Kalimat itu, keluar begitu saja dari mulut Ibrahim minggu lalu. Ibrahim adalah satu-satunya kakak laki-laki yang dimiliki Dinara. Sudah seminggu berlalu, tapi pikirannya tetap kusut.Bahkan saat ia duduk menunggu giliran di ruang interview hari ini, kecamuk itu belum juga reda. Dinara menarik nafas pelan, mencoba menenangkan diri namun ia tetap gelisah.
Bagaimana tidak? Rumah satu-satunya peninggalan Ibu, lenyap dijual kakaknya bahkan tanpa sepengetahuannya! Alasannya? Untuk membayar hutang pinjaman online, untuk berjudi!Dinara tidak habis pikir. Berulang kali, ia berharap kakaknya bisa berubah, tapi yang ia dapat justru kekecewaan yang semakin dalam.
Yang membuatnya semakin sesak, haknya atas warisan itu pun tidak diberikan secara utuh. Ibrahim hanya memberi sekadarnya, seolah-olah dialah yang paling berkuasa atas harta warisan itu.Ketika ia mencoba protes, kakaknya malah bersikap tak peduli.
Dan sekarang, rumah itu harus dikosongkan minggu depan. Tujuh hari lagi. Panik mulai merambat. Dinara belum memiliki pekerjaan lagi, sementara biaya hidup terus berjalan.Tabungannya makin menipis, dan uang warisan mendiang ibu pun sudah hampir habis digunakan untuk menyambung hidup. Belum lagi, ia akan kehilangan tempat tinggalnya.
Maka, ketika sahabatnya memberi kabar tentang lowongan di perusahaan properti tempatnya bekerja – sebuah perusahaan properti villa besar dengan reputasi solid, Dinara pun langsung mengiyakan.Ia tahu seleksinya terkenal ketat, tapi ia harus mencoba, harus berusaha diterima. Dinara betul-betul membutuhkan pekerjaan ini.
Sekarang, di ruang interview, Dinara duduk berhadapan dengan dua sosok penting dari perusahaan properti tersebut. Seseorang dari bagian HRD dan Elang Adikara, sang CEO yang dikenal sebagai sosok dingin, perfeksionis dan sulit ditebak. Dinara kini mengerti maksud ucapan sahabatnya tentang sang CEO beberapa hari lalu. Elang Adikara memang tampan dengan rahang tegas, sorot mata tajam, dan aura yang entah bagaimana membuat ruangan menjadi seperti kekurangan oksigen. Tetapi pesona itu tidak membantu Dinara merasa lebih nyaman. Beberapa kali Dinara menarik nafas pelan, mencoba menenangkan diri. Ia jelas butuh pekerjaan ini. Ini adalah pekerjaan formal pertama Dinara.Dulu, Dinara hanya pernah bekerja sebagai bagian administrasi di sebuah gudang kecil, pekerjaan yang ia dapat berkat kenalan ibunya dulu. Meski pekerjaan itu tak bertahan lama karena ia harus mengurus ibunya yang sakit.
Ia membantu seluruh proses administrasi gudang agar berjalan lancar. Dinara juga beberapa kali menemani atasannya.Namun, Dinara pikir semua itu tidak sebanding dengan hari ini. Ia harus berhadapan dengan seorang CEO, dengan tanggung jawab pekerjaan yang jauh lebih besar, jauh lebih banyak.
‘Aku harus dapat pekerjaan ini, nggak boleh gagal!’ pikir Dinara dengan tekad bulat. Namun sejak tadi, Dinara dapat merasakan tatapan yang menusuk dari sang CEO. Seolah-olah pria itu menilai tiap detail dirinya. Itu membuat Dinara merasa sedikit tidak nyaman. Meski begitu, Dinara menjawab semua pertanyaan Bu Reva dengan mantap. Meski tidak memiliki pengalaman yang signifikan, Dinara percaya diri dengan kemampuannya. Ia yakin bahwa dirinya sudah siap ketika harus menghadapi tekanan, jadwal padat, hingga klien yang sulit. Dari cara Bu Reva mengangguk-angguk, Dinara merasakan adanya kepuasan, seakan jawabannya lebih dari cukup. Membuatnya sangat yakin akan diterima di perusahaan tersebut. Namun begitu sang CEO akhirnya bersuara, atmosfer ruangan langsung berubah drastis. “Dinara Arumi.” Nada beratnya membuat kepala Dinara terangkat perlahan. “Iya, Pak,” jawabnya sopan. Tatapan pria itu tidak bergeser sedikit pun. Seakan ia sedang menilai apa pun yang tidak tertulis di CV. Matanya dingin, namun intens. Lalu sebuah pertanyaan datang tanpa peringatan. “Tidak ada pengalaman… Memang tahu apa tentang menjadi sekretaris?” Dinara terdiam. Dunianya seperti berhenti sesaat. Ia tidak yakin apakah ia salah dengar, atau memang pria di depannya itu baru saja meremehkan kandidat pegawainya. Dinara memang belum pernah bekerja sebagai sekretaris sebelumnya. Namun, bukan berarti Dinara sama sekali tidak memahami tentang menjadi seorang sekretaris. Dinara sempat terpelatuk rasa kesal. Ia merasa direndahkan dengan satu pertanyaan itu. Namun, ia harus menahan perasaan itu, karena bagaimanapun ini adalah sebuah kesempatan yang tidak bisa didapatkan dua kali. Dada Dinara kembali menegang. Lengan Dinara ikut kaku di pangkuan. Sebagian dirinya ingin tertawa tidak percaya, sebagian ingin berdiri dan pergi saja. Tapi ia butuh pekerjaan ini. Ia tidak bisa kehilangan kesempatan ini hanya karena emosi. Seluruh kesan elegan Elang Adikara di mata Dinara lantas runtuh begitu saja. Yang ia lihat sekarang adalah seorang pria yang dengan mudah merendahkan orang lain. Orang yang bahkan tidak dikenalnya. Barangkali pria itu memandang orang lain sebagai rendahan. Cara pria itu menatapnya juga membuat Dinara merasa seolah sedang dihakimi. Ia seperti diperlakukan sebagai masalah bahkan sebelum diberi kesempatan membuktikan siapa dirinya. Elang berdehem, terdengar tidak sabar ketika Dinara tidak langsung menjawab. Dinara tersentak kecil. “Mohon maaf, apa boleh diulang pertanyaannya, Pak?” Dinara akhirnya bersuara, mencoba terdengar tegas. Ia berharap Elang Adikara akan menarik ucapannya. Mengubah pertanyaan itu menjadi sesuatu yang lebih relevan. Namun harapan itu langsung padam ketika Elang Adikara kembali memindai dirinya dari atas sampai bawah. Ia menegaskan dengan lebih perlahan namun lantang. Elang menghela napas sebelum kembali berujar, “Pertanyaan sepele seperti itu saja tidak bisa jawab, bagaimana bisa kamu begitu percaya diri melamar menjadi sekretaris saya?” Mata Dinara membesar. Apakah pria ini serius!?The house felt different tonight.Colder.As if the walls themselves had learned how to hold their breath, waiting for a verdict that hadn’t yet been spoken aloud.Silver Levi pulled his jacket tighter around his shoulders as he made his way down the dim hallway. His boots echoed against the polished wood floor, the sound sharp and hollow, like a warning.The Levi mansion was sprawling, ancient in some parts, and the east wing—where Lili had once kept her private rooms—felt like a different world entirely.Silver paused outside the heavy oak door.He hesitated.This part of the house had been sealed off after Lili’s confrontation with Alexander. No one had dared go inside yet.But Silver wasn’t looking for confrontation.He was looking for answers.For Brayden. For himself. For the pieces of the truth that didn’t quite fit.Taking a breath, he pushed the door open.It groaned on its hinges, loud in the suffocating silence.The room inside smelled stale, as if it had been abandoned for
The late afternoon light softly softened the sharp edges of a day that had been much too long as it poured warm, golden streams into the Levi estate. Laughing emanated from somewhere close to the sunroom, little, brilliant sounds not fit for a house still waking from the previous evening. Her bare arms revealed in a loose black singlet that clung to her form as Dysis sat cross-legged on the thick Persian rug, her denim shorts hem caressing the tops of her thighs. At the back of her neck, her hair was knotted haphazardly, strands breaking free with every light-hearted tug from Brayden. The small child laughed as he stacked plush animals around her, his blond hair a ruffled halo in the last of the sunlight. His quick, enthusiastic hands arranged a "castle" of lions, bears, and tigers around his "queen." His hands were pudgy. "You have to stay inside; the dragons will grab you!" Eyes wide, Brayden cautioned, dramatically swinging a foam sword he had discovered elsewhere. Dysis
Ravenhold had split apart under the storm. Rain slashed across the night, each dropping a little knife against Lili's naked flesh. She staggered forward gripping the ripped edge of her luxury coat tighter about her, her shoes sinking into the muck. Her still raging flames licked at the heavens like a beast refusing to die. Orange. She turned not to look back. For her, the ashes had nothing left. Her blood dried against the cold bite of the wind, each stride weighted more than the last. Just enough to catch the shine of black iron gates ahead, a sliver of moonlight split across the clouds. Dead was the vineyard. Long since abandoned, gnarled vines tore up from the ground to create skeletal shadows over the crumbling stones. At Carter Estate, a rusting sign spun crazily in the breeze. She was exactly where she should be. Bass thudded low under her feet on the ground. Somewhere inside, music throbbed a dark, sluggish cadence like a heartbeat pieced together with broken promises.
The storm had hardly relaxed its hold on the Levi estate when the thick oak doors creaked open once more.Lili Levi entered, her shoes striking the marble floor with a discordant echo throughout the spacious hall. Her pricey wool coat smells faintly of rain and lilies, drops still shining on the black cloth cut specifically. Her golden hair, expertly arranged in a chignon, did not show one strand out of alignment. A gift from Adam years ago, her sapphire earrings swung softly as she gently removed her gloves with careful, deliberate grace. She ignored the way the house had stilled. Alternatively, how does the staff vanish into the walls like smoke? Alternatively, as if the house itself were holding its breath, the very air felt thicker, heavier. A faint murmur stirred in the study outside the hall, the clink of a glass being laid down. Firm footsteps. a slow, deliberate exhale.Ignorant of the storm she was about to step into, Lili fixed the collar of her coat walked forward. She pus
The world faded around Sofie as she tripped into the night, her body brushing against the decaying warehouse walls. Her breath emerged in jagged inhales, misting the chilly, humid air. Each step she made felt as though she was pulling her soul along, one heartbeat at a time. Her tattered black tren
There was no warmth in it, no love, just a coldness that made Brayden’s knees wobble beneath him. The words hung in the air, suffocating him.The dead shape of the cat lay just beyond Brayden's gaze, a little lump of fur now spilt of its life. The stillness of it was deafening.Lili watched for an
Cormac turned slightly, his angular face sharply shadowed by the low bulb above casting. "No more mistakes," he said slowly and stepped forward, his boots softly thudding against the concrete floor. “And in return for your loyalty, I suppose you have needs.”Sofie paused. Her eyes dropped to her ha
The cold seeped into Sofie’s bones, sharper than hunger, sharper than thirst. The dampness of the concrete floor clung to her black trench coat, pressing its weight against her spine. Every breath she drew felt wrong, thick with mildew, metallic like rusted iron. Her wrists were raw and the rop
