Widowed Adalah

Lisa Knox The day I caught my husband and my sister having sex on the bed while my son had drowned in the pool was the day I made my decision and stood by it. Nothing was going to make me stay in this five years marriage. So, I took the divorce papers, signed it and left everything behind. Including the wealth and company I Inherited from my late dad. I had handed everything in my life over to him when I was blinded by love. Now, I vowed as I stepped out to get back everything until my sister and my ex husband are reduced to nothing. * Andrew McCarthy The day before my wedding, I had caught my first love and wife-to-be getting fucked by my PA in the study room. I had said nothing and simply went out to drink, completely hopeless for love. There I met her, a beautiful young lady whom I could use for the night. The sex had been good but that was about it. I cancelled the wedding when I got a call to come back home and take up the responsibility of a father, to adopt my niece because my twin brother had just been murdered. Five years later, everything is in chaos and I need a woman who is experienced in raising children who will stay. So when I met that lady from the one night stand again, I made up my mind to have her for myself. She would be my wife and would raise my daughter, no matter what.

Lara is falsely accused of killing her husband, Max, who died on their wedding night. Everyone, including her sister Eveline, believes she's guilty. But Max’s brother, Alpha Jerry, gives her a chance. He proposes marriage, offering her protection as his Luna. Lara accepts the offer, not out of love, but to secretly investigate Max's death. Jerry plans to publicly reject Lara once he proves she's a murderer. He feels a strong mate-bond with her but is determined to find the truth, even if it means destroying her. Their shared mission to find the killer brings them closer, but their love is considered "forbidden" by others, who believe it's a "taboo to marry your brother's widow."

She never saw it coming. One day, the man she loved was just... gone. All she had left was a single, cryptic letter, received mere hours after he had proposed to her. ​The very next day, she found out the devastating truth: he had married the billionaire's daughter. The pain of his betrayal was almost unbearable, but the deluge of unanswered questions was even worse. Why did he leave? What had she done wrong? ​A month later, he returned—not just as a widowed billionaire, but as her new boss. She was now his secretary, forced to sit across from the man who shattered her world. He was full of regret, practically begging for a second chance. He claimed he had made a terrible mistake and desperately wanted her back. ​But soon, she would learn the truth behind his sudden departure—the real reason he had abandoned her. And that truth? It cut deeper than any betrayal ever could.

"Believe me, destiny won't run away. Even if you drown in the Congo River and parts of your body are eaten by Goliath Tigerfish, if she's meant for you, she'll accept you just the way you are." ~ Gladwin Hampton ~ "If it's truly meant to be, it won't go anywhere. Even if we run to the ends of the earth to avoid it, God will always provide a way to bring His creatures together. But... we can choose to avoid it if there's a chance." ~ Bella ~

“Aku mau pindah,” kata Aira suatu malam. Arsen hanya tersenyum, seolah itu keputusan paling wajar di dunia. “Kalau gitu, aku ikut.” Mereka sudah hidup bersama sejak kuliah. Berbagi ruang, waktu, dan kebiasaan kecil yang tanpa sadar berubah menjadi kebutuhan.
