Physical Attack Dalam Hubungan

Putra tetangga adalah seorang pengintip. Aku sengaja memanggil namanya saat dia diam-diam mengintipku bermain dengan diriku sendiri. Saat aku memberinya les dan dia menahanku di kamarnya, sebenarnya aku sudah punya firasat. Namun, tidak kusangka, justru kakaknya yang menerobos masuk pada saat itu...

Dokter berkata, aku hanya sisa tiga hari. Gagal hati akut. Satu-satunya harapan adalah uji klinis yang sangat berisiko, peluang terakhir dan paling tipis bagiku untuk bertahan hidup. Namun, suamiku, David, malah memberikan kuota yang tersisa kepada adik perempuan angkatku, Emma, yang juga merupakan ibu baptis putriku. Kondisi penyakitnya masih dalam tahap awal. Dia bilang itu adalah “pilihan yang tepat” karena dia “lebih pantas untuk hidup.” Aku pun menandatangani dokumen untuk menghentikan pengobatan dan meminum obat pereda nyeri berdosis tinggi yang diresepkan oleh dokter. Ganjarannya adalah organ dalamku akan gagal berfungsi dan aku akan kehilangan nyawa. Ketika aku menyerahkan perusahaan perhiasan dan rancangan desain yang telah aku kerjakan dengan susah payah kepada Emma, ayah dan ibu memujiku karena menjadi “kakak perempuan yang baik”. Ketika aku setuju untuk bercerai dan membiarkan David menikahi Emma, David mengatakan “akhirnya aku bersikap perhatian”. Ketika aku membiarkan anakku untuk memanggil Emma dengan sebutan ibu, anakku bertepuk tangan dengan gembira dan berkata, “Emma adalah ibu yang lembut dan baik.” Ketika aku memberikan semua hartaku kepada Emma, seluruh keluargaku menganggapnya wajar dan tidak melihat sesuatu yang aneh pada diriku. Aku sangat penasaran, apakah mereka masih bisa tertawa setelah mendengar berita kematianku?

In our five years of marriage, I had given in to my husband, John, for a grand total of three times. The first time was during my pregnancy. He had taken his ex-girlfriend Stacy, who had once taken three bullets for him, back home and cared for her. When I became angry, he immediately sent her away once she recovered. The second time was after childbirth, when I was ready to return to work. To repay a favor, he gave the position I had worked years for to Stacy. He said it was so I could rest well. I looked at my son, who needed me, and I conceded. The third time was during our son’s birthday. In front of the entire company, he had announced that Stacy was his wife, all so she could establish herself in the company. I gave him two choices: divorce or send her away. Without hesitation, he chose the latter and immediately sent her abroad. The fourth time was when my father suddenly had a heart attack and urgently needed surgery. He disappeared again. I searched everywhere for him to cover the hospital expenses, and I finally discovered that he had gone to the airport to pick up a pregnant Stacy, who was returning to the country. Because of that, my father missed the best chance for treatment and died. I was done giving in. I disguised the divorce agreement as our son’s medical bill and tricked him into signing it. No compensation or apology would matter. I did not wish to have him near my son or myself again.

I married a guy thirty-two years older than I am. Reason? Money. We got divorced, I got all his money and became the city's richest person. Just when my luck was starting to turn, I was hit with devastating news. My ex died. Drowned, they said. The cops think I'm the killer.

I had gained thirty pounds after I was pregnant for six months. My husband, Jordan Smith felt disgusted by me. He would rather stay at work than come home, and he fell in love with his girl best friend, Holly Brown. On our wedding anniversary, they were acting intimately in a private room. Meanwhile, Holly was wearing my wedding gown. I saw the whole thing with my own eyes. She had her arms around Jordan’s neck and said to me coyly, “It’s not what you think.” Jordan was agitated after he was caught cheating on me. “I’ve known her since we were kids. We have been best friends for so many years. If something were to happen between us, it would have happened a long time ago.” However, I saw the hickey on Holly’s shoulder. She said to Jordan, “Your wife looks obese. My cousin didn’t gain a single pound after she had given birth. Instead, she looked even slimmer. Jordan, did your wife secretly eat pig feed?” Jordan felt embarrassed. He instructed someone to lock me in a bedroom and starve me for a few days. I suffered from a miscarriage. Indeed, I lost the weight on my abdomen, but Jordan went insane.

My twin sister, Ruby Stone, and I split up after our parents' divorce. She stays with Mom, while I went with Dad. Since the divorce, he's sunk into a deep depression, gambling away every penny we have. We move into a dark, damp apartment, and life becomes an endless struggle. Every day, I go to school and quietly work a part-time job to keep us afloat. Then, out of nowhere, Ruby—whom I haven't heard from in forever—sends me a link to a live stream. "Check this out, Aria. There's a surprise waiting for you." I click it, and my jaw drops. I'm the one topping the trending live streams. The screen splits in two. On one side, I sit in my dingy apartment, hunched over homework under the dim light. On the other side, Mom and Dad cuddle with Ruby on the fancy couch of their sprawling villa. The comments came pouring in. "Let's see what happens when twins are raised on opposite sides of fortune all the way to 18." "Aria still doesn't know, right? Her parents never divorced. They're loaded and perfectly happy. Ruby's life has been like a dream too." "Poor Aria. She's always starving and never has anything decent to wear. Isn't that basically abuse?" "She's the more sensible one, so her parents decided to raise her poorly."
