Does Patrick Bateman Get Caught

Sudah tiga jam aku menunggu Eldino Marven, pacarku. Pria yang seharusnya jadi tokoh utama itu mendadak ke rumah sakit karena ditelepon oleh gadis kesayangannya. Pergelangan kaki gadis kesayangannya itu terkilir, tetapi dia malah sengaja merekam video ciumannya dengan Eldino. Saking dalamnya cinta mereka, Eldino yang kedua kakinya cacat itu ternyata sanggup bangkit berdiri dan bahkan mendorong Adena Horian ke pintu. "Eldino, kok kamu nggak kasih tahu Arissa kalau kakimu sudah sembuh?" Eldino pun menjawab. "Kalau dia tahu, dia pasti akan ribut memintaku menikahinya." "Memangnya Arissa itu siapa sih? Dia itu cuma pengasuh gratis! Apa dia pantas menikah denganku?" Eldino dan Adena berciuman dengan penuh gairah. Adena bahkan mengenakan gaun pengantin rancanganku dan melirik kamera dengan provokatif. Video pun berakhir dengan bunyi air yang menjurus. Ternyata selama ini Eldino membohongiku. Aku langsung membuang kue yang kubuat untuk pria itu ke tempat sampah. Lalu, aku menundukkan kepala dan mengirim pesan kepada ibuku. "Halo, Bu, aku mau ikut kencan buta itu."

But her plan shatters the moment she spills grape juice on Carter; the school’s golden boy, untouchable because of the power his family name possesses. Ellie 's life implodes. What begins as an accident quickly spirals into a literal nightmare. Carter makes Ellie his target, and the torment rapidly escalates until one evening they reach a humiliating agreement. Over time, lines blur adding a delicious layer of confusion to their twisted dynamic, one that neither of them care for. But just when she thinks he can't take it anymore, salvation comes from an unlikely source; her favorite teacher, one he has secretly admired. As this forbidden relationship blooms and Carter is fended off, Ellie can take a deep breath again. Everything is finally ok. Until it isn't. The ultimate betrayal leaves Ellie shattered, sitting amidst the broken pieces of her recently found happiness.

A can change everything. One with your best friend, and it changes the whole dynamic. What will you do when you get to know that your best friend has been in love with you? What will you do when she doesn't want to be friends anymore and wants more instead? * “Everytime I see you with a guy, my skin burns” Millie hisses, pinning me with an intense look that makes my belly flip. I am pinned to the wall with her caging me. “Do you know how hard it is to pretend that you are only my friend, and nothing more? That I love you but cannot have you?” Her words spin inside my head, and the thundering beating of my heart echoes in my ear. How do we come to this situation? I pant as she leans closer, her eyes averting to my parted lips. I am having thoughts of her. Hell, I see her in my dreams so often now that I am not sure what she means to me now. Millie caresses my cheeks and a shiver runs down my spine. “I can't pretend anymore, Grace. It's getting really hard” she whispers in my ear and I squirm. When she meets my eyes, I say something that surprises her. “Then don't.” I crash my lips on hers, crossing whatever lines we had.

Persahabatan mungkin bisa terjalin dalam kurun waktu yang lama. Bahkan belasan tahun. Seperti yang terjadi pada Gwen, Alexi, Inez, Jupiter, dan Eric.

Lalu sebenarnya, siapa yang berani menantang diri dalam bara api yang tercipta di antara mereka berlima?

"Arms up baby, let me play with you. Have you ever been played, Allen?" Her voice was raspy, her breath fanned my ear. She took my wrists and wrapped my silk tie on it, she was straddling me.

“I never betrayed you!” Cassandra’s voice trembled as she spoke. “Not once—not ever—” “Then whose child did you give birth to?” The Alpha, Alaric Drayden, cut in coldly, each word heavy with condemnation. The woman lying weak on the hospital bed flinched at the cruelty in his tone. “Enough. I don’t need your excuses, Cassandra.” Tears streamed down her cheeks, unstoppable. “No, my Alpha. I swear—I never betrayed you—” “I, Alaric Drayden, Alpha of the SilverFang Pack, hereby sever the bond between us. From this moment forward, no tie of fate binds us, Cassandra. I reject you as my Luna for the treachery you’ve committed.” Cassandra shook her head in disbelief, her voice breaking. “No! No! You can’t do this to me, my Alpha!” *** Betrayed by her husband. Stolen from by her own half-sister. Cast out by her pack. That was the fate everyone had wished upon Cassandra Vale, the fallen Luna of SilverFang. But a true wolf never truly dies.

But when every truth finally comes to light…would Alaric still be standing at her side?

At a dinner party, my genius painter of a husband, Henry Shepherd, used his hands, hands insured for millions, to shell crabs for his young assistant, Tamara Lee. This was all to coax her into eating a few bites when she claimed she had no appetite. Meanwhile, I drank myself into a bloody mess, trying to secure investments for him. When I asked him to hand me some antacids, he refused without even looking up. “These hands are for painting. Use your own.” For ten years, he couldn’t even be bothered to change the way he treated me. That night, as I sobered up in the cold wind, I asked my lawyer to draft a divorce agreement. "Henry, in this vast, chaotic world, our paths end here," I said inwardly
