ดูเพิ่มเติมHiriety Berdine Walton.
Banyak wanita yang ingin menjadi dirinya, dan banyak pria yang memujanya. Dengan rambut cokelat gelap panjang yang lembut, mata abu-abu yang tajam seperti elang, serta bibir merah yang sering melengkung dalam senyum penuh kepercayaan diri, Hiriety bukan hanya sekadar cantik—dia adalah pusat perhatian di mana pun ia berada. Tapi dia bukan sekadar sosialita yang hidup di bawah bayang-bayang nama besar Walton. Hiriety adalah wanita yang tahu apa yang ia mau, dan ia tidak ragu untuk mendapatkannya. Termasuk ketika seseorang mencoba menyentuh dunianya tanpa izin. Seperti pria itu. Marco Valley. Pria yang dikenal dingin, tidak kenal takut, dan penuh kebencian pada keluarganya. Namun bagi Hiriety, Marco bukan ancaman—dia adalah tantangan yang menarik. “Dia benar-benar berani, ya?” Hiriety berbisik dengan nada geli sambil menyesap sampanye dari gelas kristal yang ia pegang. Ia berdiri di sudut ruangan, mengamati pria berjas hitam yang baru saja tiba di pesta malam itu. Hiriety tahu semuanya. Dia tahu jika malam ini dirinya akan diculik dan dijadikan sandera Dia tahu jika Marco Valley adalah musuh kakaknya Dan dia tahu jika Marco Valley terobsesi pada Selena, calon istri kakaknya sendiri “Kau harus berterimakasih padaku setelah ini, Mattie...” Gumam Hiriety Hiriety mengeratkan pegangannya pada gelas kristalnya. Dia berjalan dengan penuh percaya diri menuju sosok pria itu dan.. “Ah....” Dengan polosnya Hiriety menumpahkan sampanye dari gelasnya ke jas hitam mahal yang dikenakan Marco Valley. "...Maaf sir" Hiriety melanjutkan, suaranya lembut, hampir tidak terdengar di tengah musik dan obrolan ramai. Mata abu-abunya yang tajam menatap Marco, tanpa sedikit pun rasa bersalah. Sampanye mahal membasahi jas hitam itu, meninggalkan noda yang mencolok. Marco mengernyit, tangannya terangkat untuk menyentuh jasnya yang basah. Tatapan dinginnya bertemu dengan tatapan Hiriety yang sama dinginnya, bahkan mungkin lebih tajam. Ia mengenal wanita ini, reputasinya mendahului dirinya. "Kau sengaja?" suaranya berat, tertahan. Ia berusaha menahan amarahnya, berusaha untuk tetap tenang. Hiriety tersenyum tipis, senyum yang tidak sampai ke matanya. "Oh, maafkan aku" katanya, suaranya masih lembut, tetapi ada nada sindiran yang tersirat. "Aku sedikit ceroboh." Ia mengangkat gelasnya yang kosong, seolah-olah tidak menyadari betapa mahalnya sampanye yang baru saja ia tumpahkan. Marco memperhatikan gerakannya, setiap detailnya. Wanita ini tidak takut. Ia tahu ini bukan kecelakaan. Ia tahu Hiriety sudah tahu tentang rencananya. Tetapi, mengapa ia membiarkan dirinya didekati? Suasana pesta yang semula dipenuhi dengan suara musik klasik dan tawa ringan tiba-tiba terasa hening di sekitar mereka. Beberapa tamu yang berdiri di dekatnya menahan napas, menunggu reaksi pria yang dikenal memiliki temperamen buruk itu. Hiriety menatap Marco dengan mata abu-abunya yang berkilat penuh kepolosan. “Apa Anda marah, Sir?” katanya dengan nada menyesal yang tidak sepenuhnya tulus. “Jas anda pasti sangat mahal.” Hiriety tidak memberi Marco waktu untuk bereaksi lebih jauh. Dia meraih saputangan dari tas kecilnya dan dengan gerakan halus, menepuk-nepuk noda sampanye di jas Marco. “Walton” gumamnya dengan suara rendah dan dingin. Rahang Marco mengencang, dan tatapannya terangkat, bertemu dengan mata Hiriety yang penuh tantangan. “Sepertinya aku harus bertanggung jawab.” Suaranya terdengar genit, tapi tangannya sengaja bergerak lambat di atas dadanya, menikmati sensasi ketegangan yang ia ciptakan. Marco menangkap pergelangan tangannya dengan cepat, mencengkeramnya cukup erat hingga Hiriety bisa merasakan kekuatan pria itu. “Tanggung jawab?” Marco berbisik rendah, mendekat hingga napasnya hampir menyentuh wajah Hiriety. “Hati-hati dengan kata-katamu, Walton. Aku bisa saja benar-benar menagihnya nanti.” Alih-alih merasa terancam, Hiriety justru tersenyum lebih lebar. “Aku harap begitu, Valley.” Dia melepaskan tangannya dari cengkeraman Marco dengan lembut dan melangkah mundur, meninggalkan pria itu dengan jasnya yang masih basah dan tatapan penuh arti. Hiriety tahu apa yang akan terjadi malam ini. Brak--- Pintu mobil Hiriety ditutup dengan paksa oleh seorang pria yang sejak tadi mengikutinya. Mata abunya hanya melirik sekilas ke arah pria bertubuh besar yang baru saja menutup pintu mobilnya dengan kasar. Tangan Hiriety menahan seorang pria yang hendak membekapnya “Aku harap kalian tidak mengikatku seperti dalam film-film kriminal atau bahkan membuatku tak sadarkan diri” suara Hiriety memecah kesunyian. “Itu terlalu klise. Biarkan aku jalan sendiri” Pria di sampingnya, yang sejak tadi menatapnya tajam, hanya mengangkat sebelah alis. “Kau seharusnya lebih takut, Walton.” Hiriety terkekeh pelan. “Takut?” Ia menoleh, menatap pria itu dengan mata abu-abunya yang berkilat nakal. “Kalian salah menculik orang jika menginginkan kepanikan.” Pria itu tidak menjawab, tetapi sorot matanya mengatakan bahwa ia tidak menyukai kepercayaan diri berlebihan Hiriety. “Jadi.. dimana mobil yang harus kunaiki?” Tanyanya santai Pria di sampingnya tampak ragu sejenak, tapi kemudian melirik ke arah mobil hitam yang terparkir tidak jauh dari mereka. “Masuk” perintahnya dengan suara rendah dan tegas. Hiriety tersenyum kecil sebelum melangkah dengan anggun ke arah mobil tersebut, seolah ia sedang menaiki kendaraan pribadinya, bukan dalam situasi penculikan. Ketika pintu terbuka, ia masuk tanpa ragu dan duduk di kursi belakang dengan santai, menyilangkan kakinya. Salah satu pria bertubuh besar masuk setelahnya, duduk di sampingnya dengan ekspresi waspada. Sementara pria lain menutup pintu dengan kasar sebelum kendaraan mulai melaju, meninggalkan pesta mewah di belakang mereka. Hiriety melirik sekilas ke arah sopir yang berada di depan. “Siapa namamu?” tanyanya ringan. Pria itu tidak menjawab. “Oh, baiklah. Tidak ingin berbasa-basi, ya?” Hiriety terkekeh kecil sebelum menoleh ke arah pria di sampingnya. “Lalu, kapan aku bisa bertemu bos kalian?” Pria itu mendecak, tampak tidak suka dengan sikapnya yang terlalu tenang. “Kau seharusnya berhenti bersikap sombong. Situasi ini bukan dalam kendalimu, Walton.” Hiriety mengangkat bahu. “Memangnya aku terlihat peduli?” Saat itu juga, suara lain terdengar dari kursi depan. Suara yang lebih berat dan dalam. “Sikapmu menyebalkan.” Hiriety menoleh, dan bibirnya langsung melengkung dalam seringai penuh kemenangan. Marco Valley. Akhirnya, pria itu menampakkan diri. “Kenapa tak bilang jika sejak tadi kau duduk disana?” Hiriety menyandarkan kepalanya ke sandaran kursi, menatapnya dengan ekspresi puas. “Aku berharap setidaknya kau memberiku sedikit lebih banyak waktu untuk menikmati pestaku.” Marco tidak merespons leluconnya. Sorot matanya tetap tajam, penuh ketegangan yang tidak bisa dijelaskan. “Kenapa kau tidak terlihat terkejut?” tanyanya datar. Hiriety menautkan jemarinya di pangkuannya, lalu menatap Marco dengan ekspresi penuh arti. “Mungkin karena aku tahu ini akan terjadi.” Dahi Marco sedikit berkerut. “Apa maksudmu?” Alih-alih menjawab, Hiriety hanya tersenyum misterius “Apa kau pikir hanya kau dan Matthias yang menyukai Selena?” Untuk pertama kalinya, Marco menampakan ekspresi yang sangat mudah dibaca, pria itu jelas terkejut “Aku juga menyukai Selena, dan rasa sukaku padanya jauh lebih dalam dari kau ataupun kakakku. Jadi aku takkan membiarkan apapun mengganggu kebahagiannya” Marco menatap Hiriety. Rahangnya mengencang, dan genggaman tangannya di atas lututnya mengepal kuat. “Kau bercanda” gumamnya, tapi nada suaranya terdengar ragu. Hiriety hanya tersenyum, menikmati ekspresi langka dari pria yang selalu berusaha terlihat tidak terpengaruh oleh apa pun. “Apa aku terlihat seperti sedang bercanda, Valley?” katanya sambil menyandarkan punggungnya ke kursi dengan anggun. Hening. Marco menatapnya dalam-dalam, seolah mencoba membaca apa yang ada di balik mata abu-abu wanita itu. Sesuatu tentang caranya berbicara, ekspresi percaya dirinya, membuat Marco merasa ada sesuatu yang lebih besar sedang dimainkan di sini. Marco Valley pikir ia sedang memainkan permainannya sendiri malam ini. Tapi yang tidak ia sadari adalah—Hiriety Berdine Walton telah lebih dulu menyiapkan panggungnya sendiri. Dan Marco? Dia baru saja masuk ke dalamnya.Everything in the world changes. No matter how much you love something and want it to stay, a day will come when it will disappear and you will lose it. Sometimes it is changed, sometimes it is forgotten, but often, it leaves you forever. Like it has to. But in the midst of a very vague world full of changes and endings, there is only one thing I can be sure of, something that always remained. That is a real, passionate, complete love. A love that no matter what one, two, or many people do―will never be destroyed. Because even if you lose this person, even if everything changes for you, you will still love him. Your heart will still beat for him, call him as your heart has always done before, every single day. Even if it's just secretly, even if it's just from the distance, whether you like it or not, if your love is true, your heart will continue to beat for that person. You won’t be able to stop it even for a second. In my entire life, I never thought I would love a man s
"Bes, are you ready?" I asked my best friend Crista.She sat in front of the mirror and fixed her hair. She smiled and faced me, “I am."I smiled back and couldn't help but sigh. Today is the day Troy will introduce Crista to her parents. Troy's family is quite wealthy and as far as I know, Troy's father is running for governor.It has been a year since Crista was released from prison. During those times, Crista's parents took care of Yohan because they didn't want to give him to Troy without Crista. Thanks to the help of Crista and Troy's parents, Crista was released early.I can't help but feel a strange emotion every time I remember what happened before. I feel like my conscience will swallow me every time I think about my past sins. Even my best friend was destroyed because of me.Now Crista's life is changing and I am very happy with what I see."It took you a long time," Troy said when he met Crista and me outside.Crista just smiled and then approached Troy to hold him by the a
A woman was calling me, her soft voice alluring just like her touches were. I felt with every caress of it the intense love that seemed to never fade coming from her. Chasing my breath, I kissed her while applying our lips. The strands of her long hair were left by the rays coming from the round moon from the window. I couldn’t help but pull her even further towards me, kissing me with full joy and excitement.With this woman, my heart is full and overjoyed.I hastened even more in apprehension and excitement to touch her. It felt as though my heart would explode every time she calls my name. Her hands were warm, soft, yet hot all at the same time while grasping at my back. I groaned, reaching my climax as I held her closer. In those moments, I just wanted to feel her whole and I couldn’t understand but gradually felt anxiety in my chest."Troy."I frowned when I heard another woman's voice."Troy, wake up. You're dreaming again..."I slowly opened my eyes. Almost immediately, an un
"I thought you were tired," I told him between moans as he rubbed his erection against my entrance. He bit his lower lip before emitting a groan and coming closer to kiss me on the lips again. “If it’s you, I don’t get tired,” he said before forcing me to open my mouth so his tongue would come in, tasting and devouring all the parts he could reach.Panting, he lifted my thigh up and pushed in. I moaned, feeling Jack’s cock twitching and growing even faster and sinking into me. I clung to his shoulder, becoming a trembling mess for the thousandth time. Soon, Jack picked me up and carried me to the bedroom. Amy was in the other room and was already asleep. "She won’t hear us," Jack reminded me and even told me to just moan if I wanted to.Muddle-headed, I rubbed Jack’s neck and gasped as he suddenly put me on top of him, my entrance enveloping his erection as I sat down. I shuddered a breath as I felt its enormous tip begin to penetrate, its hardness raw and burning as my hips moved
The next day, Jack was finally discharged and we headed home to the condo where Jonah, Gio, and of course, my very cute daughter Amy were waiting. As soon as I saw her, I quickly picked her up and hugged her tightly. I missed my daughter so much and I also felt that she missed me as the entire afternoon that day, she slept on my shoulder and cried whenever I would try to place her back in her crib. "Mars, how about you put Amy down first?” Jonah suggested while drinking coffee.Jack had excused himself earlier, telling all of us that he needed to do something quickly in the office. I told him he needed to take things slow first as he had only been discharged from the hospital but he just wouldn’t budge, saying it had something to do with his boss and his position too. Worried he might lose his job, I let him go but only with the condition that he would be home immediately. Because of that, I was left here with Amy, Jonah, and Gio. "Shh," I replied to Jonah.She took a sip from her
Jack and I couldn’t hide the truth anymore. We had already kept our relationship for too long and in the process, I failed to think about other people’s true feelings about it. Just like Jonah, with whom I should have been honest from the start. Jack was right when he said sooner or later, the people who knew us would know. It was just a matter of time. “There’s no rush. When it comes to these things, don’t think too much,” Jack told me while holding my hand. We were lying side by side on the hospital bed. According to the doctor, he still needed to stay for a few more days to fully recover. Just a few more check-ups and if they had good results, he could go home anytime then. I let out a sigh and glanced at our intertwined hands. When he said he didn’t want to let go of my hand earlier, I didn’t know it would be for this long. I smiled at the thought.Jack… He loves me a lot and I feel the same way about him. But, how far will this love take us?Before I could think any deeper, Ja
