Laura terdiam mendengar ucapan David–pria keturunan West Country yang mengaku sebagai adik angkat almarhum ayahnya.Gadis 21 tahun itu mencoba memproses semua informasi yang sedang terjadi.Baru saja, desanya terkena gempa dan tsunami yang menewaskan hampir seluruh warga, termasuk orang tuanya.Laura termasuk beruntung bisa selamat dari bencana itu karena sedang menempuh semester satu di perguruan tinggi di Sun City–setelah dua tahun mengumpulkan uang sebagai pegawai minimarket.Bila harus pergi kala tanah kuburan mereka masih basah, rasanya sungguh sulit meskipun sebenarnya Laura sudah tidak punya apa-apa lagi di sini.“Laura….” Seolah mengetahui kegelisahannya, seorang pria paruh baya yang merupakan sahabat baik ayahnya tiba-tiba berbicara, "Ikutlah dengan Mas Bule. Bapak yakin Ayahmu pasti bahagia bila kau bertemu dengan adik angkat yang selama ini dia rindukan. Takdir telah membawanya kembali di saat yang tepat.""Tapi, Pak—"Kini sang istri mendekati Laura, lalu memeluk gadis cantik itu dengan penuh kasih sayang. "Kami mengenal baik Nak David. Hubungannya dengan Ayahmu seperti saudara kandung. Jadi, kami sangat yakin, Ayah dan Ibumu pasti bahagia melihatmu menerima tawaran nak David. Raihlah cita-citamu nak. Kau gadis yang pintar dan baik, kembalilah lagi ke desa ini bila kau telah berhasil mewujudkan impianmu, buat Ayah dan Ibumu bangga nak," ucapnya.Mendengar kalimat tulus itu, Laura sontak menangis."Ya. Izinkan aku membalas budi baik Ayahmu yang dulu sudah merawatku dengan baik," ucap David kembali.Meski pria berumur 40 tahun itu sudah menjadi CEO di perusahaan nomor satu di New Capitol, tetapi ia masih ingat jasa sang kakak angkat.Setelah perceraian orang tuanya, David tinggal di desa itu. Sayangnya, sang ayah menyusul tak lama kemudian.Untung saja, kakek Laura dan ayahnya merawat David sampai ia dijemput sang ibu ketika berumur 13 tahun.Namun, David sulit menghubungi kakaknya karena komunikasinya dibatasi sang Ibu. Ia baru bisa mengambil cuti 4 hari yang lalu. Namun terlambat, bencana itu sudah merenggut nyawa kakak angkatnya.Cukup lama mereka hening menanti jawaban Laura, hingga akhirnya helaan napas gadis itu meraih atensi mereka kembali. “Baik, Om. Jika demikian, mohon bantuannya.”Setelah itu, butuh waktu sepuluh hari saja mengurus semua administrasi, hingga Laura kini menginjakkan kaki di kota New Capitol bersama David.Gadis cantik itu masih tak menyangka adik angkat ayahnya ini begitu baik.Tidak hanya “merawatnya”, David memberikan sumbangan fantastis untuk desanya. Dia bahkan mempekerjakan satu orang untuk merawat makam kakak angkatnya beserta sang istri.Tak lama, Mobil MPM berwarna putih keluaran terbaru tiba dan membawa keduanya menuju rumah mewah milik David."Ayo turun," ajak pria itu setelah tiba."Baik Om."Laura pun turun dan berjalan di belakang David.Tak banyak barang yang dibawanya karena omnya itu telah menyiapkan semua kebutuhan Laura.Hanya saja, gadis itu tak mampu menyembunyikan keterkejutan kala matanya menyapu setiap sudut di rumah mewah mewah itu."Ini rumah apa istana? Atau jangan-jangan Om David keturunan Raja?" Laura membatin."David!"Seorang wanita paruh baya yang berpenampilan glamor tiba-tiba datang dan menyapa pria tersebut. Ia tersenyum begitu lebar menyambut putranya.Hanya saja, ekspresinya berubah kala melihat Laura.“Ini…?” tanyanya gantung."Ma, ini Laura yang David ceritakan tempo hari.""Hmmmmm," balasnya dengan gumaman.Meski merasakan wanita itu begitu sinis padanya, tetapi Laura tetap mencoba menyalam ibu dari om angkatnya itu.Sayangnya, ia melalui Laura dan justru menatap David lama. "Sampai kapan dia di sini?"Wanita itu memang tidak menyukai rencana David membawa Laura ke West Country.Tapi, David tidak peduli dan tetap membawa anak dari kakak angkatnya tersebut."Bik," panggil David."Iya Tuan, ada yang bisa Bibik bantu?" tanya sang kepala pelayan dalam bahasa Indonesia.Di rumah mewah itu, memang ada tiga pelayan yang berasal dari Indonesia. Selebihnya, pelayan di rumah itu berasal dari New Capitol."Tolong antarkan Laura ke dalam kamarnya ya, Bik," ucapnya memberi perintah, “biarkan dia beristirahat dulu.”"Baik Tuan," jawab sang pelayan."Mari Nona, ikut Bibi," imbuhnya lagi.Laura pun dibawa masuk ke sebuah kamar mewah yang berada persis di sebelah tangga di lantai satu.Kebetulan, kamar itu biasanya digunakan tamu bila sang Mama ataupun David membawa teman untuk menginap di rumah mereka.Tadinya, David ingin mengajak Laura tidur di kamar yang ada di lantai dua. Hanya saja, demi menghindari keributan dengan sang mama, David pun mengalah.Drrt!Ponsel David berbunyi.Pria itu berbicara dengan wajah serius, sebelum berkata pada sang ibu. "Ma, David mau siap-siap ke kantor dulu ya.""Iya sayang," jawab sang mama.Hanya saja, seringai licik terbit di wajah wanita tua itu sambil menatap punggung sang anak yang semakin menjauh.*******"Bagun, gadis bodoooooooooh!"Laura yang baru saja terlelap akibat jet lag–tiba-tiba terbangun.Dia kaget melihat Mama dari David tampak murka."A–ada apa Tante?" tanya Laura berusaha tenang."Tante, katamu? Panggil aku Nyonya!" bentaknya.Wanita itu mendekati ranjang Laura, hingga ia refleks menghindar.Sayangnya, telapak tangan wanita itu lebih cepat menjepit rahang mungil Laura."Kau hanya akan diperlakukan baik bila ada David di rumah, tapi selebihnya kau hanya sampah! Dasar wanita kampung dan miskin! Berani sekali memperalat anakku!" teriaknya."Sekarang lakukan pekerjaan layaknya pelayan di rumah ini!" perintahnya lagi.Setelahnya, ia menghempaskan tubuh Laura sampai terjatuh di lantai."Ingat ya, jangan pernah mengatakan apapun pada David! Bila tidak, aku pastikan hidupmu seperti di neraka!" ancamnya lalu pergi meninggalkan Laura yang menahan tangis.I was sitting on my bed, thinking how cruel Taylor was because he was involved to kill Celine Young. I tried to remember all mistakes that I had when I was with him. The more I remember, the more I found no mistake in me.I was a good worker, and I always did my job well. I was never late for work, and I always met my deadlines. I was also a team player, and I was always willing to help out my colleagues.I couldn't understand why Taylor would want to kill me. I had never done anything to him. I was just a new employee, trying to make a good impression. I even did not decide to resign for my dream as a writer to fulfil his dream developing the start up. I looked at the window, pulling out the curtain. I was looking at the moon. The shine of the moon reminded me to the werewolf pack where I was supposed to be. "No, I can not live as Luna before I reveal who killed me," I said, clenched my fists.*** It was cold that night. The shine of the moon was also the one which the alpha saw.
Taylor's eyes widened slightly as he took in my words. He seemed to be surprised by my boldness, but also intrigued."What are you saying?" he asked, his voice husky."I'm saying that I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get this job. I can be your assistant, your confidante, your lover... whatever you need," I said, my voice dropping even lower.I could see the heat rising in Taylor's cheeks as he stared at me. He seemed to be struggling to maintain his composure."Are you sure about this?" he asked. "This is a very risky proposition.""I'm sure," I said. "I've wanted you ever since I first met you. And now that I have the chance, I'm not going to let it go."Taylor took a deep breath. "Okay," he said. "I'll give you the job. But on one condition.""What's that?" I asked."You have to be discreet," he said. "No one can know about this. Not even your friends.""I understand," I said. "I'll be discreet.""Good," he said. "Welcome to the team."He reached out and shook my hand, and I
A fake identity has been created.Jane Evelyn. A name that is convincing enough to enter the company owned by Taylor Thompson. After I died, my position was no longer filled by anyone. The start-up company opens vacancies to meet the needs of the vacant workforce.I have sent the documents and job application letter and today as Jane Evelyn, not Celine Young anymore. I will undergo the interview process."You are ready?" asked Beatrix at her doorstep."AH,,, this feels so weird. I have to be interviewed to get into a company where I've worked there since they were built," I said.The woman laughed crisply."Taylor and Ella have probably seen you and seen all your craziness where you claim to be the dead Celine Young. However, I'm sure if you introduced yourself as Jane Evelyn it would make more sense to them," Beatrix said."It still feels weird, to me. I had to adjust to being someone else this time.""That's right. You can't show your personality as Celine Young. Jane Evelyn is a f
"WHAT???"Out of every detail of the story I told Beatrix, I think that part about the werewolf and his life is the part that human reason can't believe the most. However, the woman actually wanted to enter into that fantasy that didn't make sense."Why do you want me to put you in the werewolf world? Is it because you don't trust me?" I asked.Beatrix looked like a nervous person after hearing my question."Ri..right," her answered haltingly.I caught Beatrix's eyes which seemed to be avoiding me. What is this? Why do I feel as though Beatrix knows that the werewolf world is real? Or is it just my feeling? No! Impossible! Any normal human wouldn't believe what I just told you."Celine Young, if what you say is true, prove it to me. Tell me where Serenade Moon is," Beatrix begged."WHAT??? Serenade Moon?" I shouted.I haven't even told that part yet. I just told him about the werewolf world that suddenly dragged me into it. However, I haven't told her about the name of this pack of we
"If you are Celine Young just because you feel you are Celine Young, then I am Emma Watson as well..." said Beatrix, my only best friend that I am currently relying on."You are not listening to me. I don't even know how to make you believe that I am the person you have known all along. I didn't do p
"Did you do plastic surgery?" she asked.The woman walked around me with a suspicious look. No one had done anything like that before. I felt like a suspect in a murder case being interrogated by a police officer."Beatrix... it's me, Celine. You won't believe it. Same. I can't believe what happened t
Sun left the sky as I wonder how to find out why I am killed and who killed me. As Jane Evelyn, my life seems perfect. However, I could not deny that my soul still attached to Celine's death. As far as I remember, I never had any enemy before.Darkness accompanies me to take the journey to Greenia. I
Jane Evelyn, I described her in my novel as someone who moved Serenade Moon's heart. Its existence is crucial in the midst of the entire werewolf pack's life. I described this woman as an intelligent and wise figure.Now, I have to play the role of that woman while figuring everything out. I wonder i
