Arti Tonight

Di usia 53 tahun, seorang ibu tunggal dihadapkan pada dilema pelik: bagaimana menjalani sisa hidupnya. Anak pertamanya telah menikah dengan wanita kaya raya, menuntut sang ibu untuk menjadi "mertua kalah" agar tak terusir, demi menjaga kesempatan tinggal sementara atau dukungan. Sementara itu, anak keduanya hidup pas-pasan di kontrakan bersama istri dan dua anaknya, dan tidak mampu menampungnya. Ibu ini berjuang untuk tetap menjadi "ibu hebat" bagi kedua anaknya yang sering salah paham, sambil menghadapi kenyataan pahit bahwa ia harus mencari jalan sendiri di tengah konflik internal dan eksternal, berbekal tekad untuk bertahan dan menemukan arti kebahagiaan dan sebuah 'rumah' yang sejati di usia senja.

In the seventh year of our marriage, I caught Nolan Garrison kissing his secretary at a bar. He called me shortly after I walked away. "It was just a friendly kiss! What’s with the attitude?" he snapped through the phone. I could hear his friends in the background teasing him and saying that I would be madly jealous while pleading for him not to leave me tonight as usual. Before hanging up, Nolan warned me that he wouldn’t come home if I didn’t apologize. However, I wasn’t bothered by his threat. I didn’t care if he decided to come home or get a divorce. Three minutes later, I posted an update on my social media: “Prioritize self-love and grant others the freedom they seek.”

A fresh out college mess decided to have a few harmless drinks before going to see her father. Well, a very irresistible stranger wasn't so harmless so why not risk it. Little did she know that he was someone close to her father. Her father's best friend. *********** “Tell me what you want,” he demanded. “You,” I gasped. “Harder. Please.” He gave it to me. Relentless. Possessive. One hand pinned my wrists above my head; the other gripped my hip, angling me exactly how he wanted. “You’re mine tonight,” he said against my throat, teeth grazing skin. “Say it.” “I’m yours,” I breathed, lost in him.

Di antara cinta, kehilangan, dan rahasia masa lalu, mereka terjebak dalam takdir yang tidak seharusnya bersinggungan. Sebuah kecelakaan telah mengubah segalanya, memisahkan dua hati, namun juga mempertemukannya kembali dengan cara yang tidak terbayangkan.

“Let’s have a child….right now,” “What?”Amelia took her steps back in terror, hearing his words. She immediately covered her naked body with her arms which intensified the rage in his eyes. “Yes…... We both hate each other and we both know the only way to break this f*cking marriage of ours is for you to give birth to my child, so….” he uttered through a clenched jaw while opening the buttons of his shirt. Amelia hugged herself more tightly, seeing him coming closer to her. “Stop. You….” He placed his index finger over her lips, halting her words. “Tonight, you will just moan my name,” his voice grew deeper. The rage in his eyes shifted to something more sinful. She swallowed, feeling his palms cupping her naked waist. “This is not….” “Ssshhhh…” he pulled her closer in his arms. “Let me have you tonight, my princess….” Whispering those words, he kissed that girl in his embrace whom he claimed to hate the most in his life. ……….. The deal was simple. Callum Morelli, the ruthless Lycan Prince, needed to kill the werewolf princess, Amelia Ashwood, to break the curse on him of being an infertile, but…..this simple deal took a dark turn when after finding Amelia after a search of years…..instead of killing her, his father commanded him to marry Amelia and make her give birth to his child. But how would Callum make Amelia give birth to his child when he had hated her all his life? He hated her innocent smile, her beautiful green eyes, her softly-warm skin. He hated everything about her, so how? The cruel Lycan prince surely received the answer that one sinful night when he couldn't control himself and touched her like… he owned her. ………..

"Zahid Group telah menyerahkan pembangunan The Zahid Heritage Towers kepada Naratama Group. Papa akan memberikan tanggung jawab proyek itu padamu, Karala… tapi dengan satu syarat." Karala Naratama tahu betul arti tawaran itu. Proyek bernilai fantastis tersebut adalah pembuktian bahwa ia lebih pantas menjadi pewaris Naratama Group dibanding abang tirinya. Dan seperti yang sudah Karala duga, harga yang harus dibayarnya tak pernah murah. Perjodohan. Bukan dengan Jeremy Zahid, CEO Zahid Group yang berstatus sudah menikah dan yang selama ini diam-diam menjadi kekasihnya melainkan dengan Damian Zahid, anak sulung keluarga Zahid sekaligus wakil menteri yang aktif. Di balik perjodohan, cinta yang terlarang dan kekuasaan, siapa yang akhirnya akan kalah oleh perasaan?

Awalnya, kehidupan Yonna terasa biasa saja, pergi ke sekolah dibonceng Luther—pacarnya, makan sambil mengobrol di kantin bersama dua sahabatnya, mengejek Dovis yang selalu menerima penolakan cinta dari Malilah, meski terkadang ia merasa muak dengan sikap kedua orang tuanya yang saling abai ke satu sama lain. Namun, semua itu terasa tidak ada apa-apanya setelah semakin hari, Yonna justru semakin menemukan kejanggalan dalam setiap hal yang ia temui. Banyaknya kasus bunuh diri untuk alasan yang tidak masuk akal, dan puncak ketegangan berada di acara Halloween. Apakah ini adalah tanda awal dari mimpi buruk yang selalu ia jumpai dalam tidur? Arti dari merah? Bagaimana dengan kasus bunuh diri? Anak baru?

While my boyfriend, Caleb Lawson, is in the shower, I grab his phone on a whim and drop a message in the group chat he's in with his friends. "Guess who I'm with tonight." I expect them to say my name, but their reply blindsides me. "That freshman who used to chase you when you were a sophomore? She's obsessed with you. She's definitely easier than your girlfriend. Want us to swing by tonight?" My gut tells me he's hiding more than an affair. Just as I start scrolling through his messages with the freshman, a notification from her pops up. "Caleb, I agree to the threesome. I'll do anything you want." Seconds later, another message appears in the group chat. "Just be careful this time. We don't need another body on our hands."

"So.... what would you like tonight to be?" Jasmine asked. Collins paused to consider. His eyes beamed a speculative challenge as he answered, "Whatever two strangers want to make of it." "Without a tomorrow." "Tomorrow I'm gone." Well, that was laying it on the line! "Then I'll just take this one-night experience with the man behind the name," she countered, pride insisting that his schedule did not affect her expectations from this blind date, which had been zero before she met him anyway. Sexual invitation simmered back at her. "I wonder if you will." ______ It was passion at first sight... Jasmine's blind date with Collins Templeton, a notoriously charming  tycoon, was the last thing she needed And more than a one-night stand... The second they met, Jasmine recognized sexual challenge in Collins eyes. Their date led to one unforgettable night - with consequences that would change their lives forever...
