Backrooms Level 9

"Basically, I, Jones Jackson begged to hug you and we fell asleep on my bed?" "Yes, that's exactly what it is," she maintained. "Did we...? Did you..?" His brows furrowed as his mind flashed him a thousand scenarios of what could have gone wrong. "Did I what?" "Ah, never mind, I could never with you." He shook the vague thoughts away, he didn't like her one bit so attaining that level of intimacy was implausible even under the influence of alcohol. Like she could hear his thoughts, she reflected them, "oh, that could never happen, boss, you're not my type of man. If it's okay, can I leave now?" This diminutive girl always found a way to hurt the Almighty Jackson's ego. ~~~ Maria needs an urgent way to get to the top of her career, and Jackson needs a wife to get out of trouble. These two adopt a means of using each other for their specific purposes, till their contract becomes more than they ever bargained for.

Diana, seorang ilmuwan jenius dengan spesialisasi perilaku hewan, tewas dalam kecelakaan laboratorium. Ketika dia membuka matanya kembali, dia telah bertransmigrasi menjadi "Iblis Bulan Merah" dalam novel fantasi binatang yang pernah dia baca sekilas. Dia bukanlah sang tokoh utama yang polos dan dicintai semua orang, melainkan antagonis wanita yang kejam dan haus kuasa, pemimpin klan serigala hitam yang ditakuti, yang memiliki sembilan pasangan semua penguasa klan hewan yang kuat dan dominan. Nasibnya lebih buruk dari sekadar karakter yang dibenci: dunia memberinya sebuah "Sistem Pasangan Sempurna" dengan misi tunggal: *"Tingkatkan ikatan romantis dengan ke-9 pasanganmu hingga level 'Cinta Sejati' sebelum bulan purnama kesembilan. Gagal = penghapusan jiwa."* Diana yang rasional terperangah. Dia harus menggunakan kecerdasannya—bukan untuk meraih Nobel, tapi untuk memanipulasi hati sembilan raja binatang yang keras kepala, sambil menghadapi intrik harem, persaingan klan, dan warisan kebencian yang ditinggalkan tubuh lamanya. Semua demi bertahan hidup.

"The way you behave...behave around me, with me it's highly inappropriate. I don't want you think I'll be your little assistant that you fuck on top of your desk or in the break room, if that's your intention I think it's best if you fire me or atleast send me back to work for Mr Caine," I told him after a couple seconds of silence I turned to face him to be greeted with a hard look on his face."Amelia....I'm sorry if you thought that was my intention, I can see where you would get that idea.. and I apologize for my lack of communication, in what I want,""So what do you want?" I asked my voice sounding strange I cleared my throat, he reached forward taking my ice-cream placing it on the bench his hand moving to my chin making sure I held eye contact."You..I want you Amelia," he answered his voice soft but held a level of firmness. Before another thought can pass through my mind, his lips are on mine

Pada saat malam jum’at kliwon, Aulia berjalan mendekati Lemari yang berada di sebuah kamar kosong di lantai 2. Umurnya masih sekitar 9 tahun. Dengan rasa penasaran yang menggebu-gebu, akhirnya dia berniat untuk membuka lemari itu. Tiba-tiba, “Jangan! Jangan di buka lemari itu Non Aulia!” “Loh, memang nya kenapa bu Sari?” “Pokoknya jangan non! Tolong jangan! Dan cepat anda kemari sebelum semuanya terlambat non! Cepat!!!” Seorang pembantu yang bekerja dirumah nenek Aulia mencoba menahan Aulia untuk tidak membuka lemari itu. Tapi, “Brakkk!!!” Pintu lemari itu terbuka dengan sendirinya tanpa disentuh sedikitpun. Suasana menjadi mencekam. Angin malam tiba-tiba berhembus kencang, padahal kamar itu sama sekali tidak memiliki jendela.

Lemari itu kembali menjadi lemari yang dipenuhi dengan baju-baju yang dimiliki oleh neneknya Aulia.

On our tenth wedding anniversary, I was trapped in a cabin with my daughter, Sofia Costello, as floodwaters raged outside. With shaking hands, I used the emergency satellite phone to call my mafia husband, Henson Costello, and begged for help. I dialed more than 90 times before the call finally went through, yet all I heard was the breathy moans of his first love, Angelina Rossi, on the other end. "Henson...slower..." Before I could even process the shock of his betrayal, I heard a conversation that sent me straight into hell. "That kid was dead weight anyway. Trading him for control of Pier 9 was the best deal the family ever made." It seemed that Leo Costello, my son, who had supposedly drowned at the beach five years ago, had not died in an accident after all. Henson had used him as part of a business deal.

Tears streamed down my face as my body shook uncontrollably. After ten years of marriage, I finally realized I had never truly known the man I loved and sacrificed everything for. I picked up my phone again and dialed Vincenzo Moretti's number. "Vince, I'll marry you. But you have to help me destroy the Costello family from power." After a brief silence, his voice came through the line. "Aurelia Astor, I've been waiting ten years to hear you say that."
