Toxic

Pada hari Rina Januar pulang negeri, Galih Gunawan tidak pulang semalaman. Keesokan harinya, aku melihat unggahan foto di instagram Rina. Itu foto dua tangan yang saling menggenggam dan wajah polos Galih yang sedang tidur. Ketika pulang, Galih melemparkan surat cerai kepadaku dan memintaku untuk menyerahkan posisiku sebagai Nyonya Gunawan. Katanya, "Posisi ini memang seharusnya milik Rina. Sekarang dia sudah pulang, waktunya kamu meminggir!" Tidak apa-apa, toh sisa hidupku tidak lama lagi. Siapa pun yang mau posisi Nyonya Gunawan, ambil saja! Kemudian, aku pun meninggal. Galih menangis di depan makamku dan berjanji tidak akan pernah menggenggam tangan wanita lain lagi!

Suamiku mengunggah fotoku di media sosialnya, sehingga aku dianggap sebagai pelakor oleh selingkuhannya. Selingkuhannya membawa semua kerabat dan teman-temannya untuk melabrakku. "Wanita murahan nggak tahu malu. Berani-beraninya kamu goda suamiku!" "Kupukul kamu sampai mati, dasar pelakor!" Sekumpulan orang itu menghujaniku dengan pukulan, merusak mobilku, dan merobek pakaianku. Aku dipukul hingga babak belur, gegar otak, dan mengalami patah tulang. Pada akhirnya, aku melapor polisi dan mengajukan tuntutan pada mereka semua. Pada saat bersamaan, aku menyuruh sekretarisku untuk mempersiapkan surat cerai kepada suami berengsekku itu. "Kalau bukan berkat aku, kamu masih jadi pengemis di jalanan sekarang. Berani-beraninya kamu berselingkuh dan diam-diam punya anak di belakangku? Pergi sana, jangan harap bisa dapat sepeser pun uangku!"

(18+) CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT “A HUMAN. . .” he mused, scanning every feature of my face, carving them into his memory. "Jisoo." He breathed my name, making me resist the urge to shiver. I raised my eyebrows at the undeniably handsome man in front of me and crossed my arms, then shook my head, "I was supposed to make 10 million today!" I whined at the loss of my company. "Humans and their greed!" He grunted, walking away. JISOO KWON, a strong and independent twenty-seven-year-old woman, who was the CEO and founder of her company, lived her life confidently as she expanded her company; her empire. Little did she know her life would take an unexpected turn, forcing her to run away from home; from the company she built with her every breath, only to run into a creature, one that was believed to be a myth at that. While she always fancied dragons, treasuring them as her favorite mythology creature, she never imagined actually meeting one, let alone being one’s mate. But there’s no way that's possible, right? However, she's proved wrong, by her mate nonetheless. TRISTEN SLADE is a determined, yet surprisingly kind dragon prince-- but only to his kind. He was always harsh towards humans, it was their very existence that forced dragons to run and hide within the shadows and caves, the once powerful and majestic creatures, now long forgotten. His only mission was to find the Heart of Magic, a gem that would return his kind to their original glory, but when a certain little human practically runs into his arms, scared, terrified and lost, he's brought into something anew...and beautiful. Will this forbidden toxic love save both kinds? Or will it destroy them both? After all, it was one impossible love.. Cover by @.SeashelI on quotev.

Suamiku mengidap sindrom XYY. Aku pernah menyelamatkan nyawanya. Dia langsung terobsesi padaku dan mengejarku selama tiga tahun.

Ibu mertuaku menunjukkan video editan sambil memekik, "Putraku! Istrimu selingkuh! Ini buktinya!"
