Physical Attack Dalam Hubungan

Demi mengejar hal yang mendebarkan, aku diam-diam mengirim video diriku yang sedang memuaskan diri menggunakan mainan kepada teman semejaku. Aku melakukannya untuk menggoda hasratnya sedikit demi sedikit ....

Aku disiram air keras dan mati di ruang bawah tanah. Keluargaku tidak mengenali jasadku, mereka juga tidak melaporkan kejadian ini pada polisi. Ibuku mengambil pisau bedah yang sudah lama tak terpakai, lalu memisahkan daging dan tulangku. Ayahku dengan penuh semangat melapisi rangka tulangku dengan gips, hingga terbentuklah sebuah patung gips yang sangat indah. Kakakku memamerkan patung itu dan meraih banyak penghargaan, menjadi seorang gadis genius yang dipuja banyak orang. Namun kemudian, patung itu pecah, dan terungkaplah setengah ruas jariku yang terputus di dalamnya. Mereka panik.

Aku adalah seorang wanita yang berprofesi sebagai dokter andrologi. Saat ini sedang liburan semester satu, jadi banyak mahasiswa yang datang berobat. Satu atau dua dari mereka tersipu malu saat melihat payudaraku yang mengesankan berukuran 36D, mereka mati-matian berusaha menutupi reaksi fisik mereka dengan tangan. Bahkan ada beberapa yang selama proses pemeriksaan membuatku tanganku basah. Hingga sampailah pada hari ini, pria yang sangat berbeda terbaring di ranjang rumah sakit, kejantanannya membuat orang tak bisa berpaling. Dia menggodaku, menatap tubuhku, tanpa berusaha menyembunyikan reaksi fisiknya. “Dok, pernah makan yang sebesar punyaku, nggak?” Tanpa kusadari ini akan menjadi awal kehancuranku...

Setelah suamiku meninggal, hasratku menjadi semakin kuat. Setiap kali larut malam dan suasana hening, aku selalu mendambakan seseorang untuk memuaskan hasratku. Usia yang penuh gairah ditambah dengan kecanduan fisik ini menyiksaku tanpa henti. Aku pun memutuskan untuk berkonsultasi dengan seorang dokter desa untuk mengobati masalah tubuhku yang sulit dijelaskan ini, tapi aku tak menyangka dia malah….

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.

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."

In my previous life, I was born at the stroke of a cold, pitch-black midnight on New Year's Day, an omen the old town whispered about. They called me a Deathbringer's child, destined to guide the souls of the stillborn to rest. From the age of six, I carried small coffins alone to the graveyard by the church, burying them in silence. Each time, when I reached into the velvet shroud that wrapped the tiny casket, I would find a golden coin resting inside. My mother sold those coins for money, buying my brother a grand mansion, while leaving me behind in the crumbling family house to keep doing the work. No one expected the world of Haunts to descend. However, those coins turned out to be tokens of command, keys that bound the Haunts of the apocalypse to my will. With them, I became the Empress of the End, feared by all, ruling with every resource at my command.
