Booktok Social Media Platform

I attended a party that was supposed to kick off my career in Jewelry design and make me rich and famous. But that didn't go as planned, I did not meet any clients and I didn't climb up the social ladder like I imagined. All I got was the attention of a paranoid, possessive billionaire that would do anything, I mean anything at all, just to keep me by his side. “Why, Felix? What do you want from me?” I let out in frustration and sadness. He smiled and walked towards me, pulling me closer and forcing my face up to gaze into his eyes, “By now you should know the answer to that question, cupcake. I want you, Selina, and I won’t let you get away from me.” He affirmed in a hoarse tone that made me hate and love him at the same time. His words are always revealing his deep and possessive affection for me. "What am I suppose to do now, how can I hate and love him at the same time?"

The eighth time I proposed to Jason, he shut me down cold and indifferent, just like all the times before. He said he needed more time, and I was ready to keep waiting. However, out of nowhere, I saw a post on social media. He and my sister went and got their marriage certificate. When I confronted him, Jason was perfectly calm. "Tessa is pregnant and needs to avoid stress. Stop causing trouble for no reason!” Both were wearing wedding rings in the photo. Her baby bump was already starting to show. Something inside me just went quiet. I gave the post a like and left a comment. [Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and love!] A year later, Jason came to see me. He looked tired and defeated, asking to get back together. By then, I was already visibly pregnant. Before I could say a word, his best friend stepped forward with a smile and pushed him back. “Come on, man. The baby’s almost here. My wife already has a husband. She does not need a backup.”

An ambitious administrative assistant...a perfectionist and hunk executive...a dark secret...and a whole lot name calling. Deborah Green is brilliant, diligent, and on track to earn her MBA; the only stumbling block in her path is her boss, Sebastian Alvarado. He is demanding, frank, inconsiderate, and totally enticing. A Handsome Beast, at least for Deb. After spending time in France, Sebastian has moved back to Chicago to play an integral role in his family's massive media empire. He had no idea that the foreign assistant helping him out was the stunning, naive and provocative, yet completely irritating creature he now has to deal with on a daily basis. He's never been into office romance, despite the rumors. But Deb is so alluring that he is prepared to break the rules, if necessary. Everywhere in the workplace. Sebastian and Deborah's hunger for one another has reached a boiling point, and they must now decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for satisfaction. But what if she becomes entangled with the need to conceal one terrible secret —- a secret that could alter the course of her entire life? Given the stakes, she must keep it a secret or she's totally done.

Raine Ellery never imagined her survival would come at a deadly price. Confined in a contractual marriage with the billionaire CEO Cassian Ashcroft to save her late mother's legacy, Raine simply had to escape her crumbling world. But the moment she signs the contract, Cassian collapses at her feet, and by midnight, he's declared dead. The media named her the bride of bad luck. The public thinks she’s cursed, while the Ashcroft board accuses her of murder. And the bargain she thought would be her salvation becomes a trap from which she cannot escape. Imprisoned in a penthouse filled with secrets and haunted by scandals, Raine is forced to play a high-stakes game of silence and survival. But when rumors of Cassian's secret enemies, a hidden inheritance war, and a conspiracy of faked death begin to surface, Raine is drawn into a quest for the truth before the world buries her with it. And just when she believes it's the end, Cassian returns—alive. Now Raine must face the most dangerous twist of all: the man she never truly knew is back… and he is not alone in what he wants.

Could she possibly love someone else's?" The reporters press on, clarifying their query: "Do you mean she only loves money, not you as a person?" Barlen remains composed: "She loves my money, and I love her as a person. Is there a problem with that?" In a single sentence: He redeems her with all his love and warmth. How could I not be enamored with someone like you?

Thomas membuang cincin pernikahan rancangannya sendiri dan meninggalkan tempat upacara pernikahan tanpa menoleh ke belakang. Aku terdiam di tempat dalam balutan gaun pengantinku, kakakku yang sedari tadi menopang melepaskanku, “Cindy Marissa, kamu selalu kuat, aku tahu kamu bisa menghadapi ini sendiri, sekarang Yana lebih membutuhkanku daripada kamu.” Setelah mengatakan itu, dia juga pergi. Mereka pergi demi wanita yang sama, meninggalkanku sendirian. Malam itu, setelah membereskan kekacauan acara pernikahan, Yana mengirimkan foto kepadaku. Dalam foto itu, Thomas dan kakakku berada di samping tempat tidurnya. Kalung buatan Thomas ada di leher Yana. Gaun pengantin rancangan kakakku dikenakan oleh Yana. Semua barang-barang ini seharusnya milikku. Akhirnya aku menyerah dan menelepon sambil menangis, “Ayah, ibu. Aku berubah pikiran, aku ingin pulang.”

Demi Papa, itu saja. Karena di dunia ini aku hanya punya Papa. Baik sebelum Mama meninggal atau sesudahnya. Karena, ya, apa yang bisa kudapatkan dari seorang mama yang selalu mementingkan dirinya sendiri? Setiap hari, dunia ini terlalu sempit bagi Mama sehingga Papa dan aku nggak lebih berarti dari pada semua kegiatan arisan, shopping dan media sosialnya. Sekarang, sudah hampir lima tahun aku menjadi boneka---istri imitasi---Kenzy. Pria dewasa yang hampir separuh usianya habis untuk foya-foya dengan fatamorgana. Bukan hanya itu, dia juga nyaris meregang nyawa karena terlalu banyak mengkonsumsi obat-obatan terlarang. Apakah aku bahagia? Apakah aku tidak menyesal karena telah melewatkan dan mengorbankan indahnya masa remaja? Apakah aku tidak ingin pergi dari kehidupan Kenzy yang semakin parah? Entah, aku tidak tahu! Hanya satu yang aku ketahui, Papa bisa tersenyum bahagia di atas kursi putar empuknya. Itu saja.
