Villa Angker Puncak

In the third year of our marriage, my wife’s ex-boyfriend of eight years suddenly posted a picture on social media showing off a multi-million-dollar wedding house. His caption read: “Wow, got myself a huge villa, I’m the master of charming women!” I stared in shock at the picture, which showed my wife swiping her card at a sales office, and left a single comment: "?" A second later, my wife called to scold me. “I was just fulfilling a promise I made to him back when we were dating, buying him a house. Why are you getting mad at him?” “What? Are you really going to be so vicious as to force me to break my word?” That evening, her ex showed off another lavish post, this time flaunting a renovation bill worth hundreds of thousands. I knew it was a gift from my wife to please him. But by then, I no longer cared.

Azar Khaled, 29 ans, est l’attaquant-star de l’Olympique de Marseille. Icône du football français, capitaine adulé et machine à buts, il incarne la ville sur les terrains du Vélodrome comme dans les campagnes de pub de luxe. Il est beau, riche, puissant. Entouré de gardes du corps, de sponsors et de femmes sublimes, il vit dans une villa ultramoderne sur les hauteurs, loin du bruit, loin du réel. Mais Azar s’ennuie. Derrière les flashs et les trophées, il étouffe. Tout le monde l’admire, mais plus personne ne l’atteint. Jusqu’à elle. Leyna Dias, 20 ans, vit à l’opposé de ce monde. Une cité bétonnée du 13e arrondissement. Une mère malade, deux petits frères à charge. Serveuse dans un bar à chicha, elle enchaîne les petits boulots pour survivre. Elle rêve en cachette d’un autre avenir mais elle a appris à ne rien attendre. Surtout pas d’un homme comme lui. Ils n’auraient jamais dû se croiser. Mais une nuit, Leyna est engagée comme hôtesse lors d’une soirée privée organisée pour les partenaires de l’OM, dans une villa de luxe sur la Corniche. Robe louée. Badge provisoire. Interdiction de parler aux invités. Elle le voit. Et lui, il la repère immédiatement. Pas pour son physique il a vu défiler toutes les formes de beauté. Mais pour ce qu’elle refuse de donner. Son regard, calme et fiévreux. Sa façon d’être là sans chercher à séduire. Elle ne joue pas. Elle ne ment pas. Il ne sait pas pourquoi, mais il la veut.

Everyone in Salt City knew that Michael, the city’s richest man, doted on his wife as if his life depended on it. As his wife, I was once the object of everyone’s envy. But when Rachel appeared, I realized for the first time that even the one who loved you the most did not have their heart set in stone. Afraid I would find out, he hid Rachel in a villa on the outskirts of Salt City and spoiled her beyond imagination, all in a place I could not see. Yet every time he was intimate with her, Michael would still warn her coldly, “If you ever let Evelyn find out about this, your good days will be over.” But she was never obedient. Relying on Michael’s favor, she surreptitiously flaunted herself before me every day. Her presence constantly reminded me that Michael was no longer the man who only had me in his heart. So, I chose to respect his decision and vanish from his sight.

My wife, Rosalind Judd, has been tearing up our marriage certificate 99 times in the past ten years of our marriage. This is her usual tactic to make me apologize and make amends. The first time, I transfer 100 thousand dollars for Rosalind to come back from her travel abroad with her childhood friend, Jackson Lane. The tenth time, she ruins the anniversary I have prepared meticulously and forces me to immediately help him get back to work. The 50th time, she humiliates me in front of my client during the day and forces me to sign over the transfer agreement to a villa at night, while she has a candlelit dinner with Jackson. ... Now, for the 100th time, she forces me to transfer my company shares. Staring at the love bites on Rosalind's collarbone, I suddenly chuckle. Then, I board the plane decisively. This time, I no longer want her.

🏆[No.1 "Hard to Put Down" of "The Legendary Urban Man" Contest]🏆 A wife who thinks with her vagina and thinks the worst of her husband, a mother-in-law who twists words for her own benefit, a father-in-law who’s a multi-millionaire but is stingier than a beggar, and many more in-laws who can spew empty words much better than any popular politician out there. And there’s rarely anything they all ever agree on, except when it comes to mocking their one and only son-in-law to the point they put the workers in their villa above him. They take out all their frustrations on him and humiliate him to the bone and beyond at every possible opportunity. However, like the inevitable judgment day, the day their reality turns upside down inches closer, the same day when the wife’s ego gets eaten and the in-laws' faces turn ashen as a newborn calf’s first poop, and that’s just the start of a savvy show.

Sa murang edad ni Clariza ay natutunan nyang umibig. Subalit ang una niyang pag-big ay hindi katulad ng pangkaraniwan sapagkat hindi niya nakita si Joseph. Sa pamamagitan lamang ng text sila nag-usap at sa ganoong paraan niya ito minahal. Nagpakilala si Joseph kay Clariza bilang pump attendant ng isang gasoline station. Lingid sa kaalaman ng dalaga na nag-iisang tagapagmana ang binata ng pamilya Villa Fuente at Monreal. Itinago ng binata ang kanyang estado sa buhay upang sukatin ang pag-ibig sa kanya ng dalaga. Naging tapat naman ang pag-iibigan nila pero isang araw ay nagbago iyong lahat. Dahil sa isang mabigat na dahilan ay nakipaghiwalay si Joseph kay Clariza. Labis na ikinadurog ng puso ng dalaga ang biglaang pakikipaghiwalay sa kanya ni Joseph. Mula noon ay nangako si Clariza sa sarili niya na hindi na siya iibig pang muli. Mabilis na lumipas ang sampung taon. Lingid sa kaalaman ni Clariza ay matagal na siyang nagtatrabaho sa lalaking nanakit sa kanya. Si Engr. Joseph Kristian Monreal Villa Fuente. Isang kilalang inhinyero at isang multi-billionaire. Tatlong taon siyang hindi umuwi sa Pilipinas dahil sa kagagawan ni Venus, ang babaeng sumira ng maganda nilang relasyon ni Clariz. Sa kanyang pagbabalik sa Pilipinas ay dumeretso siya sa resort na pag-aari niya. Nakilala niya nang personal ang supervisor na laging ipinagmamalaki sa kanya ng kanyang assistant. Sa unang pagtatama ng paningin nila Joseph at Clariza at sa simpleng ngiti ng dalaga ay agad na nahumaling ang binata. Dala ng kuryusidad ay natuklasan ng binata na ang babaeng napupusuhan niya ay siya rin ang babaeng iniwan at sinaktan niya sampung taon na ang nakalipas. Pano makukuhang muli ni Joseph ang puso ni Clariza? May pangalawang pagkakataon pa ba ang kanilang magmamahalan gayong hindi na handang muling umibig ang dalaga?
