El Don Italiano

Aku bertemu pria misterius itu ketika pindah kontrakan, dia begitu baik dan tampan. Namun, entah kenapa aku tertarik padanya padahal aku curiga kalau dia memiliki hubungan dengan Ibu kosku. Walaupun begitu, aku tidak berdaya ketika ayah justru menjodohkan aku dengan Mas Ragil itu. Selain karena desakan ayah, aku setuju menikah juga karena dua adikku. Rumah tanggaku berjalan tidak seperti yang aku harapkan, karena setelah kedua adikku menikah, masalah rumah tangga mereka mengganggu hubungan pernikahanku. Kemisteriusan mas Ragil akhirnya terbongkar satu persatu. Sungguh sejak saat itu aku jadi tahu kenapa ayah menjodohkanku. Ternyata Dia pria luar biasa, yang membuatku tidak pernah menyesal menikahinya. Permisi : Menemukan cinta sejati seperti Mas Ragil, seperti menemukan berlian di antara badai. Masa lalu yang buruk tidak akan memisahkan cinta kami. Apalagi hanya soal orang ketiga. Kekuatan jiwa dalam menjalani rumah tangga adalah kuncinya, meski otak kadang lemah untuk berpikir.

He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

"Kamu tahu? Terkadang alasan kita berhenti mencintai seseorang bukan karena kita telah membencinya, tetapi karena kita sudah mulai menyadari bahwa mungkin saja seseorang itu akan lebih bahagia ketika kita melepaskannya." Kali ini, airmata sudah lancang turun membasahi pipi Zea Mahia Farhana. Dia tak lagi mampu membendungnya. Niat hati tak ingin menyakiti, tetapi dengan lancangnya pisau itu telah menggores luka di hati seseorang. Jika takdir belum berpihak pada keduanya, maka mustahil cinta itu hadir. Negeri Kinanah menjadi saksi atas perjalanan kisah cintanya. Dia yakin, bahwa takdir tak akan pernah salah mengetuk pintu hati. Dia yakin, pada akhirnya dia hanya akan mencintai dan dicintai oleh lelaki yang telah Allah tetapkan untuknya sejak zaman azali.

In a dystopian world that is controlled with surveillance, Synecdoche Rochet embarks on a mission to get back their rights on their district's valuable resources—the grains. When she discovered her intellectual ability, she found herself drawn to the charismatic Giovanni, the long-lost Ambassador's privileged son together with other intelligent students, Ulap, Token, and Keithwarth. They found themselves being the tributes on the 2nd Maharlika Spelling TwistBee—trapped in the Word Arena. An annually commemorated game where each district will represent one letter in the Alphabet, spell the given English words not verbally, but by beating other competitors who have letter tattoos on their arms. The rules are to Spell and beat them. Within the competitor's reach, the team-up of Synecdoche, Giovanni, Ulap, Token, and Keithwarth isn't a coincidence, it's a conspiracy. What if Synecdoche's age will be reversed? Will they use their intelligence for vengeance? Will they compel love and trust to survive the competition? Is their life the price or the prize? "Even the shortest word has the longest meaning."
