Physical Attack Dalam Hubungan

Di pesta ulang tahunnya, Gilena sedang berharap dalam bahasa Jerman di depan kue ulang tahunnya. “Semoga tahun ini Tante Jolin bisa jadi ibuku.” Suami mengelus kepala Gilena sambil tersenyum, lalu berkata, “Keinginanmu akan segera terwujud.” Aku tercengang, kue di tanganku langsung jatuh ke lantai. Suami bertanya dengan penuh perhatian, “Kau kenapa?” Aku menggelengkan kepala dan jawab sambil tersenyum, “Tanganku licin.” Hanya aku sendiri yang tahu, aku panik karena mengerti bahasa Jerman, sampai-sampai kue pun terjatuh dari tanganku.

Aku adalah seorang istri dari keluarga kaya. Aku punya uang, wajah yang cantik, dan seorang anak angkat. Anak angkatku sangat perhatian, hanya saja belakangan ini dia mulai menunjukkan sikap yang aneh. Ada hawa posesif dalam sorot matanya saat melihatku. Saat aku sedang yoga, dia mulai berani menyentuhku, membuat hatiku jadi gundah. Pada akhirnya, dia tak bisa menahan diri. Dia memberiku segelas air yang ternyata sudah dicampur obat.

"Sistem, aku ingin pulang." Sistem langsung menjawab, "Baik, Nona, proses pelepasan program sudah aktif. Dalam setengah bulan, kamu bisa meninggalkan tempat ini." Sistem yang biasanya mekanis itu terdiam beberapa detik, lalu bertanya dengan sedikit kebingungan. "Nona, di sini ada suami yang menyayangimu dan putra yang selalu membelamu. Bukankah ini rumahmu? Mereka adalah keluargamu." Mendengar kata keluarga, tatapan Shanon perlahan tertuju pada televisi.

"Paman, aku mohon. Bantu aku melepaskan belenggu ini ...." Gadis yang merupakan teman putriku itu mengangkat roknya, aku pun melihat sesuatu yang biasanya hanya dipakai wanita zaman kuno. Sebuah celana dalam khusus dengan gembok kecil yang hanya bisa dibuka oleh pria. Tepat saat gadis itu menerjang ke pelukanku dengan sudut mata memerah... Teman satu kosnya, seorang wanita berusia tiga puluh tahun, pulang ke rumah. Melihat pemandangan itu, wanita itu terbakar cemburu. Di bawah pengaruh alkohol, wanita itu justru melepas pakaian luarnya dan ikut menerjang ke arahku. "Nak, kamu minggir dulu. Biarkan Bibi yang berkomunikasi lebih lama dengan Paman ...." Antara gadis muda yang manis dan polos, atau wanita matang yang penuh pesona, aku tidak sanggup lagi menahannya.

Demi membantu keuangan keluarga, aku bekerja sebagai pengasuh di rumah Tuan Linclon. Tapi bukan hanya harus mengurus dia dan anaknya, bahkan harus mengurus ayahnya juga." “Tuan Linclon, apa aku sudah boleh pulang?” Mereka berdua menatapku dengan mata tajam. Mereka langsung menarik tanganku dari dua sisi, lalu mendekatkan wajah mereka. “Tidak boleh pergi, kami belum kenyang!”

My son has a high fever, so I call my husband. However, he thinks I'm using our child to get his attention. Then, he takes his true love's son to the hospital when he's only scratched his finger. I look at my son, whose face is pale. I ask, "Do you want another father?" He nods. "Yeah. Dad doesn't like me, so I don't want to like him anymore." Later, I find him another father. That's when my husband objects.

At sixty-five, I got served divorce papers. The same day, my husband Sebastian — decked out in his wedding suit, of all things — popped a handful of sleeping pills in a suicide attempt. For years, we were the perfect couple. The kind of pair neighbors whispered about with envy. I couldn't wrap my head around it. The divorce. The pills. None of it made sense. Not until I found the photo and letter in his pocket.

As the daughter of the Shadow Pack’s Beta, I was born with power, grace, and devotion. Justin, the future Alpha of the pack, was hailed as my fated mate from the moment our paths crossed. I once believed that we were meant to be. With the Moon Goddess bringing us together through a mate bond, even death could not tear us apart. Yet, the illusion was shattered three years ago. Justin pushed me away time and again in the name of repaying an obligation to Marissa, a rogue, for saving his life. Everything that should have been ours, he gave to her, be it our home, title, and our life plans together—all because she said she wasn’t happy. By the ninety-ninth time, the debt of gratitude was finally repaid. I stood at the mating ceremony venue in my gown, filled with anticipation that he would mark me. Alas, all my waiting ended with the news that he had given Marissa a top-tier moonstone, symbolizing eternal love. In that moment, all the pain I had held back came crashing down. My wolf howled in my mind with a voice so primal and sad. For once, I didn’t silence her. I believed it was time to make room for Justin and his lifesaver.

Maverick Spencer, my husband's older brother, sacrifices himself just to save my husband from a car accident. In order to repay him for his benevolence, my husband, Mateo Spencer, decides to move his newly widowed sister-in-law, Lily Shepherd, into our home. Mateo tells me, "Maverick died saving me, so I must repay him for his benevolence. He was the most worried about Lily when he still drew breath. In order to fulfill his death wish, I must let Lily stay with us. "Lily's biggest wish is to have a child of her own. I have no choice but to sleep with her. It's to repay Maverick, you see. Don't worry, Phoebe. Once she gets pregnant, I won't touch her ever again. You're the only woman for me." But since then, Mateo pays more and more attention to Lily. At the same time, he spends less time with me. When I notice the way he looks at me icily, I feel my love for him starting to get snuffed out. The day Lily finds out that she's pregnant is the day Mateo puts half of the Spencer family's assets under her name. Even the token of love Mateo has given to me on our wedding can be seen adorning Lily's finger. At that moment, I know that it's time for me to leave.

At the full moon party before our marking ceremony, my mate Lucas got wasted. I went to pick him up, just like we agreed. Only to walk in on him burying his face in his first love’s neck, marking her with his scent. "Don't ever leave me again, Willow. My wolf only wants you." His first love shot me a triumphant smirk and shoved him into my arms. "Your mate is here. You should go." But Lucas, hiding behind his drunkenness, just looked at me with disgust. "You're the only one for me, Willow! She's just some lowly half-blood Omega. She's just my ride home, don't worry about her." I swallowed my humiliation and took him home, only to find out he wasn't drunk at all. He claimed he only said those things to appease Willow, for the sake of her pack's power. I just turned away. So on the day we were supposed to be bound for life, I ran. If Lucas was still hung up on his first love, then I would grant him his wish and disappear. But I never expected that after I left, he would lose his mind, crying and begging for me to come back.
