Chord Under The Influence

Sepupuku adalah seorang influencer kecantikan yang suka melakukan transformasi penampilan melalui riasan. Saat aku menolak menjadi modelnya, dia malah memutuskan untuk membuka peti jenazah dan merias nenekku saat pemakaman demi menarik perhatian. Alhasil, wajah kaku nenekku di dalam peti jenazah dipenuhi dengan berbagai highlighter dan glitter. Aku menghentikan siaran langsungnya, dan sekarang dia sangat marah padaku. Menjelang hari pernikahanku, dia tiba-tiba muncul dan berkata, "Kak, keterampilanku sudah meningkat. Hari ini aku pasti akan membuatmu menjadi pengantin tercantik, bagaimana?" Melihat produk makeup yang dibawanya, yang merknya belum pernah kulihat sebelumnya, aku pun setuju. Dia tidak menyadari bahwa aku sudah tahu niatnya sejak awal.

Levi Zephaniah Terrano, the heiress of her father's company grows as elegant, powerful and a confident woman. She doesn't want any people to invade her way and decisions. Until she encountered Danillo Zillan, the CEO of the biggest oil manufacturing company who just declined her company's proposal of partnership. Their company needs the partnership badly but she will never beg, she will never find herself saying 'please'. She will make the situation severely opposite. That Zillan will plead to her, ask her for forgiveness. That's who she is, manipulative.

My husband was tall and handsome, but he had no money to pay his debts. During the five years of our marriage, I sold my house and car for him. We then moved to a dark and humid basement that was only 300 square feet in size. When I got pregnant, I wanted to go for checkups, but he said that there was no need for it, as it was a waste of money. So I gave birth to a baby with a congenital heart condition. In order to get the money for his surgery, I worked three jobs every day. At that time, I noticed that my husband bought a mansion worth 40 million dollars for an influencer, and I finally realized that my husband was no orphan, but the son of the richest man in the country.

“ว่าแต่เธอชื่ออะไรนะ” "ฮานะค่ะ" "ชื่อเหมือนนางเอกหนังเอวี" ฮานะอ้าปากเหวอเมื่อได้ยินคำพูดของเขา "ทำไม? ฉันพูดผิดตรงไหน" "ถ้าฉันเปรียบเทียบชื่อคุณบ้าง คุณจะรู้สึกยังไง คุณกำลังบูลลี่ชื่อฉันอยู่ รู้หรือเปล่าคะ" "ฉันชื่อธันเดอร์ ไหนลองเปรียบเทียบมาสิว่าชื่อฉันเหมือนอะไร" "ชื่อเหมือนหมาที่คนแถวบ้านฉันเลี้ยงเลยค่ะ" "นี่เธอ!!!"

"You're a little rag doll, aren't you? You want to be tossed around, you want me to use you anyway I see fit. Because you know. . . you fucking know. . . " He thrusts so hard, pain stabs my stomach. "You're my favorite toy." **************************************************************************************** They say bad boys don't fall in love. It's even worse when said bad boy is the head of the LA mafia group. Ash Thunder is a debonair stud with multi billion dollars in his coffers from his many businesses. He's got his sights set on Alicia, a demure Latino with the face of an angel and the body of a stripper. At first, she's just someone to pass time with but he later finds he can't let go off her that easily. He's in pleasure land until someone's death drags him into the murky land of his past. He can't figure out what to do - if moving forward with Alicia will jeopardize hire safety. He tries, he really does try to protect her, but it comes at a steep cost. When someone takes up his identity and leaves a slew of dead bodies, he decides to fess up and find out, once and for all, who stands behind the mask. What he find isn't pretty. It could lead to Alicia’s death, or his. Probably both!

On my way to work, I came across a livestream from an influencer who posted about her relationship, tagged at my company’s location. She was talking about her office romance with the CEO of a major corporation. But wasn’t the CEO of her company my husband? I clicked on her profile and saw that it was full of wedding-prep posts. The man never showed his face, but his build looked almost exactly like my husband’s. So I left a comment in the livestream: “I heard the CEO of Gibson Corporation has been married for a long time. So what does that make you...?” The streamer muted me, then instantly burst into tears. “The internet isn’t lawless. If you keep spreading rumors and calling me a mistress, I’m calling the police.” Her fans immediately swarmed me. “You’re probably the other woman yourself. That’s why your mind went there.” “I checked her profile. She’s some woman in her thirties. She’s obviously jealous because the streamer is young, pretty, and has a rich, powerful boyfriend who dotes on her.” “The account’s brand new. She’s obviously just a troll.” I tried to say more, only to realize I had already been kicked out of the livestream, and my account had been reported until I couldn’t even log back in. I stared at the proof of our marriage in the drawer for a long moment. Then I raised my hand and smacked my sleeping husband awake. “Exactly how many wives are you planning to have?”

In a luxury boutique, a male influencer and I are eyeing the same watch. I'm about to give it up when I hear the salesperson yell at me in a shrill voice, "Get your filthy hands off it right now! Mr. Parr saw it first. How dare you compete with him? He's an important customer of our store!" I freeze and see Alan Parr staring at me with utter disgust, his arms crossed. "You think a country bumpkin like you deserves that watch? Do you even know how much its accessories cost? A pauper like you definitely can't afford it!" he snaps, then holds up a card and signs the receipt. However, the name he signs is my wife's. The supplementary card he's holding is the one I gave my wife for her allowance.

No one has seen his face but everyone has heard about him. Where ever his name is called, the result is absolute and complete destruction. He is known to wipe out an entire pack in just few minutes, and never ever has been there a survivor to tell what exactly happened there. Sone say he attacks Alpha's, others say he targets rogues. But no one knows who will be his next target. They say sky gets covered by dark clouds before he arrives and thunder strikes the ground he stands. The werewolf council declared him the most wanted wolf in the entire werewolf world with the order of kill in sight. If only they could get him in sight. With sight of an eagle, speed of lightning and roar of thunder. He was the most powerful wolf ever known to exist. He was the thunder wolf. Or should I say she?

The head which was expected to be held high to bear the crown of a princess, was bowed down in fear. The eyes which always saw love and care were forced to see blood and tears. The lips which were always smiling were quivering with horror and nightmare. The hands which were always held by her parents for safety and care, were now alone to shudder rapidly in fear. With time all wounds disappeared but their marks continued to boil her blood in vengeance for those who brought her here. The royal blood running in her veins will not let her stop till she has punished all those who played unfair. The girl was Ezra Grey Allistair and she was going to be everyone's worst nightmare. With eyes as blue as thunder and hair as dark as night. She was the resurrection of the strongest known wolf to exist. She was the thunder wolf. *Could be read stand alone.
