LOGINBlurb One sacred promise, a thousand lies, and one secret that destroys. For Dewangga, his wedding day with Vivian should have been the beginning of a perfect and honorable life. However, a small incident in the dressing room—an accidental spill of coffee—led him into a trap he never expected. Behind the locked door, he met Davian, Vivian's wild and manipulative half-brother. Davian knew Dewangga's biggest secret. He knew that behind the dashing wedding suit, Dewangga hid an orientation that he suppressed deeply. With intoxicating touches and sharp words, Davian began to ensnare Dewangga in an irresistible forbidden obsession. Now, Dewangga is trapped in a torturous charade. By day, he is the perfect husband to Vivian. But in the darkness, he is a prisoner of Davian's passion. When his wife's touch no longer stirs his body, Dewangga is forced to borrow another man's shadow to survive his wedding night.
View MoreVivian demanded a manuscript. The mysterious enemy demanded a key. And Dewangga? He wanted only one thing—to hear Sarah’s breathing again with his own ears, not through a horrifying digital distortion.So he began to write. But not the narrative of Surya Group’s rise that Vivian demanded. He wrote a plan. Every word he etched onto the page was a code—a carefully constructed storyline designed to trap both sides fighting over him.In an old warehouse on the outskirts of North Jakarta, the cold air from the harbor seeped through cracks in the concrete. Sarah sat bound, her head hanging as she struggled to stay conscious. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Dewangga’s face beneath the mountain rain. She remembered his confession about the fire in Puncak—the burden he had carried alone for years.“He’s not coming,” a deep voice emerged from the darkness in front of her.The mysterious man stepped into the light. No longer hidden behind shadows or screens, he revealed himself—a middle-
The helicopter tore through the storm with a deafening roar, yet inside the cabin, the atmosphere was as cold as a grave. Dewangga sat with his hands bound, his head hanging weakly from the blow he had taken, dried blood lining his temple. Across from him, Vivian sat calmly, drying her hair with a small towel as if she had just returned from a slightly chaotic party—not from a scene of fire and murder.Dewangga stared out the small window. Below, the blaze on the hill where their cabin once stood was slowly shrinking, swallowed by the darkness of the forest and the relentless rain. His heart felt hollow. Davian was gone in that explosion—a brutal sacrifice he had never asked for. And Sarah—he could only hope she had reached the darkness of the northern cliff before Vivian’s hunters found her.“You look so grief-stricken, my dear,” Vivian’s voice cut through the hum of the rotors. She leaned forward, her cold fingers lifting Dewangga’s chin, forcing him to meet her gaze. “When you shou
“You’ve always had a flair for drama when choosing meeting places, Dewangga,” Vivian’s voice flowed softly, almost drowned by the roar of the storm. “A banyan tree, a raging downpour, and secrets from the past. You truly are a writer to your very core.”“Let them go, Vivian,” Dewangga hissed. His voice was low, trembling with restrained fury. “You want me. Take me. But let them leave.”Vivian let out a soft laugh, a sound like a blade brushing against silk. “You still don’t understand, do you? This isn’t about negotiation. It’s about ownership. Davian is a failure that needs to be erased, and that doctor… she’s an unnecessary distraction.”Meanwhile, at the surrounded cabin, Davian peered through the crack of a broken window. Vivian’s tactical vehicles had cut their lights, but the presence of hired killers hung in the air like electricity. He turned to Sarah, who was packing an emergency medical bag with trembling hands.“Sarah, listen to me,” Davian said suddenly, his voice unnatura
Davian stood at the doorway, his shadow stretching long beneath the dimming glow of the oil lamp. In his hand, he held an old pistol—one of the few relics he had salvaged from the ruins of their past.“Are you sure about this?” Davian’s voice was hoarse, his scarred eyes locking onto Dewangga with a rare intensity. “Meeting a ‘ghost’ under that banyan tree could be a trap far deadlier than Vivian.”“Vivian wants to own me, Davian. She wants me back in her golden cage,” Dewangga replied as he buttoned his jacket. “But whoever sent that letter… he knew who I was before I became a Surya. I need to know why.”“If you don’t come back in two hours, I’ll take Sarah down through the northern path. I won’t let all of us die here because of your curiosity.”Dewangga gave a short nod. He stepped outside, into a fog so thick he could barely see the tips of his own shoes. His path led him toward the dispensary. He had to say goodbye to Sarah, even if he knew words would never be enough.Inside the
