Sasuke Kecil Cool

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.

Ayahku bertanya siapa yang akan kupilih untuk menjadi suamiku. Setelah terlahir kembali, aku tidak memilih Ronaldo lagi. Sebaliknya, aku memilih kakak kandungnya, Evan Vittori. Ayahku terlihat bingung. Bagaimanapun juga, seluruh Chicako tahu bahwa Ronaldo dan aku adalah teman sejak kecil dan aku telah mengejarnya selama sepuluh tahun. Sebagai putri Keluarga Luchese, dari dulu, namaku telah terukir di samping namanya dalam daftar perjodohan keluarga. Semua orang yakin bahwa pernikahan kami adalah takdir yang tidak bisa dihindari. Aku tersenyum getir dan mengingat kehidupan lampauku. Aku menikahi Ronaldo sesuai keinginanku. Namun, setelah menikah, dia tidak pernah menyentuhku. Aku mengira dia menderita penyakit yang tidak bisa diungkapkannya dan berusaha sekuat tenaga untuk menutupinya. Sampai ulang tahun pernikahan kami yang ke-6, aku tidak sengaja membuka brankas di ruang kerjanya. Di dalam sana, tersimpan deretan rapi foto-fotonya bersama seorang wanita. Wanita itu adalah putri angkat yang kupaksa ayahku adopsi. Mereka bahkan punya anak haram berusia dua tahun. Di dalam foto keluarga itu, mereka bertiga terlihat sangat bahagia. Pada saat itu juga, aku baru menyadari bahwa dia tidak sakit, melainkan tidak pernah menganggapku sebagai istrinya. Untuk menyingkirkanku, dia dan adik angkatku bekerja sama untuk membunuhku. Jadi, di kehidupan ini, aku memilih untuk merestui mereka. Namun, ketika aku mengenakan gaun pengantin dan berjalan memasuki gereja dengan merangkul tangan Evan, Ronaldo yang bersenjata berlari menghampiriku seperti orang gila. "Madeline!" Suaranya terdengar sangat serak. "Kamu berani menikahinya?"

Adik iparku, Gina, bersikeras ingin berlibur ke Pantai Nirwana saat Natal, jadi aku memutuskan untuk mengajak seluruh keluarga pergi berlibur bersama. Namun, saat teman wanita suamiku mengetahui tentang rencana tersebut, dia memaksa untuk ikut dan membawa anaknya juga. Tanpa basa-basi, suamiku langsung membeli tiket pesawat. Namun, dia malah menyuruhku membawa barang-barang dan mengemudi sendiri ke sana. Semula, aku mengira seluruh keluarga akan mendukungku, tetapi ternyata mereka semua mendukung keputusan suamiku. Baiklah. Kalau begitu, kita urus urusan masing-masing saja. Namun, mereka semua menjadi ketakutan.

I was a washed-up singer, but my wife forced me to attend a divorce variety show. I tried my best to earn money for the family, but on the show, she said that I was worthless. She even got to know the son of an affluent family. She called the guy babe and went to his room whilst wearing seductive clothes. I couldn't stand it anymore and tried to stop her, but she cursed, "You're just a useless piece of garbage! You can't even afford to buy me a decent bag. I thought your earnings would improve over the years, but your earnings are still nowhere near enough. Why can't I pursue the happiness I want? Get out of my sight!"

A client splashes water in my face. I'm trembling as I endure his insults and mockery while Wayne Gale stands and watches calmly. His arm is around his assistant as he says, "I can't believe you're incapable of handling such a menial task, Georgina. My company doesn't need useless staff!" I wipe the water from my face and down my drink. Then, I fill it again and splash the client back. Whoever wants this job can have it. I quit!

I had been working as a part-time male escort for a while. My relationships with clients had always stayed strictly online. One day, I got a request from a woman who had just gone through a breakup. Her voice reminded me of a female streamer I really liked. She eagerly invited me to meet her in person. After a lot of hesitation, I agreed to it. We started talking more often, but then, she suddenly disappeared. When she showed up again, she seemed like a completely different person. After one passionate night together, I realized I was in serious trouble.

Five years of marriage, and I was finally pregnant. I couldn't wait to tell Neil—until I heard his mom say: "When are you going to tell Angela? Cece's already showing. This family needs an heir." "Just give me a little more time. I'll handle it." I froze in the doorway, the ultrasound report burning in my pocket. Neil Schmidt, your promises mean nothing.

At the award ceremony, my fiance, Allen Walter, pulled his mistress on stage and publicly announced their relationship when he presented me with an award.. "Out with the old, in with the new. Just a man," I shrugged. My parents were furious. "Pull our investments and end all cooperation," they said furiously. My sister chimed in, "We'll retrieve the copyright. I would rather let it sit idle than sell it to them!" Allen panicked and came to apologize, but I waved him off dismissively. "Someone like you is not even worth talking to."

After eighteen years of wandering alone, I looked like a tomboy covered in dirt when I was found and brought home. Just as I was about to shower, there was a loud scream in the bathroom. The fake heiress rushed out. She pushed me down before she threw herself into Mom’s arms and cried. “He… He peeped on me while I was showering. He even tried to touch me inappropriately!” Mom was furious, and Dad raised his arm to punch me. My brother was so enraged that he even wanted to throw me out! However, I was a girl! Did they forget that the child they lost was a girl?

My wife, Rochelle Willoughby, went on a business trip for five months. When I picked her up at the airport, she showed up with her true love instead. I noticed her baby bump and was about to ask some questions, but she shoved me away like I was some disgusting piece of trash. "Don't touch me with your grubby hands. I'm pregnant with Samuel's baby. If you hurt it somehow, I'll kill you!" Then, she gently held Samuel Riverson's hand. "You must be exhausted. Let's go home." She left me at the airport without so much as a glance. I saw them off and quietly rubbed the part Rochelle shoved. Then, I contacted my divorce lawyer. Ten years. This marriage finally came to an end.
