute. I loved babies. Their puke gave me the ick, but their eyes just spoke to me. There were many apps I used to be involved in. Now I had no interest whatsoever. I loved my life and I wanted to keep it.
