Villainess 99

She belongs to a wolf. She's married to the hunter. To the world, Elira Malven is the villainess who stole a princess's betrothed—the legendary war hero, Kael Rennar. But her gilded marriage is a cage, and her perfect smile a mask for a soul going numb. Until Thane. A single touch in a dusty library awakens a primal bond she never knew existed. He is her mate, the other half of her wolf-blooded soul. But the bond awakens too late. She is already bound to Kael, who has returned from battle not just as a husband, but as a Wolfhunter—the sworn enemy of her kind. Now, Elira must choose: remain the perfect wife to the man born to destroy her, or risk everything for a love that could get them both killed.

My wife and I were both liars. She lied to me 99 times. "I'll forget all about him, I swear." That man was her first love. She never did forget about him. I only lied to her one time. To get her to sign the divorce papers. Time came to the final day of the cooling-off period. Three hours before it was up, I packed up all my stuff and bought a flight ticket to another country. Two hours before it was up, I cut up all my photos that had her in it, leaving only myself. One hour before it was up, I placed the divorce papers on the table. When she saw the papers, they drove her mad.

The Northern Pack had one unbreakable rule: the Alpha heir could never bond with a human girl. Despite that, Alpha Kieran Wolfe still formed a mate bond with me. To be with me, he openly defied the Elders' Council. He endured 99 lashes and was forced to kneel at the altar for three days and nights. Even as blood soaked through his shirt, he smiled at me and said, "Elise, don't be afraid. I only want you." Eventually, the Elders' Council finally relented and agreed to let Kieran leave with me. However, there was one condition: he had to leave a pure-blood heir behind for the Pack. From that moment on, the phrase I heard most from Kieran was "wait". The first time, Kieran asked me to wait while he got another she-wolf to carry his pup. He slept with Cecelia Donati 33 times until she was carrying his pup. The second time, he told me to wait again because the first pup was a female, and the Elders wanted a male. So, Kieran slept with Cecelia 99 more times until she was carrying his pup again. Just when I thought our ordeal was finally over, their daughter, Tyra Wolfe, accidentally ate wolfsbane at her Meet the Pup Party. Everyone was convinced I had poisoned her. When they threw me into the freezing cold storage room, Kieran stood at the doorway with bloodshot eyes. "I told you to wait..." His gaze was ice-cold and cutting. "You know what wolfsbane means to our kind. Why would you hurt my pup?" The words "my pup" hit me like a knife to the heart. My fingernails dug deep into my palms as the pain tore through me. When the storage room door opened again, I loosened my bloodied hands. This time, I was not going to wait anymore.

For three years of marriage, Jeanette Schafer had devoted herself completely to caring for Skyler Weisberg, who was confined to a wheelchair. Yet, Skyler harbored nothing but contempt for her. He hated her touch so much that the last time she accidentally brushed against his legs, he locked her out of their home for 99 days. The day finally came when Skyler's legs had healed enough for him to stand again. Yet, the first thing he did was to drive straight to the airport to pick up his first love. Years of selfless devotion and tender care meant nothing compared to his 'the one that got away'. Swallowing the heartbreak, Jeanette made a call. She whispered, "The contract is fulfilled. I'm filing for divorce." Only after she walked away did Skyler realize what he had lost. But by then, it was already too late.

Anya Sawyer and I have been married for eight years. In that time, she brought 99 men back home. One day, I found myself looking at the 100th young man she had brought home ever since we got married. He shot me a taunting look before turning to Anya. "Ms. Sawyer, is this your useless husband?" Anya leaned into her seat and replied with a lazy yes. The young man patted my cheek with a grin. "Tonight, I'll show you what a proper man is capable of." … That evening, I was forced to sit in the living room and listen to their moans all night long. The next morning, Anya ordered me to prepare breakfast for her as usual. I refused. She seemed to have forgotten our marriage was by contract. That day just so happened to be the third-to-last day of our contract.

Aku pikir aku hanya pembaca biasa, duduk diam menikmati kisah cinta yang penuh derita. Hingga suatu malam, aku terbangun di dunia sebuah cerita. Bukan sebagai tokoh utama, bukan pula villainess haus kuasa, aku hanyalah figuran, tokoh pinggiran yang nyaris tak punya suara. Di dunia itu, aku bertemu dengannya, sang lelaki kedua yang tak pernah merasakan arti cinta dan selalu terluka. Dunia seolah mengabaikannya, takdir pun tega mencampakkannya, bahkan penulis aslipun tak pernah memberinya akhir bahagia. Tapi aku ingin menulis kisah yang berbeda. Aku akan memberinya cinta, yang tak tertulis dalam naskah cerita. Karena kini aku tahu, kisah ini bukan tentang mereka, sang pemeran utama. Ini tentang dia... dan aku, si figuran tanpa suara, yang bertekad mengubah takdirnya.

Seseorang bisa sekaya apa? Suamiku sangat kaya, orang-orang menjulukinya Bayang Kota, karena hampir separuh properti di Kota Bara adalah miliknya. Selama lima tahun menikah, setiap dia pergi menemani cinta pertamanya, dia akan memberikan sebuah rumah padaku. Setelah aku memiliki 99 rumah, suamiku menyadari bahwa aku berubah. Aku tidak menangis dan mengeluh, bahkan tidak memohon padanya untuk menemaniku. Aku memilih sebuah vila terbaik di Kota Bara, lalu menyiapkan surat pengalihan properti dan memintanya untuk menandatangani surat itu. Setelah menandatangani surat pengalihan properti, suamiku mencoba untuk menghiburku. "Tunggu aku pulang, aku akan membawamu pergi melihat kembang api." Aku menyimpan surat itu dengan tenang sambil mengiakan. Namun, aku tidak memberitahunya bahwa surat yang ditandatangani kali ini adalah surat perceraian kami.
