Golden Scenery Of Tomorrow 18

Larut malam, teknisi AC datang ke rumah. Tapi, jari-jarinya yang begitu lincah justru memberiku sensasi yang belum pernah kurasakan sebelumnya…. “Telepon suamimu, biar dia lihat sendiri betapa hausnya kamu!” ujar pria di belakangku sambil menarik rambutku ke belakang. “Jangan… kalau sampai dia tahu, dia pasti nggak bakal memaafkanku….” Baru saja aku selesai bicara, nada sambung yang sejak tadi terus berdering tiba-tiba berhenti, teleponnya tersambung

She believed she left him behind forever. Five years ago, she walked away from the one man who had ever lit her soul on fire - Lucian Blackthorne, the ruthless millionaire Alpha who claimed her as his fated mate after a single night of forbidden bliss. She rushed to safeguard the secret blossoming inside her, resolved never to let him find the truth. But fate didn’t care about her intentions. When he strolled back into her life at an elite supernatural charity dinner, his seductive silver eyes focused on hers, arousing every suppressed longing she had battled to conceal. He was much stronger now and even more deadly. His control ripped her hard-earned barriers, leaving her shaking with desire and horror. Because if Lucian found her secret, he would never let her or their son go. As he lured her back into his heady world of money, power, and primitive supernatural passion, secrets long buried began to claw their way to the surface. She understood her secret wasn’t the only one that might kill them both. He desired her loyalty. She desired his touch. But when treachery ruined the fragile hope rekindling between them, she was forced to face the final question: may she submit to his love, knowing it may cost her freedom… and her child’s future? Because the stain of midnight longing could never be erased - no matter how deeply she attempted to bury it.

Di bawah meja pengacara yang sedang menyusun surat cerai, jariku yang lembut meraba jauh ke dalam relung jiwaku. Aku memejamkan mata, seolah bunga yang lama kekeringan kini disirami embun manis, terbang melayang dalam nikmat yang memabukkan. Tiba-tiba, kursi empuk di bawah pinggulku berubah menjadi tubuh pria yang tegas dan kuat. Tangan pria itu mulai menyentuh kulit putihku dengan penuh kelembutan...

Melamar sebagai pengasuh bayi, aku tak menyangka majikanku, Pak Jeff malah ingin menilai sendiri kelayakanku. “Tak disangka ternyata kamu begitu berisi, sepertinya anakku tak akan kelaparan lagi. Selanjutnya, aku harus periksa kualitasnya.” Demi pekerjaan yang sulit kudapatkan ini, aku menahan rasa malu dan menunjukkan profesionalitasku, tapi tiba-tiba Pak Jeff malah mendekat…. “Ah, jangan digigit….” bisikku pelan, suaraku gemetar tak karuan. “Aku punya gangguan emosi, hanya susu segar yang bisa menenangkanku.” Sejak hari itu, aku harus menyediakan susu segar untuk Pak Jeff dan anaknya setiap hari. Tapi, semua ini malah diketahui oleh ayah Pak Jeff. Suatu malam, tiba-tiba dia memanggilku ke ruang kerja….

You think of my love as a burden and can't see my pain and suffering. Love ensnares them in a world filled with disappointment. What will the female protagonists in the stories do once they've had enough of being let down?

"We will never come back here next summer. We won't." Kuya Dusk's voice sounded with finality. I heard my brothers sighed heavily. They both kissed me in my forehead, and the next thing I knew, my vision were blocked by darkness. I am to reckless for giving trust. I am a foolish when I gave love. It's all absurd, but I did all that. For him, for the man I thought of never gonna hurt me. I want to forget you. I hope I could wake up tomorrow with no worries, tomorrow that I will no longer remember you, Trevor. I wish I could forget how I gave my whole stupid heart to you.

Demi membantu keuangan keluarga, aku bekerja sebagai pengasuh di rumah Tuan Linclon. Tapi bukan hanya harus mengurus dia dan anaknya, bahkan harus mengurus ayahnya juga." “Tuan Linclon, apa aku sudah boleh pulang?” Mereka berdua menatapku dengan mata tajam. Mereka langsung menarik tanganku dari dua sisi, lalu mendekatkan wajah mereka. “Tidak boleh pergi, kami belum kenyang!”

David Lee was supposed to be dead. Nineteen years old, terminal cancer, nothing left but hospital beds and webtoons about gang fights, brotherhood, and underdog heroes. But when he opens his eyes again, he’s not David anymore. He’s Seo Joonwoo — fifteen, awkward, quiet, and newly enrolled in the most infamous school in the city: Taeyang Technical High, where fists rule the halls and teachers look the other way. It should’ve been a nightmare. Instead… it’s everything David used to dream of. And when his first fight begins, a strange blue screen appears before his eyes: [Romanticism System Activated.] “The stronger your conviction… the stronger your punch.” Now, armed with a second chance, Joonwoo isn’t just here to survive. He’s here to live the kind of story he once only read about — a story of loyalty, friendship, fights under flickering lights… and maybe even love. This isn’t just delinquency. This is romanticism.

When Liana Brooks, a quiet scholarship student, steps into the elite halls of Crestwood University, she only has one goal — to graduate without drawing attention. But fate has other plans when she collides — quite literally — with Axel Knight, the campus bad boy with a reputation darker than his leather jacket. He’s arrogant, untouchable, and dangerously charming. She’s focused, stubborn, and immune to his games. Until one reckless rumor forces them into a fake relationship — a deal meant to save her scholarship and clean up his image. But what begins as a pretended connection soon unravels something real. Beneath Axel’s tattoos hides a broken past he’s desperate to forget, and beneath Liana’s calm lies a fire she never knew she had. As secrets surface and emotions ignite, both will learn that love isn’t about taming someone else — it’s about finding the courage to face the rebel within. He was her chaos. She was his calm. Together, they became something dangerously beautiful.

I'm a nationally certified animal trainer running the Lion King, Caesar's final assessment. I've barely stepped into the enclosure corridor when the steel guillotine door slams down behind me. My wife's laughter crackles over the loudspeaker. "Everyone, we're doing the ultimate challenge today! We're locking the so-called number-one animal trainer in the Lion King's enclosure and taking bets on whether he wets himself in ten minutes!" Caesar crouches low and rumbles a warning. I reach for my tranquilizer gun but stop cold. The liquid isn't the right color. In a phony sing-song voice, the veterinarian, Hugh Archer, says, "Lucian, I forgot to mention, I swapped your tranquilizer darts for pepper spray so you won't hurt Caesar by mistake. "You two are so close. Just win him over with love!" I look at Caesar, his eyes bloodshot from the stimulant, and it clicks. Hugh still resents that I stopped him from touching a tiger with his bare hands a few days ago. I tune out the trash blaring over the loudspeaker, pull a remote from my pocket, and hit the button. It's the master switch for the electric fence gates around every predator enclosure in the zoo. If I don't make it out, no one does.
