Daftar Gates Of Olympus

“Who is this angel?” This was Sébastien Olivier de Monfort’s question the moment he saw Cassandra Applegate. She seemed so young, so innocent and so damn beautiful… He knew he had to have the gorgeous Cassandra at all costs. Sébastien discovers she is a young widow, and that her marriage has left her feeling ugly, broken, unwanted, and very doubtful around men. So, the moment they met in person, he took it upon himself to teach her all he needed her to know about sex, pleasure, passion… and love. In a short period, Sébastien teaches Cassandra so many things about life, about love, about herself… Right in front of her stunned eyes, he opens the gates of a new world where everything is possible, even falling in love and getting married in Paris to a devastatingly handsome French tycoon.

Cent, short for Maleficent, recently found out that she is the daughter of the great demon Beelzebub when she got a pair of horns on her eighteenth birthday instead of a pair of skating shoes. She finally got her answer why she never once felt that she belonged, turns out, she is not entirely human. When her estranged dad came knocking to take her away from her wretched foster life, Cent grabs the opportunity to be with her only ‘living’ family. But, he is called the great demon for a reason. After disturbing her life, he drops her like a sack of potatoes in front of the gloomy gates of Transylvania Academy. She realized that before her great demon dad can accept her, she still needs to prove herself worthy. Does she have what it takes to carry the privilege as an only child of a great demon? Does she have what it takes to be a monster?

Setelah ketujuh kalinya dijanjikan akan menikah tapi kembali diingkari oleh Rafli, aku akhirnya memutus semua hubungan dengannya secara sepihak. Kalau dia hadir di acara perkumpulan teman, aku tidak akan datang. Kalau dia diundang tampil dalam acara reuni sekolah, aku akan pergi lebih awal. Kalau kantorku memilih kerja sama dengan perusahaannya, aku langsung mengundurkan diri. Bahkan saat malam tahun baru, dia datang ke rumah orang tuaku untuk bersilaturahmi, aku pun berdalih keluar mengunjungi teman. Nomornya aku blokir dan akun instagramnya kuhapus dari daftar pertemanan. Intinya, aku ingin memutus hubungan tuntas dengannya. Aku tidak menghubunginya dan dia pun tidak akan bisa melihatku. Selama 30 tahun pertama hidupku, sebagian besar waktu kuhabiskan untuk mencintainya dengan sepenuh hati, merawat dan memperhatikannya tanpa pamrih. Sampai akhirnya, setelah yang ketujuh kalinya dia ingkar janji untuk menikahiku, aku benar-benar sadar. Aku tidak mau hidup seperti ini lagi. Meski harus menjalani hidup sendirian, tetap saja lebih tenang daripada terus-menerus menunggu di rumah kosong yang tak pernah dia datangi!

Sudah lima tahun menikah, tiba-tiba cinta pertama suamiku mengunggah foto sertifikat rumah di instagram. Dia menulis, "Terima kasih Kak Boni sudah memindahkan kepemilikan rumah ini untukku." Aku terkejut melihat alamat di sertifikat itu adalah rumah kami, jadi aku memberikan komentar, "?" Tak lama kemudian, suamiku langsung meneleponku dengan nada marah, "Dia itu ibu tunggal, kasihan sekali. Aku hanya memindahkan kepemilikan rumah supaya anaknya bisa lebih mudah untuk daftar sekolah nantinya. Itu nggak akan mengganggu tempat tinggal kita!" "Kenapa kamu nggak punya hati nurani? Masa nggak bisa sedikit bersimpati?" Di balik telepon, terdengar suara tangisan lembut dari cinta pertamanya. Setengah jam kemudian, cinta pertamanya mengunggah lagi, kali ini menandai aku di unggahannya. Dia memamerkan sebuah mobil mewah seharga dua miliar, lengkap dengan catatan, "Dibayar lunas, seperti kata pepatah, pria yang mencintaimu akan rela menghabiskan uang untukmu." Aku tahu itu hadiah dari suamiku untuk menenangkannya. Tapi kali ini, aku sudah memutuskan untuk bercerai. Bukankah hanya memberinya sertifikat rumah?

Ariana menarik napasnya dalam-dalam, ketika ia mendengarkan permintaan kedua mertuanya. "Pernikahan kalian sudah menginjak tahun ke lima, Ariana. Janganlah menundanya terus, kami mau cucu laki-laki dari Sagara!" ucap Alex, Papa mertuanya. "Iya, Mama juga Ariana. Sebenarnya, apa yang kamu takutkan?" sela Arisa, Mama mertuanya. "A-aku hanya belum siap saja," jawab Ariana lirih. "Alasan kuno. Seharusnya, sebelum menikah itu kamu pikirkan ini baik-baik! Kamu mau kami mati berdiri karena terlalu lama menunggu cucu dari Sagara?" "Tidak begitu," bantah Ariana. 'Bagaimana caraku menjelaskan semuanya kepada mereka? Bahwa aku memang sudah di vonis mandul oleh beberapa Dokter yang menanganiku.' "Kami tidak mau tahu, Ariana. Kami mau generasi kami tidak berhenti sampai Sagara. Kalau kamu kukuh dengan kata-kata belum siap, maka izinkan Sagara menikahi perempuan lain yang bisa memberinya keturunan!" Degh. Bagaimana kisah Ariana dan Sagara? Simak ceritanya, yuk!

In front of the orphanage gates, Rebecca Schwartz, the impoverished student I had been sponsoring, stood glaring at me with a face full of disdain. "If you don't let Freddie come along, I'm not going to your house either," she declared, her tone sharp and unyielding. In the past, blinded by love and hopelessly infatuated, I would have caved to her demands, humbling myself just to keep the peace. But things were different now—I had been reborn. Staring at this despicable pair, who had once caused my tragic demise, a tidal wave of fury surged within me. Yet, it settled into nothing more than a faint, icy smile on my lips. "Then stay here," I said, my voice cold and steady. "Rot in this place alongside your precious Freddie. After all, trash like you belong in the garbage heap."

Handsome, sharp, and newly wealthy from an investment, Richard Underhill is qualified to enter a secret and very restricted gentleman's club, Aphrodite. Only a handful of selected men is adequate for entry into the gates of a world full of beauty, passion, and desirable women. And one of these women catches Richard's heart in a beat. But there is one catch...  Candice. Aka. Harlee Moore is Aphrodite's highest-paid worker, and she is a pro at seducing the men, but her motto states; you can look, not touch. After locking eyes with a certain gentleman one night, (a very handsome one,) Candice knows that she needs to protect her heart at all costs; because he makes it very clear that he wants her and he is getting very hard to resist. But Candice closed the door to her heart a long time ago; vowing never to trust another man ever again.

It's Family Day at my daughter, Hannah Neel's, preschool, but my wife, Samantha Miller, says she has to work and tells both Hannah and me not to go. Seeing the disappointment on Hannah's face breaks my heart, so I bring her to school anyway. As soon as we step through the gates, I see Samantha. She's holding her childhood friend—Oscar Barnett's—hand, with a little boy clutching her other. The three of them look like a perfect family, laughing and chatting, as if they belong together. When Samantha sees us, her smile fades, and she lets go of Oscar's hand. "Zach, it's not what you think. Oscar's raising his son alone. Today's his fifth birthday, and he just wanted to give him a little taste of a mother's love," she says quickly. I study her for a moment, then kneel and gently take Hannah's hand in mine. "Sweetheart, say hello to the lady."
