"Merciless and driven, billionaire Anthony Bertram built his company from the ground-up, dedicating every waking moment to creating one of the most powerful corporations in the world. The last thing he has time for is romance. He almost lost everything when his first marriage fell apart. Disillusioned from his divorce, Anthony knows from experience that love only makes you weak. When a mix-up results in a woman showing up at his supposedly private cabin during his vacation, all of his plans are completely upended. This woman is just what he doesn’t need: beautiful, spirited, and so maddening that suddenly all Anthony wants is to make her his. A free-spirited artist and activist, Thea Younger wants to leave the world a better place. When she arrives at the cabin she’s booked for a much-needed vacation and finds Anthony Bertram there—a man who represents everything she’s against—she refuses to let him intimidate her into leaving. When bad weather forces the pair to stay in the cabin together for a week, though, Thea soon discovers that the man behind the mask is no heartless monster. Anthony is all flesh-and-blood man, and one whose kisses she can’t resist. Desire flames between them until they both surrender to exquisite temptation. But as secrets loom over Thea, she must look inside her heart and find the courage to take a chance on love."

In my past life, my father arranged betrothals for both my brother and me, leaving the choice to us. Without hesitation, my brother chose the wealthy heiress, forcing me to marry the housekeeper's daughter. But the heiress turned out to be a cruel woman. She brought her first love home and humiliated my brother every day. Meanwhile, the housekeeper's daughter I married ended up winning hundreds of millions in the lottery, granting me a life free from financial worries. Jealous of my prosperous life, my brother deliberately drove his car straight into me. When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the day we're supposed to choose our betrothed. My brother rushes to choose the housekeeper's daughter first. "Jason Wright, it's my turn to enjoy the good life! You can go keep that awful woman company!" I smile. He doesn't know that my comfortable life was never dependent on my wife.

To cheer up their depressed adopted daughter, Ashley Reid, my parents don't dare to treat me nicely. They've even locked me in a pitch-black room more than 700 times, just to put a smile on her face. At first, they feel guilty toward me. But eventually, even my older brother, Liam Reid, who used to care for me the most, treats it like it's all perfectly reasonable. When Ashley's depression finally starts to ease, I work up the courage to kneel and beg them to seal off that room for good. But at her birthday party, simply because I'm wearing the only T-shirt I own, she starts tearing up and asks my parents if I don't like her. My parents and Liam rush to comfort her and, yet again, lock me away in that dark, endless room. "Summer, you're her elder sister. You have to be more considerate of her feelings." "If you hadn't insisted on wearing something so tacky for her birthday party, she wouldn't have gotten so upset." "You've gotten used to it after all these years, right? One more time won't matter to you." I curl up in the corner, gripping my hair, unable to say a word. Three days later, they finally let me out. They remind me not to upset Ashley again. But I just stare at them blankly. "Sorry, who are you?"

Selena sure is a lucky girl. She became a scholar at the prestigious Wynnford University, and she also caught the attention of the school's twin heartthrobs, Alexis and Alexander. But this is not because of her looks or intellect. It's because she reminds them of their missing childhood friend, Limstella. Then there's Marga, the campus queen, who is a childhood friend of the twins and is overprotective of them. How will Selena compete with the memories they had with Limstella? Can she replace Limstella in their hearts? Can she get closer to them with Marga doing everything to make her life miserable? And what if the secrets from the past have been revealed? How will these affect all of them?

Pekerja magang baru itu selalu memikirkan perusahaan. Demi menghemat biaya, dia secara diam-diam menukar lapis legit seharga 20 juta yang akan kukirimkan pada klien dengan lapis legit abal-abal seharga 19.800 dengan gratis ongkir yang dibelinya di Shopee. Demi menghemat listrik, pekerja magang itu mematikan sakelar listrik saat kami sedang bekerja lembur untuk mengejar target. Dia juga mengusulkan pada bos agar kami tidak libur pada hari kemerdekaan. Pekerja magang itu berkata dengan nada tegas, "Perusahaan nggak membayar orang-orang pemalas. Kurasa hari kemerdekaan adalah saat yang terbaik untuk meningkatkan kinerja. Aku mengusulkan agar semua orang kerja lembur secara cuma-cuma, sebagai bentuk pengabdian tanpa pamrih pada perusahaan." Para karyawan yang jabatannya rendah langsung menggerutu. Aku angkat bicara mewakili semua orang untuk menolak usulannya. Akan tetapi, dia secara terang-terangan menuduhku memperkaya diri sendiri dan menyarankan pada bos agar memecatku. Anehnya, bos justru menyetujuinya. Oke, aku ingin lihat bagaimana perusahaan ini berjalan tanpa diriku.

I was in the office bathroom stall when I heard them trash-talking me. The intern I'd trained for three months whined, "She's a heartless witch—like a robot with zero brain cells." I was about to swing the door open when another voice jumped in, laughing. "Documents incomplete." "Receipts don't match." "No signature? Denied." "Seriously, we've all memorized the freaking rulebot's script!" Once they were gone, I headed back to my desk. The intern stormed in and slammed a fat stack of reimbursement forms in front of me. "Don't go on another power trip and block everyone's claims." I skimmed the obviously fake receipts. Normally, I'd tear into her. But this time, I just smiled. "My head's killing me. Can't read the fine print."
