Combatants Will Be Dispatched Volume 7

How would you define your worth? My name is Cassey Timmerhaus, a seventeen year- old noble daughter, whose goal is to find my worth and guarantee my own happiness. In worth comes opportunities, in opportunities comes wealth, in wealth comes love, in love comes happiness, and in happiness, I can die blissfully. But the path to self- realization was harder than I presumed. The unfathomable range of emotions, the twisted justice to prove yourself righteous, the betrayals, the sinful encounters and the fight for the honorable seat, are things I never expected but had to experience. "To honor your family is the noblest thing. How could you fail in such a task as easy as breathing?" I faced countless humiliation and disgrace; degraded by the people I call family. "I am sorry, but how could we dare tarnish a lady's hand by making her work for us, mere commoners? Surely she wasn't casted away to be like this. For a noble like her, it would be better to starve than sweat her palms." The rejections from those who once respected me ruined my valued trust. She once said that in this endless pit of woes, thy love shall save me. But, I doubt that. Even if I have love, will I be able to make it last? Will I be able to make him stay? Will I ever be worth of such fortune, when I am just a grass?

"Kau bukan kriteriaku, Crys." Brandon berkata tegas. Tatapan nyalang oleh amarah. "Aku menyukai perempuan yang be--" "Perempuan muda, berusia sekitar 20-22 tahun." Crystal memotong dengan cepat. "Sedangkan aku berumur sudah seperempat abad. Aku cukup tua dan tidak akan masuk menjadi kriteria utama wanita pilihanmu." Crystal menyeringai meremehkan. "Ah, kau juga mencari wanita muda yang agresif dan berpengalaman, 'kan?" "Sedangkan aku masih belum pernah tidur dengan pria mana pun selama ini. Jadi, kau merasa aku akan sulit mengimbangimu." "Aku bodoh karena aku ingin dirimu yang pertama memilikiku seutuhnya, tapi kau sama sekali tidak tertarik denganku, Uncle." Crystal berdecak sinis. Namun, kontras akan matanya yang sudah berkaca-kaca. Ia sendiri benci harus menunjukkan kemarahannya dengan cara seperti ini. Akan terlihat lemah. "Aku hanya bisa minta maaf. Aku tidak dapat memberikanmu kesempatanmu untuk lebih menyukaiku, Crys. Itu adalah kesalahan." Brandon mulai melunak, suaranya melembut. "Kau akan tetap menjadi keponakanku, ti--" "Dan, aku akan membuatmu pada akhirnya menyukaiku. Memintaku untuk menjadi milikmu seorang." Crystal berujar mantap. "Aku pasti bersedia mengubah statusmu dari paman menjadi suamiku," imbuhnya dengan suara penuh keyakinan dan ambisius. ………………… Crystal Smith dan Brandon Smith, memang memiliki nama belakang keluarga yang sama, tetapi mereka tidak ada hubungan darah sedikit pun. Hanya secara hukum saja Brandon berstatus sebagai pamannya. Jadi, Crystal membiarkan rasa cinta tumbuh untuk pria yang sepuluh tahun lebih tua darinya. Walau, tidak berbalas sama sekali. Namun, Crystal pantang menyerah dengan apa yang diinginkannya. Dikerahkan berbagai cara agar dapat mengklaim Brandon sebagai miliknya. ………….

"I want to feel you inside me, Edward..." ~ Edward Harrington, the high-profile social elite and CEO of Harrington Group of Companies, thought that his relationship with his girlfriend was flawless until one fateful night—he caught his girlfriend fvcking with another man. To his surprise, the man his girlfriend was with in bed was his best friend. They both confessed to being in a relationship for three years, overlapping their five-year relationship. Drunk and wasted, he stumbled alone to La Cresta, a high-end resort he had originally planned as a surprise vacation for his girlfriend for their 5th anniversary. Unfortunately, it turned into his escape from the pain he felt after being betrayed by the two important people in his life. By fate, he encountered Shiela Lockheart, a feisty provincial woman with a goddess face and innocent eyes—the most beautiful woman in La Cresta.

Nia, after losing the man she loved—Ares—to a sacrifice she didn’t deserve, Nia’s life ended in guilt and heartbreak. But death isn’t her escape. Instead, the Moon Goddess Selene offers her a deal: live again in the bodies of women who met tragic ends, rewrite their stories, and fill a glowing necklace with enough energy to bring Ares’s soul back. There’s just one catch: Ares’s soul, it’s shattered, scattered across the worlds she’ll enter, hidden in the men who make her heart race and her pulse pound. From forbidden kisses with a nobleman who knows too much, to heated nights in a warrior’s tent, and the tender touch of an artist who paints her like he’s worshiping her body, every life brings her closer to completing her mission—and losing herself to desire. But as the necklace glows brighter, the truth becomes harder to ignore: these men aren’t just strangers. They’re pieces of Ares, tempting her to fall in love all over again. Will Nia bring back the man she lost, or will the fragments of him in every lover leave her longing for more than one lifetime can handle?
