The Shanley Hotel

Isang linggo bago ang kasal ni Sandra, nagdesisyon siyang sulitin ang pagiging dalaga kaya uminom siya sa isang bar.

Mas lalo siyang nagulantang nang maaktohan siya ng fiancé sa loob ng silid na iyon, kasama ang ibang lalaki na tanging kumot lang ang nakatakip sa kapwa hubad na katawan.

"Sir, the divorce agreement from the safe." On their fifth wedding anniversary, in a dimly-lit restaurant, Xavier Hampton's secretary placed the divorce papers in front of him. Five years ago, on the day Elizabeth Eaton and he registered their marriage— She had loved him deeply. So deeply that she had prepared the divorce agreement in advance, signed her name, and locked it away in the safe. If she ever betrayed him, all he had to do was sign. Xavier picked up the pen and swiftly signed his name. Across from him, the empty seat seemed heavier than any presence. His gaze dimmed. "Send the divorce papers to Attorney Harvey," he said, his voice calm, almost detached. "Then book a hotel and have the wedding venue set up in advance." The secretary hesitated for a moment before carefully asking, "Whose names should I write as the bride and groom?" "Elizabeth Eaton and Connor Walker."

“Did I really sleep with my boss?” That’s the first thing that hits me when I walk into Sterling Company….and see the man who shared my hotel room, played strip poker with me, and gave me the hottest night of my life. Alexander Sterling. CEO. Untouchable. Acting like he doesn’t know me. Fine. I can play that game. Until he hands me a marriage contract. Six months. No feelings. A huge payout.

Baru setelah sebulan menemani selingkuhannya keluar negeri untuk melepas penat dan sama sekali tidak menerima kabar dariku, barulah sang pacar menyadari ada sesuatu yang tidak beres. Di sela-sela kesibukannya, dia menelepon sekretarisnya. “Bagaimana pemulihan luka di kaki Celine? Aku mengambil kulitnya untuk cangkok kulit Gwen, dia nggak menyalahkanku, ‘kan?” Orang di balik telepon terdiam cukup lama, lalu dengan suara pelan menjawab, “Nona Celine sudah mengurus prosedur keluar dari rumah sakit sebulan lalu dan sudah pergi meninggalkan Keluarga Vier.” Mendengar itu, dia baru teringat hari runtuhnya hotel waktu itu. Saat itu dirinya reflek memeluk Gwen ke dalam pelukannya dan tatapan mataku terasa begitu putus asa, tapi juga tegas. Bukan tatapan kesedihan, melainkan sebuah perpisahan.

This Thanksgiving, Elmer Fuller finally agrees to go on a trip with me. But when I wake up in the hotel, I don't see him anywhere. I spend the entire day desperately searching for him, only to stumble across a social media post from his first love. It's a selfie of her and Elmer having a cozy family dinner with her parents. The caption reads, "Someone's finally meeting the parents on Thanksgiving night. Mom and Dad can stop pressuring me to get married now!" Around her neck is the scarf my mother knitted for me before she passed. I left a comment. "Stop using my things to flirt with my husband. Take the scarf off—you can have him." Not long after, she posts an update. The scarf is shredded into pieces and tossed into a dog bed, with the caption, "What trash—too filthy even for a dog!" Elmer likes the post.
