Cruel World

In a world ruled by power, fear, and blood, Dante Ricci is nothing short of a walking demon. A powerful mafia boss, he commands respect through sheer brutality, feared by his enemies and even those closest to him. Dante despises weakness, ruthlessly crushing anyone who dares to oppose him or show vulnerability. Cold-hearted, dominant, and cruel, he lives by the law of the underworld—survival of the fittest. On the other side of the city lives Elena Carter, a cheerful and innocent college student. Adopted by parents who despise her, she has always felt out of place in a world that offers her little love. Unbeknownst to her, her real parents were killed years ago, but she knows nothing of the dark secrets that shroud her past. She’s focused on her studies, trying to live a normal life despite her broken family. Fate takes a dark turn when Elena accidentally witnesses Dante in the middle of a brutal murder, crime no innocent eyes should have seen. Dante, always careful to eliminate any loose ends, has no choice but to kidnap her. She’s nothing more than a liability, a weakling in his eyes, and his first instinct is to kill her. As secrets unravel and tension mounts, Dante must confront the demons of his past while Elena fights to survive in a world she never belonged to. Will Dante’s hatred and heartlessness lead him to kill her, or will the unexpected connection between them change their lives forever?

“Is it because I am blind?” “Yes.” said Violet without hesitation. “It was easy to deceive you because you couldn't see.” “I guess it was.” Kian bowed his head, “I'm sorry for not realizing that sooner, but I won't let you be killed either. I gave you my word.” Violet unsheathed the saintess's sword and took three steps backwards. Kian stood there, unsure of what she was trying to do. “Your promise doesn't matter. I'd rather commit suicide than be killed by you hypocrites!” “How do you think your aunt will feel about you doing this to yourself then?” Violet paused in her steps. H-how? She couldn't even bring herself to ask anything. Using Violet's distraction, Kian grabbed her right arm and moved her away from the cliff. Then he placed a crystal in her right hand, “Go. The crystal will show you the way out ” She hesitated, “B-but—” She was interrupted by Kian's innocent peck on her lips, “I promise, you won't be hurt.” “Didn't you say that was a way of sealing promises between outsiders?” Violet's lips trembled and her hands, unevenly. Why was he acting so weird? He was blind. How could he kiss her? How could he.. She was slowly losing her mind. “Get going then. We'll definitely meet again when fate joins us together.” he smiled making 's heart beat loudly in guilt. ‘I'm sorry’ she thought as she turned to leave.

This is a story set in a much advanced technology era where the machines and specifically robots have taken over the city.

Alea Devina (20) tidak pernah menyangka malam paling hancur dalam hidupnya akan menjadi awal dari sesuatu yang lebih rumit dari sekadar penyesalan. Setelah dikhianati kekasihnya, Alea mencari pelarian dalam kebodohan sesaat—segelas minuman, tawa asing, dan pelukan seorang pria yang terasa hangat di antara kekosongan—one night stand. Namun, dunia Alea runtuh ketika ia sadar: pria itu adalah Darren Vahl (32) dosen baru di jurusan yang sama dengannya. Berusaha melupakan malam itu, Alea kembali fokus pada kuliahnya. Tapi ketika dua garis merah muncul di test pack yang tergenggam di tangannya, semua rasa takut yang ia tahan pecah. Di saat yang sama, Darren terkejut ketika tahu kebenaran yang tidak seharusnya terjadi antara dosen dan mahasiswi—hubungan terlarang yang bisa menghancurkan keduanya. Namun seiring waktu, Darren menemukan ketenangan yang tak ia temui di mana pun dalam diri Alea, sementara Alea menemukan sisi lembut Darren di balik sosok tegas dan tertutupnya. Mereka berdua terjebak dalam dilema: menjaga reputasi dan masa depan, atau mengikuti sesuatu yang tumbuh diam-diam di antara rasa bersalah dan cinta yang tak seharusnya ada. Tapi cinta yang lahir dari kesalahan tidak pernah berjalan mudah. Saat rahasia mulai terkuak, batas antara yang benar dan yang salah kabur perlahan—dan mereka harus memilih: bertahan dalam bayang-bayang dosa, atau berjuang untuk cinta yang semua orang anggap salah. Belum lagi pertentangan dari segala pihak yang menginginkan keduanya untuk berpisah karena memang dari awal tidak semestinya bersama.

“Bukankah kamu bilang ayahmu orang yang baik?” “Ya. Ayahku memang dingin dan jarang bicara, tapi dia selalu menuruti semua keinginanku. Dia tidak akan marah tanpa alasan.” Gadis muda berambut pendek itu menaiki tangga sambil tersenyum yakin pada sahabatnya. Namun malam itu, semua keyakinannya runtuh. “Luar biasa, Rhea. Kamu benar-benar luar biasa!” Elroy mencengkeram kedua tangan Rhea, menahannya di atas kepala. Tatapannya dalam, membuat gadis itu tercekat. “Kamu sungguh mengira tidak ada yang terjadi malam itu?” bisiknya. Apakah Rhea terjebak? Atau justru sejak awal, dialah yang sengaja mendekati pria itu? Karena bagi Elroy, sekali dia menginginkan sesuatu… Maka itu akan menjadi miliknya. Selamanya. WARNING 21+
