Saat gladi resik pernikahan, rekan kerja perempuan tunanganku tiba-tiba menyerbu dan menghancurkan dekorasi hingga berantakan. "Jared janji mau nikah sama aku, siapa kamu ini sebenarnya?" tanyanya. Dia merebut gaun pengantinku yang bernilai puluhan miliar. Namun karena tubuhnya terlalu gemuk, bahkan kepalanya saja tidak bisa masuk di gaun itu. Aku mengejeknya, "Jangan-jangan kamu terlalu gemuk sampai gaun pengantin ukuran besar ini pun nggak muat di tubuhmu?" Dengan wajah yang memerah karena malu dan marah, Quincy memaksa dirinya masuk ke gaun itu. Dalam sekejap, bagian punggung dan pinggang gaun itu robek hingga terbentuk lubang-lubang besar yang mencolok. Dengan percaya diri, dia berkata, "Memangnya kenapa kalau kurobek gaun ini? Jared cinta sama aku dan bakal beliin aku gaun pengantin yang baru." Namun saat acara pernikahan dimulai, Quincy terkejut bukan main. Pengantin pria yang berjalan mendekat sama sekali bukan Jared, melainkan bos besar mereka. Lagi pula, aku tidak pernah mengatakan bahwa ini adalah pernikahanku.

Kekasih masa kecilku berjanji akan menikahiku begitu kami cukup umur, tapi malah terang-terangan memberikan cincin kepada kakak tiriku, Jessica, di hari pernikahanku. Yohan-lah, pewaris mafia yang ditakuti semua orang, melangkah dengan lantang mengatakan bahwa akulah wanita yang telah dia cintai diam-diam selama bertahun-tahun. Selama lima tahun pernikahan kami, setiap keinginanku kecil yang tanpa sengaja aku ucapkan akan selalu dia wujudkan. Sampai aku benar-benar percaya bahwa akulah pusat dari seluruh dunianya. Sampai suatu hari, saat aku sedang merapikan rak buku, tanpa sengaja aku menjatuhkan sebuah berkas rahasia yang tersembunyi di bagian terdalam rak milik Yohan. Halaman pertama adalah data Jessica dan di atasnya, tertulis tulisan tangan Yohan dengan tinta merah tebal [Terpenting, lindungi Jessica.] Lalu di bawahnya, terdapat laporan misi yang sangat aku kenali. Misi yang sangat kutakuti. Malam itu, ada yang mencoba membunuhku. Begitu bantuan tiba, aku hampir mati kehabisan darah. Saat sadar di rumah sakit, aku baru tahu bahwa janin kecil di rahimku sudah tiada. Aku menangis sejadi-jadinya di pelukan Yohan, aku sangat hancur. Tapi aku tidak memberitahunya tentang kehilangan itu, aku tidak ingin membuatnya lebih khawatir lagi. Baru sekarang aku mengerti bahwa malam itu, Jessica juga mendapat percobaan pembunuhan. Perintah yang dikeluarkan Yohan adalah, "Selamatkan Jessica terlebih dulu." Air mataku menetes di atas kertas itu, membuat tulisan merahnya memudar. "Baiklah." Aku berbisik di tengah kesunyian, suaraku serak tapi tegas. "Kalau pernikahan kita hanyalah kebohongan yang kamu rancang dengan cermat, maka aku akan menghilang dari duniamu … untuk selamanya."

Crossing part with Satan's heir was never my plan. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and now, he is under my tail. Betrayed by my supposed fiancé, stuck with the devil himself. If he was the only man on Earth, I would rather die single, but I can't, not when he stalks me, makes me shiver at his touch and make me beg desperately, on my knees. I wasn't ready to accept him in my life, not after the first betrayal from my fiancé but he forced his way into my life, and turned my world upside down.

On the day of my wedding to James Jonas, his best friend, Mia Rodriguez, appeared in front of me, pregnant. She cried with tears in her eyes, “Ames, you have everything. Please, just give James to me. I’m having… his baby…” I ripped off my veil and threw it on the floor. Turning around, I saw James' panicked eyes. Perhaps he remembered our contract: If anything goes wrong with this wedding, his fortune will be mine.

On her first week on the job, she meets Jenson Ross, a big-deal actor with a murky past and a dark secret only a privileged few know about. × Genres: Romance, Werewolf, Crime EXCERPT [BOOK I of CALI ALPHAS ] _ _ _ "Dollface," he murmured with a little smirk. He snickered and caressed the back of her head, pulling her closer to his chest. "You're like an antidepressant, in human form." Her breath caught.  Her heart sped up when his hug tightened. His warm face pressed onto her neck, his strong hands lightly squeezing her hips. Moments like this only worsened her attraction to him.  The flirty jokes, the easy conversations, the small smiles, his furtive glances, and his unusually sweet gestures lately... She was in deep trouble. Was he kissing her neck?  Shit. He was no longer thinking straight.  About this. About her. About the consequences. He drew her closer when she tried to pull away. As if he didn't want her out of his sight. While his beard scraped her skin, his thighs touched hers. Her throat ached as he stared into her eyes. "Dammit," he sighed, his thumb tracing the curve of her neck, his touch both gentle and eager.  "Why are you so f-cking beautiful?"  "Joss, I need to g—" "Why now?" he murmured, stroking her cheek. He wasn't acting drunk or playing with her.  Not like this. He wouldn't. Not with her real feelings barely held together by some unspoken truths. Otherwise he wouldn't dare let it get this far.  But why wouldn't he let go? "Just stay. Please. Stay here with me." _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
