Amara 16

Direct. Precision. Order. Those were the fuels James' life ran on but, a blackmail was all it took to bring a twist in the billionaire's life. James McKenna, a ruthless billionaire, who has a certain time for everything, is found at lost when a blackmail forces him into an engagement with Amara Livingston, a young girl he barely knows and the carefree daughter of the Mayor who also happened to be the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen. His determination to reverse the blackmail is wiped out when the said lady falls right into his laps and forces him into a relationship. A relationship he found himself longing for with each passing day. Still, he did everything within his power to destroy the evidence and their engagement, but the thing now is, now that he has her, he can't let her go.

Eleven years ago, Leilani Amara Vaughn danced her last ballet the night her rival fell to her death and the world branded her a killer. Now she’s free, but freedom feels like a cruel joke. Every path she takes is already blocked. Every chance at redemption quietly erased by unseen hands. Until one man offers her salvation—Declan Patridge Powerful. Untouchable. Cold as the empire he built. He gives her a job in his home, a roof over her head… and chains she can’t see. He says it’s mercy. She feels it’s punishment. But what begins as vengeance soon burns into something neither of them can name. Because beneath the hatred, the lies, and the silence, beats a truth dangerous enough to destroy them both.

“Kamu menikahiku untuk melunasi utang, bukan? Maka jangan pernah berharap kuperlakukan seperti istri!” Amara tak pernah menyangka hidupnya akan berubah hanya dalam satu hari—dari guru sederhana menjadi istri kontrak seorang CEO dingin demi menyelamatkan keluarganya dari kehancuran. Arga Baskara tak percaya cinta. Ia hanya tahu satu hal: balas dendam dan kontrol. Tapi tubuhnya tetap menuntut haknya sebagai suami… meski hatinya menolak memberi lebih. Ketika gairah tak bisa ditekan, dan masa lalu datang menghantam, siapa yang akan kalah dalam permainan hati ini? Perjanjian ini ditulis dengan tinta kesepakatan. Tapi mampukah cinta tumbuh di antara tanda tangan dan luka?

Kelsie, an orphan at the age of 16 grieved for her father’s death. She’s fully aware that something was wrong, injustice was evident, and money was the culprit of everything that happened. Anger ignited in her heart and she’s determined to become a lawyer. She made a promise to her father’s grave and she’s certain she can fulfill it. Though the world has been cruel as her mother died giving birth to her, she had no other choice but to be brave in living life independently. Then she met Brent Damien Davis and he fell in love with her. She knew that Brent is the son of the man who's the reason for her father death and decided to use him for her revenge. But along the way, a kind of emotion grew in her heart for him. She couldn’t stand firm on her plans and making a decision was a tough one. What would she choose- to prevail justice for her father or to forgive and be happy with him?

I can't remember my life before 16 after I was hit by a truck. I only remember two letters Ki and I'm convinced it's what I was called before the accident. Google could not help with the narrow search because all the names I have tried don’t sound familiar. I have spent ten years trying to remember and failing. I have a lot of questions with no one to answer them for me. I fear my life must have been meaningless because no one came looking for me and worst of all the trail of my identity went cold. Every search came out as a dead end it was as if I never existed. I have a question that runs in my head over and over, but it feels pointless because even the police could never solve the mystery.

Saat suamiku pergi ke toilet, ponselnya berdering. Aku melirik sekilas. Telepon dari adik suamiku, Ruslan. Aku mengernyit, tetapi tetap mengangkatnya. "Kak, uang bulanan 20 juta buat Ayah dan Ibu kok belum ditransfer? Ibu barusan nanya ke aku." Telepon ditutup. Darahku seolah-olah mengalir terbalik. Suamiku berdiri tepat di depan pintu toilet dan tangannya bahkan belum dikeringkan dari air. Aku menarik sudut bibirku. "Gajimu 16 juta, cicilan rumah 6 juta, kasih aku 4 juta, kamu simpan sendiri 2 juta. Kamu bilang kasih orang tuamu 4 juta, kok jadi 20 juta?" Bibirnya bergerak, tetapi tidak ada suara. Wajahnya sangat pucat, sementara tanganku gemetar hebat. Selama lima tahun, aku tak pernah sekali pun melihat kartu banknya. Lalu, apa lagi yang tidak aku ketahui?

Istriku adalah orang yang mendalami ajaran agama. Hal yang paling tabu baginya adalah menuruti nafsu. Urusan suami istri hanya boleh dilakukan setiap tanggal 16 setiap bulan, bahkan semua hal harus dia kendalikan dengan ketat. Begitu aku melampaui batas, dia akan tanpa ragu menghentikan semuanya dan pergi. Sudah lima tahun kami menikah. Meskipun aku punya banyak ketidakpuasan, karena mencintainya, aku terus mengalah. Aku sempat mengira bahwa meskipun dia adalah seorang "dewi" yang tidak berperasaan, setidaknya dia mencintaiku. Sampai suatu hari, saat aku mengikuti tim ke sebuah hotel yang terbakar untuk melakukan misi penyelamatan, barulah aku sadar betapa salahnya aku selama ini. Saat menemukannya, istriku sedang bersandar di pelukan pria lain. Di antara mereka, bahkan ada seorang anak kecil.

Nagluluksa si Amara Alcantanra sa burol ng kaniyang ina habang abala ang kanyang asawa sa pagdiriwang ng kaarawan ng unang babaeng minahal nito—punong-puno ng kasiyahan at engrande ang selebrasyon. Klarong-klaro ang lahat kay Amara. Kung hindi siya mahal ng lalaki, ayaw na rin niya dito. Iniwan niya ang kasunduan ng diborsyo sa ibabaw ng mesa at piniling ipalaglag ang dinadala, at lumakad palayo nang mag-isa. Limang taon ang lumipas. Sa isang marangyang subastahan, lumitaw ang chief auctioneer nakasuot ito ng isang hapit na makabagong Filipiniana na backless, may mataas na slit sa hita, at natatakpan ng puting belo ang kanyang mukha. Lahat ng mata ay kusang tumigil sa kanya. Napasimangot si Argus De Luca, bahagyang nanliliit ang mga mata. "Ang pangalan niya'y Reina?" Tumango ang kanyang assistant. "Yes, Sir. May nabalitaan rin akong minsan may nag-alok ng sampu-sampung milyon kapalit ng pagkakataong makita ang tunay niyang mukha pero tinanggihan niya." Sa wakas, natagpuan na ni Argus De Luca ang babaeng matagal na niyang hinahanap sa loob ng limang taon. Kinagabihan ay hinarang niya ito sa isang kanto. "Auctioneer Reina, hanggang ngayon ay tinatakbuhan mo pa rin ako o mas tamang sabihin kong Amara?" "Argus, hiwalay na tayo." "Hindi ko kailanman sinang-ayunan 'yon. Nasaan ang anak ko?" "Mukhang nakalimot ka, Argus… ikaw mismo ang dahilan kung bakit nalaglag ang bata, limang taon na ang nakalipas!" Ngunit ngumisi si Argus, at may inilantad sa harap niya. "Kung gayon, ipaliwanag mo ito." Triplets na limang taong gulang ang nakatayo sa harap nila.
