Background Merah Abstrak

Aku menatap kontrak pernikahan Keluarga Varsali yang didorong ayahku ke seberang meja. Tanpa ragu, kutulis nama saudari tiriku, Dina, lalu kusodorkan kembali. Ayahku terdiam membeku. Kemudian, matanya menyala dengan antusiasme konyol, seolah-olah baru saja memenangkan lotre. "Kenapa kamu kamu mau memberikan kesempatan sesempurna ini pada adikmu?" Di kehidupan sebelumnya, pernikahanku adalah bahan tertawaan semua orang di sekitarku. Aku si penyihir kecil liar berambut merah yang berani masuk ke dunia Cassius Varsali, pewaris sekaligus pemimpin Keluarga Kriminal Varsali. Aku tak pernah sempurna, apalagi patuh. Dia menyukai gaun bak dewi, aku memakai rok mini dan menari di atas meja. Dia menuntut keintiman yang misionaris, tradisional, dan patuh, aku ingin berada di atas, menungganginya, tenggelam sepenuhnya. Di sebuah gala, para istri kalangan atas mentertawakan rambutku, gaunku, dan keliaranku. Kupikir setidaknya dia akan berpura-pura membelaku, tetapi dia tidak melakukannya. "Maafkan dia. Dia belum ... terlatih dengan baik." Terlatih. Seperti anjing. Sepanjang kehidupan terakhirku, aku tercekik di bawah aturannya, membengkokkan diriku hingga berdarah agar pas dengan bentuk yang dia inginkan, sampai malam rumah kami terbakar. Saat aku membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke momen ketika pertama kali mengetahui perjodohan itu. Aku menatap kontrak di hadapanku. Kali ini? Kurasa para pria klub malam lebih cocok untukku. Namun, saat Cassius menyadari pengantinnya bukan aku, dia menghancurkan setiap aturan yang selama ini dia pegang teguh.

Aku sudah tiga bulan tidak melihat suami mafiaku, Arga Pratama, dan putri kami, Dora. Kenapa? Karena ibunya Arga, Fiona, bilang Dora harus tinggal sementara bersamanya. Sementara Arga? Dia terlalu sibuk dengan urusan bisnis seperti biasanya. Jadi ketika Arga akhirnya menelpon dan bilang dia akan menjemputku untuk reuni keluarga di vila, aku begitu gembira. Aku pikir, mungkin, hanya mungkin, aku akhirnya bisa memeluk putriku lagi. Seharian aku berlari ke sana kemari di kota, membeli boneka favoritnya, camilan, gaun merah muda baru, apa pun yang kupikir bisa membuatnya tersenyum padaku lagi. Tapi ketika mobil itu datang, kenyataannya jauh dari bayanganku. Sebelum aku sempat bilang hai, Dora menoleh, menatapku sebentar... lalu memeluk Maya, si pembantu, lebih erat lagi. Dia menempelkan wajahnya ke leher Maya seolah aku tidak ada di situ. Seolah Maya adalah ibunya. Aku mencoba mendekatinya, tapi Dora tegas bilang dia tidak mau naik mobil bersamaku. Dan Maya dengan senyum sopan yang palsu, terus mencoba membujukku agar memberi Dora sedikit waktu lagi. Aku menoleh ke Arga, berharap dia turun tangan. Sebaliknya, dia cuma terlihat kesal, seolah tidak peduli untuk mengulurkan tangan membenahi hubunganku dengan putri kami. Jelas mereka tidak ingin aku ada di sana. Jadi, apa gunanya aku mencoba ikut naik mobil? Aku melangkah mundur dari SUV. Lalu Arga menoleh padaku dan bilang, "Tunggu di sini. Aku sebentar lagi kembali." Yang tidak akan pernah dia mengerti... aku sudah lelah menunggu dia.

Kaiya is an orphan found on the doorstep of the packhouse of The Red Shadow Pack, she was brought in as an Omega and made to clean up after the often cold and almost always arrogant Twin Alpha Heirs, Ace and Dylan. I have decided to break this story into parts…there are four connecting stories with an overarching story that threads them together.  We start with Chasing Their Unloved Luna Part 1: Finding The True Alpha Next is Chasing Their Unloved Luna Part 2: Guarding The Faithful Beta. After that will be Chasing Their Unloved Luna Part 3: Seducing The Noble Priestess This book will conclude with Chasing Their Unloved Luna Part 4: Hunting The Storm Bringer We have seen lots of twists and turns and tons of unexpected happenings, and there are lots of loose ends at the close of Part One so please stick with us as we continue our Journey. In Part 2, the focus shifts. We will see Kaiya and the boys in the background and may even get a surprise POV when something big happens involving them, but  now we will see Amina’s and her sisters stories and how they meet their mates. Not all chapters I post have a trigger warning, but many contain violence, sexual violence and other devious acts. If it is particularly triggering I try to include a warning. Your mental health is important, so if you read the warning and can't handle what happens, skip to the following chapter, or only read the start of the next chapter then skip to the next Thank you and please comment and reach out if you have comments/questions.

I had just returned from the world's largest tech summit when my mentor called. She has always been like a mother to me. She told me she had arranged a marriage for me, with the daughter of a close friend of hers, Tania Jones. She was a rising talent in the capital's business scene, and a number of my patents were licensed to her company, forming the core technology behind their latest products. After working late in the lab, I changed into a carefully chosen suit and went to the engagement ceremony. However, I was stopped at the entrance by Elias Yates, Tania's personal assistant. He was wearing a perfectly tailored designer suit, every detail immaculate. He looked more like the groom than I did. "If you know what's good for you, walk away," he said with an icy smirk. "An orphan with no background should know his place. You are not worthy of Ms. Jones." I frowned and replied, "Does Tania know you are speaking on her behalf like this?" Elias let out a mocking laugh. "A kept man living off his mentor's reputation could never understand how important I am to Ms. Jones." There was obsession and pride shining in his eyes. I looked at him for a moment, then dialed Tania. "If this is your idea of welcoming your fiancé," I said evenly, "then perhaps my patents should only be shown to you on paper, right before I sell them to your rival instead."

The very first thing I do after I come back to life is find a pig and get married to it. In my past life, I was on the brink of getting engaged to my lover of ten years, Anthony Warner, who was a regimental colonel. In order to celebrate my engagement, Hannah Larson, my cousin, gave me a bracelet, and since it was a thoughtful gift from her, I wore it all the time. Yet, on our engagement day, Anthony didn't just call off our engagement, but he also berated me, calling me a tramp and a homewrecker who destroyed his relationship with Hannah. I was completely at a loss and tried to defend myself, but Hannah suddenly stepped forward and burst out crying. "I know my family and educational background surpass yours, but you can't just ruin my relationship with Anthony out of jealousy, Natalie! Anthony and I have already made a lifelong commitment to each other, so please just let it go!" Anthony turned and led Hannah away. They then got engaged shortly afterward. I was left standing there, becoming the subject of gossip from my relatives. They called me a shameless home-wrecker, and their scorn extended to my parents, who were shamed for raising such a child. They eventually took their own lives from all the rumors, and I couldn't bear the pain of losing them, so I ended myself, too. I suddenly open my eyes and find myself returning to the day Hannah presents me with the bracelet.

" Where do you think you are going?!" A chilly and domineering voice rang out across the room, enough to make the atmosphere heavy. Ava froze as she was about to twist the door knob. "Shit!" She cursed under her breath and slowly turned to face the monster coming for her. " Have you forgotten what I told you?!" Lorenzo yanked her towards him and lifted her chin, allowing her dazzling dreamy eyes that were full of fears to bore into him. " You are trapped, Ava," he whispered slowly, as he gave her a killer look made to destroy hearts. ~ Known as the richest man in the city and one of the people who could dominate the country, Lorenzo was unmatched. A mafia boss....he was, and he ruled the underworld smoothly. All the people in the underworld knew just how cruel and cold he was. A word from him was enough to crumble them into nothing!

Will all his sweet tortures to her finally turn into something addicting? Can it capture them and entangle them into something lovely?

"Despite your protests look at you now." He smirked bending down and placing a kiss on my neck. "In the end you easily succumbed to me without any protest." "I don't want to die." I responded as he continued to trail small butterfly kisses along my throat, all the while lightly grazing his sharp canines against it. "Your mouth is very dishonest woman." He said lifting and staring into my eyes. "It says no while your body says yes." "You're wrong." I whispered. "Am I now?" He spoke against my skin sending goosebumps all over my body.
