Ini adalah cerita tentang pasien nomor sembilan yang datang padaku murni sebagai pesakitan. Allsya, remaja yang terlahir dari keluarga berada tapi tak bisa menikmati bahagia. Ditempa oleh keadaan yang memaksanya untuk dewasa sebelum waktunya. Diusianya yang masih belia ia mencari tentang keadilan, perbedaan laki-laki dan perempuan, dan pembedaan perlakuan. Ketika di penghujung SMP--masa sibuknya ujian, berhasil menemukan jawaban. Patriarki. Selain dari buku yang dibacanya, ia juga mendapatkan pemahaman dari Ersya--mahasiswa yang sedang KKN di desanya. Menjalin kedekatan. Mengajari banyak hal setiap malam, berbagi perhatian, dan juga memberi perlindungan layaknya sepasang kakak-beradik. Tiga bulan sudah, tiba masanya Ersya harus pulang. Tugasnya telah usai dan harus kembali menyelesaikan studynya di kota asal. Tentu saja Allsya tak baik-baik saja setelah perpisahan. Terciptanya kebersamaan membuatnya merasa kehilangan. Terlebih ketika mimpinya dipaksa mati oleh sang ayah dengan jeratan sebuah perjodohan. Ketika ia datang padaku memberanikan diri bercerita tentang sekelumit hidupnya sebagai upaya penyembuhan diri, maka mata hatiku merubah cara pandang tentangnya. Menebas segala prasangka yang sempat tercipta karena kesaksianku yang tidak utuh. Keputusannya datang padaku adalah momentum terbaik untuk melengkapi bagian rumpang yang sering mengundang pikiran yang bukan-bukan serta kesimpulan tanpa rujukan. Namun secara tidak langsung ia mengajakku bermain-main dalam labirinnya. Bahkan bukan lagi bersifat ajakan melainkan paksaan karena ini menyangkut tanggung jawab profesi. Baiklah, dengan bantuan diary sebagai saksi bisu sang pemiliknya yang dibiarkan aku baca, kesaksian seorang lelaki yang sangat kupuja, serta mataku sendiri yang menyaksikan beberapa bagian hidupnya, aku susun benang merah dari hidup seorang pasien nomor sembilan. Silahkan, saksikan saja kinerjaku ini!

Sejauh yang bisa kuingat, aku selalu mencintai Rizky Pratama, sahabat terbaik kakak laki-lakiku, satu-satunya bos mafia di Nusatama. Pada malam ulang tahunku yang ke-20, kakakku menjanjikan sebuah kejutan. Aku tidak menyangka kejutan itu adalah Rizky yang sudah mabuk berat dan sangat menggoda untuk disambut dengan ciuman. Satu malam yang ceroboh itu pun menghasilkan satu bayi laki-laki. Rizky akhirnya setuju untuk menikahiku setelah aku melahirkan. Namun pada hari kelahiran Leonardy Pratama, Rizky tidak berkata sepatah kata pun. Dia hanya mengemasi barang-barangnya dan menghilang ke Franzia selama hampir lima tahun. Kemudian dia kembali dengan Alya Tania, cinta pertamanya. Saat Alya melihat Leonardy dan aku, dia langsung dia berlari dan menghilang. Setelah itu, Rizky tak pernah meninggalkan aku. Seolah-olah ia berusaha menjadi pria yang aku butuhkan selama ini, bahwa kami akhirnya akan mendapatkan kesempatan berbahagia. Namun dongeng-dongeng hanyalah kebohongan yang dibungkus dengan kertas cantik. Di hari ulang tahun Leonardy yang ke-6, kami sedang dalam perjalanan menuju tempat makan malam. Tapi rem mobil kami malah tidak berfungsi. Mobil itu pun tergelincir menuju ke jalan raya, dan api mulai membakar mesin. Rizky keluar dari mobil. Dan kemudian dia mengunci pintu. “Kalau bukan karena kamu, Alya masih akan bersamaku. Sekarang, giliranmu yang menderita.” Barulah pada saat itu aku menyadari Rizky tidak pernah mencintaiku. Ketika aku membuka mata kembali, aku telah kembali ke hari ulang tahunku yang ke-20. Rizky masih berada di tempat tidurku, persis seperti di masa lalu. Kali ini, aku tak ragu. Aku langsung berlari. Dan sebelum pergi, aku melakukan hal yang seharusnya kulakukan sejak awal, telepon Alya.

In a world ruled by power and betrayal, Atticus Escoban, the younger daughter of the influential Escoban family, has always lived away from the dangerous chaos of their criminal empire. For 21 years, she was sheltered, hidden, and protected. But her life changes forever when Alijax Costaloña, the cold and calculating heir of the Costaloña dynasty, violently confronts her father, leaving him gravely wounded. Atticus never expected to be caught in the crossfire of her family’s schemes. Worse, Alijax discovers her existence and shocks everyone by choosing her—over her older sister Anneth—to be his fiancée. The engagement is a sham, a dangerous ploy to secure alliances, but Alijax has plans no one can predict. Determined to protect her family at any cost, Atticus agrees to the engagement, kahit na lumalaban ang puso niya sa ideya. Behind her composed exterior, she plots her way out, refusing to let the Costaloñas dictate her future. But the closer she gets to Alijax, the harder it becomes to distinguish between the man who ruined her family and the one who seems capable of understanding her like no one else. “Do you think you can escape this, Atticus?” he said, his voice dangerously low as he cornered her in the dimly lit study. “You’re mine now. Whether you like it or not.” Her fists clenched, and she met his cold, unreadable gaze with defiance. “You can own the world, Alijax Costaloña, pero ako? Hindi mo ako makukuha.” In a game of power, deception, and forbidden emotions, Atticus must make the ultimate choice. Will she sacrifice her freedom to protect her family, or will she risk it all to claim the life she truly deserves? Love and survival collide in a story where nothing is what it seems, and every decision could be deadly.

Violet eyes with piercing sight. Mane of gold in pale moonlight. Skin so hard and lily white. Voice so soft, yet filled with might. He comes to me in the dark of night. Flash of teeth, smile so slight. There is no fear, no need to fight. In his embrace, I crave his bite. -S.R. Michele, or Shelly to those closest to her, is a typical 21 yr old, trying to find her way in life. She has good family, a close circle of friends. She's outgoing and friendly, and a bit reckless and impulsive sometimes. And she has certain gifts...when she touches things, she can see into the past, she can feel what was felt by others, and she can sense things before they happen. Ok, so maybe she's not so typical. An impromptu trip to New Orleans, a party on Bourbon Street, and an attempted assault in a dark alley lead her into a world she didn't know existed...but one she's not afraid of. She doesn't know if the violet-eyed stranger that comes to her rescue, and follows her home, is a friend or a foe - and honestly, she doesn't care. Once you've had a taste of the darkness, it's hard to pull away... **** This book was written in the late 1990's - early 2000's, and originally published in 2004, under the title: Diary of a Vampire by S.M. Royston. It was my first book, and it wasn't long until I came to hate it! (Please, don't look it up - I promise you, it's terrible) So here we are, years later, and I've decided to throw out my original work, and re-write it. Because I'm the author, and I can do that. The story, characters, and settings are the same - but the writing style is different, and in my opinion, much, much better. I hope you enjoy it. ****

Elena Vorontsov ( 21 tahun ) diasingkan ke desa Bergdorf selama empat belas tahun oleh ayah kandungnya sendiri. Namun, ia tiba-tiba dijemput dan dipaksa menikah dengan Meix Dalton (30 tahun), pria yang terkenal dingin dan juga mandul agar bisa menguasai harta warisan ibunya. *** Meix melepas kancing kemejanya satu-persatu hingga dadanya yang bidang terbuka lebar. Cahaya lampu temaram menyinari ototnya yang atletis. Mata cokelat Meix tak berpaling dari Elena yang semakin menjauh. Meix mengangkat paksa dagu Elena—membuat tatapan mereka akhirnya bertemu. "Buka gaunmu di sini," perintahnya dingin. "A-apa?" tanya Elena dengan mata membulat. Sudut bibir Meix terangkat. "Kenapa kaget? Kau istriku. Buka bajumu di hadapanku." Tubuh Elena menegang. Kelopak matanya bergerak cepat. Kakinya melangkah semakin mundur, namun dengan cepat Meix menarik pergelangan tangannya membuat Elena terjerembab ke dalam pelukan Meix yang tinggi dan kokoh. Lengannya yang kuat melingkar di pinggang Elena—merapatkan ke perutnya tanpa kelembutan. Ia menarik tengkuk istrinya itu, lalu menekan bibirnya dalam ciuman kasar, tanpa rasa. Elena tersentak. Ia mendorong dada Meix sekuat mungkin. Berusaha melepaskan diri dari cengkeraman suami yang tak diinginkannya itu. Nafasnya memburu, tangannya bergetar hebat. "Maaf, Tuan. Aku rasa... tidak seharusnya kita melakukan itu," ujar Elena. Nada suaranya cepat dan tidak teratur. Wajahnya terus tertunduk seolah enggan menatap kebringasan suaminya. *** Bagaimana perjalanan pernikahan Elena dengan pria kasar dan arogan itu? Akankah ia mampu membuat Meix jatuh cinta padanya? Atau... Justru membuatnya semakin terpuruk?
