Apex Saham

Pada hari peringatan lima tahun kebersamaan kami, pacarku Luis Loren memberiku sebuah gelang yang harganya tidak sampai dua ratus ribu. Malam itu juga, dia membelikan sebuah kapal pesiar seharga 20 miliar untuk cinta pertamanya, Paula Santoso. Aku menolak gelang itu. Dia malah mengataiku tidak pengertian. "Aku memberikan hadiah pada Paula demi saham perusahaan, bukan karena aku masih memiliki perasaan padanya." "Kamu hanyalah orang miskin, aku sudah berjanji akan menikahimu, memangnya masih nggak cukup? Padahal ini adalah ujian terakhir untukmu, Ziva, kamu gagal." Aku mengakhiri hubungan kami. Dia langsung melamar Paula. Lima tahun kemudian, kami bertemu di sebuah hotel mewah, tepatnya tempat diadakan Konferensi Bisnis. Perusahaannya akan segera menjadi pemimpin industri, dia masuk dengan menggandeng Paula. Ketika dia melihatku, aku sedang berdiri di kolam air mancur dengan pakaian yang berantakan. "Ziva." Dia berkata dengan nada sinis, "Dulu, kamu menolakku. Kamu nggak menyangka setelah berpisah denganku, hidupmu akan lebih buruk dari pengemis, 'kan?" "Jangan kira karena kamu merekayasa pertemuan ini dan menunjukkan betapa menderitanya hidupmu, aku akan mengasihanimu dan membawamu pergi." Aku mengabaikannya. Berlian biru kesayangan putraku yang ayahnya berikan sebagai hadiah ulang tahun pertama tidak sengaja jatuh ke dalam air mancur. Putraku menangis tersedu-sedu, aku harus segera menemukan berlian biru itu.

“You like this so much, don’t you?” Theo asked hectically and nuzzled her temple. His fingers dug into her hips while he was pounding her from behind. She didn’t respond but moaned, her hands clenched on the headboard of the bed harder. He slapped her ass harshly. “Answer me.” “Ah!” Meli laughs breathlessly. “Yes...” Theo straightened and wound his hand around her long hair. The sound of their hips slamming was filling the hotel room. He kept fucking her relentlessly, this woman’s moans were like the most sensual music to his ears. After a few seconds, Meli’s moans turned into sobs and she came with a shaking cry, her body fell onto the mattress. Theo wasn’t there, he gave her a few last thrusts and reached his own apex as groaning. His muscled frame collapsed onto her delicate body. *** Theo is the CEO of a global company. He is his own person with a successful career, a loft as an ideal bachelor pad and a car he'd dreamt of. With his physique that women describe as a Greek god, he has no difficulty in getting a woman he desires. Everything in his life is in a strict order. It is a monotonous pattern, but never worrying. Never unnerving. Till she comes. His boss's new wife. Mrs. Aldridge. There is an insane chemistry between the two, and Theo has no idea how to handle those burning sparks emanating from it.

Dokter mengatakan, tanpa terapi sel terbaru, aku hanya bisa hidup selama 72 jam. Namun, Tommy Harper memberikan satu-satunya kuota pengobatan itu kepada Anna Wilson. "Gagal ginjalnya lebih parah," ujar Tommy. Aku mengangguk, lalu menelan pil putih yang akan mempercepat kematianku. Dalam sisa waktu itu, aku melakukan banyak hal. Saat penandatanganan, tangan pengacara gemetar. "Saham senilai empat triliun ini, Anda benar-benar akan mengalihkan semuanya?" Aku menjawab, "Ya, berikan pada Anna." Putriku, Clarisa, tertawa bahagia dalam pelukan Anna. "Ibu Anna membelikanku gaun baru!" "Bagus sekali, nanti dengarkan perkataan Ibu Anna, ya," ujarku. Galeri seni yang kudirikan dengan tanganku sendiri, berganti nama menjadi milik Anna. "Kakak, kamu terlalu baik," ujarnya sambil menangis. Aku menjawab, "Kamu akan mengelolanya lebih baik dariku." Bahkan aku telah menyerahkan hak atas dana perwalian orang tuaku. Tommy akhirnya menampilkan senyuman tulus pertamanya selama bertahun-tahun. "Sofie, kamu sudah berubah. Kamu nggak lagi galak. Kamu yang seperti ini, sungguh cantik." Benar, aku yang sekarat ini akhirnya menjadi Sofie Barnes yang sempurna di mata mereka. Sofie yang patuh, dermawan, dan tidak pernah membantah. Hitungan mundur 72 jam telah dimulai. Aku sangat penasaran, ketika detak jantungku berhenti, apa yang akan mereka ingat tentangku? Apakah aku akan diingat sebagai istri baik yang akhirnya belajar melepaskan, atau sebagai seorang wanita yang menyelesaikan balas dendamnya dengan kematian?

The only thing more dangerous than the game is the man guarding the crease. Lyon Navarro has spent his entire career tearing down the San Diego Stormbreakers. As the city’s most ruthless journalist, he’s made an art form out of exposing the Alphas’ volatile tempers and their scandalous lives off the rink. He’s the man they love to hate—until a desperate management team offers him the biggest paycheck of his life to fix their image. The assignment? Tame the six most notorious werewolves in the league.

In a world of adrenaline, cold ice, and raw, lupine desire, Lyon is about to discover that the line between enemy and lover is thinner than a skate blade. Six Alphas. One PR strategist. And a season that’s about to get very, very hot. Beyond the Ice is a high-stakes, slow-burn MM hockey werewolf romance. Expect intense power dynamics, sizzling tension, and a pack that doesn't just want to win the cup—they want to claim their man.

Being a Vampires pet is a fate no Human wants to endure… I was 6 years old when my parents were killed and I was taken to the pet store. A 6 year old cannot make choices for herself, so why am I punished for something my parents did? This question haunts me. Instead of playing outside with other kids, I was groomed and trained to obey my Master… I was to be the perfect pet. A maid, a sexual partner, a nurse, a blood bag… Anything my Master wanted, that was what I was expected to give. Obedience… That is what the Ringmaster prided herself on with her selection. She didn't get so lucky with me. Madame Vienna and I clashed hardcore. I learned quickly not to speak out of turn, but it didn't stop me from throwing a snarky remark here and there when I felt that I was healed enough to handle another punishment. This may be the only reason I lasted so long without being sold. But my time had come. I was on display for the world to see. Tattered and torn, but it didn't seem to matter to the man with the rose gold eyes who made the Vampires tremble without even saying a single word… What kind of creature was he to cause this type of reaction in an apex predator? I clenched my eyes shut as he brought me to the counter to check out. "Come, Ambrosia." The man purred after a moment. Shaking, I followed him, trying to take in any and every small detail of the outside world… "You can do this. Pretend it's just a bad dream… You know how to survive." I whispered to myself, as I followed my new Master to what was sure to be my death.
