Petra Marvel

SAHAM 50 PERSEN "Aku minta 50% saham dari Petra." Senyum Nadia tersungging di bibirnya, dalam hati berharap pria di hadapannya itu, mundur dan dia tidak harus memenuhi permintaan Adelia, sepupunya. "Oke, setelah bayinya lahir langsung aku alihkan 50% saham Petra atas namamu," jawab Bryan dengan tatapan lekat ke arahnya. "Mas!" Adelia menguncang lengan Bryan. Jelas tak terima dengan keputusan suaminya. "Jangan kuatir, saham milikku yang kuberikan padanya nanti," jawab Bryan seolah tak peduli dengan nilai saham miliknya. "Dan, kuharap permintaan Nadia ini, hanya kita bertiga yang tahu, Adelia." Nadia mendengar ucapan pasutri di hadapannya itu, tertawa meremehkan. "Sudahlah cari wanita lain, saja." Dipandanginya wajah sepupunya yang terlihat bingung menatap suaminya. "Pikirkan lagi, Adelia. Kenapa harus memaksakan diri memberikan keturunan pada suamimu, ini." "Besok kubawakan surat perjanjian bermateri, kita buat kesepakatan di depan pengacaraku." Bryan berkata cepat, tak ingin Nadia berhasil mempengaruhi istrinya. "Kamu enggak usah khawatir, Adelia. Kehilangan 50% saham Petra, tidak masalah bagiku." "Tapi, perusahaan ini, milik keluargaku, Mas ...." "Memang benar, Sayang. Tapi, 60% kepemilikan sahamnya milikku." "Kamu pikirkan lagi, seberapa berharganya anak kita? Lagian saham yang kuberikan ke Nadia adalah saham milikku. Itu, kulakukan karena aku menghargai pengorbanan Nadia setahun kedepan memberikan kehidupan pada calon anak kita." Adelia sampai tertunduk tak berani menatap wajah suaminya. Dalam hatinya, ia mulai membenarkan ucapan suaminya. Tapi, imbalan yang diminta Nadia tetap tak masuk akal baginya. "Masih ada waktu hingga anakku lahir, untuk saat ini, tak mengapa mengikuti keinginan Mbak Nadia." "Besok mau kujemput atau langsung ketemuan di kantor Pak Ilham?" tanya Bryan mengalihkan pandangan ke Nadia. Perempuan yang merupakan teman sekelas di SMU sekaligus cinta pertama Bryan itu, bergeming. Kilatan dari pandangan Bryan membuat Nadia terdiam. Sekarang, ia tak punya alasan untuk mundur, menjadi ibu pengganti anak Bryan dan Adelia.

A chorus of howls interrupted my thoughts as I closed my eyes and prayed they wouldn’t find me. But then, I caught his scent, making Rayne surge forward. “Mila?” His voice came out in ragged breaths and sent a shiver down my spine. “Are you okay?” I turned to see Tyler stumbling into the entrance in all his glory. Even like this, I couldn’t help but marvel at his physique. If I didn’t want him, I was doing a terrible job at showing it. I closed my eyes to stop from staring, but even then images of him appeared in my mind. “Please,” I begged. “Just leave me alone!” “You know I can’t do that,” Tyler growled softly. “Let me help you. You’re in he–” “I don’t care!” I screamed. I shivered, not from being cold but from the sweat building all over me. I knew Tyler was moving closer to me, his scent making me dizzy. I wrapped my arms around myself. I’d never experienced anything like this before. It was all-consuming and I needed relief immediately. “Please,” I pleaded with both of them, but slowly lost the battle the moment I felt my hands moving between my legs. **** After enduring not one, but two rejections, Mila decides her only option is to leave before she’s swallowed by the darkness.

Even though I was the one who broke my ribs in the car accident, my boyfriend Jared decided to take care of his drunk ex-girlfriend instead. When I called to ask him to spend time with me in the hospital, he berated me. “Why are you so clingy? Can’t you tell that Isabelle needs me right now? “You’re a nurse, aren’t you? What, you can’t even take care of yourself now?” Heartbroken, I suggested we break up, only to be met with anger. “I was going to propose to you, you know? Considering how influential my family business is, I need to make sure I choose my wife wisely. “Today was a test to see if you have what it takes to be the next Mrs. Carter. I thought you would be independent and selfless. I expect my future wife to have my back no matter what. “Look at yourself now. You can’t even take care of yourself over something so insignificant! I’m disappointed, Charmaine.” The next day, he posted a picture of himself and his ex-girlfriend on social media. The image’s caption was targeted at me: [You’d better think twice and apologize, Charmaine, or I’ll just date someone else.] I did not apologize. I had had enough of him, so I left the city. Three years later, I saw him again in the lobby of the Financial Tower. I was wearing a heavy onesie costume and sporting a full face of cosplay makeup, while he was wearing an expensive suit and had Isabelle hanging delicately from his arm. He recognized me immediately and laughed. “I knew you never moved on from me, Charmaine! Does it hurt to know I’ll be marrying someone else? “That’s what you’re doing here, right? You’re trying to cosplay as my favorite Marvel character to get my attention. “Maybe I’ll consider taking you back if you kneel and apologize.” I did not deign to reply. I had indeed loved him once upon a time, but today was my son’s birthday, and the cosplay was my surprise for him...
