The Caged Bird
She felt like a caged bird. A bird that was meant to fly the high, blue skies, but was trapped like a prized possession for her master to impress others with.
Ava is the daughter of a very powerful man in the underworld. Her blood, her family name makes her a tool for others to gain more power. Greedy men want her for her name, not for who she is. Being locked up all her life in her father's house makes her naïve and ignorant of the outside world. Meaning the greedy men have an easy game to play.

"Aku memberimu kebebasan untuk mencintaiku, karena itulah tugasmu sebagai budak. Tapi ingat, jangan mengharapkan yang sebaliknya. Karena aku akan memberikanmu apapun itu, selain cinta."Nathalie berharap ia bisa melakukan hal itu, tapi nyatanya tidak. Hatinya yang lemah tetap saja mengharapkan balasan untuk cintanya yang usang.Apakah ... mencintai memang semenyakitkan ini?
Why
Sebuah tanya selalu menghampiri seorang wanita bernama Aina Anindya, semenjak sadar dari koma. Ia terlihat mulai berubah, bukan soal ia meninggalkan kewajibannya sebagai seorang istri. Tapi, sebuah tanya dalam hati yang tidak menemukan sebuah titik terang dan jawaban. Mengingat ia kehilangan sebagian memori ingatannya beberapa bulan belakangan.
Ya, semenjak ia mengalami kecelakaan ia kehilangan separuh ingatannya beberapa bulan belakang, dan juga lumpuh. Tapi, hatinya seolah jujur. Ia mengingat setiap perlakuan orang-orang yang menyakitinya, dengan cara ia merasakan semua perlakuan orang terdekatnya. Hingga tanpa sadar terkadang ia tiba-tiba marah, lalu menangis dalam diam.
Aina adalah sosok wanita ceria, dan selalu berpikiran positif. Namun, semua berubah ia akan bersikap dingin, tapi dengan caranya sendiri, hingga tidak satu pun orang tahu atau menyadari jika hatinya tidak mudah di setuh lagi, oleh orang-orang yang bersikap munafik padanya.
Hingga Aina lebih sering tersenyum palsu, dan ia begitu pintar menyembunyikan rasa sakit dalam hatinya. Sekalipun dengan keterbatasannya ketika ia memakai kursi roda, ia terus berusaha mengingat semua. Sebenarnya ada rahasia besar apa, yang membuatnya tiba-tiba menangis dalam diam. Kenapa ia begitu terluka ketika menatap orang-orang yang selalu bersikap baik padanya.
Ketika di rumah, Aina merasa senang sekaligus bersyukur ketika orang yang begitu ia cintai sepenuh hati, dan sayangi begitu memperhatikan keadaannya. Tapi, tetap saja. Hatinya terlalu jujur, dan tidak menerima kebaikan orang-orang terdekatnya.
Mampukah Aina mengingat semua kejadian beberapa bulan yang lalu, hingga hatinya menaruh benci pada orang yang ia cintai, dan kasihi. Mampukah ia bertahan dengan keadaannya, dan rasa sakit yang tidak ia mengerti.

Little Bird
There is no Prince Charming in my world.
Only beasts who claw and fight their way through the masses to get to the top.
I was always told that I was a prize. A treasure to be cherished. My lineage was a desired treasure, a prize worth spilling blood for.
Many would stop at nothing to claim the honour of being the one to leave their mark upon me, to impregnate me and forever intertwine our fates.
A child born from me would possess a level of power that surpasses anything they have ever experienced or witnessed.
I could never fully comprehend it until Ace Ripley came into my life revealing secrets that would forever alter my way of life.
He was a man whom I believed to be our sworn enemy and when he takes my virginity, that's when everything changes and this brutal, ruthless man decides that he wants to keep me for himself.
His to worship.
His to pleasure.
His to corrupt.
Even if that means going to war with his best friend. My father.

When a eighteen-year-old virgin decided to leave Louisiana, her home town for Texas, an alien town she was oblivious that the journey of her independence would become one of longing for a man's love and attention.
With her love built on a misconception, she was unaware that Charles Jackson; the multi-billionaire, was an egocentric, cold-hearted, proud and unforgiving man who locked his heart to love, the aftermath of the brute conditions under which he grew up.
But yet, Maureen Thompson was bent on earning her bosses attention at all cost. Though not pushy or... flirty, she developed partial-obsessive tendencies; one that kept her dwindling in the thoughts of having sex with him—even as a virgin!
Forgoing his harsh countenance, overly exaggerated reactions, she envisions Charles in the portrait of cold-nineteenth century men that spew flavors of love to their lovers—indoor. But Charles Jackson, built in grace and glamor, could win a medal in egocentrism, rudeness malevolence, prudishness and of course, beauty!
And yet, she judged his reactions to the plane crash wrongly, unaware that December had scared his heart. It appeared that the plane crash became memorable either through breaking hearts or eventually mending them. Be it the crash itself or the incidents after the crash, it changed people's lives and Maureen was not left out. In readiness to be true to her love, Maureen ignored warnings and hit the wrong target.
Lurking in the shadows of her emotions and fated to be bewitched by perfect blue eyes that defies morality, she might discover that Charles Jackson, heir to Jackson Companies PLC and CEO of Westland Airlines was truly born of STONE and FROST. And worse, everything that she believed might just be a lie!
