Would Rather Artinya

I have seen and heard many women coming out of Cassius's motorhome in the past year. It was painful and repulsive. What makes it worse is that he is married to Charity. Multiple times they have been unfaithful to one another. Sadly, I witnessed the consequences of infidelity when my best friend's mate betrayed her and she lost her life before my eyes. I can't believe that I used to have feelings for him or believed we would be mates someday. I would rather die by rejecting him than go through the same pain my best friend experienced when her mate cheated on her after marking her. Never in a million years did I think rejecting my fated mate, would throw me into a twisted romance with two mates fighting each other for my love. What the hell am I supposed to do now?

"Kamu pikir aku akan pergi karena ini? Itu konyol banget, Lib," kata Selena tenang. Ia tidak segugup tadi. Libra menatap Selena dalam diamnya, masih belum memberikan reaksi apapun. Libra menunggu Selena selesai berbicara. "Aku suka kamu itu artinya aku menyukai segalanya tentang kamu," ujar Selena tenang dengan tatapannya yang lurus menembus netra cokelat Libra. "Aku menerima kamu apa adanya, Libra." Libra meneguk ludahnya, perkataan Selena membuat pipi dan telinganya memerah. Hey, cowok juga bisa malu dan merasa melting, lho. Cowok punya perasaan yang bisa baper juga.

“If you were the last man on earth and I needed to be saved, I would rather die than let you touch me.” I screamed in his face, my husband. The name still sounded bitter on my tongue. He looked the least bit bothered by my outburst, taking two tentative steps until he stood right in front of me, close enough that all I could smell was him. He gripped my chin and forced me to look at him. “Throw your tantrum princess. When you’re done you’ll come back pleading for my touch, you’ll beg me to ruin you. You will swell with my child and give me the heir that I want.” He turned but stopped short and faced me again. “That is all you would be good for.”
