Karma

Alors qu'on m'a tranchée morceau par morceau, j'ai trouvé la force d'appeler mon frère. Il a décroché quand ma conscience s'est brouillée, avec une voix pleine d'agacement. « Qu'est-ce que tu veux encore ? » « Alex, sauve-moi… » Je n'ai pas fini ma phrase qu'il m'a coupée net. « Comment se fait-il que tu aies toujours des histoires ? À la fin du mois c'est la fête d'Élise Dubois, si tu ne viens pas, je te fais la peau ! » Après ces mots, il a raccroché sans hésiter. La douleur m'a vaincue, j'ai fermé les yeux pour toujours, avec des larmes encore aux coins de mes yeux. « Alex, tu n'as pas besoin de me tuer, je suis déjà morte. »

Aku adalah seorang wanita muda yang baru menikah. Hari itu, adikku datang kepadaku sambil menangis, mengatakan bahwa saat dia sedang melakukan pijat relaksasi di sebuah tempat spa, dia diperkosa oleh seorang terapis pria. Karena tidak memiliki bukti, pria itu bisa lolos tanpa hukuman. Maka aku memutuskan untuk turun tangan sendiri, pergi menggoda terapis itu demi mendapatkan bukti baru...

Suamiku punya rahasia tak terkatakan, dia malah meminta pria lain membantuku...

[Rendezvous = Pertemuan] — Mungkin pepatah mengatakan 'Dunia itu sempit seperti daun kelor' benar adanya. Semesta juga memiliki macam-macam karma yang membuat banyak orang terkadang menyesali apa yang ia katakan ataupun lakukan. Tapi banyak juga yang mengatakan Karma itu indah dan Pertemuan juga indah. Tapi sepertinya tidak berlaku bagi wanita berumur 25 tahun itu. Meski tak sebenci dulu, namun pertemuan dengan pria berumur terpaut lumayan jauh itu menjuluki bahwa pertemuan tersial yang ia temui. Apalagi pertemuan buruk ditambah karma buruk pula, nyatanya ia harus terjebak dengan pria tersebut dalam jangka waktu tidak bisa ditentukan. — "Bapak tu kenapa kalo sama saya sensi terus?

When my body was being dismembered, my fiance was helping my cousin choose her wedding dress. When he received my distress call, he said with disgust, "I hope you never come back! You can die with the bastard in your womb! Don't ever call me again. The mentioning of your name makes me sick!" After that, he found a body part of me in a water tank on the rooftop of a hotel. He thought it was a prank, so he actually ordered white lilies and candles to be delivered to my doorstep. Only when he found my head buried in the grass under his feet on the day of our wedding did he realize that it wasn't a prank.

When my mother-in-law was poisoned and clinging to life, my toxicology knowledge was her only hope. I ended the call and grabbed my coat, ready to rush to the hospital. My husband blocked my path. "Hold on! It's the opening of Ella's haunted castle today. You're bailing to play ghost?" I stared at him, telling him about the dire situation. The poison needed to be neutralized within thirty minutes, or it would be fatal. He rolled his eyes. "Your janitor mom can drop dead for all I care. I'll toss some Monopoly money on her grave if it shuts you up. Don't try to cross me here." His best female friend draped herself over him. "In a hurry to chase some side guy? Girl, your face is longer than Herbert's when he is all revved up. Right, buddy?" Their shamelessness was almost laughable. The kicker? Herbert thought it was my mom dying.

The intern my husband brings home feeds our son hard liquor. My husband merely says I'm making a mountain out of a molehill when he finds out. Ultimately, our son dies. After his death, I leave the country to be with my parents. That's when my husband regrets everything.

Maya Beckham was Oscar Francis's first love. After four long years abroad, she had assumed any feelings he once held for her had turned to dust. Yet when she returned to Elminas, he proposed. Everyone swore Maya was the love of his life—his one true love, his everything. Touched beyond words, she finally gathered the courage to say yes. …Until the day she discovered Oscar secretly marrying her half-sister, Diana Beckham. She stormed toward him like a woman possessed, her voice trembling with rage. "Explain." Oscar met her fury with infuriating calm. "You vanished without a word four years ago. Diana stayed. Now she's dying—this is her last wish. How could I refuse?" Maya's lips curled into a faint, unreadable smile. What Oscar didn't know? She was the one diagnosed with a difficult illness back then. Later, Maya got into an accident and forgot Oscar entirely. Oscar broke down. Day after day, he pounded on her door like a madman, begging her to remember.

—¡Ay... más suave, mi esposo me está llamando! —exclamé con las mejillas enrojecidas mientras tomaba el teléfono y contestaba la videollamada. Al otro lado de la línea, mi esposo, con la mirada perdida, me daba una orden tras otra, sin percatarse de que, fuera de cámara, un joven movía la cabeza entre mis piernas.

Baik, tampan, dan bertanggung jawab ternyata masih tak cukup untuk wanita yang haus akan uang, uang, dan uang. Wildan dikhianati Ratih–sang istri–karena ia miskin, tak seperti mantan kekasih Ratih yang bisa membelikan apa yang diinginkan wanita. Namun, siapa sangka jika status Wildan yang sesungguhnya malah terkuak ketika ia telah menyandang status duda dan bekerja sebagai seorang sopir pribadi. Ternyata ia bukan sopir biasa. Ia adalah ....
