Toxic Relationship

Hari pertama setelah terlahir kembali, aku langsung menyelinap ke kamar sang ketua mafia, Kevin, lalu melepaskan pakaianku. Karena di kehidupan sebelumnya, aku dan putranya, Nico, adalah pasangan pernikahan politik tanpa cinta yang sangat terkenal di kalangan mafia Grimora. Nico menganggap akulah penyebab hancurnya hubungan dengan cinta pertamanya. Ia yakin bahwa saat dirinya terkena obat perangsang, akulah yang sengaja masuk ke kamarnya. Karena itu, selama delapan tahun pernikahan, setiap malam ia pergi mabuk-mabukan dan tak pernah pulang. Bahkan ketika aku mengalami persalinan sulit dan nyawaku hampir melayang, ia tak menunjukkan kepedulian sedikit pun. Hingga suatu hari badai besar melanda. Grimora diterjang gelombang badai, dan tanggul pelabuhan jebol. Hanya tersisa satu kursi di kapal evakuasi. Semua orang mengira ia akan menyelamatkan dirinya sendiri. Namun Nico justru mendorongku ke atas kapal. “Pergilah!!” “Nadine, kuserahkan kesempatan hidup ini padamu … di kehidupan selanjutnya, aku tak ingin kamu menyelamatkanku lagi. Aku hanya ingin bersama Marry.” Detik berikutnya, tubuhnya terseret ke dalam laut yang gelap. Sementara aku yang berhasil selamat, akhirnya dibunuh oleh keluarga musuh. Ia tak pernah tahu .... malam itu, yang terkena bius bukan hanya dirinya. Ayahnya, Kevin sang ketua mafia juga dibius. Saat aku melangkah masuk ke kamar, efek obatnya sudah mulai bekerja. Sang ketua mafia menekan hasrat yang menyiksa tubuhnya dengan susah payah. Kali ini, aku mendekat dan berbisik pelan, “Ketua, aku datang untuk membantumu menetralkan racunnya.”

+++✦+++ She looked up at me with those soft, damn eyes. I stepped in closer, my hand lifting before I even thought it through, and I brushed the tips of my fingers against her cheek. Warm. Delicate. Curious. I watched her mouth part slightly, her lashes lowering just a bit. "Can I kiss you?" I heard myself say. It surprised me. I don’t ask. I take. But she wasn’t like anyone else. With her, I found myself wanting permission...wanting her to want me back. She blinked, caught off guard, but something in her softened. And after a breath, she slowly nodded. I leaned in, brushing my lips over hers in a gentle and slow motion, like I was trying to memorize her taste, savoring the moment. But, that one kiss was enough to set my nerves on edge. I pulled back slightly, watching the way her cheeks turned pink, her eyes wide, her lips still parted like she hadn’t expected it to feel like that. And fuck, I hadn’t either. I leaned in again, but paused when I realized she was leaning toward me too, unconsciously. She didn’t even realize she wanted more. And this time, I didn’t ask. +++✦+++ In a city plagued by crime and violence, a young woman fights to stay hidden from her sadistic stepfather and his ruthless gang.

“You have a wife?” I exclaimed, throwing the newly ironed suit at him. He picked it up, scowling at me for wrinkling his clothing “You met Christine?” I opened and closed my mouth repeatedly, shocked by his nonchalance. “We made love!” “We fucked, Abigail, and that has nothing to do with Christine.

Augustine Knight is the man all mothers wish for their daughter! He’s nice, he’s rich, he’s beyond beautiful, and has the quality we’ve all been looking for- painfully loyal! Yeah okay maybe he’s a bit arrogant but you can hardly see that trait whenever he’s with his family and close friends because yes, you got it right, he’s a family man and a very good friend too! See, what a catch. Phew. The relationship he had with Evie, is something we all pray for our daughters to have. If you excuse the big misunderstanding, of course. Because that would make you call him a fucking pedophile. With P at the front and right in the middle. PEDO-PHILE. You can’t exactly blame the man when he asked his newly-married wife to give him back four years of his life, or forced her to cash her promise about their three (future) children. From being the lucky girlfriend of a billionaire she upped her status to ‘insanely-lucky wife of a billionaire’, but within a month it changed into being his worthless SugarBabyWife. *** Dig in if you feel like reading something that would make you mad, sad, or both. Don’t hesitate if you’re a fan of toxic relationship because I promise you, this, is the definition of ttttoxicccity. I’m the fucking mayor of this city if you’ve read Gay Sugar Daddy :)
