LOGINWith him she is wild; and with her, he is tamed. Roxette Bennett wanted revenge. What she found was passion, obsession, danger... and a love that could destroy them both. She fell first but he fell hard. “Do you like this, baby?” he whispers, brushing his thumb across my hardened nipple, dragging circles over my stomach as my body melts. I bit down on my lip, and a small whimper escapes, feeling a burning sting at the center between my legs. “Oh no Baby, I love your beautiful moans but I will need your full permission. I can’t go further unless you say it,” he breathes, his possessive gaze locked on mine I swallowed. “Please, touch me” I breathe, feeling an aching need for this man. Then a dark growl, “How?” “Anyhow you want to, Daddy.” She’s young, curious, and just 22. He’s 39—intense and a very powerful man.She wanted control--until he took it. After her boyfriend is killed in a hit-and-run, Roxette Bennett is shattered—until she meets the driver, Sarah McLain, a powerful law professor living her best life without any guilt. Roxy wants revenge. She transfers to Gould University to destroy Sarah the only way she knows how—by seducing her cold, brilliant husband, billionaire attorney Aaron West. But Aaron is no pawn—he’s a storm. And once Roxy steps into his world, she can’t escape. Every kiss is a lie. Every touch, a betrayal. And every moment with him pulls her deeper into the fire. And yet, neither of them can walk away. Then there's Nick—wealthy, kind, and everything Aaron isn’t. He offers her safety. Peace and a way out. But when a devastating secret about her late boyfriend and an unexpected pregnancy surface, Roxy must choose: Revenge,love or freedom?

Pasalnya umik datang bersama Gus Azam dan abah membawa lamaran. Tentulah wanita mana yang tak bahagia mendapat lamaran dari Gus Azam yang terkenal dengan wajah tampannya. Lebih dari itu, tutur bahasa dan akhlaknya begitu lembut, kesopanan yang membuatku terkagum dengan sosok gus muda tersebut. Aku mengintip dari balik tembok melihat Gus Azam duduk di lantai beralaskan karpet. Dia selalu seperti itu setiap datang ke rumah kami, duduk di bawah sementara di kursi ada orang yang lebih tua, padahal ami dan abi sudah menyuruhnya untuk duduk di atas, ia selalu menolak.“Ya Allah Dik Farrah, ini beneran to? Ndak mimpi?” Ami begitu antusias, senyum merekah dari kedua wanita yang sangat kusayangi itu.“Loh ya beneran to, Mbak. Lha wong ini udah direncanain ana sama Kang Husein lama.” Abah ikut menimpali.Persahabatan mereka memang terjalin sejak dulu. Abah dan abi teman dekat, sama-sama mendirikan pesantren milik abah saat mereka muda, tetapi sekarang abi memilih mengurus Aliyah yang ia dirikan sendiri.“Sek ya, tak panggilin anak-anak.” Ami tergesa hendak ke dapur. Aku bergegas kembali ke meja makan mengaduk minuman yang sudah kusiapkan, berpura-pura tidak tahu pembicaraan mereka.“Dik Halwa, Mbak Hasna, Nduk sini cepet.” Ami melambai tangan pada Mbak Hasna yang masih di depan wastafel. Aku membantu Mbak Hasna mendorong kursi rodanya dan menuju ami. Mbak Hasna sudah lama tak bisa berjalan, semua aktivitasnya harus menggunakan kursi roda.“Ada apa to Mi, kok seneng banget, kayak dapat emas sekarung aja,” ucap Mbak Hasna yang belum tahu tentang rencana umik dan abah.“Sudah, ayo kita keluar dulu, Mbak Hasna biar sama Ami, Nduk. Dik Halwa bawa minumannya.”Aku mengangguk dan kembali mengambil minuman di atas meja, tak lupa kusiapkan kue buatanku dan Mbak Hasna pagi tadi.Kusajikan minuman dan kue di atas meja, “Monggo, Umik, Abah, Gus.”“Nggeh, Nduk. matur suwun, kok repot-repot.” Umik membantuku menurunkan kue yang ada di nampan.“Kue buatan anak-anak ini Dik. Mereka lagi kursus masak online sama sif yang terkenal itu loh. Sif siapa Nduk? Amik lupa, Pinguin, eh… Sarah Kuin, siapa itu?”“Sef yang di tv itu, Yu? Yang dulu sering kita nonton waktu ngekos itu?”“Iya, yang sampean pingin banget bisa belajar masak sama dia itu loh Dik.”“Chef Mi bukan sif, Chef Farah Quin bukan pinguin, pinguin yang di kutub utara,” jawab Mbak Hasna yang disambut tawa oleh semuanya.“Lha itu, sif eh Chef yang cantik banget itu. Sif sama Chef lak yo sama aja to Nduk.” Ami ikut tertawa.Aku tersenyum puas saat melihat mereka dengan lahap memakan kue buatanku dan Mbak Hasna.“Enak yo Bah, ini kalau punya mantu pinter buat kue bisa naik lagi gula darah Umik.” Umik kembali mengambil sepotong roti dengan taburan keju melimpah dan juga coklat di tumpukan roti bagian tengah.“Umik Ndak usah makan, biar Abah sama Azam aja. Wong Umik kalau lihat kayak beginian gak bisa tahan,” cetus abah."Ndak papa Bib, yang penting ndak kelewatan. Sayang to kalau punya mantu pinter masak ndak bisa nikmati," balas abi.Melihat keakraban mereka yang sudah seperti kakak dan adik kandung membuatku senyum senyum sendiri, kekeluargaan yang sejatinya terjalin dari tolong menolong.“Nduk, ini Abah sama Umik kesini mau mengirim lamaran untuk kalian berdua.” Abah menaruh secangkir teh hangat yang ada dalam genggamannya. “Agam ndak bisa datang, dia masih di luar kota,” sambung abah lagi.Batinku tak tenang, aku pikir abah dan umik hanya mengirim lamaran untuk Gus Azam ternyata juga untuk pemuda tengil itu. Ah, mana mungkin Mbak Hasna menikah dengan bocah tengil itu, bagaimana nasib kakakku nanti.Aduh, mana berani Mbak Hasna menolak, terlebih ia akan memikirkan ami dan abi, pastinya ia akan pasrah menerima bocah tengil yang tak punya sopan santun itu.Agam, aku tak begitu mengenal sosok itu. Menurut kabar di pesantren abah, Agam merupakan pemuda yang susah diatur, abah dan umik saja kewalahan mengaturnya yang tak seperti lelaki idamanku, Gus Azam. Agam memang berbeda dari kakaknya yang lebih memfokuskan diri di pesantren dan memperdalam ilmu agama.“Le, cepat bicara jangan malu-malu,” ucap Umik pada Gus Azam yang masih terdiam menunduk sesekali melirik aku dan Mbak Hasna.“Njeh Mi. Ngapunten, Bi, Mi, Azam berniat mengkhitbah salah satu putri Abi sama Ami. insyaallah Azam akan jadikan istri sehidup sesurga, semoga Allah meridhai.”Duh Gusti… dari cara bicaranya yang lembut membuat hati semakin berbunga-bunga.Mbak Hasna menyenggol lenganku, aku tersipu malu. Mbak Hasna tahu jika aku mengagumi Gus Azam sejak kami datang berkunjung ke pesantren umik dan abah.“Insyaallah,” jawab abi.“Azam ingin mengkhitbah Dik Hasna dan menjadikannya istri Azam.” Gus azam memandang Mbak Hasna dengan senyuman, kemudian kembali menatap abi dan ami bergantian.Mendengar ucapan Gus Azam, seketika senyum di bibirku memudar. Nama yang ia sebut 'Dik Hasna'.ROXY's POV “Thank you for coming to the salon with me,” Sarah said. I smiled, even though my heart was still kind of unsure. Everything about today felt unreal. I mean, I was in a salon with Sarah McLain.... my married professor. The same woman whose husband I… kissed. It was all too much. The whole place sparkled like it was made of stars. Big gold mirrors, fancy lights, and women who looked like they belonged in magazines. I sat quietly, pretending I wasn’t out of place. “Of course, Sarah,” I said softly. “It’s a real pleasure being here. I’ve never actually been to a salon before.” As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted them. Why would I say that? That sounded so lame. Like, what girl hasn’t been to a salon? “What?” She snorted. “How?” All eyes turned to me. Even the stylist behind me paused. God, I wanted the chair to swallow me whole. “Well, Catherine.... my mom.... always took care of our hair. Rosie and I.” I looked away. Saying my mom’
Roxy’s POVI had just finished fourth period and was heading straight to work. My backpack felt like it weighed a ton, and my head was still spinning from the last lecture. Thank God I didn’t have a class with Sarah today. I’d been avoiding her like the plague.Not because she did anything wrong. But because I don’t trust myself with her right now. Not after that kiss with her husband.My lips were still tingling just a little. I bit down softly like I could tell them to behave. But honestly, it felt like I could still taste him. Feel him. Ugh. Focus, Roxy. Work. Just get to work.And then, totally unexpected.Like a scene out of some fancy movie, I saw the black Maybach parked by the sidewalk. Her Maybach.Of course.Sarah.She lowered her sunglasses and smiled like we were besties on a coffee run.“Hi girl,” she said brightly, waving me over.Girl?I tried not to let it show, but something about that made my shoulders tighten. My professor calling me ‘girl’ just felt…off. Like she w
Roxy’s POV Rosie was at it again, her long red hair tied up in a messy bun, crouched low beside her dad’s old Thunderbird. Her jeans were smeared with grease, her hands black, face shiny with sweat, but she looked totally focused. Like this car could actually come back to life if she willed it hard enough. I sat in the passenger seat, door open, one leg hanging out, tapping my hand against the steering wheel. She grunted as something clanked loudly under the hood. “Rosie,” I said. “Hold on,” she muttered, disappearing deeper into the engine like she was crawling inside it. The air smelled like rust, gasoline, and summer. My leg bounced. I had something to say, and it was eating me alive. I tapped again. “Rosie.” Nothing. She wiped her forehead with the back of her wrist. “Come on, baby,” she whispered to the engine like it could hear her. “Just one little growl for mama.” Why am I sitting here in this truck watching her waste her time as usual. Yes because I nee
Aaron’s POVI had just stepped out of the shower, towel hanging low on my hips, running another through my damp hair. The mirror was foggy, but her image was clear in my head.Roxette Bennett.Sarah’s student.Her soft lips. That petite little body. Those dark eyes that looked like they could see right through me. Her voice still echoed in my ears from the elevator. God, I wanted her.I wanted to make her mine.In my bed.Damn it, Aaron.What the hell are you even thinking?She’s just a girl.Sarah’s student. Sarah’s favorite student.I can’t do this. I’m not that man. The one who needed to control, to dominate. I buried him a long time ago.“Hey, baby,” Sarah’s voice cut through my thoughts. I hadn’t even heard her come in. Her arms wrapped around me from behind, her hands sliding over my chest.“I missed you. Work was crazy today. But now I’m home. And you… you smell so damn good,” she whispered, pressing her lips into my back.I wanted to respond. I really did. But all I could thin
