Status Kopi

On the day we were supposed to get engaged, my fiance, Christopher Vittorino, slid the ring—that was supposed to be mine—onto Lina Sorenzo, my stepsister's finger, right in front of the entire family. Christopher's uncle, Don Mark Vittorino, was the one who had specifically ordered his subordinates to deliver the ring that symbolizes the wearer's status as the future Donna of the Vittorino family to Christopher himself. I could only stare at Christopher's deep blue eyes in disbelief. Just as I was about to question him, he just gazed at me with a stony expression. Even his tone was cold and rigid. "The Don intends to send me to Maravena for the next five years to develop my own business there. Once I return, I'll take over the family business. "You don't have any skills at all, Isla. If you stay with me, you'll just be a hindrance to me and cause me unwanted trouble. "Lina, on the other hand, is fluent in Maravenese. Not to mention, she knows how to expand the family business overseas. She will serve as a brilliant assistant for me." After that, Christopher took Lina's hand and left the venue with her, not caring about the fact that the leaders of the other branch families as well as the elders kept murmuring among themselves. Because of that, I ended up becoming the laughingstock of the entire family. Five years later, Christopher and Lina return to the country. When he spots me showing up at a family gathering held by Mark with a ruby ring that signifies my status as the Donna on my finger, his expression changes instantly. "I can't believe you learned to steal, Isla!" I just ignore Christopher's accusations in favor of looking for the Black Rose Medal that my son, Toby Vittorino, has lost. That medal is a gift he received on his fourth birthday from Mark. Poor Toby has been sobbing for a long time because of its disappearance. I need to hurry up and find it as soon as possible.

“Ma’am, there’s no marriage record between you and Mr. Mark Henderson in the system.” My fingers tightened around the pregnancy report as my legs nearly gave out beneath me. Five years ago, Mark was recruited by a top law firm abroad with a high-paying offer. Without hesitation, I followed him across the ocean. He had told me, “Once I’m settled, I’ll take care of your status.” However, five years had passed, and my lawful permanent residence was still “in process.” Meanwhile, his assistant, Tonya Irving, who followed him abroad, had secured hers under his sponsorship. Back then, I made a scene, insisting on a divorce so I could return home. For the first time, the ever-composed Mark, an attorney, lost his calm. He grabbed my hand and said, “Tonya’s all alone out here, and it hasn’t been easy for her. Helping her is just the right thing to do. You’re my wife. Your status is only a matter of time. My work is sensitive right now, and I need to avoid any complications. You understand, don’t you?” But I had understood him for five whole years. My phone suddenly rang. Mark’s voice came through, light with laughter. “Tonya’s permanent residence was approved today. We’re celebrating tonight. I need you to get home early and cook up a feast.” I stared at the marriage license in my hand—now nothing more than a worthless piece of paper. A cold chill spread down my spine. As it turned out, I was never his legal wife. I had no legal status and no protection, much less rights secured for the child I was carrying. After hanging up, I scheduled an abortion and booked the earliest flight home. This time, I wouldn’t look back.

Malam ketika Adriel diangkat menjadi bos Keluarga Mahendra, aku memberinya keperawananku. Dia adalah pewaris yang sudah dijodohkan denganku bahkan sebelum aku bisa bicara. Kami berciuman di depan jendela besar yang menjulang dari lantai sampai langit-langit, tubuh kami saling terjerat dalam panas lembap senja itu. Sentuhannya yang kasar dan tergesa-gesa membuatku sakit, tapi aku tidak menjauh. Bahkan rasa sakit itu terasa suci, seperti pengorbanan yang rela aku lakukan demi cinta. Tenggelam dalam panasnya momen itu, dia berjanji akan memberiku sepasang sepatu kristal paling indah, supaya aku bisa berdansa waltz pembuka bersamanya di upacara penobatannya keesokan hari. Tarian pertama selalu dipersembahkan untuk bos baru dan calon pengantinnya. Aku menangis bahagia, yakin bahwa tahun-tahun penantian diam-diamku akhirnya akan berakhir seperti dongeng. Tapi aku salah. Teramat salah. Keesokan paginya, aku memaksa tubuhku yang masih nyeri untuk keluar membeli ekspresso kesukaannya. Saat aku kembali, aku mendengar para lelaki bercanda. "Jadi kamu akhirnya tidur dengannya? Bagaimana rasanya bersama Vivian di malam pertamamu sebagai bos?" Suara Adriel terdengar malas penuh ejekan. "Wajahnya seperti malaikat, tubuhnya seperti iblis. Di ranjang, dia benar-benar seperti ular kecil yang menggoda." Ruangan itu langsung riuh oleh siulan-siulan genit. "Jadi, kamu benar-benar akan menikahinya, Bos Muda?" "Serius kamu pikir begitu?" Adriel mencibir. "Vivian cuma pemanasan. Setelah aku cukup berlatih, aku akan menaklukkan si putri es Keluarga Santoso. Kalau nanti aku bosan, aku selalu bisa kembali padanya dan menikahinya." Aku berdiri terpaku di ambang pintu, pandanganku mulai kabur, cangkir kopi di tanganku bergetar. Sebelum dunia gelap di mataku, aku sempat mengirim pesan sandi untuk Bos Indra Wijaya. [Om Indra, untuk promosi yang akan berlangsung tiga hari lagi, tolong pindahkan aku. Sejauh mungkin dari Adriel.]

The rogue's are the only ones who know a way to steal the scent of others, and when a mysterious rogue stranger offers to help me get my scent back, my world tumbles.

The year I was at my poorest, I impersonated my sister to take care of her blind fiancé in exchange for one hundred thousand dollars. On the day he regained his sight, I left without a word. When we met again, it was during a business interview. I was a nameless intern reporter. He had returned to his rightful status as the heir of the influential Hughes family. During the interview, the host asked, "We’ve heard that during your illness, your fiancée, Miss Dawson, stayed by your side through thick and thin. The two of you are about to get married?" He lifted his hand slightly, revealing a ring, and his lips curled into a faint smile. "Yes, we’re getting engaged soon." Yet, his gaze, through the lens of his glasses, landed—intentionally or not—on me, standing in the corner.
