Tras 99 Perdones

In den nördlichen Werwolfklans gilt eine uralte Regel: Ein Alpha-Erbe darf niemals eine Verbindung mit einem menschlichen Mädchen eingehen. Doch Alpha Kellan Wolfe brach das Tabu – band mit mir eine Gefährtenverbindung. Um mit mir zusammen sein zu können, lehnte er sich offen gegen den Ältestenrat auf, erlitt 99 Peitschenhiebe und wurde drei Tage und Nächte vor dem Altar kniend bestraft. Als sein Hemd blutgetränkt war, lächelte er mich an und flüsterte: „Aelis, hab keine Angst. Ich will nur dich.“ Schließlich willigten die Ältesten ein, dass er mit mir fortgehen durfte – doch nur unter der Bedingung, dass er dem Rudel einen reinblütigen Erben hinterlassen müsse. Seitdem war „Warte“ das Wort, das Kellan am häufigsten zu mir sagte. Das erste Mal bat er mich zu warten, bis eine andere Wölfin von ihm schwanger würde. Also schlief er 33 Mal mit Josepha, bis sie schließlich sein Kind erwartete. Beim zweiten Mal hieß es erneut warten, denn es war eine Tochter – die Ältesten verlangten jedoch einen Sohn. Also schlief er weitere 99 Mal mit Josepha, bis sie wieder schwanger war. Als ich dachte, die Qual sei endlich vorbei, fraß ihre frisch gevierte Tochter plötzlich Eisenhut. Sofort bezichtigten mich alle der Tat. Als ich in die Kühlzelle bei minus zwanzig Grad gestoßen wurde, stand Kellan mit glutroten Augen in der Tür. „Ich sagte doch, warte noch...“ Sein Blick war eiskalt. „Du weißt, was Eisenhut für uns bedeutet. Warum wolltest du mein Kind töten?“ Ach ja ... sein Kind. Mein Herz schrie auf, als riss es mir jemand aus der Brust, während meine Nägel in die Handflächen bohrten. Als sich die Kühlzellentür abermals öffnete, lockerte ich meine blutverschmierten Hände. Diesmal wartete ich nicht länger.

Aku sudah delapan tahun menikah dengan suamiku, Rangga. Selama itu, dia sudah membawa pulang 99 wanita lain ke rumah. Sekarang, aku menatap gadis muda yang ke-100 di depanku. Dia menatapku dengan menantang, lalu menoleh dan bertanya, "Pak Rangga, ini istrimu yang nggak berguna itu ya?" Rangga bersandar santai di kursinya sembari menjawab, "Ya." Gadis muda itu berjalan ke arahku dan menepuk pipiku, lalu berkata sambil tersenyum, "Malam ini, dengarkan baik-baik gimana jadi wanita yang hebat!" Malam itu, aku terpaksa duduk di ruang tamu mendengarkan suara erangan dari kamar sampai fajar menyingsing. Pagi harinya, Rangga menyuruhku menyiapkan sarapan seperti biasa. Aku menolak. Sepertinya dia lupa, pernikahan kami hanya pernikahan kontrak. Dan hari ini, adalah tiga hari terakhir sebelum kontrak itu berakhir.

Stefan Wyatt adalah seorang yang berkepribadian tipe Alpha sepenuhnya. Memiliki.karkater yang sadar dan paham atas apa yang dia inginkan tidak mengizinkan orang lain mendikte atau mengatakan apa yang bisa dan tak bisa ia lakukan dalam hidup. Cinta bagi Stefan adalah 99% tentang uang. Wanita-wanita yang mengejarnya hanya bernilaikan seperti sebuah kurs mata uang yang bisa naik dan turun. Jika Stefan masih menginginkannya maka wanita tersebut masih bisa bertahan di sisi Stefan. Jika Stefan sudah tidak menginginkannya maka Stefan dengan mudah akan membuangnya. Audrey Smith, wanita mandiri yang terbuang dari keluarganya, tak pernah menyangka akan terjerat dalam cengkraman Stefan karena percintaan satu malam yang terjadi secara tak terduga. Akankah kehadiran Audrey bisa mengubah segala karakter Alpha Stefan yang selalu ingin mendominasi dalam hal apapun.

Suami CEO-ku berjanji padaku bahwa dia hanya akan mengabulkan 99 permintaan untuk mantan kekasih pertamanya yang terluka dan kehilangan ingatan. Namun, ketika aku selesai menghitung hingga permintaan yang ke-99 dalam hati, aku melihat suamiku berpelukan mesra dengan mantan kekasih pertamanya. Setelah itu, aku tidak lagi membuat keributan, membiarkannya merawat mantan kekasih pertamanya. Aku hanya meminta sebuah gelang kaki bayi darinya, sebagai kenang-kenangan untuk anak kami yang akan segera lahir. Ketika membicarakan tentang anak, ekspresi pria itu sedikit melunak. "Tunggu aku menyelesaikan urusanku. Nanti kita akan pergi ke toko perlengkapan ibu dan bayi untuk memilih barang-barang bersama." Aku dengan patuh menjawab, "Baiklah." Aku tidak memberitahunya bahwa seminggu yang lalu aku sudah meminta pengacara menyiapkan surat cerai. Pada saat ini, kami sudah selesai.

Eu e meu marido, Bernardo Santos, estamos casados há oito anos. Durante esse tempo, ele trouxe 99 mulheres pra casa. Agora, estou olhando pra centésima garota. Ela me encara com provocação e, virando-se pra ele, pergunta: — Sr. Bernardo, é essa aqui sua esposa inútil? Bernardo, jogado na cadeira, responde com preguiça: — É ela, sim. A garota caminha até mim, dá um tapinha no meu rosto e diz com um sorriso: — Hoje à noite, você vai ouvir o que é uma mulher de verdade na cama! Naquela noite, fui obrigada a passar horas na sala ouvindo gemidos. Na manhã seguinte, Bernardo, como sempre, mandou que eu fizesse o café da manhã. Mas dessa vez, eu recusei. Ele parece ter esquecido que nosso casamento é só um acordo. E hoje faltam três dias pra esse acordo acabar.

It's been five years since I started trying to win over Zachary Pierce. I even went so far as to have a child through IVF, hoping it would finally make him care. But no matter what I do, I can never reach 100 percent affection from him. It always stays at 99 percent. Sometimes it even drops lower. One day, exhausted and aching, I go looking for him. As I reach his room, I hear laughter coming from inside. "She still hasn't figured out the egg wasn't even hers. The moment the baby was born, Zach's affection score for her dropped to zero." "So what if she finds out? She should be grateful that her face looks so much like Yvonne's. Honestly, I'm done entertaining her. It's exhausting." At that moment, everything clicks. All the hope I've held onto, every sacrifice I've made, they were all just a joke. I turn away and say to the system, "End this for me. Send me to another world."

立花泰成（たちばなたいせい）が99回目の浮気をした後、川口陽菜（かわぐちはるな）はついにこの結婚を諦める決心をした。 彼女は凛とした態度で、スポットライトの下に立ち、口元に笑みを浮かべていたが、心は冷え切っていた。 結婚して3年、これは夫の浮気疑惑を99回目に釈明する場だった。 「立花夫人、本当にご主人が浮気していないと信じているのですか？」 陽菜の笑みが一瞬固まった。もちろん信じてなどいなかった。だが、泰成を諦めきれず、これまで何度も彼を許し、甘やかしてきた。ただ、今回はもう、これ以上続ける気にはなれなかった。 「私は、今までと同じように、夫を信じています。どうかくだらないことに労力を割くのはおやめください」 泰成は有名な司会者であり、大金持ちの投資家でもあった。メディアにスキャンダル写真を撮られるたび、陽菜が否定するのが常で、その決まり文句は、もはやメディアにも暗記されているほどだった。

I've been mated to Alpha Damon for five years. I helped him build a business empire, but he kept delaying our marking ceremony 99 times. Right before the ceremony was supposed to happen, he told me the pack’s resources were tight. He demanded I stop the expansion of the Alpha’s manor and scrapped the nursery I’d designed for our future pups. Then he turned around and bought a thirty-million-dollar penthouse for Isabella, a new omega in our pack. When Isabella and I were in a car crash at the same time, he didn't even glance my way. He ran straight to her. He wrapped her in his Alpha scent, holding her tight. Their scents mingling was like a knife to my heart. In the pack council hall, in front of all the Elders, I looked at him with ice in my eyes. "I, Elena, reject you, Damon, as my mate." Through the gut-wrenching pain of the mate bond snapping, I sent a message to the Alpha of another pack. "I rejected him. I'll be at your Crescent Moon Pack tomorrow."

It has been 99 times that Henry and I have filed the application for divorce and then withdrawn it. Each time before finalizing the divorce, Henry always waits for me to humbly beg him to stay married. I turned down the offer to be the chief composer at a famous studio in Vienna because Henry didn't want a long-distance relationship. I deleted all my male friends because Henry didn't want me to be too friendly to them. I stopped wearing red lipstick, composing, and traveling alone, because he said married women should stay at home instead of being impulsive. Only after I finally manage to appease him will he allow me to withdraw the divorce application. After my 100th divorce application, as I was leaving, the deputy clerk asked me curiously: "So, when are you going to withdraw your application this time?" I looked at Henry's cold back in front of me, forced to smile with tears, and told myself in my heart— This time, there will be no withdrawal of the application. After the 30-day cooling-off period, we'll be officially divorced. But why did his love only find its voice when I had already walked away?

My mother-in-law, Teresa Hawke, said she was trapped inside her burning villa. I called my husband, Asher Jensen, begging him to save her. But he was too busy at some bar, flirting with his childhood sweetheart, Melanie Lanner. It wasn't until I begged him, over and over, that he finally went to save Teresa. But Melanie was snatched from that same bar, tortured, killed, and dumped. He acted like none of it mattered until I got pregnant. Then out of nowhere, he threw it all back on me, saying it was my fault. Asher pulled every string he could to bankrupt my family, driving Mom and Dad to leap to their deaths. Then he rounded up a gang of violent psychopaths and threw me in with them. I begged again and again, but he just watched me with that dead stare. "You'll suffer like Mel did before she died! She left this world in agony. Why should you get to live? That's not fair." 99 stab wounds—that was how many it took before I finally bled out and died. And then, I woke up, right back on the day Teresa screamed for help from inside that burning villa.
