Karma

Aku adalah seorang wanita yang baru saja menikah. Aku akui, gairahku memang cukup tinggi, sentuhan sedikit saja bisa langsung membuatku terangsang. Tapi, aku bersumpah, aku sama sekali tidak pernah berniat untuk tidur dengan adik iparku ….

Seberapa memalukan hukuman cambuk di Diusz? Di bawah tatapan beberapa pria kekar, rokku disingkap ke atas dengan kasar dan aku langsung dicambuk. Akan tetapi, suamiku malah bersemangat, sampai-sampai tubuh bagian bawah miliknya bereaksi. Malam itu, akhirnya aku bisa merasakan kembali kebahagiaanku yang telah lama hilang ….

"Apa kau mencintai aku? Bagaimana dengan Yuni?" Abizhar tak langsung menyahut. Diamnya untuk sesaat sudah menjadi jawaban yang jelas bagi Shelina. "Aku.. Tentu aku mencintaimu, tapi soal Yuni... Keadaannya rumit. Aku harus tahu keadaannya bagaimana, apakah dia masih membutuhkan aku..," kata Abizhar terdengar kikuk. "Kau harus mengerti aku, Shelina." "Baru kusadari akulah duri dalam hubungan kalian," sahut Shelina pilu. "Aku tidak mau lagi memaksamu untuk mencintai aku. Sekarang Yuni lebih membutuhkanmu daripada aku." Demi sebuah tanah dan jabatan, Abizhar rela mengorbankan kebebasannya dengan menikahi Shelina yang terobsesi padanya. Akankah dia mencintai istrinya? Atau dia kembali pada mantan kekasihnya yang juga simpanannya selama dia menjadi suami Shelina?

There's about half a month to our wedding when Daniel Bradshaw and I get into a horrible fight. The reason? He wants to have a child with his mentor's daughter. "We're only going to do IVF—it's not like we're doing anything else! My mentor is gravely ill now, and his only wish is to see Phoebe have someone she can rely on!" Daniel sounds indifferent, but my blood runs cold. "It's half a month to our wedding, yet you're going to have a child with another woman. Don't you find that ridiculous?" I watch as he storms off and slams the door shut behind him. Then, I update my social media. "I'm getting married in half a month, but I need a new groom. Is anyone up for it?"

Aku seorang janda. Malam itu, dalam keadaan setengah sadar, aku berniat pergi ke kamar mandi, tapi aku menemukan pintu kamar putraku yang berusia 18 tahun sedikit terbuka. Dari dalam, terdengar suara napas terengah-engah yang samar ….

The day I went into labor with the twins, I bribed the family doctor to shoot me up with every heavy-duty suppressant he could get his hands on. Anything to stall the birth. Why? Because in my last life, Vincent—my husband, the Don—claimed to have a low sperm count. To guarantee an heir, he lined up ten mistresses and told the whole house: whoever popped out a son first, her kid would be the next Corleone Don. He promised if I delivered first, he'd ditch the others. Said our baby would inherit the throne. I bought every word. When I found out I was carrying twins, I couldn't stop shaking—I thought I'd won. But after I gave birth, he tossed me and the babies into the freezing wine cellar and locked the place down. "Lucy came from nothing. I just wanted to give her kid a name. You started rumors, pushed her into despair, and now she's dead—her and the baby. You're vile. Not fit to be the Don's wife. Think about what you've done. I'll open the door in three days." Then he had the butler seal it shut. What he didn't know? That night, the cellar caught fire. Me and my babies? Burned alive. When I opened my eyes again, I was back—right before labor. This time, I'm not staying. Soon as I deliver and get back on my feet, I'm taking my kids and disappearing for good.

Aku seorang wanita dengan hasrat seksual yang sangat kuat. Meski tidak melakukan pemeriksaan di rumah sakit, aku tahu kalau diriku pasti kecanduan seks.Terutama pada masa ovulasi, aku harus lakukan setidaknya dua atau tiga kali sehari. Kalau tidak, aku bakal terasa gatal di sekujur tubuh. Awalnya, suamiku yang tinggi dan kuat bisa mengisi kesepian tubuhku. Namun, dia sangat sibuk akhir-akhir ini dan sedang dalam perjalanan bisnis selama lebih dari setengah bulan...

On New Year's Eve, Facebook blew up. The reason was that Bennett Miles, the golden boy of Crestmoor’s elite, posted an update. In the photo, a shy young woman hid her face as she leaned against his shoulder while he grinned. His eyes were full of affection and mischief. His caption read, "What do I do? Looks like I'm officially taken." Friends in his circle flooded the comment section with congratulations. The real frenzy began when Bennett announced that the first 10,000 followers to like, share, and comment on the post would each receive a gold bar. The internet went wild with envy and curiosity. Everyone scrambled to find out more about the woman in the picture. Then, someone claiming to have inside information started a livestream. "Stop guessing. Her name is Kara Sierra. You know Sierra Hall at Crestmoor College? That building was named after her! "Two years ago, she had kidney failure. Bennett personally donated one of his own kidneys to save her!"

— Ah... Mais devagar, meu marido está me ligando. Com o rosto em chamas, peguei o celular e atendi à chamada em vídeo. Do outro lado da linha, meu marido, com os olhos fixos, dava uma ordem atrás da outra. Ele não percebia que, fora do enquadramento, a cabeça de um jovem se movia inquieta entre minhas pernas.
