Chapter 1

"Puan, tolong jangan terlalu kecewa. Keadaan puan tidak terlalu serius. Keupayaan untuk mengandung berkait rapat dengan keadaan emosi seseorang. Tolong kekalkan sikap positif dan bekerjasama dalam rawatan. Saya percaya puan akan mempunyai bayi yang sihat."

Ia adalah musim paling panas di LA, tetapi Emily Carter, yang baru keluar dari hospital, merasakan seolah-olah dia diselubungi kesejukan seolah-olah angin sejuk telah menyapunya, menyebabkan badannya menggigil tanpa kawalan.

Ibu mertuanya, Carol, berdiri di pintu masuk hospital, segera menggenggam tangan Emily sebaik sahaja melihatnya, dan merampas laporan kesihatan dari tangannya, sambil mengomel tanpa henti, "Biar saya tengok. Macam mana seseorang boleh berkahwin bertahun-tahun tanpa ada anak?"

Emily secara naluri cuba merampas kembali laporan itu.

Tetapi Carol menolaknya, tidak menghiraukan wajah pucat Emily, dan membuka laporan itu di situ juga di jalan.

Emily terhuyung-hayang ke belakang, hampir jatuh. Tekanan baru-baru ini telah mengambil tol pada dirinya, dan dia sedar bahawa dia tidak minum air untuk masa yang lama. Matahari musim panas yang terik membuatkan dia terasa pening seketika.

Carol terus mengomel, tetapi Emily tidak dapat mendengar suaranya buat seketika.

"Tengok! Ini masalah kamu! Kamu langsung tak boleh mengandung," Carol menjerit, mengembalikan Emily dari peningnya.

"Saya..." Emily terasa terlalu lemah untuk berdebat lagi. Dia hanya mahu pulang ke rumah.

Carol berkerut apabila membaca perkataan "tiub fallopio tersumbat" pada laporan itu, wajahnya semakin gelap seolah-olah dia baru pulang dari neraka.

"Apa lagi yang kamu nak cakap? Diagnosis hospital memberi kamu kurang daripada 20% peluang untuk mengandung!" Kemarahan Carol semakin memuncak.

Emily menggelengkan kepala, cuba membersihkan fikirannya. Dia tahu Carol sentiasa tidak menyukainya kerana dia telah berkahwin dengan Nathan selama empat tahun tanpa mengandung. Tidak, Carol tidak menyukainya sejak hari pertama dia berkahwin dengan Nathan.

Orang yang lalu lalang mendengar suara Carol dan memandang mereka. Emily merasa seperti seorang badut.

Nathan Reed adalah satu-satunya pewaris keluarga terkenal Reed di LA. Emily memahami keinginan Carol untuk seorang anak lelaki yang mewarisi kekayaan keluarga, dan kerana perkahwinan mereka bukan berdasarkan cinta, dia telah diam-diam bertahan.

"Carol," Emily cuba kekal sabar, "mari kita balik dulu."

"Itu rumah agam keluarga Reed, bukan rumah kamu. Faham tak? Kamu tak layak!"

Emily berkerut. "Walau apa pun, saya dan Nathan berkahwin secara sah. Kamu tak boleh ubah fakta itu..."

"Saya tak boleh ubah? Kamu lebih baik bercerai dengan Nathan segera! Jangan ingat saya tak tahu apa yang kamu rancang. Biar saya beritahu, kamu tak akan ambil apa-apa dari kekayaan keluarga kami!"

Semakin ramai orang berkumpul di sekeliling, dan cuaca yang terik serta pandangan tajam di sekeliling membuatkan dia semakin malu.

Emily menarik nafas panjang, merasa putus asa dan tidak berdaya.

Jika dia tahu ia akan jadi begini, mungkin dia tidak akan bersetuju untuk berkahwin dengan Nathan sejak awal.

Dia hanyalah seorang gadis biasa, asalnya tiada peluang untuk bertemu dengan seorang bilionair seperti Nathan. Tetapi datuk Emily dan datuk Nathan telah menjadi kawan, dan datuknya pernah menyelamatkan datuk Nathan. Kemudian, keluarga Emily jatuh miskin, dan Emily hanya boleh tinggal di kawasan setinggan. Untuk menjaga Emily yang miskin, datuk Nathan meminta Nathan berkahwin dengannya sebelum dia meninggal dunia.

Nathan pada mulanya tidak bersetuju. Mana ada bujang yang layak akan berkahwin dengan gadis biasa seperti Emily? Tetapi melihat datuknya yang lemah di hospital, dia bersetuju.

Tahun ini menandakan tahun keempat perkahwinan mereka. Dalam empat tahun ini, Nathan tidak pernah membulinya, tetapi dia juga tidak begitu bersemangat. Hubungan mereka hanya sedikit lebih baik daripada orang asing, dan ia tidak boleh dianggap sebagai persahabatan. Lingkaran kawan Nathan sama sekali berbeza dengan kawan-kawannya, dan dia tidak mengharapkan Nathan untuk memahami atau melawan Carol untuknya. Dia hanya tidak menyangka bahawa perkahwinan ini akan berakhir dalam kebuntuan sebegini.

"Carol, perkahwinan kami diputuskan oleh datuk kami..."

"Dia dah mati, kan? Emily, kamu fikir kamu boleh jadi Puan Reed selama-lamanya?"

Nada Carol semakin kuat. Justeru apabila Emily fikir dia akan memulakan pusingan teguran yang lain, Carol tiba-tiba tersenyum dan menunjuk kepada sepasang kekasih yang berpelukan tidak jauh dari situ, berkata kepadanya, "Nampak tak? Seseorang sedang melahirkan pewaris untuk keluarga kita. Saya cadangkan kamu cepat-cepat lepaskan kedudukan Puan Reed. Ada orang lain yang lebih sesuai daripada kamu."

Mengikuti isyarat Carol, pandangan Emily jatuh pada suaminya, Nathan, yang sedang memeluk seorang wanita hamil dengan perut yang sedikit menonjol, menundukkan kepalanya dengan penuh kasih sayang. Wanita itu berbisik sesuatu di telinganya, dan Nathan tersenyum lembut, mencium dahinya.

Dia tidak pernah melihat Nathan tersenyum begitu lembut padanya.

Pandangan Emily jatuh pada wanita hamil dalam pelukan Nathan, dan perasaan aneh yang tidak asing melanda dirinya.

Wanita hamil itu bukan orang asing; itu sepupunya, Sophia.

Terkejut, marah, tidak percaya. Pelbagai emosi melanda fikirannya, dan Emily hampir tidak dapat mempercayai matanya.

Sophia menyedari pandangannya, dan dia perlahan-lahan berjalan ke arah Emily, mengusap perutnya dan berkata dengan gembira, "Emily, sepupuku, aku mengandung anak Nathan. Kami baru saja menjalani pemeriksaan, dan doktor kata bayi ini sangat sihat. Cuba teka, lelaki atau perempuan?"

Emily memandang perut Sophia yang sudah hamil, menggigil, tidak dapat berkata-kata sepenuhnya. "Bagaimana kau boleh... Dia suamimu! Bagaimana kau boleh buat begini padaku? Bagaimana kau boleh menggoda suami sendiri?"

Emily secara naluriah mengangkat tangannya untuk menampar Sophia, tetapi tangannya ditangkap di udara.

Nathan, dengan wajah yang tegas, menangkap tangannya dan menolaknya dengan kuat. Melangkah ke depan, dia melindungi Sophia di belakangnya dan berkata dengan suara rendah, "Emily, kau sudah lihat. Kita akan bercerai."

Emily menutup matanya, terlampau letih dan tidak berdaya. "Bila kalian mula bersama? Sebagai isterimu, aku masih berhak tahu."

"Kau berani tanya? Biar aku beritahu, Emily, kau tidak ada hak untuk campur urusan keluarga kami, apatah lagi Nathan!" Carol sangat sombong pada saat ini.

Emily merasa sesak nafas, dan dia menggeram perlahan, "Aku adalah isteri Nathan. Suamiku curang, dan aku berhak tahu, kan?"

"Kau, dengan latar belakang hidup di kawasan setinggan, berani fikir kau boleh jadi isteri keluarga Reed? Datuk Nathan keliru, tapi aku tidak!"

Semakin ramai orang berkumpul, seolah-olah menonton drama kehidupan nyata.

Dia tidak pernah membayangkan suatu hari dia akan menjadi protagonis dalam sandiwara seperti ini.

Sophia kelihatan bersalah, bersandar lembut di dada Nathan, berkata dengan lembut, "Carol, jangan salahkan Emily. Ini salahku. Aku... Aku hanya terlalu mencintai Nathan."

Carol memegang tangan Sophia dan tersenyum, "Sophia, kau berbeza dengan dia. Kau berpendidikan, dan sekarang kau mengandung pewaris keluarga Reed. Kau adalah menantu yang aku akui."

Emily menutup matanya, berharap ini hanya halusinasi kerana keletihan.

"Sophia, aku selalu menjaga kau. Sejak kau datang ke bandar ini untuk belajar di universiti, aku melayanmu seperti keluarga! Aku tolong kau masuk ke syarikat Nathan." Emily tidak dapat mengawal air matanya lagi. "Bagaimana kau boleh buat begini padaku?"

"Emily," Nathan bersuara, melangkah ke depan dan melindungi Sophia di belakangnya dengan teguh, "Sophia kini adalah wanita aku. Kalau kau marah, kau boleh bincang dengan aku."

Marah?

Apa kemarahan yang dia ada?

Selama empat tahun, dia menahan semua kesedihan sendiri, mengubah semua kemarahannya menjadi usaha untuk menyenangkan. Dia telah berusaha keras untuk membina hubungan baik dengan Nathan dan Carol, bahkan melayan pembantu rumah dengan baik. Apa lagi yang boleh dia katakan sekarang?

Pada mulanya, dia teruja untuk berkahwin dengan Nathan. Dia menyukainya. Dia mahu menjadi isteri yang baik, menjaga suaminya, dan mempunyai anak yang comel. Apa yang salah dengan itu?

Dia tidak mempunyai saudara. Dia fikir dia telah mendapat ahli keluarga baru selepas berkahwin, tetapi perkahwinannya hancur oleh sepupunya.

Hatinya terasa seperti dirobek oleh tangan yang tidak kelihatan, membuatnya tidak dapat berdiri tegak kerana kesakitan.

"Baliklah. Jangan buat malu di jalan," Nathan, seorang bilionair terkenal di LA, tidak mahu dikenali di jalan oleh orang lain.

Tetapi ketika tangan Emily memegang pemegang pintu kereta, Nathan berkata, "Naik teksi, jangan naik kereta ini. Sophia akan duduk dalam kereta ini."

Ini kereta dengan empat tempat duduk. Dia memandu, Carol duduk di tempat penumpang, dan Sophia duduk sendirian di tempat duduk belakang, meminta maaf dengan senyuman, "Maaf, Emily. Nathan terlalu risau tentang anak ini..."

Dia tersenyum pahit dan menutup pintu kereta.

Akar semua ini adalah kerana dia tidak dapat mempunyai anak.

Nathan memandu pergi dengan Bugatti hitam, meninggalkannya sendirian berdiri di pintu masuk hospital, ditunjuk dan dibicarakan oleh orang yang lalu-lalang.

Dia adalah isteri nominal Nathan, tetapi juga ahli keluarga yang tidak diakui oleh keluarga Reed.

"Will you continue to disobey me?" he asks, his gaze cool and hard.
"Yes,"

"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
