Karma

O bilionário Ethan Gibson está determinado a quebrar a maldição da família: morrer sem deixar herdeiros. Para isso, ele gastou uma fortuna recrutando dez "mães candidatas" e as isolou em sua ilha particular. No dia da chegada, Ethan fez um anúncio público: Aquela que der à luz seu primeiro herdeiro se tornará a futura senhora da família Gibson. A ganância cresceu mais rápido que o desejo. Em poucos meses, várias mulheres anunciaram suas gravidezes com grande orgulho. No entanto, elas e seus bebês que ainda nem haviam nascido foram lançados ao oceano para alimentar os tubarões. O motivo era simples: descobriu-se que elas se envolveram com outros homens. Todas as noites, os gritos vindos do porto me impediam de dormir. Eu estava apavorada, pois também tive um único encontro acidental com Ethan e agora eu estava grávida. Quando o dia finalmente chegou e eu vi o que havia dado à luz, tudo escureceu diante dos meus olhos. Aquelas mulheres que serviram de banquete aos tubarões carregavam, ao menos, bebês humanos. Eu havia dado à luz três pequenos filhotes de cachorro.

My daughter hid inside the cabinet, her trembling hands dialing her father—James, the Alpha of our pack. "Mommy's bleeding a lot. Please, come back and save her," she pleaded. "I'm busy. Don't bother me," James said coldly. "If she's going to die, make sure she does it far away." As he wished, I never bothered him again. Because I really did die, right in front of our wedding photo. When he found out, he went mad, completely mad.

My wolf awakened on my eighteenth birthday. Soon after, the Feral Curse tore through the werewolf world. The curse nearly claimed me, but a young Alpha, Lachlan, saved my life. He brought me to his pack. His parents, the Alpha and Luna, took me in. They gave me the best room in the pack house and treated me like the daughter they never had. Lachlan never left my side. He risked catching the curse himself, patiently feeding me potions one sip at a time. His wolf knew. I was his fated mate. I was the envy of the pack. I had an Alpha's total devotion. Then one day, Lachlan knelt before me. In his hands was the Moonstone necklace—the symbol of every Luna who came before me. He held me tight, whispering a promise to show the world that I belonged to him, and him alone. I accepted the necklace. But that night, I twisted his love into a poison. A poison I used to murder his parents and eighteen of their loyal retainers.

Dos semanas antes de la boda, Nelson decidió posponerla una vez más. —Ivana inaugura su primera exposición de arte ese día —me dijo—. Estará sola y nerviosa. Tengo que estar ahí para apoyarla. Al final, tú y yo ya estamos juntos, ¿qué más da casarnos un día antes o después? Pero ya era la tercera vez que aplazaba nuestra boda por aquella mujer. La primera, Ivana acababa de operarse y sentía nostalgia de la comida de su tierra, por lo que Nelson no dudó en viajar al extranjero y quedarse con ella durante dos meses. La segunda, Ivana decidió irse al bosque en busca de inspiración para pintar y él, preocupado por su seguridad, fue tras ella. Esta era la tercera. Colgué la llamada y miré a César, mi amigo de toda la vida, quien se encontraba sentado frente a mí, relajado, jugando con su bastón de esmeralda, cuyo golpeteo en el piso de mármol rompía el silencio entre nosotros. —¿Todavía necesitas esposa? —le pregunté, sonriendo con picardía. El día de mi boda, Ivana sonreía radiante, copa en mano, esperando el brindis del hombre a su lado. Pero él, con los ojos rojos, observaba en silencio la transmisión en vivo de la boda del heredero del Grupo Santos, el imperio inmobiliario más grande del país.

I go ice fishing with my husband, and we encounter a snowstorm and hailstorm. The mountainside villa has no sustenance and power, and he takes my down jacket to keep his former superior warm. I'm three months pregnant, and my daughter is having a high fever. However, he pushes us out of the villa to look for wild vegetables. Why? Because his former superior wants to eat them. He probably has no idea that I've come to this villa countless times to prepare his anniversary gift. Later, my daughter ends up mentally disabled from the high fever. I finally get my hands on proof of his under-the-table dealings with his former superior. I destroy him before he's promoted!

"Boleh kamu menang dan merasa di atas angin saat ini, Novi. Tapi, lihat apa yang terjadi di kemudian hari! Kamu akan merasakan apa yang aku rasakan saat ini. Kamu akan merasakan sakit hati yang lebih dalam lagi dari aku. Camkan itu! Dan untuk kamu, Mas. Duniamu akan hancur sehancurnya. Ingat, tabur tuai itu berlaku!" Dengan dada naik turun, Sarah mengucapkan sumpahnya. Wanita yang telah baru saja melahirkan itu tidak dapat menahan amarahnya setelah mengetahui dirinya dimadu dan langsung diceraikan oleh suaminya, Hendrik. Novi dan Hendrik hanya senyum meremehkan, dianggapnya ucapan Sarah adalah angin lalu. Namun, apa yang diremehkan oleh mereka ternyata menjadi nyata suatu hari. Bagaimana cara Tuhan mengabulkan Doa Sarah? Ikuti kisahnya di sini.

Pada hari ketiga setelah kematianku, Sandi Subowo menerima telepon untuk mengidentifikasi jenazah. Dia dengan santai merangkul wanita dalam pelukannya dan berkata, "Mati ya sudah mati, kremasi dulu baru hubungi aku." Tubuhku dimasukkan ke dalam tungku kremasi, dan setelah berubah menjadi abu, staf kembali menelepon Sandi. Dia mendecak tidak sabar. "Baiklah, aku segera ke sana."

Le jour de notre mariage, mon fiancé, Hayden Grant, a exigé que je sois expulsée de la chapelle. Il a ensuite descendu l'allée, main dans la main, avec sa première amour d'enfance. Je suis rentrée à l'intérieur et me suis effondrée au bord de l'allée. Le bouquet a glissé de mes mains, les pétales se sont dispersés, jonchant le sol. Pourtant, son regard n'a pas daigné se poser sur moi, pas même une demi-seconde. « L'enfant de Selena a besoin d'un père. Une fois cette situation réglée, je t'épouserai. » Tout le monde pensait que moi, l'idiote éperdue d'amour, j'accepterais volontiers d'attendre encore un mois. Après tout, je l'avais déjà attendu pendant sept ans. Mais cette nuit-là, j'ai fait ce que personne n'avait anticipé. J'ai accepté le mariage arrangé par mes parents et j'ai quitté le pays. Trois ans plus tard, je suis revenue dans mon pays natal pour rendre visite à mes parents. Mon mari, William Fields, était PDG d'une multinationale. Lorsqu'une réunion importante imprévue s'est présentée, il m'a demandé de me rendre à l'avance à la filiale locale de son entreprise, où ses subordonnés prendraient soin de moi. À ma grande surprise, l'un de ces subordonnés s'est avéré être Hayden, l'homme que je n'avais pas revu depuis trois ans. Son regard s'est immédiatement posé sur le diamant étincelant à mon annulaire. « C'est une copie du diamant rose que M. Fields a acheté pour sa femme, celui qui vaut cinq millions d'euros ? Je ne pensais pas que tu deviendrais si frivole après toutes ces années. » « Tu en as assez fait, rentre à la maison. L'enfant de Selena est à l'école maintenant, c'est le moment parfait pour que tu t'occupes de ses repas. » Je n'ai pas prononcé un mot, me contentant de caresser la bague du bout des doigts. Il était loin de se douter qu'il s'agissait de la plus modeste de toutes les pierres que William m'avait jamais offertes.

"Aku sudah membayarmu, jadi kamu adalah milikku. Mau aku menciummu ataupun berbuat lebih dari itu, kamu tak berhak menolaknya," tekanku pada Yumna yang wajahnya tampak merah padam. Alina hanya diam, berdiri di pojok lift dengan menatap ke arah lain. Ya, dia selalu tahu diri bagaimana harus bersikap. "Ya aku tahu! Apa perlu Anda mengul9angnya lagi dan lagi?!" Dia masih terus bicara. Merasa muak, aku mendekat dan kembali mengulang perbuatan yang sangat dibencinya, untuk menutup mulut Yumna. Sementara Alina jadi salah tingkah dan membalik badan melihat kami.
