Outer Banks Sofia

Pada hari libur semester, unggahan di status WhatsApp yang paling viral adalah tentang diriku. Judulnya adalah, "Pak Bondan membawa putranya untuk merayakan ulang tahun cinta sejatinya. Apakah dia akhirnya berencana bercerai dengan Sofia Jayadi?" Aku diam-diam menyukai postingan itu. Saat ponselku berdering, aku sedang membongkar balon-balon yang telah disiapkan untuk hari jadi pernikahan. "Sayang," ujar suamiku dengan terburu-buru, ingin memberikan penjelasan. "Anak kita tiba-tiba merengek ingin pergi ke taman bermain, jadi aku ...." Di latar belakang, terdengar suara tawa anak kami. "Ayah, Bibi bilang kalau malam ini aku bisa tidur dengannya!" Aku menatap rumah yang berantakan ini. Balon-balon tampak terkulai lemas, sementara krim di atas kue sudah mengeras. "Kamu nggak perlu menjelaskan." Aku mendengar diriku berkata, "Aku memahami semuanya." Hanya saja, kali ini semuanya akan berbeda. Aku tidak menginginkan ayah dan anak ini lagi.

"Marry me," he replied coldly and emotionlessly. "In exchange, I'll pay your debt." There are no strings attached, and no love is expected. It was just a basic transaction." Sofie paused, her heart beating. She realized she had no other option. But as she stared into his cold gaze, she couldn't help but wonder if she was striking a pact with the devil. She felt a shudder run down her spine. Could she actually pull this off? Marry this man for money, knowing it will be a loveless marriage?

But to him, I was nothing more than a toy he could summon whenever he pleased. The moment his first love, Sofia Costa, flew back into the country, he humiliated me without a second thought. He kissed her in a Sicilian church, abandoned me on a rain-soaked road with a gash ten inches long on my calf, and later dismissed me with a cold, cutting line. He said I was someone unimportant, someone he could simply ignore. She waved the tulip plush he'd given her in front of me. "I'm the only one he loves. You were just a stand-in." While I rebuilt my life in Chicago and finally found some peace, this ruthless Mafia don knelt outside my door, eyes red with emotion. "Elena, come back to me." I kicked his hand away with a smile. "Your so-called devotion disgusts me."

My breathing rate slowly increased on seeing his outstretched hand, and out of my gritted teeth, I asked, "Did you poison this food?" There was no slight change in his face as he answered me coldly, "I would rather choke you to the bed with my bare hands, Senorita. That way, you'll curse out my name" My eyes dimmed for a moment. Was this devil in an armani suit still talking about murder? "Now, open your mouth!" He commanded and my stomach rumbled in protest. My lips vibrated and I tried to hold the hot tears forming inside of my eyes. I couldn't stay longer with this hunger.
