Part Time Cafe Salatiga

I merely brought up the wedding decorations, and my fiancé's first love ran out of the room in tears. Ian Murray slapped me so hard I fell to the ground. His face twisted in fury, teeth clenched with hatred. "Daphne, are you that desperate to get married? Afraid no one else will want you, so you're clinging to me, forcing me into it? Our wedding next week is postponed!" I held my face, but not even a ripple stirred in my heart. This made the eighth time he'd postponed it. I had been waiting for him since I was twenty-eight. Now, in my early thirties, I was still getting nowhere closer to being married. So this time, I quietly packed my things and chose to leave. Maybe this marriage didn't need to happen after all.

I dated my lawyer boyfriend for five years. He canceled our wedding. Fifty-two times. First time? His intern messed up some paperwork. He ditched me at the beach to fix it. I waited all day. Alone. Second time, we were mid-ceremony when he bolted. Heard that intern was getting heat from another lawyer and left me to face the guests and their stares. After that, every time we tried again, there was always some "emergency" with her. Always. I finally hit my limit. I was done. Packed up and broke it off. But the day I left Ainsley? He totally lost it trying to find me.

Forbidden love, that’s what came to mind by Yvo De Luna when he fell in love with Karadine Monteza, the daughter and the heir of the leader syndicate in the city of Eldefonso, Renato Monteza. Yvo is one of the personnel of Renato Monteza and it got inevitable that he was closed with Karadine, the first lady who could shown him an arrogance and braviness. That if not because of their agreement for some things, he would not see the genuine heart of her. Yvo and Karadine have easily fell in love to each other. But when Renato Monteza has find out their closeness to each other, it was the time that they got separated their path together. Karadine has stayed in the mansion for few months and got warned from any illegal transactions of her father to other clients, simply because, she had the trust of taking care before for her father’s business. The reason why their Yvo’s meeting have became elusive as well as the foundation of love that they build together have been shattered. However, it was true that a forbidden thing is really fun to do. The reason why it could provoke them to comply with their desire to love each other in the midst of illegal ways where they were living. And despite of the weapon that serve as their defense everyday, will they going to defense their love despite of the forbidden love?

On the eve of a surgery, I voluntarily resign from my position as lead surgeon. My colleagues sneer behind my back and mock me openly. "And this guy's supposed to have a PhD from abroad? Looks more like he bought a degree from some no-name university." "Can't even handle a challenge without running—what kind of doctor is that?" In my last life, I gave up competing in a general practitioner skills competition to take on this very surgery. But because the other lead surgeon violated protocol during the operation, it ended in a serious medical accident. My sister, the head of the department, pinned all the blame on me. Even my girlfriend stood firmly on their side, accusing me of incompetence. Overnight, I went from being a respected medical PhD to the disgrace of the hospital. I couldn't prove the mistake wasn't mine. I was fired and faced criminal charges. My parents, once so proud of me, pointed at me in rage. "We don't have a son who plays god with people's lives!" Crushed by shame and despair, I spiraled into deep depression and jumped from the hospital roof. But now, I open my eyes again. I'm back—back to the night before the surgery.

No dia do meu casamento, meu noivo e minha irmã, Celeste Paiva, foram flagrados juntos na sala de descanso, em um momento íntimo. Eu me tornei motivo de chacota para todos. Foi então que meu amigo de infância, Ivan Siqueira, ajoelhou-se diante de todos e me pediu em casamento, protegendo-me de maneira grandiosa. Após o casamento, ele foi totalmente atencioso comigo. Infelizmente, ele não conseguia corresponder às expectativas na intimidade. Nossa vida sexual nunca foi harmoniosa. Somente neste ano, depois de recorrer à fertilização in vitro, consegui finalmente engravidar. Depois disso, Ivan tornou-se ainda mais cuidadoso comigo. Eu acreditava que ele era, enfim, o meu destino. Até o dia em que escutei sua conversa com um amigo. — Ivan, você foi cruel demais. Bárbara faz tudo por você, como consegue trocar os óvulos dela para que Bárbara seja barriga de aluguel só porque Celeste tem medo da dor do parto? — Além disso, faltam apenas dois meses para o nascimento do bebê. O que você pretende fazer depois? Ivan ficou em silêncio por um instante e suspirou. — Depois que o bebê nascer, vou entregá-lo para Celeste, realizando o maior desejo dela. — Quanto à Bárbara, direi que perdemos a criança. — E então, vou passar o resto da vida ao lado dela. "Era isso, então." "Todo o cuidado e carinho que recebi, tinham um único propósito: ela." Dei meia-volta e marquei uma cirurgia. Esta criança manchada, eu, Bárbara Paiva, não a queria mais. E essa falsa união, menos ainda.

The explosion wiped out my parents—and their company. All I had left was some insurance cash and a pile of patents nobody cared about. I begged their old partners to back me. Crickets. Then Alex Ross strolled in, played the hero no one asked for, and proposed. Five years deep into our marriage, after my 99th FDA rejection, I finally cracked. I was in the garage when I heard his phone on speaker. Mark's voice came through: "Dude, you're still handing Lily Emma's blueprints before she even files? How many times has she flopped now? Girl's relentless, huh?" Alex? Straight-up ice. "Ninety-nine. She'll quit soon." "You're really tanking your wife to boost Lily's brand? Worth it?" "Lily's launching her new product tomorrow at the Boston Medical Summit. Patent number 100. Watching her blow up from nothing... makes me proud." "But it's all Emma's stuff. Your dad made you marry her for her brain, didn't he?" "Don't bring up my father." His voice turned sharp. "He forced me to dump Lily. I just played along." I sank into the driver's seat, frozen. I wasn't a partner. Just a pawn—revenge bait for his dad and backup fuel for his ex.
