"Danisa," Panggil Daren, pria berusia 34 tahun yang tidak lain adalah bosnya. "Iya, Pak. Ada yang bisa saya bantu?" jawabnya. "Menikah dengan saya. Dan lahirkan anak untuk saya." Sebuah kalimat yang membuat Danisa mematung di tempat. Tak ada angin dan hujan, tiba-tiba atasannya yang tidak pernah terlihat dekat dengan wanita memintanya untuk menikah dan melahirkan anak. Daren, pria yang tidak mau dekat dengan wanita manapun. Tiba-tiba meminta dirinya untuk menikah dan punya anak dari bosnya sendiri. Memang Danisa suka uang, tapi tidak dengan menjual diri sama pria kaya yang harus mengorbankan mahkota berharganya. Lebih baik Danisa mencari sampingan pekerjaan lain dari pada harus melahirkan anak untuk bosnya.

Bagaimana bisa dia tiba-tiba memelukku? Dia pikir kita ini masih suami istri, apa? Dulu kita memang pernah bersama. Sebelum dia meninggalkanku tanpa ada penjelasan apa pun. Dan sekarang? Dia kembali mengusikku dengan mengaku kehilangan ingatan. Dia mengira kalau aku masih suaminya. Gila. Secara formal, sih, kita belum resmi berpisah. Sebenarnya surat cerai kita sudah ada di kantor pengacara, tapi belum ada satu pun dari kita yang menandatanganinya. Dan sayangnya hatiku sudah mengatakan sebaliknya. Aku muak banget sama semua drama ini. Katanya dia cuma ingin mengingat kehidupannya di Pecang. Kota kecil di mana semua kenangan kita tersimpan. Sementara aku cuma ingin tahu alasan kenapa dia pergi. Begitu ingatannya pulih, aku akan meninggalkannya. Karena bagiku, enggak bakal ada yang namanya kesempatan kedua. Tetapi ... seperti yang bisa kalian tebak, semuanya enggak berjalan sesuai rencana. ──୨ৎ────୨ৎ── Pecang with Benefit Season I

Eight years ago, my cousin Wendy Cooper was involved in a drunk driving hit-and-run. Yet, my parents made sure all the evidence pointed toward me. The victim's family waited outside my school every day with gasoline, threatening to die with me. Because of that, the school took away my guaranteed admission to university. That day, my parents and brother all tried to persuade me. "Wendy's terrified. Just give her your spot to make her feel better." I refused, fought back, and even tried to talk them out of it. But the next day, they handed me over to the police themselves. Lance Stewart, my fiance and a powerful business tycoon, had orchestrated it all. As he was afraid I'd run or cause trouble, he personally pinned several charges on me and sent me to an isolated island prison. He left me with no way out. When my sentence began, he made me a promise. "Esme, just endure it for a few years. I'll get you out once Wendy graduates, and then we'll get married."

When Nyx Calder enrolls at Briarcrest Academy, she has no intention of climbing its gilded social hierarchy. The school is built on legacy, power, and unspoken rules, and Nyx is there only to survive it. But survival becomes impossible when she collides with Alaric Moore. Briarcrest’s most untouchable student, the unchallenged ruler of its academic and social elite… and the stepbrother she never asked for. Alaric thrives on control. Nyx thrives on defiance. Their rivalry ignites in classrooms and spills into whispered confrontations after hours, each encounter sharpening the tension between them. Forced into constant competition by the academy’s ruthless merit system, they become obsessed with outdoing one another, until hatred begins to feel dangerously like something else. Something forbidden. Something that could destroy them both. Behind Briarcrest’s pristine halls lies a system designed to crush anyone who threatens its order. As Nyx uncovers how deeply the academy manipulates its students, Alaric is forced to choose between the future he was raised for and the girl who refuses to kneel, and when the rules say she should. At Briarcrest, love is forbidden, rebellion is costly, and bloodlines matter more than truth. But how far does the academy’s power really reach? What happens when loyalty to legacy collides with forbidden desire? And when the system demands one of them fall… who will it be? At Briarcrest, breaking the rules could cost them everything, but not breaking them might cost even more.

Through the bond that tied my wolf to his, I sent ninety-nine screams for help. The hundredth time, he answered—distant, distracted. "Seraphine, I'm occupied. Stop whining like a needy pup." I lay in an ice crevice, our pup suffocating in my womb, while he hunted beneath the full moon with another. Five days later, I woke in a healing den. Through the wall, I heard my mate—my Alpha—speaking of me like livestock. "Keep her under until Lysandra whelps," Leon growled to the shaman. "If she learns I drained our pup for that she-wolf's marrow, I'll have your tongue. And if you fail me—I'll burn your den to ash." I touched the mating mark burning on my throat and reached for the crystal. My voice didn't tremble. "Harris. Prepare the severance scroll. I want his signature before the moon wanes." The she-wolf who loved her Alpha died in that ravine. The one who clawed out will make him howl.

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and just barely recognizing yourself in the reflection? Well that is me, I have loved and lost. Survived and thrived, screamed and cried into my pillow tears nobody else got to see. But I never gave up hope, never lied down and never let them see me cry. Until him, he could see past the facade and see the real me. He wanted to love me, concole me and protect me. But I have lost hope in humanity, men, true love because life just arent a fairytale right? Its hard work and nothing comes easy even if you would like to believe it does it just doesnt. He is my mothers new husbands son and 10 years older than me. His blue eyes keep staring at me, it should warm me to the core right. Make me feel something anything. But it doesn't he makes women run after him and beg on their knees. But me, I have been down this road before. The charming smile, arrogant cocky attitude. It always ends the same, me covered in bruises crying on the bathroom floor. Thinking its all my fault, all me. But he just wouldn't let go. He wouldn't give up. And the more I turn him down the more it turns him on. I am only that strong before I give in,and even though I know how this is about to end. If he keeps staring at me with desire in his eyes as if I am the reason he is breathing. I know I am about to take the leap this can go down to damn ways. But the question is do I or dont I. Because fear can be your anchor or it can be your wings
