Chapter 1

"Berapa lama lagi aku harus menanggung hidup macam ni?!"

Di atas katil, Agnes Tudor dengan marah melemparkan bantal di tangannya dan menjerit dalam kemarahan.

Dia dah nak gila!

Dia sudah berkahwin dengan suaminya selama tiga tahun!

Namun, dalam tiga tahun itu, dia tidak pernah melihat suaminya walau sekali pun.

Ini memang tak masuk akal!

Bagaimana keadaannya sekarang berbeza dengan menjadi balu?

Dia tak boleh tahan hidup macam ni lagi sehari pun!

Hari itu, Agnes akhirnya membuat keputusan untuk bercerai dengan suaminya yang dia tak pernah jumpa!

Namun, walaupun pada hari perceraian, suaminya yang misteri itu tidak muncul.

Agnes terpaksa menguruskan prosedur perceraian dengan pembantu suaminya, Robert Jones.

Robert tidak terlalu terkejut dengan keputusan Agnes untuk bercerai.

Lagipun, tiada wanita yang boleh menerima berkahwin selama tiga tahun tanpa pernah melihat suaminya.

Tambahan pula, Agnes masih muda dan cantik.

Tuan muda itu memang agak keterlaluan, mengabaikan isterinya sebegitu rupa.

Mungkin perkahwinan ini adalah kesilapan dari mula, dan mengakhirinya lebih awal adalah pilihan yang baik.

Apa yang Robert tidak jangka adalah bahawa Agnes bukan sahaja memilih untuk bercerai tetapi juga tidak berniat untuk mengambil sebarang harta.

Robert sangat keliru.

Agnes, seorang pelajar kolej tanpa ibu bapa, sudah membuat keputusan bodoh dengan bercerai sekarang, jadi kenapa dia melepaskan sebarang harta?

Agnes menggaru kepalanya dengan canggung, tidak menyembunyikan apa-apa dari Robert, yang seperti ayah kepadanya. "Saya nak berhenti belajar."

Robert terkejut. "Agnes, kenapa awak nak berhenti? Ada masalah ke?"

"Tak, tak, Robert, jangan fikir lebih-lebih. Awak tahu saya benci belajar, jadi saya tak nak buang masa," kata Agnes.

Berhenti belajar hanya alasan untuk mengelakkan Robert daripada terus bertanya. Sebab sebenar adalah rahsianya.

Lagi pula, esok genap tiga tahun perkahwinannya dengan Leopold Neville.

Dia ada masa depan yang panjang dan tidak mahu perkahwinan palsu ini menahannya.

Suami yang tak pernah dia jumpa—tak ada apa yang nak dirindukan. Tambahan pula, perkahwinan itu hanya kehendak ibu bapanya.

"Nampaknya awak dah buat keputusan. Baiklah, saya akan serahkan kepada Encik Neville esok," kata Robert.

"Terima kasih, Robert." Agnes menghela nafas lega dan memberi senyuman manis.

Robert berdiri, kelihatan serius. "Agnes, Encik Neville orang baik. Saya rasa kamu berdua padan, jadi saya harap awak fikirkan semula. Kalau awak tukar fikiran, hubungi saya bila-bila masa."

Padan dengan Leopold? Ketika Agnes mendapat sijil perkahwinan mereka, Leopold berada di luar negara makan malam dengan presiden. Dia pun tak muncul; sijil itu diselesaikan tanpa dia. Gambar perkahwinan mereka pun diubah suai.

Dia sudah menunjukkan lebih tiga tahun dia tak mahu berkahwin dengannya juga, jadi apa gunanya jadi padan?

Menarik kembali fikirannya, Agnes menarik nafas dalam-dalam. "Saya..." Dia sudah buat keputusan, tetapi untuk mengelakkan Robert daripada risau, dia tukar kata-katanya kepada "Baiklah."

Robert tak dengar khabar dari Agnes sehingga petang esoknya. Frust, dia mengeluarkan telefon dan mendail nombor: "Encik Neville, saya ada dokumen yang perlukan tandatangan awak."

"Dokumen apa?" Suara Leopold dingin.

Robert teragak-agak. "Perjanjian cerai."

Leopold menghentikan kerjanya.

Kalau bukan sebab peringatan Robert, dia mungkin tak ingat pun yang dia ada isteri.

"Letak perjanjian tu di pejabat saya. Saya akan balik ke Lumina City dalam beberapa hari lagi," kata Leopold.

"Baik, Encik Neville," jawab Robert.

Sementara itu, malam semakin larut di Lumina City, semakin ramai anak muda yang berpusu-pusu ke Blue Night Bar.

Di Bilik Persendirian 501, berpuluh-puluh botol bir, wiski, champagne, dan pelbagai jenis snek berselerak di atas meja.

Untuk hari lahirnya, Agnes mengenakan gaun renda merah jambu muda yang sangat feminin. Semua orang mengeluarkan telefon mereka, mahu bergambar dengannya.

Setelah akhirnya berjaya melarikan diri dari orang ramai yang memegang telefon, Agnes dengan gembira bersulang dengan sedozen rakan sekelas. Hadiah hari jadi yang mereka berikan memenuhi satu sudut bilik.

Sedikit mabuk, Justin Smith, dengan tangan melingkari seorang lagi rakan sekelas, menyanyi dengan kuat, "And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on..."

Suara nyaringnya membuat beberapa gadis menutup telinga mereka.

"Hei, hentikan nyanyian sekejap. Jom main permainan," Bella Brown, yang terkenal dengan sikap terus-terangnya, menjerit kepada dua 'rock star' wannabe itu.

Bella adalah yang paling tua di asrama Agnes dan selalu tahu cara untuk memeriahkan suasana.

Selepas jeritan Bella, bilik akhirnya sunyi. Sedozen lelaki dan perempuan berkumpul di sekitar dua meja panjang, semua mata tertumpu pada Bella.

Bella adalah ratu keseronokan!

"Truth or Dare!" Bella mengumumkan dengan senyuman licik.

Semua orang menjulingkan mata. "Bella, kita dah main permainan ni banyak kali. Bosanlah." Justin mengejek. Dia dah pun mengurangkan kebiasaan antiknya dalam parti ini, dan sekarang mereka main permainan yang membosankan!

Bella memandangnya dengan tajam. "Ini hari jadi Agnes yang ke-21. Jom buat lebih menarik!" Dia tersenyum penuh makna.

Memandangkan mereka semua pelajar, tiada siapa yang berniat jahat. Sebelum ini, cabaran hanya perkara bodoh seperti menyanyi lagu tinggi, menggendong kawan, atau membuat duet dengan seseorang.

Cabaran pertama bermula dengan semua orang teruja. Bella memandang Agnes, yang sedang merenung wainnya, dan memberikan pandangan tahu-tahu kepada kumpulan itu. Mereka faham isyarat itu. "Yang kalah kena keluar dan cium orang pertama yang berlainan jantina yang mereka jumpa! Di bibir! Kalau tak berani, kena habiskan sepuluh gelas wiski!"

Bilik itu dipenuhi dengan kegembiraan. Cabaran ini jauh lebih mendebarkan. Justin ketawa kecil, mengetahui niat kumpulan itu.

Selepas satu pusingan batu-gunting-kertas, semua mata tertumpu kepada Agnes yang kelihatan keliru.

Melihat guntingnya dan batu Bella dengan senyuman nakal, Agnes tahu dia dah kalah!

"Bella, aku benci kau!" Agnes merungut, memikirkan cabaran itu. Dia sudah pun mabuk dan tak mampu menahan sepuluh gelas lagi!

Di tengah-tengah gelak tawa, semua orang memerhatikan Agnes yang terhuyung-hayang ke pintu. Selepas menarik nafas dalam-dalam, dia membukanya.

Belok kanan ke lelaki pertama yang dia nampak.

Berdiri di situ adalah seorang lelaki tinggi, Leopold, dengan kemeja putih sederhana yang diselitkan ke dalam seluar hitam. Dia memakai kasut kulit hitam berkilat dan melangkah dengan elegan di atas permaidani.

Mata Leopold yang dalam, kening tebal, hidung tinggi, dan bibir yang sempurna membentuk menjeritkan kemuliaan dan keanggunan.

Tetapi matanya yang dingin dan acuh tak acuh membuat Agnes teragak-agak.

"Whoa, kacaknya dia. Agnes, pergilah! Kami semua tengok ni!" Bella, yang bersembunyi di balik pintu, berbisik. Lelaki tu nampak macam pernah dilihat sebelum ni, tapi di mana ya?

Mendengar desakan Bella, Agnes menarik nafas dalam-dalam dan, tanpa menghiraukan aura intens lelaki itu, menghalang jalan Leopold.

Dekat-dekat, Agnes rasa macam pernah lihat Leopold sebelum ni. Tapi dia cepat-cepat buang fikiran tu.

Dengan berani, dia berjalan mendekati Leopold, senyum sedikit, dan berdiri di atas hujung jari kaki untuk melingkarkan tangannya di leher lelaki itu. Bau wangi Leopold memenuhi deria baunya.

Leopold, yang sedang hendak membuat panggilan, terhenti oleh tindakan Agnes.

Merasa kehadiran mendadak Agnes, dia mengerutkan dahi sedikit.

Tapi kenapa mata Agnes nampak macam familiar?

Mengambil kesempatan ketika Leopold sedang berfikir, Agnes mencium bibir Leopold yang sedikit sejuk dengan lembut.

Beberapa saat kemudian, dia melarikan diri dari sisi Leopold dan berlari menuju bilik peribadi.

"Agnes! Gila kau!" Bella menjerit, dan bilik itu meletup dengan kegembiraan.

Pintu Bilik 501 tertutup rapat, dan wajah Leopold berubah muram. Sejurus sebelum dia memberitahu pengawal peribadinya untuk mencampakkan Agnes ke laut, telefon bimbitnya bergetar dengan panggilan penting.

"Saya akan sampai secepat mungkin!" Dia memberikan satu pandangan tajam terakhir ke arah pintu tertutup Bilik 501, wajahnya semakin gelap. Kali ini, Agnes bernasib baik; ada perkara mendesak di syarikat yang memerlukan perhatiannya segera.

Mereka lebih baik tidak bertemu lagi. Kalau tidak, dia pasti akan membuat Agnes membayar!

Di dalam bilik peribadi, Agnes menyentuh pipinya yang panas. Ini adalah perkara paling liar yang pernah dia lakukan! Dia baru sahaja memberikan ciuman pertamanya kepada seorang lelaki yang tidak dikenali.

Adakah ini dikira curang dalam perkahwinan?

Tapi tak mengapalah; dia sudah tandatangan surat cerai.

Walaupun Leopold belum tandatangan, tak kisah. Secara undang-undang, kalau pasangan berpisah lebih dari dua tahun, mereka automatik bercerai.

Jadi, sama ada dia masih isteri Leopold atau tidak, masih tak pasti. Bagaimana ini boleh dianggap curang?

Kalau difikirkan semula, dia hanya mencium seorang lelaki lain.

Pada masa itu, Bella tiba-tiba menjerit, "Ya Allah!" Hampir sedozen orang terkejut sampai hampir melompat.

"Apa hal, Bella? Kau buat aku terkejut!" Clara Miller, yang sedang hendak minum, menjeling dan menepuk dadanya.

Bella segera berlari ke arah Agnes yang masih terkejut, berjongkok di sebelahnya dan menggoncangnya dengan teruja. "Agnes, kau tahu tak siapa lelaki tadi?" Lelaki itu adalah impian wanita di seluruh dunia—CEO terkenal dan berkuasa sebuah syarikat multinasional di Lumina City, dikenali sebagai Encik Neville!

Agnes mengambil champagne di atas meja dan minum sedikit untuk menenangkan diri, "Siapa dia?" Dia memang rasa macam kenal tapi nak tahu siapa sebenarnya lelaki tu.

"Leopold Neville!" Bella teruja menyebut nama itu. Itu adalah Leopold, figura lagenda yang tak boleh dipermain-mainkan!

Mendengar nama itu, Agnes terus menyembur champagne yang diminumnya. Bella, yang terkena semburan, melihat Agnes yang panik dengan rasa tak berdaya.

"Wow, Encik Neville! Agnes dah cari pasal ke?" Justin, yang bapanya adalah pengurus besar kumpulan kewangan di Lumina City, memang kenal benar dengan nama Leopold!

Clara berfikir sejenak tentang nama yang dikenali itu dan kemudian menjerit, "Agnes, kau sebenarnya cium Encik Neville! Agnes, biar aku cium kau untuk rasa Encik Neville."

Agnes, dalam keadaan terpinga-pinga, mengambil serbet untuk mengelap muka Bella yang basah dengan champagne, terlalu terkejut sehingga tidak sempat minta maaf.

Menghadapi Clara yang semakin mendekat, Agnes tiba-tiba menjatuhkan serbet dan bangun dari sofa.

"Bella, kau panggil nama aku tadi?" Dia rasa dia dengar.

Bella mengeluarkan tisu basah untuk membersihkan mukanya dan menjawab dengan marah, "Ya! Kau tak perlu terlalu teruja!" Mencium Leopold adalah perkara besar. Tapi disembur champagne oleh Agnes, dia hampir gila!

Agnes berfikir dalam hati, 'Habis! Habis!'

Agnes menepuk tangan Bella dengan lembut, "Korang teruskan bermain; aku nak keluar!"

Semua orang terkejut melihat Agnes tergesa-gesa pergi. Adakah dia mahu mengejar Leopold?

Mereka dengar banyak wanita yang cuba tidur dengan Leopold akhirnya dibuang telanjang ke jalanan.

Beberapa orang cepat-cepat keluar dari bar, cuba menghentikan Agnes yang impulsif itu.

Tapi sudah terlambat; Agnes sudah keluar dari situ.

Di luar bar, Agnes menahan teksi dan terus menuju ke villa.

Agnes berdoa dalam hati. 'Ya Tuhan, jangan biarkan Leopold ada di villa, dan kalau dia ada, jangan biarkan dia kenal aku!'

Dia tak mahu Leopold fikir dia menyesal bercerai dan cuba menarik perhatiannya.

Ia sangat menjengkelkan.

Tiga tahun yang lalu, selepas mereka berkahwin, Leopold sentiasa menyediakan kehidupan yang selesa dan mewah untuknya.

Tapi dia tak pernah nampak wajahnya.

Satu sebab adalah dia selalu sibuk dengan kerja, sering keluar negara.

Satu lagi sebab adalah walaupun dia berada di Lumina City, lingkaran sosial mereka seperti siang dan malam. Jadi, adalah normal tak jumpa walaupun tinggal di bandar yang sama.

Ayahnya selalu menyimpan dokumen perkahwinan mereka. Sebelum dia meninggal, takut dia mahu bercerai, dia menyerahkan dokumen perkahwinan kepada suaminya untuk disimpan.

Jadi, hingga hari ini, Agnes tak tahu rupa suaminya.

Tidak, dia pernah terfikir untuk pergi ke syarikat suaminya untuk melihatnya. Dia pergi, tapi kali pertama, pembantunya yang menyambutnya, dan dia tak pernah nampak suaminya. Kali terakhir dia pergi tanpa mendedahkan identitinya, dia dihentikan oleh pengawal keselamatan di pintu masuk bangunan. Leopold baru pulang dari perjalanan perniagaan ke Republik Liberia, dan dia hanya dapat melihatnya dari jauh ketika dia keluar dari kereta.

Pandangan itu hanya sekilas, dan dia hampir lupa sekarang. Walaupun tahu namanya tak berguna; Leopold sangat rendah diri dan tidak pernah menerima temuduga atau membenarkan media menyiarkan fotonya dalam talian.

Agnes ingat foto Leopold pernah didedahkan oleh media sekali, kononnya menghadiri sidang akhbar dengan seorang bintang wanita. Tapi sebelum dia dapat melihatnya, berita itu telah dipadamkan.

Dia sebenarnya telah mencium Leopold di bar hari ini. Jika dia juga telah menandatangani kertas cerai, dia akan menjadi bekas suaminya.

Dia juga dengar khabar yang Leopold tidak pernah kekurangan peminat wanita, tapi dia sangat membenci mereka yang terlalu berani.

Agnes berdoa lagi, 'Tuhan! Tolong jangan biarkan Leopold kenal aku!'

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.

Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.
