Setelah Bercerai, Hidupku Semakin Gemilang
Elara Hawthorne
Introduction
Dia berkata, "Pangeran, mari kita bercerai saja."
Dia menjawab, "Kamu jangan menyesal nanti."
Dia pikir setelah berpisah, istrinya pasti akan menyesal. Siapa sangka, dia malah sibuk bermain lemparan, bermain petak umpet, menebak benda tersembunyi, bertarung ayam, bermain polo, dan bertarung jangkrik. Dia sama sekali tidak menangis di kamar.
Akhirnya, setelah dia memimpin pasukan dalam perang, sang pangeran mengejarnya ke medan perang dan mengurungnya di tenda, "Shangguan Xin, jangan lagi menggantikan ayahmu dalam pertempuran, aku akan menjagamu."
Di bawah cahaya lilin, wanita itu tersenyum lebar, "Pangeran tenang saja, nanti saat aku menaklukkan padang pasir, aku pasti akan meninggalkan tubuh sang putri dalam keadaan utuh."
Pria itu marah dan malu, di tengah kilauan pedang, seorang pria lain muncul dan memotong pria itu dengan pedangnya. Song Jue tersenyum ramah, "Pangeran, jaga sikapmu, Ah Xin adalah istriku."

Chapter 1
"Shangguan Xin, sudah tiga tahun kamu tidak bisa memberikan keturunan. Menurut aturan keluarga Ye, seharusnya kamu sudah diceraikan. Namun, karena aku masih menghargai hubungan kita, aku tidak akan menceraikanmu. Hanya saja, Feifei harus memiliki status yang setara denganmu," kata Ye Mingli dengan wajah dingin, mengenakan pakaian hitam. Di sampingnya berdiri Yang Feifei yang mungil dan manis, seperti burung kecil yang manja.
Yang Feifei bersandar di pelukan Ye Mingli, dengan gerak-gerik yang menggoda, "Kakak, aku rela menjadi istri kedua, aku tidak akan mengeluh."
Shangguan Xin menatap mereka dengan mata dingin, tanpa menunjukkan ekspresi marah.
Apa perlu Yang Feifei mengeluh?
Yang Feifei, apa dia pantas?
"Yang Feifei, kamu bermarga Yang, aku bermarga Shangguan. Apakah kita satu keluarga? Ayahmu hanya pejabat tingkat enam, sedangkan ayahku adalah Jenderal Pelindung Negara. Lihat dirimu sendiri, apakah pantas menyebut dirimu sebagai saudara perempuanku?" Shangguan Xin mengejek dengan bibirnya, menatap pasangan yang dianggapnya hina di depannya.
"Shangguan Xin, aku memberitahumu ini, bukan untuk berunding denganmu," Ye Mingli melompat keluar, menunjuk Shangguan Xin dengan marah.
Melihat Ye Mingli yang seperti anjing terpojok, Shangguan Xin hanya merasa sesak di dada.
Dulu, pemuda itu memegang tangannya, dengan penuh perasaan berkata bahwa dia hanya akan menikahinya seumur hidup. Sekarang, janji itu sudah hilang bersama waktu.
Pemuda itu dulu penuh kelembutan, berkata bahwa dia tidak akan mengecewakannya seumur hidup.
Tapi sekarang?
Sekarang dia menatapnya dengan wajah garang, seolah ingin menamparnya.
Semua itu terasa sangat konyol.
Demi Yang Feifei, dia benar-benar bisa memberinya tamparan.
Shangguan Xin tersenyum getir.
"Shangguan Xin, kamu harus tahu diri. Kamu tidak bisa melahirkan anak, ada yang bisa memberiku keturunan. Cepat minta maaf kepada Feifei!" seru Ibu Suri yang datang dari kejauhan dengan suara lantang.
Shangguan Xin tertawa dingin, "Kenapa aku harus minta maaf?"
Ibu Suri dengan wajah penuh keriput dan rambut putih, berjalan dengan langkah goyah.
Sepanjang hidupnya, dia melahirkan sepuluh anak, tiga meninggal muda, tiga menikah, tiga gugur di medan perang, dan yang tersisa hanya anak bungsunya, Ye Mingli, yang sangat disayanginya, takut anak satu-satunya juga akan pergi.
"Hanya karena anakku adalah putra mahkota, dan kamu adalah istrinya, kamu dilahirkan untuk melayani anakku," Ibu Suri menatap Shangguan Xin dengan tegas.
Shangguan Xin tertawa dingin, "Aku, Shangguan Xin, adalah istri putra mahkota yang sah dari keluarga Ye, putri sah dari keluarga Shangguan. Aku bukan menikah ke keluarga Ye untuk menjadi budak, dan aku juga tidak dilahirkan untuk melayani Ye Mingli."
"Tampar dia."
Dengan satu perintah dari Ibu Suri, seorang pelayan maju dengan cepat dan menampar Shangguan Xin.
Tamparan itu membuat Shangguan Xin tidak siap, darah mengalir dari sudut bibirnya.
Ketika tamparan kedua hendak jatuh, pelayan itu terbang terpental oleh tamparan Shangguan Xin.
"Kamu, kamu manusia atau hantu?" beberapa orang menatap Shangguan Xin dengan ketakutan.
Apakah mereka tidak mengenal Shangguan Xin? Tidak punya kemampuan apa-apa, lemah dan tak berdaya, siapa pun bisa menindasnya. Bagaimana mungkin dia bisa membuat pelayan terbang dengan satu tamparan?
"Aku tentu saja manusia," Shangguan Xin tertawa dingin, menatap orang-orang di sekitarnya.
"Kakak, jangan pukul aku, anak ini tidak bersalah," Yang Feifei mundur ketakutan.
"Cepat, lindungi istri kedua."
Dengan satu perintah, para pelayan mengelilingi Ye Mingli dan Yang Feifei, menghalangi Shangguan Xin.
Di dalam lingkaran, Ye Mingli dengan hati-hati memeluk Yang Feifei, "Kamu tidak apa-apa?"
Yang Feifei berbaring lemah di pelukan Ye Mingli, "Kakak Li, aku baik-baik saja. Aku hanya khawatir kakak cemburu, takut kakak tiba-tiba menyerangku. Jika aku terlempar, anak ini pasti tidak akan selamat."
"Tidak apa-apa, aku di sini, aku tidak akan membiarkan dia menyakitimu," Ye Mingli memeluk Yang Feifei untuk menenangkannya.
"Shangguan Xin, kamu sangat jahat. Kamu sendiri tidak bisa melahirkan anak, dan kamu ingin Yang Feifei juga tidak bisa melahirkan anak," Ibu Suri menunjuk Shangguan Xin dengan marah.
Shangguan Xin melihat adegan dramatis di depannya, hanya merasa itu konyol.
Sejak tahu Ye Mingli punya wanita lain, dia tidak pernah cemburu lagi. Dulu dia mencintainya, tapi sekarang dia tidak lagi. Apa artinya Ye Mingli? Apa artinya Yang Feifei? Dia tidak akan mengotori tangannya karena mereka.
Lagipula, Ye Mingli sudah tiga tahun tidak menyentuhnya, bagaimana mungkin dia bisa hamil? Jika benar-benar ada anak, itu hanya omong kosong.
Tiga tahun, mereka tidur di kamar yang sama tapi di ranjang yang berbeda. Belakangan, Ye Mingli bahkan tidak pulang, selalu berdalih ada urusan dan tidur di ruang kerja.
Dia pikir dia benar-benar sibuk.
Tapi, ternyata dia sibuk membuat anak dengan Yang Feifei.
"Aku tidak punya waktu untuk bermain denganmu," Shangguan Xin menatap orang-orang di sekitarnya dengan dingin, lalu melihat Ye Mingli, "Ye Mingli, di hadapanku, kamu hanya punya dua pilihan: satu, bercerai denganku dan menikahi Yang Feifei sebagai istri utama; dua, putus hubungan dengan Yang Feifei, dan gugurkan anaknya. Kamu dan aku akan hidup sebagai pasangan yang saling menghormati."
"Di tempatku, tidak ada istilah menceraikan istri," Shangguan Xin melihat ke arah Wushuang, "Wushuang, kita pergi."
Tuan dan pelayan itu pun pergi.
Ibu Suri marah sampai memegang dadanya, "Tidak masuk akal, tidak masuk akal, dia ingin membuatku mati! Di keluarga Ye hanya ada istilah menceraikan istri, bercerai, itu tidak mungkin."
Ye Mingli menenangkan Ibu Suri, mengantarnya kembali ke kamar untuk beristirahat, lalu pergi dengan Yang Feifei.
Yang Feifei menggandeng lengan Ye Mingli, "Kakak Li, jangan marah karena masalah kakak. Kalau aku di posisi kakak, aku pasti akan memikirkan Kakak Li. Kakak tidak bisa menerima aku dan anak ini juga salahku."
Ye Mingli mendengarkan kata-kata Yang Feifei, menarik tangannya dengan tenang, dan mengangguk dengan acuh tak acuh.
Sampai di belakang bukit buatan yang sepi, Ye Mingli menatap Yang Feifei, "Siapa yang mengizinkanmu hamil anakku?"
Yang Feifei terkejut, tidak bisa bereaksi, "Kakak Li, ada apa denganmu?"
Ye Mingli menatap Yang Feifei dengan dingin, "Malam itu, aku hanya dimanfaatkan, kamu hanya obat sementara. Aku sudah memberimu keuntungan, ayahmu menerimanya, anak ini seharusnya tidak ada."
Yang Feifei gemetar ketakutan, "Putra Mahkota, aku, aku sudah minum ramuan penggugur, tapi, tapi ini bukan sesuatu yang bisa aku kendalikan."
Yang Feifei menatap Ye Mingli dengan menggoda, "Putra Mahkota, kamu tidak suka Shangguan Xin, kan? Shangguan Xin begitu sombong, dan meremehkanmu. Aku benar-benar mencintaimu."
Ye Mingli menatapnya dengan dingin, "Aku tidak akan menyukai Shangguan Xin, apalagi menyukaimu. Yang Feifei, ingat ini, kamu bisa tinggal di istana hanya karena anak ini. Jika kamu tidak bisa menjaga anak ini, kamu tahu akibatnya."
Setelah itu, Ye Mingli pergi dengan marah.
Yang Feifei ketakutan sampai merinding.
...
Di Paviliun Dengar Malam.
Wushuang membantu Shangguan Xin menyisir rambut, "Istri Putra Mahkota, kenapa Anda harus menurunkan harga diri dan marah padanya? Jika Anda tidak berbicara, dia tidak akan bisa masuk ke istana."
Shangguan Xin menundukkan kepala, lalu membuka matanya lagi, melihat dirinya di cermin tembaga, dan menyentuh pipinya, "Wushuang, apakah aku mirip dengan Yang Feifei?"
Wushuang tersenyum ringan, memasangkan jepit rambut untuk Shangguan Xin, "Istri Putra Mahkota, bagaimana mungkin Anda mirip dengannya."
"Benarkah?" Shangguan Xin bergumam, "Tapi, malam itu Putra Mahkota mabuk, katanya aku mirip dengannya."
Wushuang tidak mendengar dengan jelas, bertanya, "Istri Putra Mahkota, apa yang Anda katakan tadi?"
Shangguan Xin tersenyum pahit, "Aku ingin bercerai dengan Putra Mahkota."
Wushuang hanya berkata, "Istri Putra Mahkota, jangan berkata seperti itu lagi, tidak baik jika orang lain mendengarnya."
Shangguan Xin dengan ekspresi dingin, "Wushuang, aku tidak bicara omong kosong. Apa yang aku katakan hari ini juga bukan omong kosong. Aku sudah mengirim surat perceraian ke ibu kota."

"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.

He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
