Chapter 1 1. Divorced

Chapter 1: The day my mother died, my husband divorced me.

"Diandra Pratama, I divorce you. From today we have no relationship whatsoever."

My body stiffened like an electric shock. My chest felt hot and thunderous. My world felt like it was crumbling and being torn apart.

This chest is sliced with the situation. Even though right now I need a backrest. Because my mother's departure really made me fragile. Even though my mother always said that she might not live long with the disease that had been eating away at her body for years.

Still, I was never prepared for a loss.

Not seeing him for a week, instead of him asking how I was doing and picking me up from my mom's house, he dealt a crushing blow to my life.

My body was so boneless that I was unable to ask him why he had divorced me without first having a big fight between us.

Isn't there usually an explanation for actions?

My tears fell through my eyelids. The man turned his face away, as if reluctant to stare, that I was forbidden to ask for sympathy from him despite his title as a husband. Before the divorce fell.

Half an hour ago my mother passed away. A disease that she had been suffering from for about 5 years made the woman have exhausted the struggle to maintain her breath.

(29 )

A week ago Mas Bima sent me back to my mother's house. The goal was to take care of the woman who gave birth to me. I thought that one week of no news between us would make him miss me when we met.

Unexpectedly, the man dropped something that made me unable to move.

Couldn't that man have asked how my mom and I were doing?

Just because I love her and the marriage between us happened by accident... Do I deserve to be treated like this?

The pain in my solar plexus was intense. The world feels broken.

"What was the reason you divorced me?"

In the end the question slipped out in a trembling voice, originally I wanted to curse and cry out.

"There is no particular reason. I hope you understand my decision."

The man's answer didn't make the curiosity in my heart subside at all. I was probably half alive with curiosity. What was his reason for taking me as his wife? Even though there were already two cute twins between us.

"Mas, can't you go into the house first to...

The man refused openly. I hadn't even finished my sentence.

What if Mas Bima knew that at this time .. that tens of minutes ago my mother had been

exhale for the last time, that man will undo his intention to throw me away?

He is the only person I have right now. Other than our two twin sons.

"We will talk more about it sometime. For now, this is all I can say."

"I have to go," the man said and walked away.

The back garden of the house is a witness that a man who has been the place where I have served as a wife for the past 3 years, today has closed a door that I may no longer be able to open.

The car sped off leaving me alone with a body that felt weak.

I collapsed on the ground with a feeling I can't describe. The limp and the tears broke. Crushed and broken. Mother's death was like an earthquake that shattered my soul and the divorce that Mas Bima imposed on me was like a dark night of loss.

I'm insecure... Like a tree that has lost its roots, swayed by the storms of domestic distress

O Allah... I believe that you are the one who decides the scenario of each of your servants. I know that maybe this is the best even though it hurts. Because even during the wedding, I didn't see a happy twinkle in Mas Bima's face and eyes, except during the birth of the twins Rafka and Rifki.

There is no harmonious attitude shown other than just a responsibility that he carries out as perfectly as possible as a husband and father.

I give a thumbs up for Mas Bima's attitude and responsibility towards me and our marriage. Until I fell in love and was lulled by his kindness, which turned out to be a responsibility, not a reward Love.

Because it seemed like my love was unrequited.

I never saw sincerity on that man's face.

How ironic.

Although not exactly happy and harmonious. But we had a mediocre marriage and there were never any fights. I thought, it doesn't matter if this relationship isn't romantic. The important thing was that we were living life as it should be. Flowing like water.

So now... just one week without seeing each other my husband divorced me?

Maybe he goes back to his past lover?!

What is going on, O Allah?

Is it possible that my husband ....

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
