⚠️ Contains emotionally intense and mature themes. (R 18+) "Look at me, Hazel." Diego approached, his breath burning Hazel's ear. "I only ask for one thing... beg me." Hazel shook her head, her knees trembling. "No... you can't—" Diego smiled faintly, darkly, full of triumph. "If you beg... I will never let you go." Hazel Anne Quinn, 24 years old — a small-time journalist who no one takes seriously. Living a mediocre life, abandoned since birth, and writing erotica as a ghostwriter at night to survive. No one ever wanted Hazel... until Diego Ronan Blake appeared. A senior actor and tycoon at 34, a man who makes the world bow down and causes women to fight to be his. But Diego becomes obsessed with the one woman who avoids him — Hazel's grayish-green eyes, filled with fear yet a hint of defiance, make Diego lose control. For Diego, Hazel isn't a fantasy — she is a necessity. He wants Hazel as his, body and soul, and this obsession drives him to tear down the walls that have protected Hazel, only to rebuild them with himself at the center. Hazel can be afraid, can hate, can resist... but as long as she doesn't beg, Diego will never stop. Because once Hazel gives in — even just once — Diego will never let her go.

Pada ulang tahun pernikahan kami yang ke-7, aku menindih tubuh Lionel, suamiku yang adalah seorang mafia, dan menciumnya dengan penuh hasrat. Di tengah keintiman yang membara, aku merogoh saku gaun sutra mahalku dan mengenggam test pack yang aku sembunyikan di sana. Aku berencana untuk memberitahunya kabar kehamilanku tengah malam nanti. Maryos, tangan kanan Lionel, menatapnya sambil tersenyum menggoda dan bertanya kepadanya dalam bahasa Iltan, "Bos, bidadari kecil barumu itu ... si Sofia .... Gimana rasanya?" Seketika itu juga, Lionel tertawa dengan begitu kencang, membuat bulu kudukku meremang. Lionel pun menjawab, tentunya dalam bahasa Iltan, "Rasanya seperti ... seperti buah persik yang belum matang. Segar dan lembut." Tangannya masih mengelus pinggangku dengan lembut, tetapi tatapannya tidak tertuju padaku. "Ingat, ini rahasia kita. Kalau istriku sampai tahu, habislah aku." Para anak buahnya tertawa. Mereka bersulang, berjanji untuk tidak membocorkan apa-apa. Kesabaranku perlahan menipis, digantikan dengan darahku yang mulai mendidih. Mereka semua tidak tahu bahwa nenekku berasal dari Pulau Sagara. Aku memahami semua isi pembicaraan mereka. Aku berusaha menahan emosi, mempertahankan senyum sempurna seorang istri pemimpin keluarga mafia. Meski begitu, aku tetap tak bisa membuat tanganku yang memegang gelas sampanye berhenti gemetar. Emosiku bisa meledak kapan saja dan aku tidak mau membuat kegaduhan. Jadi, untuk mengalihkan pikiranku, aku menyalakan ponsel, membuka undangan proyek riset medis internasional pribadi beberapa hari lalu, lalu menekan tombol "Terima". Dalam tiga hari, aku akan menghilang dari dunia Lionel, selamanya.

It was the day of our marriage. We were supposed to meet up at the City Hall, but my fiancee stood me up. I waited for her the whole day, and the only answer I got was a picture from her assistant.

I demanded answers from my girlfriend, but that only made her impatient. "He donated his blood to me. Yeah, I was with him, but so what? Man up, will you?" That killed any love I had for her, and I called my soon-to-be ex-girlfriend's sister. "Hey, Sylvie. Yeah, about your proposal. So will you marry me?"
