Scene From A Marriage

I've been married to Elliot Graves, the mafia drug lord in NYC, for the past eight years. But today—on our wedding anniversary—I received a photo of him with my best friend, Lila, celebrating as if they were the ones married. And in her arms was my son, Owen. I stared at the image, then typed out two words in reply. “How perfect.” Half a hour later, Elliot stormed through the front door. His voice thundered through the hallway. “Why do you always have to be so bitchy to Lila?” Owen, my own little boy, shoved at my leg and glared. “Bad Momma,” he said. “I wish Miss Lila was my real mommy.” I didn’t flinch. I simply walked over to the drawer, pulled out the crisp stack of papers I’d long prepared, and dropped them on the table with a quiet finality. “Alright,” I said, my voice calm. “It’s all my fault. Now, can I go?”

My mate-to-be, Ethan, said he had some urgent work come up right before our planned full moon trip. He bailed. I was missing him like crazy, so I immediately drove for over ten hours to his city. I hadn’t told Ethan I was coming. There I was, flowers in hand, standing outside his mansion, ready to give my destined mate a sweet surprise. But then I caught the mixed scent of Ethan and another female werewolf. The scent was sickeningly familiar. Amber Collins. Ethan’s ex-mate. I fought back the burn in my nose, my eyes already red, and pushed the door open. And what did I see? Them, sharing a glass of red wine, cuddled up, practically on top of each other. When Ethan finally noticed me, he jerked his arm away from Amber, walked stiffly over, his voice laced with panic. "Scarlett, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

Demi menghidupi keluarganya, Kiara rela menyibukkan dirinya untuk bekerja. Usianya sudah hampir menginjak kepala 3. Namun dia sama sekali belum berkeinginan untuk menikah. Gunjingan dari orang-orang sekitar sudah sering dia dengarkan. Tapi tidak ada yang dia pedulikan. Hingga, dia terjebak pada suatu kejadian yang membuat banyak orang salah paham terhadap dia. "errghhh .... Aduuhh, Pakkk," erangku dengan mata sedikit terpejam. Himpitan di kakiku membuat luka yang menganga semakin sakit. Aku menggigit bibir bawahku, jemari di tanganku mencengkeram kursi. Jika bukan karena sedang berada di kantor, tentu saat ini aku pasti sedang menangis. 'brakkkk' Aku pintu ruangan tiba-tiba terbuka. "Apa-apaan ini? Apa yang sebenarnya sedang kalian lakukan di kantor saya, HAH?" Setelah pintu ruangan terbuka, Pak Hans, selaku pemilik perusahaan masuk dengan muka yang merah padam. Merasa berada pada situasi yang tidak aman, badanku mendadak terasa dingin dan juga sedikit begetar. Apalagi, saat ini posisi muka anaknya menempel tepat di tengah-tengah kedua pahaku, sedangkan telapak tangan kanannya tidak sengaja berada di atas bukit kembarku. "Ma-Maaf, Pak. Semua tidaklah seperti apa yang Bapak pikirkan," jelasku dengan suara agak gemetar. "Tidak seperti yang saya bayangkan? Setelah saya melihat dengan mata kepala saya sendiri kalau kalian melakukan tindakan asusila di kantor saya, kalian masih bisa membela diri dan berkata bahwa kalian tidak melakukan apapun? Ck, kalian pikir mata saya buta!" "Pak ... Tapi kami tidak melakukan apapun." "DIAM, JANGAN ADA YANG BICARA LAGI SELAIN SAYA! Dan kalian ..."
