The appointment of Susan Moore as the Broadcasting Channel's executive director has forced out the station's more valued news anchor, sparking heated discussions throughout Hayworth. Susan herself is standing before me right now. She wants to sell her jewelry. As the manager of a luxury boutique store, I'm here to inspect the goods. "These are pieces my partner commissioned for me. I have so many that I'm tired of them." One of them is a diamond-encrusted necklace, featuring a pigeon-blood ruby in the center, worth a few million. There are also several similar gifts on the table, with the crocodile skin bag the least eye-catching one. I smiled. "Your husband must really love you." I set about verifying the purchaser's ID and signature as part of a routine procedure. However, I freeze in place at the sight of the name. "I'm not his wife," she replied, bringing the coffee cup to her lips. "We're just each other's first loves. He said he missed out on 15 years of my life, so he gave me 15 gifts. Isn't that romantic?" It is romantic, indeed. However, it's my father's signature. For 30-plus years, I assumed that my father was a dull man who had never once surprised my mother.

Anita Williams is a werewolf, an Alpha to be exact. She’s the leader of Velvet Waters Pack, one of the strongest and wealthiest packs in the United States. Anita had everything she could ever want, except one thing, her mate. Unlike other werewolves when she turned eighteen she didn’t feel the pull of her mate. Now 23 years old and still mateless, Anita has decided to just give up. That is until Anita and her friends decided to go out for drinks and her wolf goes crazy. She is ecstatic when she starts to feel the mate-pull, that is until her eyes land on him. Not only is Anita’s mate human he’s also not at all like she expected. Kelly Salvatore was never popular. He wasn’t the guy that a girl walked up to and shamelessly flirted with. No, he was the man that always got stuck in the friend zone and never got the girl. He was a 25-year-old antisocial virgin so, when a beautiful girl like Anita tries to talk to him he immediately shuts her out. Anita will need to channel her patience if she wants any chance at getting Kelly to accept her. Now that she’s found him, there was no way he was leaving, he was her human mate. Once again, her name is Anita Williams and this is her life story!

I’d just left a creative meeting when a TikTok video popped up on my feed, slamming my company. The title: "Stay Away! This Austin startup is incredibly cheap. The perks are a joke." The video showed off the pour-over coffee from Austin's hottest independent cafe and pastries from a top-tier French bakery. The same ones I’d just had my assistant, Sam, hand out. I frowned. In the company's Slack channel, I tagged everyone. "@here Any suggestions for this afternoon's Happy Hour?" Leo, the new Gen-Z intern, replied instantly with a voice note. “Asher, with all due respect, these snacks with gluten and dairy are so unhealthy.” “A truly visionary company would hire a private chef to customize raw, vegan bites for everyone's dietary needs. That's what respect looks like.” I laughed. It was an angry laugh. The company's daily snack budget was $25 per person. For an Austin startup, that was top of the line. I typed back: "Since it's impossible to please everyone, the snack perk is canceled. I'll convert the budget into a cash bonus for all of you." Less than five minutes later, the TikTok caption was updated. "UPDATE: Y'all, I can't make this up. I made a suggestion about dietary inclusivity, and my toxic boss just canceled all the perks! This is how toxic bosses act. Can't handle a single piece of feedback!"

My girlfriend Chloe Bennett's childhood buddy, Daniel Miller, binds himself to a transfer system. Everything he eats gets sent straight into my stomach. He creates a live stream channel and eats nonstop for 12 hours a day to rake in money. Meanwhile, I end up in the ER with acute pancreatitis. I try to explain everything to Chloe, but she just looks at me like I've lost my mind. "How could something that ridiculous exist? If food could magically transfer, nobody would starve in the world. You're just jealous he's making money from streaming." Afterward, Daniel's every live stream triggers another pancreatitis episode, sending me back to the ER until I'm barely holding on. I get tested, but the doctors can't figure out what's wrong. They even want to admit me to psych. Later, in a desperate bid to outdo another streamer, Daniel downs ten pounds of mashed potatoes at once. The overload destroys my spleen and stomach, causing massive internal bleeding that kills me. When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the day of Daniel's very first live stream. This time, I rush out and order 20 takeout dishes before him. "This time, I'm eating first."

Ibu tetaplah seorang ibu. Seburuk apapun sikapnya. Dia akan tetap menjadi ibumu. Dia akan tetap menjadi tempatmu kembali dalam Suka dan duka. Sekalipun dia telah tiada, dia akan Tetap menjadi orang yang kau sebut ibu. Mak" sapa ku pelan "Hmm kenapa?" Ucap mamak yang masih fokus menatap layar ponselnya. "Boleh matikan dulu YouTube itu, atau mamak pause lah, Laila mau bicara serius" ucapku mengiba. "Bicaralah, biar mataku menonton telingaku mendengar kamu bicara apa" ucap mamak yang masih fokus memperhatikan channel salah satu artis idolanya. Melihat jawaban mamak yang tak bersahabat aku lebih memilih berdiri, mengurungkan niatku. Saat ini ingin melangkah aku di kejutkan dengan bahasa mamak yang benar-benar kasar menurutku. "Anak tidak punya sopan santun" ucapnya. Lalu bagaimana dengan ibunya Laila? Ibu yang tidak pernah mengalah dengan anaknya, walaupun Laila telah memperlakukan ibunya sebaik mungkin. Cerita ini di kemas dengan gaya bahasa yang sedikit berbeda, menggunakan logat daerah dari kota Sumatera. Yang penasaran, yuk lanjut di baca bab demi bab. Mungkin saja akan ada pelajaran dari setiap bab yang telah di suguhkan untuk kita semua. Salam hangat A.dini :)

I was once the most respected female intelligence officer in the underworld. I controlled black market trade, port lockdowns, and risk assessments for every smuggling route. These were the basics every new recruit learned on their first day in the Mafia. But my intel was never reliable. As time went by, everyone caught on. In this city, whether the ports were locked down or open for business didn't depend on intel. It depended on whether Vincenzo's childhood friend was in a bad mood. I had just sent an order over the family's secure channel: "Level-one lockdown. All shipping routes are closed." A moment later, the ports were thrown wide open. My rival mocked me in front of everyone. "Isabella's supposed to be the queen of underworld intelligence, isn't she? What happened, did she lose her touch?" Other family members twisted the knife without a second thought. "Her husband changes the rules at a word from his precious Amelia. Who's going to listen to her anymore?" "She's on the hook for any losses from this. That route reopening is going to bankrupt her!" I clutched a stack of formal censures from the family. I said nothing. It didn't matter. I was done being a pawn in their games. Soon, I would be gone for good.

On our wedding anniversary, my CEO husband, Michael Grant, invited me to watch the ocean with him. Tragically, a typhoon hit. I stood there in the raging wind and rain for over two hours, and he never showed up. In the end, all I got was a text that he was suddenly going on a business trip and couldn’t make it. Right after that, his intern, Nora Blake, posted a video on her social feed. It showed my usually pampered husband barefoot while helping fishermen haul crates of seafood. Her caption read: "Our hardworking CEO loves to get his hands dirty!" I laughed and commented: "Diligent and enduring—a true role model for us all." The company Slack channel instantly exploded. Everyone was betting on whether I’d finally blow up this time. Michael called me, his voice tight with fury, "Lauren West! What the heck did you mean by posting that comment? Are you trying to humiliate Nora in public? "It was a typhoon. I helped her family move some fish. What’s the big deal? You’re such a pampered little princess who has no idea how hard life really is. Delete that comment now. I’ll take you to the coast another day." Disgust churned in me. I replied, "Let a man who’s already rolled in the mud take me to the ocean? Forget it." Yes. Michael was now tainted, and I didn’t want him anymore.
