Di tahun kesepuluh pernikahanku, mantan sahabatku memposting sebuah foto. Putrinya dan putraku masing-masing digendong olehnya dan suamiku. Keempat orang itu berdiri berdekatan dan di bawah foto itu tertulis: "Sudah sepasang 'kan anak-anak kami?" Aku berkomentar untuk foto itu, Pasangan yang sempurna. Detik berikutnya, postingan itu dihapus. Keesokan harinya, suamiku bergegas pulang dan bertanya padaku, "Susah payah aku membuat kondisi Sophie membaik, kenapa kamu malah cari ribut?" Putraku bahkan mendorong dan menuduhku, "Ini semua salahmu! Adikku jadi menangis." Aku mengeluarkan surat cerai dan melemparkannya ke wajah mereka. "Ya, ini salahku! Jadi biar aku yang pergi, semoga kalian berempat jadi keluarga bahagia!"

To temper my attitude, Frederick Burke throws me into the mountains. What he doesn't know is that this mountain lies deep within a high-radiation zone. Five months later, he finally shows up with a group of people to bring me back. However, my body is already starting to rot from the radiation. "Anastasia, if you hadn't pushed Colette down the stairs, I wouldn't have punished you like this. I wouldn't have left you to rot on this godforsaken mountain. Do you admit your mistake now?" I kneel on the ground and prostrate myself before Colette Reeves. Frederick freezes and instinctively reaches out to help me up. "Alright, there's no need for this…" I say nothing. I just quietly watch as he grabs my arm. Unbeknownst to him, my body is already soaked in radiation after months in this mountain. Anyone who touches me will slowly begin to rot, too...

I, Anastasia Lancroft, was promised power—then thrown to the wolves. My fiancé betrayed me for a stronger alliance. My father chose his new wife over his own daughter. And I was left with nothing but rage. So I made a choice. The Bastorin. A school for the cruel, the cunning, the next kings of the underworld. I came here for one reason—survival. Instead, I found him: Alexei Vasiliev, the dangerously magnetic ruler of this academy. His gaze pins me. His presence devours me. And he’s not the only one. My stepbrothers are here too—Nathaniel and Gabriel. Cruel. Possessive. Hungry for my downfall. Three men. Three predators. And I’m the prey they refuse to share. Now, I’m the prize in their twisted game— where every glance burns, every threat tempts, and every night drags me closer to surrender. This isn’t a love story. It’s a war for dominance. And I’m the one they all want to claim.

"I thought you loved me!" He cut me off instantly. "Didn't we agree to run away together?" I cried, "Maxwell... I swear on my life, I had no idea this was going to happen. My mom planned everything and…" He dismissed me with a wave of his hand. "Cut it off, step-sister," he said, heading to his car. "Maxwell! Maxwell! Please don't leave me with that son of a bitch!" I shouted desperately. Anastasia, a recent college graduate, is torn between her forbidden love for her stepbrother Maxwell and her mother's demands to marry Ryan, a stranger. When she discovers she's carrying Maxwell’s child, her world spirals out of control. Trapped in a loveless marriage with a monster, she longs for Maxwell, but he's nowhere to be found. Just when she thinks all hope is lost, Maxwell's father steps in—but he's determined to keep her for himself. She's stuck. Damn it!

Pria itu menatap Ana dengan pandangan yang sulit diartikan—antara waspada, terkejut, dan sesuatu yang lebih gelap.

It was the day of our marriage. We were supposed to meet up at the City Hall, but my fiancee stood me up. I waited for her the whole day, and the only answer I got was a picture from her assistant. My girlfriend sat astride on his lap, and her arms were wrapped around his neck while they were locked in a deep kiss. "Sorry, Mr. Terraton. Sophie insisted on comforting me. You don't mind, do you?" I demanded answers from my girlfriend, but that only made her impatient. "He donated his blood to me. Yeah, I was with him, but so what? Man up, will you?" That killed any love I had for her, and I called my soon-to-be ex-girlfriend's sister. "Hey, Sylvie. Yeah, about your proposal. So will you marry me?"
