Paul Reed Smith S2

Setelah empat tahun pernikahan, satu tanda tangan dari dirinya sendiri akhirnya membebaskanku, meski dia sama sekali tidak sadar apa yang sudah dia tandatangani. Aku adalah Sofia Wijaya, istri bayangan dari Revan Mahendra, pewaris keluarga mafia paling berkuasa di kota ini. Tapi saat kekasih masa kecilnya, Olivia Kartika yang gemerlap dan penuh keistimewaan itu kembali, aku akhirnya mengerti, aku hanya sementara. Jadi aku memainkan langkah terakhirku. Aku menyodorkan dokumen di atas mejanya, gugatan cerai yang kusamarkan sebagai formulir universitas rutin. Revan menandatanganinya tanpa menoleh lagi, ujung pena menggores kertas sama sembrono seperti dia memperlakukan sumpah pernikahan kami, tanpa sadar kalau dia baru saja mengakhiri pernikahan ini. Namun aku melangkah pergi membawa lebih dari sekadar kebebasan. Tersembunyi di balik mantelku, ada pewarisnya yang belum lahir, rahasia yang kelak bisa menghancurkannya ketika ia sadar apa yang telah ia lepaskan. Dan sekarang, pria yang dulu bahkan tidak pernah memperhatikanku itu sedang mengguncang dunia untuk mencariku. Dari apartemen megah sampai ke selokan dunia bawah tanah, tak ada sudut yang ia lewatkan. Namun aku bukan mangsa lemah yang hanya menunggu untuk ditangkap. Aku bangkit dan membangun diriku lagi, di tempat di mana bahkan satu orang pun dari Keluarga Mahendra tidak bisa mengikutiku. Kali ini, aku tidak akan lagi memohon cintanya. Justru dia yang akan memohon cintaku.

The day I signed the divorce papers, I voluntarily gave up custody of my daughter. Because that day, in the courtroom, she clung to her father’s neck, sobbing with all the fury a six-year-old could muster: “You don’t even love me… do you? If you leave Daddy, I’ll stay with him… and you’ll be all alone forever!” In my past life, I had ignored her childish threats. I fought tooth and nail for her custody. I poured every ounce of myself into raising her. And yet… she spent her entire life hating me. Not once did she ever call me “Mom” until the day I died. On her wedding day, she even invited her father’s mistress to the stage to give a speech of thanks. Now, opening my eyes again, seeing that same cruel little face staring back at me, I simply nodded. “I don’t care.” After all… I never wanted a daughter like her anyway.

Elena Rossi married Victor Moretti, the most feared mafia Don in the underground world. For three years, he treated her like a queen. Everyone said the ruthless Don was madly in love with his wife. Elena believed them. Until the night everything fell apart. At a family banquet, Elena was drugged. When she begged Victor to stay with her, he simply told his guards to take her to the hospital—then left to meet her sister. In that moment, the love Elena had once been so proud of shattered. She soon learned the cruel truth: Victor had married her only because he believed she was the woman who once saved his life. And now that the “real” savior had appeared—her sister—Elena had become nothing more than a mistake. So Elena made her choice. She quietly arranged everything, had Victor unknowingly sign the divorce papers, and disappeared from his world—carrying his unborn child. Only after she was gone did Victor realize. The woman he thought he married out of gratitude had long become the one he could not live without. The woman who had saved his life years ago had been Elena all along—only she had been injured back then and lost that part of her memory. By the time the truth came to light, Elena was already gone. The cold-blooded mafia Don who once controlled the entire underworld finally lost control.

Adrian Moretti’s adopted sister—She knew perfectly well that I suffered from severe asthma and could not be exposed to smoke or strong scents. Yet during the yacht reception, she deliberately dragged me onto the open deck, where cigars burned nonstop and the wind howled. Within seconds, my chest tightened. When I reached for my inhaler, my blood ran cold. It was empty. I collapsed against the railing, gasping violently, my lungs burning as if they were collapsing in on themselves. She crouched beside me and smiled. “You’re always so dramatic. It’s just a little smoke. You don’t need to act like you’re dying,” she said softly. “You’re too weak. You need to build some tolerance.” I looked toward Adrian, my vision already blurring. “Adrian,” I choked. “Give me my inhaler. If I don’t use it right now, I’m going to suffocate.” He frowned slightly. “Don’t you think you’re overreacting?” he said coldly. “I’ve never heard of anyone dying from a bit of smoke. She’s right—you’re always seeking attention. We finally gathered tonight, and you’re ruining it.” My heart dropped. I fumbled for my phone and called my mother. “Mom,” I sobbed, barely able to breathe. “I’m being bullied… and I can’t breathe.” My voice shook violently.

After a century of war, the three races finally reached a fragile peace. The human kingdom, the vampire noble houses, and the wolf clans signed the Covenant of Three Realms. The Royal Court would stand above the races, and only a mixed-blood royal heir would rule all three realms. When my turn came,I chose Owen, Alpha of the Bloodmoon Pack. Our marriage ceremony took place on the Night of the Full Moon Oath. Owen’s foster sister, Nora, fled the Bloodmoon territory after the rite. She crossed beyond the pack’s borders and ran straight into a hunter’s silver trap laid in the forest. The silver tore through her wolf spirit. She died there before anyone could reach her. When Owen arrived, he did not rage. He simply carried her body back to the pack lands and performed the ancient wolf burial rites with his own hands. After that night, he continued to play the role of the perfect mate. But the night I gave birth to our hybrid child, he drove a blade through my throat, his eyes filled with hatred. His voice was filled with cold hatred. “If your bloodline weren’t the only one capable of producing a ruler for the three realms, I would never have married you.” “Nora would never have fled the pack lands. She would never have died in a hunter’s trap. My first child would still be alive.” Pain swallowed everything. When I opened my eyes again. I had returned to the day the king ordered me to choose between the vampire houses and the wolf clans.
