Tanggal Kematian Left Eye

My father adopted Seraphina, the daughter of an Omega servant who died trying to save us. In less than a year with the Blackwood family, she became everyone's precious darling.

To force me to hand over my research to Sera, Damien—my childhood sweetheart and future mate—even threatened to cancel our mating ceremony. However, when I stopped fighting with Sera and left home forever, they went crazy.

"Tapi, Ayah, hari ini juga ulang tahunku. Ini terakhir kalinya, Ayah. Bisa nggak Ayah mengucapkan selamat ulang tahun untukku?" "Kamu benar-benar nggak punya hati! Karena ulang tahun, kamu membunuh ibumu! Kamu masih mau merayakan ulang tahun? Kenapa kamu nggak mati saja?" Usai berbicara, dia langsung mematikan panggilan. Keesokan hari, jenazahku ditempatkan di pot bunga depan kantor polisi. Ayah bertanggung jawab atas otopsi. Dia bisa melihat bahwa pembunuhnya sangat kejam dan tidak takut pada polisi.

On my wedding day, the first love of my boyfriend appeared and declared she wanted my place at the altar. Sobbing theatrically, she pleaded, "Claire, I’m seriously ill. You have your whole life to be with Evan. Just let me have this wedding." And my boyfriend backed her up without hesitation. "Claire, you’re already pregnant with my child, and we’ve signed the marriage papers. You’ve got everything you need. This wedding? It doesn’t matter." The guests gawked, while I stood there as the punchline of their jokes. But instead of causing a scene, I kept my composure. That same day, I booked an abortion and looked his first love straight in the eye with a smile. "Sure, take the wedding, and take him too. He’s all yours."
