Candra Maya

Aku hanya menghadiri satu pesta di lingkungan baruku yang kaya. Tidak lama setelah itu, tetanggaku Nadia menuntutku. Di pengadilan, dia menggendong putrinya Tiffany yang tubuhnya penuh memar dan luka. Dia menuduh anak lelakiku telah memperkosa putrinya. Di tengah persidangan, Tiffany menarik kerah bajunya ke bawah dan bekas merah melingkar jelas di lehernya. "Dia mencoba merobek celanaku," katanya terisak. "Dia mencoba memperkosaku dan aku melawan. Jadi dia memukulku dan merusak wajahku!" Di luar gedung pengadilan, para demonstran mengangkat papan-papan bertuliskan hinaan, menyebut putraku sampah, dan anak orang kaya manja. Di dunia maya, sebuah memorial hasil editan fotoku menyebar luas. Tulisannya berbunyi: [Ibu yang tidak layak seharusnya mati bersama putranya.] Saham perusahaanku mengalami penurunan drastis. Namun aku tetap duduk di sana, wajahku tanpa ekspresi. Aku hanya meminta agar Rian dibawa masuk. Pintu ruang sidang terbuka. Semua orang terdiam ketika Rian melangkah masuk.

Mi mejor amiga, Maya, voló desde Miami para la semana de mi despedida de soltera. Eran mis últimos días de libertad. Insistió en organizar una noche de chicas para celebrar y pidió toda mi comida favorita a domicilio. Me pidió que le cuidara el celular y esperara un momento. Entonces, la pantalla se iluminó. Era un mensaje de un hombre. Una foto sin camisa. “Mi arma está lista para ti esta noche”. Llegó otra foto vibrando. Juguetes sexuales. Accesorios de bondage que parecían sacados de una película. Sentí que la cara me ardía. El corazón me latía descontrolado contra las costillas. Acababa de tropezarme con su vida secreta. Pero la siguiente imagen me cortó la respiración. Era un primer plano del pecho del hombre. Tenía una cicatriz que yo conocía mejor que mi reflejo. Era de mi prometido, Luciano Carbone.

When a mysterious stranger named Thorne confronts young Calla Merin with questions about a "pack" and a heritage she doesn't remember, Calla is thrust into the hidden world of werewolves. She quickly learns she's the last descendant of two legendary bloodlines—and her rare golden wolf form marks her as the fulfillment of a prophecy that some would kill to prevent. Thrust into the Moonveil pack, Calla must master her newfound powers while navigating deadly pack politics. But she's not alone—her best friend Maya harbors her own supernatural secret, and together they face the challenge of building crucial alliances between packs who have been isolated for generations. As the Shadow Covenant emerges from the darkness with enhanced soldiers and sinister plans, Calla must learn to wield the Golden Wolf Network—an ancient power that connects allied packs but also makes her a target. With enemies infiltrating their ranks and time running out, she faces an impossible choice: master abilities that could destroy her from within, or watch everyone she loves fall. Because someone out there knows what she is… and they're hunting the Golden Wolf.

The night before my mating ceremony with Alpha Garrett Northwood of the Silverpine Pack, he held a grand Luna ceremony for my silver-poisoned stepsister behind my back. He held Serena close under the starlit sky, his smile tender in a way I'd never seen: "You're the only one I truly love, Serena." "Even though Maya and I are already registered as mates with the Alpha Council, she'll never have my heart. You're the only one I recognize as my Luna." The pack members cheered and blessed them as they completed the ceremony with joy. I watched it all without crying or screaming. Instead, I quietly scheduled an abortion appointment. I've loved Garrett Northwood for twelve years, ever since I first shifted as an adult. But his heart still only had room for my stepsister Serena. If that's how it was, I'd let go. Later, I joined the secluded Herbal Research Center of the Alpha Council. I left Garrett nothing but a mate bond dissolution agreement. But for some reason, Garrett—who had always treated me with disdain—suddenly went crazy begging me not to leave.

"Look at me properly and try to remember." He implored her, his silvery eyes boring into hers. Maya raised her nervous eyes to meet his. Searching her head, she tried to remember where she may have met this man before. As she stared at him, a sense of familiarity began to settle. Those eyes... she'd seen them before. Where has she seen them? One by one, the images came. The pictures from a time she had forgotten. She had helped someone with eyes just like this. Still in his embrace, a daunting realisation began to set in. She'd met this man before. Long before he even dreamed of being a king... **************** A tyrant king conquers a kingdom so he can get married to her forgotten princess. People expect a marriage filled with strife and everything but none of that happens. Instead he treats her right, worships her and kisses the very ground she walks on. Why is that? People wonder. The reason is quite simple. Years ago, the same princess had saved his life from the bitter hands of death when he was betrayed by his half brother, the crown prince of Madonia.

Pembantu di rumahku mengklaim dirinya sebagai wanita mandiri generasi baru. Setiap hari, dia mendorongku untuk menjadi lebih independen. Memintaku mencuci baju, memasak, dan merawat anak. Dia bahkan menyarankan agar aku bercerai dengan suamiku. Belakangan, aku menyadari bahwa dia ternyata seorang influencer. Tanpa seizin dariku, dia membuat serangkaian video yang menjelekkan diriku dengan tema "melatih istri manja," lalu mengunggahnya ke internet. Bukan hanya itu, dia juga mencuri perhiasan dan pakaian dariku. Setelah aku memecatnya, dia malah menyerangku di dunia maya dan menuduhku sebagai wanita yang membenci sesama wanita, tetapi bersikap baik terhadap lelaki. Lebih parah lagi, seorang penggemar fanatiknya berhasil menyusup ke rumahku dan memberiku racun pestisida dalam air minumku. Dalam kehidupan kedua, aku kembali ke hari di mana aku pertama kali mengetahui bahwa dia memiliki akun dengan jutaan pengikut. Kalau dia memang suka siaran langsung, aku akan membuat semua orang melihat wajah asli dari "wanita mandiri" ini.

“It was supposed to be fake… until it wasn’t.” Elena Ramirez was never supposed to catch Adrian Harrington’s attention — billionaire CEO, untouchable, and dangerously charming. One moment, she’s a struggling intern juggling bills and caring for her younger sister, Maya… the next, she’s signing a contract that turns her entire world upside down. The deal is simple: pretend to be his girlfriend. No feelings. No complications. No lines crossed. But Adrian Harrington doesn’t do simple. One gala. One stolen glance. One soft touch that lingers too long… and suddenly, the line between pretend and real begins to blur. The media calls her a gold digger. Socialites like Clara Vance want her gone. Paparazzi stalk her every move, and Elena finds herself drowning in a world of secrets, lies, and scandals she never asked for. And then — the contract leaks. Every signature. Every clause. Every proof that her “relationship” with Adrian is nothing more than a carefully staged performance. Now the entire city is watching, waiting for her to break. But Elena refuses to be their victim. Because somewhere between the chaos and the cameras, Adrian’s cold walls are cracking… and the one thing more dangerous than pretending to love him is realizing she actually might. Fake dating. Real feelings. Endless betrayal. Some lies build empires. Others break hearts.
