Giselle Shaw, the intern, has sent a five-dollar bonus to the company's group chat that has 500 members in it. I get crowned as the luckiest person for being able to claim 20 cents from the bonus. So, Giselle tags me in the group chat immediately. "Hey Rebecca! Since you're the luckiest person in the group chat, why don't you send a bonus here? There are 500 people in this group chat altogether, so you can just send 5,000 dollars here. "5,000 dollars isn't much for you, right? It so happens to be the bonus you've received from Mr. Gallagher because of the project you've secured. You can send us the bonus so that we can get some good luck from you!" The moment I refuse, Giselle begins playing the pity card in the group chat by claiming that she can't reap good luck for everyone in the company. My boyfriend, Vincent Gallagher, rushes into my office and starts berating me angrily. "Rebecca Campbell, just how stingy are you to not want to send a five-thousand-dollar bonus to the group chat despite being a higher-up in this company? You even made a young woman cry! Is this how you do things? "You'd better send a 50-thousand-dollar bonus to the group chat right now and write a five-thousand-word apology letter by hand! I want you to sincerely apologize to Giselle as well! Otherwise, I'll break up with you! You can forget about retaining your position in this company, too!"

“ Flower sudah mati! yang berdiri di hadapanmu, wanita bernama Shaylenna yang liar dan panas di ranjang ... “ Rose Flower. Gadis 20 tahun berparas cantik, anggun dan lugu. Bekerja keras demi membiayai pengobatan sang ayah, yang terbaring sakit 5 tahun lamanya. Hidup miskin, dan terlilit hutang yang banyak. Penderitaannya tak hanya itu. Flower yang malang, dijual oleh kakak tirinya ke sebuah klub ternama di kota Paris. Karna sebuah perjanjian hutang piutang dan balas budi, di situlah sosok Shaylenna menggantikan Flower si lugu. Flower, lebih tepatnya Shaylenna menjadi IDOLA RANJANG dan takdir membuatnya terikat dengan pemilik klub, Alexander. Pria yang pertama menyentuhnya, menjadikannya idola ranjang dan tak lain adalah The King Of Paris yang nyatanya memiliki sisi kemisteriusan. Malaikat, yang juga berhati iblis. Ketenaran dan juga pesonanya, bahkan mampu menjerat 3 penguasa dalam lingkaran cinta, keegoisan, dan klaim akan dirinya. Salah satunya, Maxime D’orion The King Of London, yang berhubungan dengan masa lalu Alexander. Bagaimana Flower akan menyikapi takdir hidupnya dalam bayang-bayang 3 penguasa? Siapakah yang akan berhasil mendapatkannya, setelah tragedi penyiksaan hingga berakhir pemerkosaan yang berujung trauma mendalam dan tumbuhnya janin tak berdosa yang bahkan tak diketahui siapa pemilik sahnya. Inilah kisah cinta sad romantisme, antara jalang dan para penguasa..

Di lingkungan para konglomerat, ada sebuah aturan tak tertulis, yaitu pasangan yang menikah karena aliansi keluarga boleh saja punya kehidupan masing-masing di luar. Namun, apa pun yang dibelikan untuk selingkuhan, wajib dibelikan juga untuk pasangan sah di rumah. Dean Ramosh adalah orang yang sangat berprinsip. Jadi bahkan setelah Keluarga Syahrina bangkrut, dia tetap teguh mematuhi aturan itu, bahkan memberikannya seratus kali lipat demi menghargai Calista Syahrina. Jika kartu selingkuhannya menerima uang saku 200 juta per bulan, kartu Calista harus stabil menerima 20 miliar. Baru saja Dean menghadiahi selingkuhannya perhiasan senilai dua miliar, dia langsung mengirimkan Calista sebuah cincin zamrud antik bernilai 200 miliar. Para nyonya kalangan elite yang sudah terbiasa melihat laki-laki hidup hedon bersama wanita simpanan, memang menghela napas prihatin melihat drama asmara antara Calista dan Dean yang sempat membuat heboh seantero kota. Namun, mereka tetap saja tak tahan untuk memberi saran bahwa Calista seharusnya belajar untuk merasa bersyukur. Bersyukur? Tentu saja Calista merasa bersyukur. Oleh karena itu, di hari ketika Dean terang-terangan memberikan sebuah rumah di pinggiran kota yang nilainya tak seberapa kepada selingkuhannya, Calista juga menerima sertifikat Vila Northcoast No. 1 dari tangan Dean sambil berkata, "Sepertinya aku tiba-tiba merasa agak bosan. Gimana kalau kita bercerai?"

He was supposed to be a stranger. A bruised, scarred, filthy-mouthed stranger who pinned me against a bathroom wall and made me forget the boy who broke my heart 20 minutes earlier. I walked away first without his name or number, and I didn't look back. Then I found out my mom was engaged. To his dad. Rhys Maddox. Number seventeen. 6'3" of tattoos, bruised knuckles, and the kind of jaw that makes good girls do stupid things. The most dangerous player to ever step on our ice. My one-night stand. My new stepbrother. He doesn't follow rules - he breaks them. On the ice. In my bed. Against every surface in our parents' house while they eat twenty feet away. He calls me "sis" just to watch me squirm. He watches me like he already owns me. And the worst part? He does. Publicly, we're fake dating - a deal to keep my ex-bestfriend away. Privately, we're a stepbrother and stepsister who can't keep our clothes on the second we're alone. It's our biggest secret. Now the boy who I once considered my best friend suddenly wants me back. And the stepbrother who wasn't supposed to mean anything won't let me go. One wants to protect me. One wants to destroy me. And I can't tell which is which anymore. --- For readers 18+ who like their men possessive, their romances FORBIDDEN, and their chapters dripping with filthy, unapologetic spice.

Ini adalah malam tahun baru ketiga sejak suamiku bangkrut. Rumah kami begitu miskin sampai tidak tersisa beras sedikit pun. Dia bilang, dia ingin makan daging. Dengan suhu minus 20 derajat dan badai salju lebat, aku menahan dingin sambil mengendarai motor listrik tua untuk mengambil pesanan kerja lepas. Jalanan terlalu licin. Aku dan motorku terperosok ke selokan. Beberapa tulang rusukku patah dan di tengah salju yang menutupi langit, tubuhku perlahan kehilangan suhu. Menjelang ajal, tanganku masih mencengkeram erat kotak lauk daging goreng yang kubeli khusus untuk tambahan makanannya. Setelah jiwaku meninggalkan tubuh, aku melayang kembali ke rumah kontrakan kami yang selalu berangin, tetapi tak ada seorang pun di sana. Aku keluar dan melihat suamiku berdiri rapi dengan setelan jas di sebuah vila mewah yang hanya terpisah satu jalan. Di tangannya sedang menggoyangkan segelas anggur merah dengan santai. Sekelompok pengawal bersikap sangat hormat kepadanya. Aku melayang mendekat dan mendengar dia bergumam, "Aku benar-benar nggak kepengin lagi jalani hidup sengsara begini. Kalau wanita bodoh itu tahu aku pewaris orang terkaya, mungkin dia akan senang setengah mati." "Tapi, ke mana dia pergi? Kenapa belum pulang untuk masak? Benar-benar makin malas saja." Namun dia tidak tahu, aku tidak bisa pulang lagi.

I worked super hard during Cyber Monday and pulled in 20 million dollars in sales, only for my wife, Chelsea Abbott, to credit it to her childhood sweetheart, who had just returned from studying overseas. I was so furious that I confronted her, but she clung to Donald Dixon's arm and said righteously, "Donald just got back, and he doesn't have a solid footing yet. What's wrong with my helping him establish some authority? Are you really going to argue with me over this?" I swallowed it. But at the year-end conference, Donald actually pointed right at my face in front of the entire company and yelled, "I produced these results myself. You're just a deadweight living off your wife. You don't even deserve to be here! Keeping parasites like you in the company is a total waste of resources!" My performance was used to build his reputation, and this was how he repaid me? I turned to look at Chelsea, but she didn't even spare me a glance. Instead, she announced to everyone, "Donald's right. The industry's moving fast, and Will really can't keep up anymore. Starting tomorrow, all of his responsibilities will be taken over by Donald!" Faced with everyone's eager, gossipy stares, I didn't make a scene. Last night, the industry leader the company had been desperate to flatter just sent me an offer letter. Since Chelsea was determined to fight side by side with her childhood sweetheart, this was where we would end.

The girl wore a two-piece bikini that perfectly complemented her flawless figure. Her staged slip and fall into the water were executed with perfection. But why did that petite face carry an innocent, naive look, resembling a nymph? She lowered her head, and her long hair clung wetly to her slender shoulders. Each droplet cascaded down, brushing against her delicate collarbone, and just below the collarbone, Richard Harris's gaze couldn't help but shift. If he were to pull down her swimsuit just a bit... the light shining on her glistening skin would only enhance her allure. Richard Harris felt his blood rushing to a certain part of his body, eagerly awaiting stimulation. His eyes momentarily flickered with flames, enough to consume Roxana Nelson. Why did he feel this way towards that girl, even intensely so? Becoming aware of this, his expression grew colder, and a sinister smile crept onto his lips. In the swimming pool, many greedy eyes ogled at Roxana Nelson, her figure no less captivating than a professional model's. It turned out that it wasn't just him salivating over her alluring physique. This realization deepened the somberness of his complexion. Casting a sharp glance at the crowd, without a word, everyone discreetly retreated 20 meters, each one taking it upon themselves to save their own lives! It was her! He wouldn't spare her. If she willingly offered herself at his doorstep, she shouldn't blame him for not refusing!

"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.
