"Aku benci wanita seumur hidupku. Dan kalian semua adalah saksi dari ucapanku!" Terucapnya sebuah sumpah empat tahun silam juga merupakan awal mulai berubahnya sikap Deondra. Dia yang awalnya ceria, penuh warna dan selalu menebarkan kebaikan. Kini berubah drastis hanya karena sebuah pengkhianatan. *** Di empat tahun kemudian, seorang wanita yang menjadi pelayan baru di rumahnya membuat Deondra sedikit terusik. Seakan ada yang menariknya untuk memiliki, hingga tanpa sadar rasa cintanya timbul. Tapi Deondra tak pernah mau mengakui itu, bahkan rasa bersalahnya pun tak tampak di saat dia dengan sengaja menodai pelayan itu. Alrix menundukkan kepalanya. "Maafkan saya, Tuan Muda. Saya akan memecatnya!" "Untuk apa lagi? Perbuatanmu itu tak bisa membuat rasa kesalku hilang!" "Lalu apa yang anda ingin saya lakukan, Tuan?" Akhirnya bertanya, hal yang bisa Alrix lakukan jika sudah tak bisa menenangkan pikiran dan emosi Deondra. "Biarkan saja dia." Alrix tersentak, menatap kearah Tuannya yang tengah tersenyum sinis. "Dia akan menjadi mainan yang bagus untukku. Karena menurut pandanganku, wajahnya cukup menarik juga." Mampukah Deondra menjadikan pelayan itu sebagai mainan? Atau justru Deondra yang harus bertekuk lutut di bawah kakinya demi mengharapkan maaf dan juga cinta? Karena Deondra akhirnya menyadari bahwa pelayan itu bukanlah gadis biasa. Bagaimana kisahnya? Simak di sini.

After being chosen by a horror game, I took over a food stall in a small town. A ghoul tried to eat me, his huge, bloody mouth a gaping maw, but I quickly shoved a focaccia sandwich into it. He chewed and then said, “Oh, forget it. With food to eat, I’ll kill her tomorrow.” The next day, I made delicious pierogies, then skewers and stews. All the ghouls who stopped by gave up on trying to kill me, focusing on eating instead. The audience watching me was shocked that I could survive all the way to the end with just my cooking.

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."

Sur une scène noyée de lumière pourpre, Sélia, danseuse de cabaret au tempérament incandescent, envoûte le public de ses mouvements sensuels. Mais une chute brutale interrompt le numéro : le noir total. À son réveil, plus de musique, plus de néons… seulement l’odeur entêtante du bois poli, le vacillement des torches, et des hommes en armure qui l’empoignent sans ménagement. Sans comprendre comment, elle a quitté son époque pour se retrouver projetée au XVIIᵉ siècle, au cœur du Royaume de Valcoris, un domaine prospère bordé par les déserts brûlants et les falaises océanes, où toute danse provocante est perçue comme un acte de sorcellerie. Face à elle se tient le Roi Lucian Aurel, jeune souverain redouté, aussi froid qu’implacable. Fasciné malgré lui par cette étrangère aux gestes envoûtants, il la déclare sorcière et ordonne sa mise à mort. Jetée dans une cellule humide, Sélia comprend qu’elle n’a que deux voies : mourir… ou séduire l’homme qui veut sa tête. Mais deux femmes rôdent déjà dans l’ombre du trône. Il y a Calandra, maîtresse officielle du Roi, jalouse et rusée, prête à défendre son privilège par le poison ou le mensonge. Et Lyria, mystérieuse conseillère royale, manipulatrice habile dont les sourires cachent des desseins plus noirs encore. Entre alliances fragiles et trahisons voilées, Sélia se retrouve prise dans un duel de regards, de mots et de désirs interdits. Plus la passion interdite grandit entre elle et le Roi, plus le fil de la lame se rapproche… car dans ce royaume, l’amour peut tuer plus sûrement que la guillotine.

I confirmed Vincent Lowe was cheating on me on the day of our third wedding anniversary. The dining table was filled with dishes, yet he barely touched his fork before heading out the door. "Where are you going?" I asked. His answer was unnervingly straightforward. "A friend's treating me to dinner. Cassidy Mason—you know her, right? It's a free meal. It'd be a waste not to accept." An hour later, however, I received a voice message from Cassidy. In the message, Vincent's voice was lighter and livelier—so different from how he ever sounded with me. "They say you should marry someone you can truly enjoy a meal with. I really regret meeting you so late. If only I had known you earlier, I would've married you instead." I listened in silence. Then, alone at the table, I finished every last bite of the meal I had prepared. Afterward, I left a divorce agreement behind.

Violet "Vee" Rivers grew up in the shadows—quiet, smart, and the constant target of one boy’s cruelty.

And he doesn’t just want her. He wants every piece of her—mind, body, and soul. She may hate him… but she won’t be able to stop herself from loving him. Even if it destroys them both.
