Stepping Up

Di layar besar aula pernikahan, foto prewed-ku menghilang. Yang muncul justru hasil pemeriksaan kehamilan milik asisten tunanganku. Pada bagian nama ayah, tertulis jelas nama pria yang seharusnya menjadi suamiku. Asisten itu tampak panik dan terisak sambil meminta maaf kepadaku. Sementara pria itu menjelaskan dengan wajah tenang, seolah tak terjadi apa-apa, “Dia hamil di luar nikah, hidupnya sangat menyedihkan. Jadi aku menemaninya saat periksa kehamilan dan menulis namaku. Ke depannya, aku akan tetap menjadi ayah asuh anak itu.” Tapi sebenarnya di hari yang sama, aku juga melakukan pemeriksaan kehamilan pertamaku. Para tamu mengira aku akan cemburu dan mengamuk. Namun aku hanya melepas kerudung pengantinku, lalu membuat janji pada dokter untuk menggugurkan kandunganku. “Wanita hamil tanpa suami memang menyedihkan,” ucapku datar. “Pernikahan ini memang seharusnya diberikan untuknya.” Aku lalu mengangkat gelas, tersenyum tipis, dan memberi selamat kepada mereka. “Selamat menempuh hidup baru. Menikah karena sudah terlanjur hamil.”

Dad is famous for being a total simp over Mom in the elite society. Naturally, he views Callie Archer, the stepdaughter whom Mom has brought with her, as his own. But Callie is afflicted with a severe case of walking phobia. Her feet couldn't touch the ground at all. Only when she's stepping on my back can she roam around in the house freely. So, whenever Callie looks in a certain direction, Mom will press my head down and force me to crawl toward Callie to serve as her doormat. The doctor issues a warning to my family that my spine is severely contorted. So when Callie wants to admire the flowers in the yard while wearing a pair of spiked shoes again, I can't endure the pain anymore, so I shiver slightly out of instinct. Callie ends up losing her balance and falling to the ground. She bawls like a baby afterward. Mom rushes over immediately before kicking me in the gut, her high heel lodging into my flesh. "It's extremely rare for Callie to be willing to leave the house! Why must you ruin her mood? Can't you just be more understanding and play your role as a doormat for the sake of your sister's illness?" Meanwhile, Dad scoops Callie into his arms, his heart bleeding for her plight. He coaxes her gently, telling her that he'll buy her new dresses later. I can only curl up on the ground while hacking up blood. But Dad just thinks I'm playing the pity card. He commands his men to throw me into the basement. Apparently, I can only be released once I've learned to stay stationary when I'm supporting Callie. As I clutch my broken ribs, I feel my tears flowing down my face as well as the blood from my injuries. I'm sorry, Dad. Next time, I will definitely not move a muscle, just like a corpse.

Prologue “We can’t be together,” he whispered, voice breaking. “You are my destruction.” Tears burned her eyes as she shook her head, stepping closer even though it felt like standing at the edge of a blade. “And you… are my ruin too.” The words tasted like a goodbye neither of them could accept. They were bound by something older than choice, older than mercy. A curse carved into blood and grief, waiting patiently for the moment they would finally meet. They were never meant to love safely. And if they ever surrendered to it— One would die. The other would be destroyed by love. The curse waited patiently. And destiny, cruel and inevitable, had already begun to pull them closer.
