Orang Freak

After the great war between the three clans of Human, Dragon, and Wolf, the Dragon Clan and Wolf Clan were cursed. Pure-blooded descendants of both clans could not inherit full power. To pass down the power of their bloodline, Kings of each generation of Dragon Clan and Wolf Clan would need to be with a Human woman who possessed Blessings. Whoever gave birth to a child of mixed heritage first would have their clan rule the three clans for a hundred years. In my past life, I married the King of Silver Wolves, Silas Hector, who was known to be a gentleman. One year after my marriage, I gave birth to a child who was half Wolf. He inherited full power from his bloodline, and Silas became the ruler of the three clans. The Wolves ruled the world for a hundred years. My sister, Lucia, became enamored by the magnificent Silver Dragon. She married the King of Silver Dragons, but the Dragons were arrogant and unpredictable. In a moment of mad rage, her husband injured her womb and caused her to miscarry. Lucia became barren after that. Lucia went crazy with jealousy for me, and she stabbed me to death during a family reunion. When I opened my eyes next, I had returned to the eve of the wedding organized by the three clans. Lucia was quick to enter the room of Silver Wolf King, Silas, and sleep with him. She was reborn too. However, she had no idea that Silas was a cold-blooded wolf who enjoyed torturing weak Humans.

Di tahun ketujuh pernikahan kami, Jefry Marson tampak kembali jatuh cinta. Dia daftar di tempat gym dan sangat memperhatikan bentuk tubuhnya. Saat aku sedang mengikat dasinya, Jefry tiba-tiba ingin mengganti dasi berwarna kotak merah. Dia bilang, "Aku tiba-tiba mulai menyukai warna yang lebih cerah." Saat membalas pesanku, Jefry yang serius tembek mengirimiku emoji yang imut, lalu segera dihapus. Namun, dia tetap pulang tepat waktu, membawakanku bunga dan memasak untukku setiap hari. Aku mencela diri sendiri karena pikiran konyolku. Jefry sangat mencintaiku, mana mungkin dia selingkuh? Kebetulan suatu hari, aku menemukan kamera dashboard. Jefry dan muridnya sedang berpelukan dan saling bermesraan di dalam mobil. Aku pernah bertemu gadis itu, dia pernah makan di rumah dan memanggilku Bu Melda.

Setelah putriku dinyatakan mengalami kematian otak, suamiku membujukku untuk menandatangani perjanjian donor organ. Aku menderita karena rasa rindu yang begitu menyakitkan, semangat hidupku sudah hampir hancur. Namun secara tidak sengaja, aku menemukan bahwa dokter penanggung jawab yang bernama Sarah, adalah pujaan hati suamiku. Mereka memalsukan laporan dan menyatakan bahwa putriku mati otak, hanya demi membujukku menandatangani perjanjian itu, lalu menipuku untuk memberikan jantung putriku pada putrinya Sarah. Aku menyaksikan suamiku yang mengantar putri Sarah keluar dari rumah sakit. Mereka bertiga tertawa bahagia, seolah-olah mereka adalah sebuah keluarga yang sempurna. Aku pun menghadap mereka, hanya untuk didorong jatuh dari tangga dan mati di tangan suamiku dan pujaan hatinya. Namun aku diberikan sebuah kesempatan lagi, aku kembali ke hari aku menandatangani perjanjian donor itu. Sambil melihat putriku yang terbaring di atas tempat tidur rumah sakit, aku diam-diam bersumpah. Kali ini, demi kamu putriku, aku akan membuat pria dan wanita bajingan itu membayar dengan nyawa mereka.

Pada hari peringatan lima tahun kebersamaan kami, pacarku Luis Loren memberiku sebuah gelang yang harganya tidak sampai dua ratus ribu. Malam itu juga, dia membelikan sebuah kapal pesiar seharga 20 miliar untuk cinta pertamanya, Paula Santoso. Aku menolak gelang itu. Dia malah mengataiku tidak pengertian. "Aku memberikan hadiah pada Paula demi saham perusahaan, bukan karena aku masih memiliki perasaan padanya." "Kamu hanyalah orang miskin, aku sudah berjanji akan menikahimu, memangnya masih nggak cukup? Padahal ini adalah ujian terakhir untukmu, Ziva, kamu gagal." Aku mengakhiri hubungan kami. Dia langsung melamar Paula. Lima tahun kemudian, kami bertemu di sebuah hotel mewah, tepatnya tempat diadakan Konferensi Bisnis. Perusahaannya akan segera menjadi pemimpin industri, dia masuk dengan menggandeng Paula. Ketika dia melihatku, aku sedang berdiri di kolam air mancur dengan pakaian yang berantakan. "Ziva." Dia berkata dengan nada sinis, "Dulu, kamu menolakku. Kamu nggak menyangka setelah berpisah denganku, hidupmu akan lebih buruk dari pengemis, 'kan?" "Jangan kira karena kamu merekayasa pertemuan ini dan menunjukkan betapa menderitanya hidupmu, aku akan mengasihanimu dan membawamu pergi." Aku mengabaikannya. Berlian biru kesayangan putraku yang ayahnya berikan sebagai hadiah ulang tahun pertama tidak sengaja jatuh ke dalam air mancur. Putraku menangis tersedu-sedu, aku harus segera menemukan berlian biru itu.

I'm eight months pregnant, and I suddenly go into early labor. But my husband, Aldrich Lohan, locks me up in the basement and gives me a tocolytic injection to stop my labor instead. He does all these just to ensure that his sister-in-law's baby is born before mine, so that my child won't fight for the inheritance rights. "Anton saved my life," Aldrich says, referring to his elder brother. "But now, he's gone, succeeded only by the baby in Chrissy's womb. I must let her baby inherit all the rights. Chrissy lost everything, but you're still here, enjoying everything I'm giving you like you're entitled to them. So what if you compromise a little bit for her sake?" The contractions in my lower body are hurting more than I can bear. I'm on the verge of passing out as I grab on to the hem of his pants and beg, "I swear that I won't let my child claim his inheritance rights! Please, just send me to the hospital. My child will die otherwise!" However, Aldrich just kicks me aside. "Chrissy has been pregnant for nine months. How can you be giving birth in just eight months? How would I know whether or not you're just inducing birth on purpose? I don't care. I won't let anyone steal the inheritance rights from Chrissy's baby, even if there's just a minuscule percentage of it happening." In the end, Chrissy successfully gives birth to her child, and it's only after that that Aldrich finally remembers me in the basement. "Bring Kelsey to the hospital and make them bring out the best medical equipment to ensure the safe birth of my child." His personal assistant, Edgar Salome, shivers as he says, "But Mr. Lohan… Mrs. Lohan and her child have both died…"

I set fire to my painting in front of the entire academy. Thunderous applause erupts from the crowd as everyone thinks it's some kind of performance art. Unlike them, Willow Laurent is distraught. She rushes up and grabs my hand, questioning in a shrill voice, "Cassidy Seymour, have you gone mad? This is your only chance to prove yourself!" I shake her hand off me coldly. My only chance? No… What she means is that it's her chance. In my past life, I created this masterpiece with all my heart and soul. But she stole it from me and submitted it as her entry first. Whether it was the composition, the colors, or even my original dot-stippling technique… She replicated every detail flawlessly. Then, she won the National Young Artists Gold Award, signed with a top gallery, and became a rising star. And what about me? I was condemned as a shameless plagiarist. Insults and curses gradually drowned me. "You shouldn't be an artist!" "Plagiarists are scum! They should just die!" Her fans stormed into my studio, smashed my art supplies, and broke my right hand. As I saw no end to the hell that I was living in, I jumped down from the top floor of my studio. When I open my eyes again, I'm back to the very day she first accuses me of plagiarism.

To save the vampire clan, I slept with my crush, Stefan Ferrano. Stefan had always been cold and distant, but that night, his response was fiery. He ignored the fact that I was inexperienced and took me with wild, unrestrained passion. Everything unraveled when my blood servant, Stella Luciado, brought me fresh blood and Stefan found out. Like a man possessed, he tore off all my clothes and dragged me into the sunlight. “So even the vampire queen is afraid of sunlight? Do you know what sort of torture your kind are enduring right now? But no pain compares to what I felt losing my sister because of you and your kind.” For five years, he held my clan’s safety over my head. He locked me in a sunroom and found new ways every day to torment me in bed. The day I gave birth to his child, he married Stella. Stefan called my child a bastard and forced me to watch him and Stella sleep together. When Stella was unhappy, he bled me so she could bathe in my blood. He even painted with my blood and made me dance undressed in the sun. He tortured me but never let me die, using specially made drugs to keep me alive. A vampire who had offered their ancestral blood but didn't turn a human into a vampire within five years would end up dead. I had five days left to live. Finally, I didn't have to keep my secret anymore.

After confirming I was pregnant, I suddenly heard my husband’s inner voice. “This idiot is still gloating over her pregnancy. She doesn’t even know we switched out her IVF embryo. She’s nothing more than a surrogate for Elle. If Elle weren’t worried about how childbirth might endanger her life, I would’ve kicked this worthless woman out already. Just looking at her makes me sick. “Once she delivers the baby, I’ll make sure she never gets up from the operating table. Then I’ll finally marry Elle, my one true love.” My entire body went rigid. I clenched the IVF test report in my hands and looked straight at my husband. He gazed back at me with gentle eyes. “I’ll take care of you and the baby for the next few months, honey.” However, right then, his inner voice struck again. “I’ll lock that woman in a cage like a dog. I’d like to see her escape!” Shock and heartbreak crashed over me all at once because the Elle he spoke of was none other than my sister.

As the youngest daughter of the powerful mafia family, the Blythes, I was spoiled the moment I was born. I had three older brothers who adored me. When I turned eighteen, our father was killed in a turf fight. The shock sent our mother into a rapid decline, and she passed away less than a week later. To avenge our father, my three brothers waged war against our enemies for three days. Though they emerged victorious, all three were critically wounded. My eldest brother, Damon Blythe, suffered a ruptured liver and was on the brink of death. Matt Blythe, my second brother, had severe kidney damage. Chris Blythe had lost too much blood and went into heart failure. I spent a fortune hiring the world’s top surgeons. They transplanted half of my liver to Damon, a kidney to Matt, and even gave my heart to Chris, replacing mine with a mechanical one. Thanks to the doctors’ skill, all three survived and went on to take over the Blythes’ empire. Five years later, they became infatuated with Sophia Foster, a poor but strong-willed intern. They even forced me to give up my last kidney to her. It was only after I had died on the operating table that they regretted what they had done.

I lose my memory and wander the streets, surviving on scraps and the kindness of strangers. Then, Miles Blackwood from the Institute of Medical Research finds me and takes me in. He tells me that I'm his long-lost fiancee who ran away years ago, and that he's spent every ounce of energy searching for me ever since. As I'm frail and riddled with illness, he watches over me as I take my medication every day, tracing the scar on my lower back with a strange, tender affection. But everything shatters the day I regain my memory. I accidentally overhear Miles speaking to a friend. "Miles, you forcibly removed Cassidy's kidney for Claudia back then. That was what caused her to lose her memories. And in the end, you let Claudia take all the credit for the research. "Now, after Cassidy's been suffering out there for years, you're bringing her back just to use her for the artificial kidney project? Aren't you worried that she'll regain her memories?" Miles scoffs. "She's incredibly grateful to me now. Besides, she's just a sickly woman. So what if she finds out? As long as we succeed in the research on artificial kidneys, Claudia will become the star of the medical world. As for Cassidy? She'll have made her contribution to the medical field." A cold chill rushes through me in an instant—I am Cassidy.
