Twisted Games Chapter 19

Then, with deliberate slowness, he reached for a small black bottle. “I thought you would prefer the gentle way,” he murmured. “Guess I was wrong.” The poison burned down my throat—Deadly Nightshade. It was once my favorite. I had used it to end others. Now, he was using it on me. “Sometimes,” he whispered, “the person you once loved is the one who finally kills you.” ~~~~~ Brinda Virginia’s life has always been a battle—against fate, against her own fire, and against a heart that beats too weakly to match the storm inside her. Abandoned as a child and raised by the only woman who ever truly loved her, she’s now facing her biggest loss yet. Her stepmother is dying. And the clock is ticking—seventy-two hours. That’s all the time she has to save her. But then he returns. Francesco Dante. Her past. Her ruin. A man cloaked in shadows, bearing a twisted bargain—submit to him, body and soul, or lose everything. To save the only family she has left, Brinda must surrender. But submitting, in a world ruled by power, lust, and betrayal, is never truly submission. Because this man doesn’t just want to own her—he wants to unmake her, unravel her, and turn her fire to ash. And the most devastating part? She might just let him. And love, in this kind of story, always draws blood.

After my husband cheats, my relatives advise me to be tolerant and forgiving. Why? Because my husband's mistress is pregnant, and I'm infertile. Even his parents hurry to our house in the middle of the night to say, "Don't worry—we won't let that woman step foot in this house. Once she gives birth, the child will be yours." Is that so? I sneer as I look at a medical report. Perhaps the child will have something to do with me, but it definitely won't have anything to do with my husband.

"Kenapa Tuan Marco sangat baik padaku? Menuruti semua yang aku katakan, dan selalu mengatakan kalimat-kalimat manis. Apakah anda... Sebenarnya menyukai saya?" - Gisela. "Jika iya, salah? Kita adalah suami istri. Kamu harus belajar mencintaiku. Karena... Aku tidak akan melepaskanmu." - Marco. Demi membantu Lukas, lelaki yang begitu Gisela cintai, menjadi seorang Duke, Gisela mengorbankan segalanya. Namun, setelah Lukas berhasil menduduki singgah sana tertinggi di Kadipaten Elysium, Lukas malah membuang Gisela, mencampakkan Gisela layaknya sampah, seakan perjuangan Gisela selama 3 tahun, tak berharga. Hanya karena, Gisela tak berasal dari kalangan bangsawan. Tidak pantas bergelar Duchess of Elysium. Wanita berusia 23 tahun dengan nama lengkap Gisela Anne George, bahkan harus rela melihat sang pujahaan hati menikah dengan putri dari bangsawan elit, yang dulu dianggap Lukas sebagai 'Adik'. Namun, belum sempat Gisela meratapi nasibnya yang malang, seorang pria bangsawan kelas atas, bernama Eloseos Marcolande Louzy, atau yang kerap disapa Tuan Marco, seorang tentara dengan pangkat Kolonel. Mengajaknya menikah, dengan alasan ingin membantu Gisela membalas perbuatan Lukas, yang merupakan kakak Marco sendiri. Akan tetapi, Gisela juga harus membantu Marco memecahkan misteri meninggalnya kakak pertamanya yang terkesan ditutup-tutupi oleh Lukas dan ibunya. Kesepakatan pun terjalin. Keduanya menikah, meski Lukas dan ibunya sangat menentang dan membenci Gisela yang notabene hanya wanita biasa, yang tak memiliki darah bangsawan. Apakah keduanya bisa mewujudkan tujuan dari pernikahan mereka? Atau justru terlena dengan kenikmatan sebuah pernikahan, dan memilih melupakan luka mereka?

My husband has a dangerous condition - Jacob's syndrome, a rare genetic disorder where men carry an extra Y chromosome (XYY). But it's not just the genetics - he has an uncontrollable rage that turns him into a monster. It all started when I saved his life. After that, he became obsessed with me, relentlessly pursuing me for three years. He deliberately ran his car into my childhood sweetheart, leaving him permanently disabled. Then he threatened to kill my entire family unless I married him. For seven years after our marriage, his controlling behavior became pathological. He even had a tracking chip implanted in my body and completely controlled my freedom. Yet at the same time, he showered me with endless love and catered to my every wish. When my mother-in-law pointed her finger at me while speaking, he snapped it without hesitation. When my sister-in-law's child disturbed my afternoon nap, he threw them both out of the house and severed all family ties. I refused to have a child, terrified of what darkness might be passed down, so he invested his entire fortune into developing cutting-edge genetic screening technology, making it possible for me to conceive a healthy baby. But on the very day I discovered I was pregnant... My mother-in-law stormed into our home with a group of people, accusing me of having an affair and carrying another man's child. They beat me until I lost the baby. As I lay there barely clinging to life, my husband finally arrived. My mother-in-law thrust a doctored video in his face and said, "Troy! Your wife had an affair and got pregnant with another man's child. Look, here's the proof!"

"I, Tyler Xander, The Alpha of the silver moon pack, reject you, Aurora Watson as my mate and Luna of my pack!" These were the words that shattered my heart into pieces, as I replayed them over and over in my head. I watched as Tyler, my childhood crush, pulled Debbie, my enemy, closer and kissed her so hard. He never kissed me like that. Being rejected by your mate in the presence of the entire pack is more anguish than dying a slow and unbearable death. After getting rejected, I decided to find my way to become stronger in order to seek revenge against my mate, the betrayer. “You will regret everything you ever did to me,” I muttered under my breath. I promised myself that they would pay for this one day. I just knew it.

My best friend and I were in relationships with the brothers from the Wilson Family, and we both got pregnant at the same time. She flaunted her relationship publicly, making everyone in Junopia know that Rick had left the monastery for her. On the other hand, I kept silent about my relationship with the heir of the Wilson Family. Thus, everyone mistakenly thought I was single. That was until my best friend saw my pregnancy report. In a fit of rage, she rallied a group of friends, stormed into my dorm, and vandalized my room with food waste. "I thought you were my best friend, and here you are, trying to steal my man," she accused. Not only did she live-stream this accusation, trying to paint me as the other woman, but she also spiked my chicken soup, hoping to get rid of my unborn child. In defiance, I poured the contaminated soup over her head. "Just so you know, Rick isn't the only Wilson brother," I retorted. Later, Rayden, the man who controlled Junopia, wrapped his arm around me and declared icily, "I've heard troubling rumors about my wife being called a mistress. We need to talk."

"Aku benar-benar telah hidup kembali? Tu-tunggu! Kemana perginya semua pakaianku? Jika benar aku terlahir kembali kenapa aku bisa telanjang begini?!"

Pandangan matanya tiba-tiba terasa berkunang-kunang. Dania menoleh ke samping dan mendapati pria asing berbaring telanjang di sampingnya. "Kepalaku rasanya nyeri dan sakit! Pria ini, kenapa dia terlihat familiar? Sebenarnya apa yang terjadi padaku?" Pria yang dibahasnya tadi tersenyum miring lalu mencengkeram dagu Dania. "Lupakah kamu sudah meracuniku? Aku sangat jijik padamu, ternyata kamu tidak hanya memiliki tabiat buruk tapi ternyata juga sangat menjijikkan!" Dania menggelengkan kepalanya dengan panik dan cemas. Tatapan dingin dan kejam dari mata pria itu tidak diragukan lagi bahwa pria di sisinya itu bisa saja membunuhnya. Tiba-tiba ingatan tentang bagaimana mereka bisa berakhir seperti itu muncul di dalam kepalanya. Dania sungguh menyesalinya. Dia menginginkan putra mahkota untuk menjadi suaminya bukan jenderal bengis dan dingin seperti pria pemarah di ranjangnya itu!
