Gen Z Bible Reading

Ich bin die beste Kunstfälscherin und Informationsspezialistin in ganz Chicago. Und ich verliebte mich in den Mann, dem die ganze Stadt gehörte – Don Vincenzo Russo. Zehn Jahre lang war ich sein Geheimnis, seine Waffe und seine Geliebte. Ich baute sein Imperium aus dem Schatten heraus auf. Ich dachte, ich würde einen Ring bekommen. Schließlich war er jede Nacht, die er in der Stadt verbrachte, in mir versunken und nahm sich seinen Vergnügen. Er flüsterte, ich gehöre ihm, dass es sich mit niemand anderem so gut anfühlen würde. Doch dieses Mal, nachdem er mit mir fertig war, verkündete er, dass er die russische Bratva-Prinzessin Katerina Petrov heiraten werde. Da wusste ich es. Ich war nicht seine Geliebte. Ich war nur ein Körper. Für ein Bündnis, für sie, opferte er mich. Er ließ mich sterben. Also zerstörte ich jedes Stück des Lebens, das er mir gegeben hatte. Ich machte einen einzigen Anruf bei meinem Vater in Italien. Und dann verschwand ich. Doch als der Don, der Chicago beherrschte, sein Lieblingsspielzeug nicht mehr finden konnte … wurde er wahnsinnig.

Dari bayangan kehinaan hingga puncak balas dendam, kisah Tian Zhi menantang nasib dengan tenaga bela diri yang ganas dan ilmu medis yang mematikan. Seorang murid rendah kasta yang dipermalukan, ia diretas oleh konspirasi hingga kehilangan semua, kemudian ditinggalkan sebagai sampah di antara klannya. Dikhianati oleh sahabat, hampir kehilangan nyawanya. Tian Zhi menemukan cahaya dalam bayang-bayang saat bertemu mahaguru terkenal. Setelah bertahun-tahun latihan, sang Master wafat, meninggalkan wasiat yang mengubah hidupnya: tujuh nama wanita yang disebut sebagai tunangan. Kini Tian Zhi bangkit dengan kekuatan yang membara, bertekad membalas setiap luka—mereka yang menertawakannya, mereka yang menginjaknya saat rapuh, mereka yang membuangnya tanpa belas kasihan. Ia tidak lagi sekadar bayangan murid rendah, melainkan seorang pematon balas dendam yang siap menuntaskan wasiat sang gurunya. Setiap langkahnya adalah ujian: kekuatan, kasih sayang, pengkhianatan, dan rahasia yang akan membentuk takdirnya. Apakah tujuh nama tunangan itu menyimpan kunci jalan keluar atau tirai rahasia yang akan mengguncangkan semuanya? Sebuah odise balas dendam, pengkhianatan, dan cinta yang menantang batas antara kegelapan dan cahaya.

Saat ulang tahunku, Mon Devan, memberiku kalung mutiara almarhum istrinya yang meninggal. Aku memakainya untuk makan malam. Putra tiriku, Liam, sangat marah dan menyiramku dengan anggur merah. Aku pun menjadi lelucon dalam pesta itu. "Dasar pelacur." Dia mendesis. "Kamu pikir karena memakai perhiasan ibuku, kamu bisa jadi dirinya?" Dia menatapku dengan tatapan sedingin es. Lalu berteriak, "Keluar dari rumahku!" Ibunya meninggal saat dia masih bayi, aku yang membesarkannya. Seseorang pasti sudah memengaruhinya. Mereka memberitahunya kalau akulah yang membunuh ibunya. Sekarang, dia berpikir akulah pelacur berakal busuk yang menjebak ayahnya. Dan bagaimana dengan ayahnya? Suamiku? Dia tidak pernah melihatku. Dia hanya melihat hantu Karina. Hatiku tidak hanya retak, tapi hancur. Mereka tidak mencintaiku, tidak juga peduli padaku, jadi aku pergi. Lalu kenapa... Setelah aku sepenuhnya pergi, mereka merangkak memohon padaku untuk kembali?

During the holiday season, a flood hits. The company's warehouse is submerged up to the third floor. Due to the emergency, I have my assistant tell everyone to come back a day early to help. I promise that the company will provide stipends and extra time off to make up for this. But on that day, a Gen Z employee goes live across the internet to report me. "Oh, my God. It's 2025, yet there are still companies forcing employees to adjust their time off and work overtime! Is this heartless boss so broke that she needs to exploit us like this? Will she die if she doesn't squeeze us out of every drop of usefulness? Company notices override the law. Impressive stuff, this is!" Soon, the company ends up on the trending list due to criticism from the online community. Even the regulators come knocking to hold us accountable. In the end, the company is forced to cancel the notice. A lot of equipment isn't salvaged in time, resulting in significant losses. The employee even posts a victory lap. "Give the boss a tiny lesson—see if she dares to force overtime again!" I'm so angry that I laugh out loud. I tell my assistant to cancel the annual benefit we give all employees—an entire month of paid time off for Christmas and the New Year holidays. If we have to stick strictly to the law, then fine. Have it your way!

I was a princess of the sea. And the moment I saw the werewolf Alpha, Dominic, I fell. Hard. I wanted to be his mate. To be part of his world. So I sacrificed everything I was to the Moon Goddess. But he locked me in the pack's isolation room for three days. To "think about what I'd done." All because I didn't rush to help his childhood friend, Harper. She took a dive at the pack banquet, and the room erupted in laughter. Harper cried and collapsed into Dominic’s arms. "Marina must be jealous of how good you are to me. She used her outsider magic to make me fall in front of everyone!" As he locked me away, Dominic's eyes were full of disappointment. "I've spoiled you, Marina. And now you're using my love as a weapon against my own people. Three days. When you're ready to submit, you will contact me through the mind link and apologize. Only then will I let you out." But he didn't know the truth. Burning sage soothes a werewolf's spirit. But for a mermaid, it’s poison. The smoke scorched my lungs. The poison flooded my veins. I suffocated in that sealed room. And no one ever knew.

***This book contains violence, cursing, sexual content, and talk of suicide, enjoy at your discretion.*** I was walking through an unknown foggy forest when I spotted a field of wildflowers. My feet had a mind of their own as they led me to wander through the flowers. I nonchalantly dragged my hands over the flowers. It was a beautiful and serene sight. I deeply inhaled the sweet scent of the flower and gave a little shudder of bliss. I closed my eyes and just absorbed the moment wanting to remember it. Suddenly the sounds of paws hitting the forest floor overwhelmed me. Then the forest was ignited with flames. Everything glowed vibrant oranges and reds as heavy smoke smothered me from above. I threw myself to the ground desperate for any trace of clean air. As I attempted to crawl out of the flowers a new sound harmonized with the thunder paws, screams and howls for help terrorized me. I clawed at the ground desperate to escape the menacing choir. Fire licked my skin and I screamed for help. Sobs escaped my lips as flaming branches fell on me from above. The smell of burning flesh was the only thing that consumed me as everything went dark.
