Ua Sports Festival

My fiance's precious childhood crush, Amber Sweeney, was in a political union with the infamous Julian Grant, heir to the Grant family empire and a notorious playboy. Unable to stand the thought of Amber being "sacrificed", Ryan Carter barged into her wedding to stop it. They registered their marriage that day, making headlines across the city. The whole of D.C.'s elite waited to watch me and the Grant family become the city's biggest joke. What they didn't expect was that on the very next day, Julian would roll up to my company in his high-key sports car, leaning against the hood like he had all the time in the world. "Your fiance stole my bride. You'll be repaying that debt by marrying me. Fair trade, right?" I stared at his blazing red hair and wild grin, and smiled back coolly. "Sounds fair to me."

I used to be that girl in the mafia—envied, untouchable. Orlando Leone, the big bad Don everyone feared, had eyes only for me. I took a bullet for him. After that? People whispered I couldn't have kids. He tried to shut them up by knocking me up—ninety-nine tries. Try number ten? His shiny new secretary texted, all confused over a decimal. He bailed on me. By thirty, she crashed his sports car while shopping. Claimed she couldn't park. I was left freezing in a bathtub. He said he loved me, but when it counted, he always picked the girl who played dumb and helpless. That's when it hit me—his love was never really mine. And by the time I disappeared for real, he lost his mind looking. Too bad. Me and that promise? Already buried at sea.

She refuses to listen to my explanation. She pours dirty water all over me before slapping me in public and stripping me. Then, she brands me with an insult. By the time my brother arrives, I'm tormented beyond recognition. "I can explain, Spencer! I thought you were lying when you said she was your sister!"

Pada hari Festival Perahu Naga, suamiku yang berprofesi sebagai direktur rumah sakit lagi-lagi berkata bahwa dia mendapat beberapa jadwal operasi darurat. Jadi, dia tidak bisa ikut pergi mengunjungi orang tuaku. Namun, ketika aku membuka Instagram beberapa saat kemudian, aku melihatnya sedang menyembelih kambing untuk pesta di desa asistennya. Keterangan di konten itu berbunyi sebagai berikut. [ Ibu bilang punya menantu seorang dokter memang menyenangkan, menyembelih kambing pun begitu cekatan. ] Aku hanya mendengus dan menekan tombol like, lalu menuliskan komentar. [ Namanya juga profesional. ] Para rekan kerjaku heboh di setiap grup. Semuanya mengira kali ini aku akan mengamuk pada suamiku. Suamiku langsung menelepon. Aku bisa membayangkan dia sedang mengernyit dengan ekspresi tak sabar di wajahnya sekarang. Andy berkata, "Ini hari penting di desa Nikki. Aku hanya datang untuk membantu mereka. Apa maksudmu sindir-sindir begitu? Nggak ada laki-laki di keluarganya yang bisa membantu dalam acara besar seperti ini. Aku hanya bantu-bantu, apa yang perlu kamu ributkan?" "Cepat hapus like dan komentarmu, jangan buat Nikki canggung di rumah sakit. Kamu dengar, 'kan? Setelah pulang nanti, aku baru luangkan waktu untuk menemanimu pulang kampung, oke?" tambahnya lagi. Selalu alasan yang sama. Andy berulang kali memberiku janji-janji kosong. Kali ini, aku sudah muak dan habis kesabaran. Setelah hari Festival Perahu Naga berlalu dan surat cerai didapatkan, pernikahan kami selama tujuh tahun pun akan berakhir sepenuhnya.
