When Does The Hobbit Enter Public Domain

Two months remained until debut evaluation night. Before our unit performance, our main dancer suddenly offered me her center position. I stared at her, confused, "The trainers always praise your stage presence. Why give up your spot?" "You... you deserve center more than I do." Her smile was painfully forced, and she was fidgeting with her practice clothes - obviously not saying what she really felt. Puzzled by her strange behavior, I asked, "Are my moves too big? Am I making it hard for you to perform?" She suddenly started shaking, looking at me with pure fear in her eyes. After what felt like forever, she finally choked out, "Please, just stop. I won't try to compete with you for center anymore!"

I am the wife of Anthony Caster, don of the mafia family in New York. When I was nine months pregnant, he brought a woman named Evelyn Graves into the manor, claiming she’d saved his life. That was the day my nightmare began. She put something in my food. Next thing I knew, I was doubled over in pain. And she had the nerve to blame it on me—said I was being reckless with what I ate. She lost her footing and fell down the stairs, but she told everyone I was the one who shoved her. Every day, she’d cry in front of Anthony about how saving him had left her wounded and unable to bear children, how seeing a pregnant woman broke her heart. But the moment she turned to me, the tears were gone, replaced by a cold smile. “As long as I’m here,” she whispered, “your babies will never be born.” Anthony was convinced I was jealous of her. He locked me away in the abandoned attic of the manor and said, “Reflect on your actions and stop bullying Evelyn.” On the first day they shut me in, the contractions began. I screamed, I begged, I banged on the door. The butler heard me and went to inform Anthony. He said, “Amelia, your due date is three days away. Stop putting on an act. Three days in a snowstorm and you came out fine. This? You can handle this.” On the second day, my water broke. I screamed at the top of my lungs, my fingernails digging into the cracks of the wall, blood spilling all over the floor. The butler went to Anthony again. Evelyn said, “Anthony, she’s making all that noise because she wants you to feel sorry for her and let her out. If you give in now, she’ll only grow more reckless later.” He believed her. On the third day, I stopped screaming. Anthony thought I had finally learned my lesson, unaware that I had already died from the difficult labor. When he finally opened that door, all he would find was my rotting, putrid body.

After six years by Archie Valez’s side, everything changed when his uncle died—and Archie took over the family legacy… and with it, the responsibility of caring for his “young” aunt, Betty Cruz, whose age was practically the same as Archie’s. Still, whatever Betty wanted, Archie delivered. I just never thought it would include a baby. Betty said she wanted a baby with the Valez bloodline. And with the uncle gone, Archie was the only one left to do the job. So he gave her that, too. “Just wait a little longer,” he would say to me, “Sabrina. As soon as she’s pregnant.” What started as once a month turned into once a week… Then it became a nightly routine. Of almost eight months that we lived in New York, Archie went to Betty over a hundred times. And she finally got pregnant. Shortly after, the Valez family announced that Archie would be marrying Betty. “Mommy,” my daughter asked softly, climbing onto the couch beside me. Elly—our Elly. My Elly. The daughter Archie never had time for. “Is someone getting married?” I held her close and kissed her hair. “Yes, sweetheart. Daddy’s finally marrying the love of his life.” Elly blinked at the screen. “But what about us?” I smiled. “We’re going home, baby,” I whispered in her ear. Archie forgot that I was Sabrina Marcellus. And the Marcellus women didn’t beg for rings. And certainly not love after betrayal.

Sejak kecil, hidupnya dibentuk oleh kehilangan dan pengabaian. Ia dilahirkan dari seorang ibu yang mati dalam cinta yang tidak membahagiakan, dan seorang ayah yang menolaknya hanya karena ia perempuan. Terabaikan oleh ibu, terluka oleh ayah, ia tumbuh dengan keyakinan bahwa perasaan adalah kemewahan yang tidak dimiliki orang sepertinya. Ia dibesarkan oleh nenek dari pihak ibu—seorang perempuan tua yang lembut dan penyayang—yang mengajarkannya untuk tetap menjadi manusia, meski dunia tidak pernah adil. Dari kehidupan keras itulah ia belajar membaca keadaan, memahami orang, dan mengasah kecerdasannya secara diam-diam. Bukan lewat sekolah, melainkan dari lingkungan, percakapan, dan pengamatan yang tajam. Ketika ia bekerja sebagai pelayan di rumah seorang bangsawan muda, ia membawa prinsip sederhana: tidak berharap, tidak melanggar batas, dan tidak jatuh cinta. Ia sadar sepenuhnya akan rendahnya posisi sosialnya. Ia dingin bukan karena tak punya hati, melainkan karena terlalu memahami risiko. Namun ketenangan dan kecerdasannya justru mengusik sang tuan—seorang pewaris bangsawan yang terikat adat, kuasa, dan rencana pernikahan politik. Hubungan mereka tumbuh perlahan, berjarak, dan penuh rintangan. Bukan kisah cinta yang gegabah, melainkan pertarungan batin antara realitas sosial dan perasaan yang tak pernah diminta. Di tengah intrik istana, gosip, hukuman, dan rahasia masa lalu yang perlahan terbuka, ia dipaksa menghadapi pilihan berat: tetap bertahan sebagai perempuan yang aman dalam keterbatasan, atau mempertaruhkan dirinya pada cinta yang mungkin—atau mungkin tidak—akan menghormatinya sebagai setara.
