Nathaniel Reid had always despised being bound by our engagement. To spite me, he recklessly raced cars and caused trouble, indulging in all sorts of reckless behavior. And every time, I cleaned up his mess. Then, a girl named Joanna Smith appeared in his life. On the night of my birthday banquet, he scoured the entire city for a simple breakfast wrap for her and never even bothered to show up. I had already prepared for this moment. That night, I approached my family and asked to change the engagement. "It didn’t have to be Nathaniel." I thought of the distant, composed man from my dreams—the one who had always hidden his quiet, unwavering love for me. A smile flickered across my lips as I said softly, "Didn’t he still have an uncle?"

Two souls, forged in suffering, would collide in a dance of darkness and desire, testing the limits of love and redemption. Their paths meet when Asher's sister becomes the target of a predator, and Kaidën sees an opportunity for justice. As they navigate their dark worlds, they must confront the demons that haunt them. Will Asher's desire for protection and Kaidën's quest for vengeance spark a twisted romance, or will their shattered reflections destroy them? *** “You killed my mother.” Asher's voice trembled with fury. Kaidën's smile was cold, almost mirthful. “Who gave your sister to her husband who sold her to pay off his debts.” “I watched you murder her in cold blood!” Asher’s fists clenched around the gun he held pointed at the killer, memories of that night flooding back. Kaidën leaned closer, a sinister smile creeping onto his face. "I remember begging you to look away. But you didn’t. Did you enjoy it, Asher? Watching the woman who shattered your world writhe in agony? Or would you prefer to keep that little secret buried deep? Ah, but don’t answer that. Come, help me gather the pieces of your father's remains. It’s time to tidy up this little mess." Asher’s eyes widened in horror, realization crashing over him like a wave. All this time, he had been unaware that he was not only a witness to his father’s murder, but had watched it unfold until the very end, just like he had done that night when he watched his mother’s murder. Nodding, he picked up the severed hand of his father—the same hand that had beaten and broken him until his skin grew numb to pain. ‘Oh, sweet Emily, if only you could see our father now. How the mighty have fallen.’

"Lo tau gak, sih, tata krama masuk ruangan?” tanya Regar ketus. Nessa sangat tidak sopan. Masuk ruangan tanpa permisi. Regar menyesal tidak mengunci pintu. Alih – alih menjawab, Nessa malah menyalakan posnelnya dan membuka aplikasi kamera. Ia mengatur kameranya menjadi kamera depan lalu mengajak Regar berfoto bersama. "Apaan, sih!” seru Regar tidak suka dengan tindakan Nessa. "Satu, dua, tigaaa,” Nessa langsung menjepret kamera ponselnya lalu melihat hasilnya. Tampak ekspresi Regar yang sedang marah. Sangat kontras dengan Nessa yang tersenyum manis. "Hahaha lucu, deh. Upload, ah,” Nessa membuka akun Instagramnya kemudian memposting fotonya dan Regar di instastory. Tak lupa ia me-mention akun Instagram Regar. Regar adalah cowok terkenal di sekolah dan luar sekolah sehingga memiliki banyak pengikut. Nessa berharap jika Regar me-repost instastory-nya maka akan banyak pengikut Regar yang mengikuti akunnya juga, “jangan lupa repost, ya,” Regar yang melihat hal itu menjadi semakin kesal, “Nessa hapus!” pinta Regar to the point. "Gapapa lah, Gar, sekali – kali. Kita, kan, belom pernah foto berdua,” jawab Nessa santai sambil memandangi fotonya bersama Regar. Regar membuang napas kasar. Ia menatap kedua temannya yang hanya diam. "Kalo Regar gak mau, sini sama Miko aja, beb,” sahut Miko. "Gak mau. Maunya sama Regar,” Regar memalingkan wajahnya malas, “murahan,” jawab Regar spontan dengan nada meremehkan. Cowok itu sedang menahan amarahnya saat ini. Ia berusaha untuk tidak membentak Nessa walaupun ia tahu kata – katanya barusan sangat tajam.

Dos dez aos dezoito anos, meus pais me obrigaram a escrever duzentas e noventa e nove dívidas. Cada centavo que eu pedia a eles era considerado um empréstimo — algo que eu teria que pagar quando me tornasse adulta. Até que sofri um acidente de carro... Na hora de pagar a cirurgia, ainda me faltavam três mil no cartão. Sem saída, fui implorar ajuda aos meus pais. Mas eles apenas sorriram friamente: — Júlia Monforte, você já tem dezoito anos. Não temos mais obrigação nenhuma com você. Escreva uma nova dívida! Com lágrimas nos olhos, escrevi minha tricentésima dívida. Após a cirurgia, abri o Instagram e me deparei com uma publicação da minha irmã adotiva. Na foto, ela estava em um cruzeiro internacional, celebrando seu aniversário de dezoito anos como uma princesa, cercada de gente a bajulando. O presente dos meus pais para ela? Um apartamento de alto padrão no centro de São Paulo... e a chave de um Maserati. Até meu amigo de infância... olhava para ela com olhos cheios de amor. Ela agradecia: "Obrigada às pessoas que eu mais amo, por me darem o melhor que eu poderia ter." E eu, segurando aquela dívida toda amassada nas mãos, simplesmente sorri. Depois que eu quitar essa dívida... uma coisa é certa — não preciso mais de uma família assim.

I hadn't seen my mafia husband, Luca Moretti, and our daughter Dora in three whole months. Why? Because his mother, Fiona, said Dora should stay with her "for a while." And Luca? He was "too busy with business," as always. So when Luca finally called and said he was going to pick me up for a family reunion at the villa, I was overjoyed. I thought maybe, just maybe, I'd finally get to hold my little girl again. I spent the whole damn day running around the city, buying her favorite dolls, snacks, a new pink dress, anything I thought would make her smile at me again. But when the car arrived, it wasn't what I imagined. Before I could even say Hi, Dora turned her head, took one look at me… and then wrapped her arms even tighter around Maria, the maid. She buried her face in Maria's neck like I wasn't even there. Like Maria was her mom. I tried to approach her, but Dora straight-up told me she didn't want to ride in the same car as me. And Maria, wearing that fake, polite smile, kept trying to gently talk me into giving Dora "a little more time." I looked over at Luca, hoping he'd step in. Instead, he just looked annoyed, like he couldn't be bothered to lift a finger to help fix things between me and our daughter. Clearly, they didn't want me there. So what was the point of trying to join the ride? I stepped back from the SUV. Then Luca just turned to me and said, "Just wait here. I won't be long." What he'll never understand is… I'm done waiting for him.

Saat gempa bumi terjadi, suamiku yang merupakan kapten tim penyelamat justru meninggalkanku, lalu terlebih dulu menyelamatkan cinta pertamanya, Cloe Monroe. Aku tidak menghalanginya, membiarkannya pergi begitu saja. Karena di kehidupan sebelumnya, ketika menghadapi pilihan yang sama, suamiku memilih menyelamatkanku yang sedang hamil delapan bulan. Sedangkan Cloe, karena bantuan datang terlambat, malah terkubur di bawah reruntuhan akibat gempa susulan dan meninggal karena sesak napas. Kemudian, di hari aku akan melahirkan, suamiku membawaku ke makam Cloe. Dia memandangku dengan tatapan dingin saat aku terjatuh karena rasa sakit yang luar biasa, mengabaikan permohonan tanpa henti dariku. "Jessica, apa kamu kesakitan? Waktu itu, rasa sakit yang dialami Cloe di bawah reruntuhan seribu kali lebih parah dari ini!" Aku menatap suamiku yang seperti sudah kehilangan akal dengan ekspresi tidak percaya. Pria itu melanjutkan, "Padahal saat gempa, kamu jelas-jelas berada di zona aman! Kalau bukan karena kamu yang memaksa dengan alasan kehamilanmu, bagaimana mungkin momen terbaik untuk menyelamatkan Cloe bisa terlewatkan?" "Aku ingin kamu merasakan sendiri semua penderitaan yang pernah dialami Cloe!" Dia memaksaku berlutut, terus membenturkan kepala di depan foto mendiang cinta pertamanya, membiarkan darah mengalir deras dari tubuhku. Pada akhirnya, aku mengalami pendarahan hebat saat melahirkan, lalu meninggal di ruang persalinan. Saat membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari terjadinya gempa. Kali ini, aku dan anakku tidak akan lagi menggantungkan harapan padanya.
