Overlord Volume 16

Cuando yo estaba embarazada de cuatro meses, mi esposo médico me dejó plantada 16 veces cuando íbamos a registrar nuestro matrimonio. La primera vez, su amante, la enfermerita Lucía, se desmayó por la sangre durante una cirugía. Esperé todo el día frente a la oficina de registro. La segunda vez, recibió una llamada de Lucía. Me abandonó en el puente elevado solo para comprarle toallas sanitarias. Cada vez que intentábamos registrar el matrimonio, su amante encontraba una nueva excusa. La última vez, escuché que él estaba enfermo. Corrí al hospital bajo la lluvia torrencial, solo para descubrir que era la Lucía quien estaba enferma. Él permaneció a su lado sin moverse, mientras me mentía descaradamente por teléfono. En ese momento, comencé a odiarlo. Decidí abortar y marcharme. Pero él recorrió medio mundo, persiguiéndome hasta otro país, solo para suplicarme perdón.

Este é o nono ano em que Dante e eu comemoramos o Mês Sem Donos. O herdeiro aparente da família Corinni acredita que isso fará nosso relacionamento durar mais. Todo ano, após nosso aniversário de namoro ele está livre por um mês, e nos mantemos fora da vida um do outro. Se algum de nós encontrar alguém mais adequado, devemos desejar felicidades. Se não, voltamos ao que éramos depois de um mês. Ao meu redor, os homens da família estouram champanhe sem restrições. — A mais um ano de liberdade! Parabéns ao nosso Subchefe por reconquistar seu status de solteiro! — A aposta da família está aberta! Faça sua aposta à esquerda se acha que eles ainda vão se casar, e à direita se acha que acabou de vez! Por entre a fumaça espessa dos charutos, eu me sentei no canto de um sofá de couro, observando friamente, como se toda essa farsa não tivesse nada a ver comigo. A mão de Dante estava enrolada na cintura de Scarlett enquanto ele passava por mim, sussurrando. — Não crie ilusões. Você sempre será minha única Donna. — Sou uma pipa. Por mais longe que eu voe, a linha sempre estará na sua mão. Apertei meus dedos frios contra o suave volume da minha barriga, com o rosto vazio de expressão. Dante, desta vez na mesa de apostas da família, estou apostando no “fim”. Vou desaparecer completamente do seu mundo. Essa linha de pipa da qual você tanto se orgulha? Hoje à noite, eu mesma vou cortá-la.

Aku sedang hamil empat bulan, tetapi suamiku yang seorang dokter membatalkan janjinya sebanyak 16 kali untuk kami mengurus surat nikah. Pertama kali, perawat kecilnya pingsan karena melihat darah saat operasi. Aku menunggunya seharian di depan Kantor Catatan Sipil. Kedua kalinya, begitu perawat kecilnya menelepon, dia meninggalkanku di jembatan layang, hanya untuk membelikan pembalut untuk si perawat kecil. Setelah itu, setiap kali kami berencana untuk mengurus surat nikah, perawat kecilnya selalu saja membuat masalah. Terakhir kali, aku mendengar suamiku sedang sakit. Aku bergegas datang ke rumah sakit di tengah hujan deras, tetapi ternyata yang sakit adalah si perawat kecilnya. Pria itu menjaga perawat kecilnya di samping tempat tidur tanpa beranjak sedikit pun, berbohong padaku tanpa perubahan ekspresi lewat telepon. Pada saat itu, aku mulai membenci pria itu. Aku dengan tegas menggugurkan kandungan, lalu pergi. Namun, pria itu malah mengejarku hingga ke luar negeri, meminta maaf padaku.

The night before our 17th wedding attempt, my mafia husband, Rafaeal Holloway, looks at me and promises an uninterrupted wedding. He solemnly swears. "Gianna, I promise you. I told Natalia that even if the sky falls, she'll deal with it alone." I am five months pregnant by then. After three years of dating and five months carrying his child, we've never managed to make it down the aisle because he's canceled the past 16 weddings. Every single time, it's for his sworn sister, Natalia Sullivan. The first time, she claims she has a fever. I spend the whole night at the hospital, still in my wedding dress, just to find out she has a mild cold. The second time, she claims her chest hurts. Rafael abandons me mid-wedding and rushes to her side, while she's out laughing over afternoon tea with friends. The third time, she cries for fear of thunder. He bolts mid-vows and leaves me alone in a hall full of staring guests. But everything's different now. Three days ago, a letter arrived from Northern Silenzio. My father, the Don of the Rossetti family, has finally summoned me home. If Rafael walks away for Natalia one more time, I'll leave for good.

Mom, Dad, and Jesse—my younger sister—went out to sea on a trip, but they were caught in a tsunami, and all three perished in the accident. I was left all alone—just as I was about to start university—burdened with nothing but a mountain of debt. In the end, everything I had saved for my university tuition, along with the house Mom and Dad had left me, was taken by debt collectors. I was then forced to work in a shady factory, laboring 16 hours a day, sleeping in a shabby ten-person dorm, and surviving on nothing but thin, flavorless broth. I finally cleared the last of the debt when I accidentally discovered that Jesse—who was supposed to be dead—had appeared on television and become a famous dancer. Mom and Dad even gave an interview about her success. It turned out they had taken out a massive loan and faked their deaths to flee to Pravia for Jesse's dance studies, leaving the entire debt for me to deal with just as I was supposed to start university. I went to confront them, demanding the truth, but they threw me out like trash. I was then hit and killed by a speeding truck at the side of the road. "How could Lorraine be such a nuisance, not even having the decency to die far away from our doorstep?" I have been given another chance, reborn on the day they faked their deaths.

Chloe was just 16 when her parents woke her in the middle of the night with their screams. When she went to see what was wrong there was a tall figure in the dark, standing on its hind legs yet looked like a beast with piercing amber eyes staring down at her parent before slashing though them. Chloe screamed and when they caught eyes something screamed to her to "RUN". So she ran, out the back door and into the woods behind her house. The voice in her head screaming to her to keep running and so she did, as fast as she could without looking back. Suddenly she could hear something running towards her, getting closer and closer till she was finally caught. Screaming and thrashing as best as she could til hearing a voice telling her to calm down. She looked up at him, he looked concerned and she was terrified. Panicking, looking around her and seeing nothing but darkness except this man holding her, she passed out in his arms. He looked down to her, brushing her hair from her face, lifting her and carrying her to the pack doctor. He could sense her wolf but was unsure of where she had come from.
