10 Ramalan Jayabaya

아빠를 보호하려고 나는 악당들에게 무려 10시간 동안 고문을 당했다. 그런데 아빠는 입양딸의 18번째 생일을 축하하고 있었다. 죽기 전에 나는 아빠에게 전화를 걸었다. “아빠, 오늘 내 생일이기도 한데 생일 축하해 줄 수 있어요?” “너는 미친 짐승이야. 생일을 새려고 네 엄마를 죽였어. 그런데도 생일을 챙기려고? 그냥 죽어버려!” 말을 마친 아빠는 주저 없이 전화를 끊어버렸다. 다음 날, 내 시체는 화분에 담겨 경찰서 문 앞에 놓였다. 아빠는 부검을 담당했다. 아빠는 범인이 복수심에 불타 있고, 극히 잔인한 방법으로 경찰의 위엄에 도전했다는 것을 알아차렸다. 하지만 그는 죽은 사람이 그가 가장 미워하는 딸임을 알아채지 못했다.

Grace Monroe was a supermodel who walked away from the runway to build something real… her own sustainable fashion line. When billionaire hedge fund manager Carter Vaughn pursued her relentlessly, she believed she'd found a partner who saw beyond her face. Three years into their marriage, she discovers sex videos of Carter with multiple women, including her former best friend Stella. But the real devastation comes when she finds a contract: Carter married her as part of a bet with his elite boys' club… the first to stay married to a "perfect 10" for three years wins fifty million dollars. She was never a wife. She was a wager. Grace takes the scorched-earth divorce settlement and disappears. What Carter doesn't know: she's pregnant with twins. Grace returns as the founder of GRACE, a feminist fashion empire built on her viral campaign exposing "trophy culture." She's on magazine covers with her twin boys, August and James, refusing to name their father. She's wealthy, powerful, and untouchable. Carter's reputation is destroyed, his boys' club dissolved in scandal, and his fortune is crumbling from boycotts and bad investments. But when Carter discovers the twins are his… through a morally questionable secret DNA test—everything changes. He's not the man who made that bet anymore. Prison time for securities fraud, the loss of everything he valued, and watching Grace become the woman he prevented her from being has broken and rebuilt him. Now he wants his family back. Can a man who treated her as a commodity learn to truly love? Can she risk her sons' hearts on the father who didn't know they existed? And when Carter's former friends try to destroy Grace's empire to punish Carter, will she let him fight beside her or will she prove she never needed saving?

(C/W: 18+ only; mafia romance, explicit, stepfather/stepson, age gap, power imbalance, and violence) “I'm warning you, put yourself together” my stepfather and trainer growls with his forearm against my throat, but I am not afraid. “And if I don't?“ I challenge, omega blue eyes flashing, teasing him to take what he already owns. “Asher, I pull you apart in ways you have never imagined” he say, deep voice sending ripples down my spine. “Do it” I whisper and his lips come crashing down on mine, hot and punishing. ********* Asher Adams was born into privilege and problems; the first problem is that he's one of the 10% of exotic male omegas that shouldn't exist, his second problem is that his father died. Gerald Adam sudden death left behind a debt, a crumbling mafia clan and a clueless omega son who is thrust into the dark world of the mafias overnight. Asher was never supposed to know about the dark side but as first son, he has to save his mother and siblings. He has to step up and fill his father's shoes. Has to marry a wealthy alpha to keep his family legacy and he has to continue his father's sins. While he is willing to save his family, he doesn't want to be married off to an alpha that he doesn't want. He wants to be with the stranger that ruined him after a one night stand, the man that fucked him so good that he saw heaven... He shouldn’t still want him after finding out that the stranger is his father’s right-hand man, his trainer, and his new stepfather. But he does. It's twisted, it's wrong but he doesn't want to silence the thirst. One wrong choice could destroy everything. But resisting him might destroy Asher first.

After connecting to a call hosted on a treasure-appraisal livestream, I find out that the "Fields of Freedom" stamp my grandpa has left me with is worth 10 million dollars. I've been troubled as to how I should afford my upcoming wedding with my girlfriend, Danielle Dalton. Delighted by the news, I call Danielle to tell her about it. Unexpectedly, Danielle, who's always such a prude about physical contact to the point that she refuses to let me kiss her, turns up on my doorstep that night. She spends the night draining me of my stamina with her skills and body. When I wake up once again, both Danielle and my stamp are gone. I visit Danielle's home to get my stamp back. But her father instantly shoves me out of the door angrily. "We don't welcome you here! Get lost right now!" At first, I thought there was a misunderstanding between us, so I still held back on my rudeness. But when I notice how rude Danielle's father is being to me, I decide to go all out on him. "Sure, I can leave, but you must return the stamp Danielle has stolen from me—" Before I can finish speaking, someone has dumped a bucket of ice-cold water onto my face. It turns out that the culprit is Danielle's mother. As she carries the bucket, she scowls at me, her features completely twisted. "Who the hell did you claim to have stolen your stamp, huh? Don't you dare run your mouth without any proof! I'll definitely sue you, you know!" Having realized how vile Danielle's parents actually are, I can't help but feel a strong hint of relief. Thank goodness I had only shown Danielle a fake copy of the stamp last night.

At 10:00 pm sharp, a food deliveryman wearing a cap knocks on the door of Unit 502. "Excuse me, are you the one who ordered delivery?" Unit 502 is an apartment that's rented out to multiple people. There are three rooms here altogether. The one opening the door is my roommate, William Yates. He has his headphones on and is currently immersed in a game. So, he waves a hand impatiently. "It wasn't me." The deliveryman wastes no time in pulling out a machete. Immediately, he slashes William's throat in one fluid motion. Next, the deliveryman opens the door leading to another bedroom while holding the takeout. "Did you order delivery?" That room belongs to a gym trainer named Leon Holton. He's obviously taken aback by the deliveryman's presence. "Nope. Who are—" The deliveryman doesn't give Leon a chance to finish his question. He reacts by plunging the machete into Leon's heart. When I'm done with my shower, I open the bathroom door to see large puddles of blood on the floor as well as the deliveryman, who's wielding a machete. "They weren't the ones who ordered delivery. Did you do it?" Scared out of my wits, I subconsciously shake my head. "It's not me! I don't know anything—" Before I can finish speaking, the deliveryman hacks me to death. When I open my eyes again, I've gone back five minutes in time before I get murdered in cold blood. Almost immediately, I rush out of the bathroom, only to see the alarmed expressions plastered all over William's and Leon's faces. That's when I'm certain that everyone has gotten reborn. Suddenly, the doorbell rings loudly. A suppressed masculine voice echoes afterward. "Excuse me, are you the one who ordered delivery?"

My name is Christian Thompson, and once upon a time, I was the best striker in European football. That was until he came along—Ashford Ryder, young and carefree, 10 years my junior and the new shining star. I hate him. At least that's what I tell myself. Not just because he's taken my spot, but because he's everything I've struggled all my life to be, and not to be. He's vibrant, he's happy, and the worst of all, he's openly gay. I'm not homophobic, quite the opposite—I've lived in the closet all my life. All my life, I've had to hide who I am to please the people around me. European football hasn't always been this accepting of gay men, and I'd squeezed myself into a box to fit in with what they wanted of me. It isn’t that hard when you think about my family who'd rather disown me than have an openly gay son. So imagine how I feel when the world decides to be more accommodating to people like Ashford Ryder when they shoved me in a box. It's not so easy to hate the happy-go-lucky striker, when he does everything to get close to me, despite my insistent hatred for him. He's like a thorn in my side—a hot, sexy, blonde, 5ft9 thorn I can't stop thinking about. But when one day I lose my cool around the popular striker and land myself in bad press, I end up needing his help. It's supposed to be easy. Spend some time with Ashford Ryder, and show our fans that we can work together—it's what I need to do to save my career. But no one tells you how hard it is to hate someone you spend every waking hour dreaming about.

Di bagian timur Kota New York ada dua ahli waris. Satu adalah maniak kecepatan yang mendominasi arena balap, satu lagi adalah aktuaris genius yang mengendalikan arus modal. Keduanya berasal dari keluarga terpandang dan sifat mereka berbeda jauh. Namun, mereka tumbuh bersama sejak kecil dan menjadi satu-satunya sahabat sejati. Mereka pernah berebut perhatian seorang gadis, juga berselisih karena taruhan di arena balap. Namun, saat berusia 15 tahun, mereka sama-sama menggantungkan sebuah lencana tembaga di dada. Itu adalah hasil latihan ukiran tangan dari Mia di kelas kerajinan, dengan sebuah huruf "M" yang tergores di bagian belakang. Saat itu, Mia duduk di bangku paling belakang kelas. Tak seorang pun tahu siapa identitas dia sebenarnya. Namun, kedua laki-laki itu mengenakan lencana tersebut selama 10 tahun penuh. Entah itu saat berdiri di podium juara F1 atau saat mengetukkan palu pada investasi triliunan di bursa, lencana tembaga murahan itu selalu menempel di dada mereka dan tak pernah tergantikan. Sampai akhirnya muncul Ella. Putri kesayangan dari keluarga konglomerat baru. Ella menyulam sebuah emblem kain berhiaskan benang emas dan memberikannya kepada mereka. Kain itu cuma benda biasa yang mirip dengan pernak-pernik murahan yang dijual di pasar loak. Namun, mereka malah sama-sama melepas lencana tembaga itu dan menggantinya dengan kain murahan yang diberikan Ella. Mia tidak mengatakan apa pun. Dia hanya diam-diam menyimpan foto lama mereka yang tercetak di sebuah koran usang. Malam itu juga, dia menelepon ayahnya yang jauh di Sisilia. Nada bicaranya sangat tenang saat berkata, "Papa, aku menerima pernikahan politik ini."

Di hari pernikahan, pacarku Hubert menyuruh orang mengusirku dari aula pernikahan, lalu masuk sambil bergandengan tangan dengan sahabat masa kecilnya. Aku terduduk di lantai dengan tak percaya, bunga pernikahan yang tadinya ada di tanganku hancur lebur di lantai, tapi dia bahkan tidak melirikku. "Anak Yuna butuh seorang ayah. Setelah situasi lebih tenang, aku akan menikahimu." Semua orang mengira aku yang begitu setia akan rela menunggunya sebulan lagi. Bagaimanapun juga, aku sudah menunggu pernikahan ini selama tujuh tahun. Tapi malam itu, aku melakukan sesuatu yang tak terbayangkan .... Aku menyetujui pernikahan yang diatur orang tuaku, lalu segera pergi ke luar negeri. Tiga tahun kemudian, aku pulang ke negara ini untuk menjenguk orang tua. Suamiku Leandro kini adalah presiden perusahaan multinasional. Karena mendadak ada rapat penting, dia khusus menyuruhku pergi ke kantor cabang dalam negeri dulu. Dia bahkan menyuruh bawahannya untuk menyambutku. Tak disangka, bawahan itu ternyata Hubert yang sudah tiga tahun tidak bertemu. Sekilas saja Hubert melihat cincin yang berkilauan di jari tanganku. "Itu 'kan model tiruan dari cincin yang dibeli Pak Leandro dengan harga 10 miliar untuk istrinya? Tak disangka setelah beberapa tahun tak jumpa, kamu malah jadi begitu mengejar gengsi." "Kamu sudah ngambek cukup lama, harusnya sudah puas. Pulanglah! Anak Yuna sudah masuk usia sekolah, pas sekali bisa kamu yang antar makanan tiap hari." Aku tidak mengatakan apa-apa, hanya mengusap cincin itu dengan perlahan. Hubert tidak tahu, ini adalah cincin dengan permata paling murah dari sekian banyak permata yang pernah Leandro berikan padaku.

He is a 10 but he is a decade older than me, my brother’s best friend, a therapist who wants to counsel me and... he likes to hurt little girls like me. “What were you doing this morning?” “I was meditating.” He is right. I am a terrible liar. Aiden raised his eyebrows. “Is that so?” He waited for my answer, crossing his arms over his chest. I got distracted by the way his biceps bulged. He noticed me staring. I glanced down at my lap, twiddling my thumbs. “Y-yes, Doctor Aiden, I was meditating and I-I focused on my breath like you taught me—” “Why are you lying to me, Ivy?” My head snapped at him. “I-I am not lying.” Aiden tilted his head and my throat went dry when he said, “Then why did I hear your voice moaning my name when you orgasmed with your fingers inside you?" He is her first love. She is his best friend's little sister. Will a chance reunion lead to true love? I was a good girl. An honor student. A dutiful daughter, sister and a sweet girlfriend to my boyfriend until I found him in my best friend’s bed. I didn’t want goody-two-shoe nice boys who gave me empty promises. What I wanted was a man who wouldn’t hurt me. When I found my brother’s best friend, Aiden Stone, with only a towel around his hot Greek body dripping wet from a shower, I decided that what I wanted, what I had been wanting for years, was him. The only problem? He is a decade older than me, my brother’s best friend, a therapist who wants to counsel me and... he likes to hurt little girls like me.
