Sebuah video unik viral dalam satu malam. Di dalam video itu, di puncak gunung yang diselimuti kabut, pacarku, Adriel Mahendra, berlutut dengan satu lutut dan dengan ekspresi yang lembut. Di tengah sorak-sorai, cincin di jari perempuan itu berkilau yang menandai dirinya sebagai calon istri Keluarga Mahendra. Dalam hitungan jam, video itu menduduki puncak berbagai daftar tren. Orang-orang menyebutnya sebagai lamaran paling romantis tahun ini. Isabel Santoso kemudian menulis pesan di akun media sosialnya. [Aku sudah menunggu pernikahan ini begitu lama, dan akhirnya sekarang benar-benar terjadi! Terima kasih!] Kolom komentar langsung dipenuhi seruan antusias. [Pewaris keluarga mafia dan wanita biasa? Suka banget!] [Seperti cerita di novel.] [Aku iri banget.] Aku mendatangi pacarku untuk meminta penjelasan. Tapi bahkan sebelum aku sempat membuka mulut, aku mendengar suaranya berbicara dengan sahabat dekatnya di ruang kerja. "Emangnya aku punya pilihan lain?" kata Adriel dengan nada suaranya yang sedikit kesal. "Kalau aku tidak menikahinya, ayahnya akan menjualnya." Temannya ragu sejenak. "Tapi bagaimana dengan Karina? Dia sudah bersamamu bertahun-tahun. Apa kau tidak khawatir dia bisa hilang kendali?" Adriel tertawa, sama sekali tidak peduli. "Terus kenapa kalau dia marah? Karina dan aku sudah bersama selama enam tahun. Dia tidak akan pergi. Dia tidak mungkin pergi." Hampir seluruh tubuhku terasa membeku saat itu. Sebulan kemudian. Aku menikah dengan pria lain di hari yang sama ketika Adriel dan Isabel menikah. Rombongan pernikahan kami bertemu di pusat kota. Sesuai adat, kami bertukar buket bunga di antara dua mobil pengantin yang saling berpapasan, dan jendela kami turun bersamaan. Saat itulah Adriel melihatku. Aku mengenakan gaun pengantin putih dan bukan bersamanya, tapi di dalam pelukan pria lain. Setelah bertahun-tahun mengenal Adriel Mahendra, wajah tenangnya yang selalu sempurna akhirnya retak untuk pertama kalinya.

Regan It started the day in senior high, a game of revenge that I was unaware of at that time. He starts the battle of the unknown me, a girl with a lost memory against him, a handsome bully with his demons. I thought he would forgive me for what I did to the only person who was everything to him. It wasn't intentional, yet he didn't miss a chance to hurt me where it hurt the most. I knew that I was the only one to blame here. I believed it was all my fault. Then I left something that I wished I didn't have. . Lincoln The emotions and forceful resistance I had built around my heart before, now I see them breaking into several pieces. That's what I thought until it wasn't after that reality was drawn to my mind. But still, that hole in the heart one can't fix after losing the only family one ever had. I wanted to change it, to move on with my life. Those games I have played to push away people who cared for me now tire me shitless. I even felt awful about hurting that girl more when she was never at fault. I wasn't even in my right mind to see the effort she put into healing me until. . .it was too late. She left, disappeared like she never existed in my life. Her action turned me into something that no one had seen coming. Years later, I ran into her again, who saved me from becoming my worst enemy. What happened to my sister wasn't her fault, and I no longer want to punish us both for it. I am letting go of all those grudges. And I won't let anything stop me from getting what I want.

Sadia avait du mal à ouvrir les paupières, au prix d'un effort, qui lui paru sur humain elle parvint enfin à les ouvrir. Elle ne reconnaissait pas l'endroit où elle se trouvait. La douleur qu'elle ressentait au niveau de la tête l'empêchait de réfléchir. - Mais où suis je ? -Mauvaise question chaton. S'exclama une voix d'homme rocailleuse et grave. Tu devrais te demander plutôt ce qui t'attend. Elle tourna la tête pour voir d'où venait la voix, mais l'obscurité de la pièce l'empêchait de discerner quoi que se soit. - Je vais éclairer ta lanterne. Tu es ici pour servir, obéir et te soumettre au moindre caprice de sa majesté. Nous avons débourser une petite fortune pour t'acheter. Alors on ne saurait toléré le moindre écart de conduite. Sache qu'ici ta vie ne vaut pas plus que celle d'un chien de rue. Tu es une esclave! Finit elle par dire d'une voix pleine de méchanceté et d'aigreur. - Mais... Euh... C'est... Absurde. Je ne suis pas un animal, ni un objet, on n'achète pas un être humain. S'exclama t'elle révolté. -Et pourtant on t'a purement et simplement acheté. Tu devrais nous en être reconnaissant d'ailleurs. dit il d'une voix pleine de cynisme, avant de s'en aller!

My son, Tim, was kidnapped by a group of rogues. My husband, Alpha Kieran, spared no effort, using every resource at his disposal to find him. Finally, he tracked him down to an pub training center nearby. But when Tim regained consciousness, he discovered that he was disabled. As the only son of Kieran, destined to inherit his father’s title, he couldn’t bear the reality of his condition. Despair consumed him, and in his grief, he attempted to take his own life by drowning himself in the lake within our territory. I arrived too late. By the time I pulled him from the water, my strength was nearly gone. Kieran rushed me to the pack hospital, holding me close as he whispered into my ear, "Please, Selene, stay with me. I cannot lose you too." But after my surgery, as I lay in bed, I overheard Kieran speaking to his Beta, Damon, in the hallway. "Alpha, sacrificing the rescue mission that could have saved Tim seemed… excessive. Finding another heart donor wouldn’t have been impossible. Using Tim’s—he was your only son with Luna Selene." "I allowed him to be born because I knew he could save my daughter. I’ve already raised him long enough. It’s only right that he gives me what I need now." "And the doctor said siblings have a better chance of surviving heart transplants. Ana is my most precious child—I won’t risk her suffering another heart attack." Kieran’s words shattered me. He was my fated mate, the love of my life. Yet he had sacrificed our son—our son—to save the bastard child he had with his mistress. The marriage I once cherished, the fated mate I once believed in, had now become my own personal hell.
