Id Card / Tali

"Kylie, this year's annual bonus is evaluated based on two factors: performance and peer reviews. "Since your team never participates in company social events, your coworkers all gave you poor ratings. That's why this is your year-end bonus." Around me, the male employees were receiving bonuses in the tens of thousands. And yet, the women I led—developers who had worked for over ten years and built every core system the company relied on—each received nothing more than a coffee gift card and a mug engraved with the company logo. I laughed out loud. Then I turned and walked into my office and submitted resignation requests for the entire technical team. The manager, Preston Alec, sneered. "Good riddance. AI can replace women like you who only know how to have children." A few days later, the very people who had mocked me were standing in front of me, begging me to come back. I smiled in return. "AI conquers everything, doesn't it?"

Kyra never believed in miracles. At twenty, she’d already stopped hoping, beaten by the hands of the man who called himself her father, ignored by the world that never cared to notice her bruises. The only thing she ever wanted was escape. When her friend drags her to a secret BDSM bar, Kyra expects nothing more than another disappointment. But in a room filled with power and control, her broken gaze meets his—the Master, the man everyone fears and obeys. A single look, and something inside her cracks. He gives her his card but she throws it away. Until the night her father’s fists nearly kill her and she finds herself crawling back to the only man who ever looked at her like she was worth saving. But when she stands before him again, begging to be his sub, Kyra doesn’t realize the truth. The man she’s surrendering to is not just the Master of the bar. He’s her new professor. And he’s been waiting for her to come back.

Tinatawag ako ng kapatid kong lalaki bilang kanyang prinsesa at nagpapadala sa’kin ng perang pangbaon; nagkakamali ng intindi ang kanyang mapapangasawa at iniisip nito na lihim niya akong nobya. Susugurin ng babae ang tirahan ko, na maayos kong pinalamutian, kasama ang grupo ng mga kamag-anak at kaibigan. “Hindi ako makapaniwalang lihim na nobya ka ng iba’t ngayong napakabata mo pa! Tuturuan kita ng leksyon sa ngalan ng mga magulang mo! Ikakalat ko online ang imoral ninyong relasyon para malaman ng mga guro at kaklase mo kung gaano ka kawalang-hiya!” Kinalat nila ang tirahan ko at pinunit ang mga damit ko. Pagkatapos, sinigurado nilang nakunan ang ID ko sa eksena habang nire-record nila ang pang-aapi sa akin. Nagmamadaling pumunta ang kapatid kong lalaki, namumula sa galit ang kanyang mga mata. “Nasiraan na ba kayo ng bait? Ang lakas ng loob ninyong apihin ang kapatid ko!”

They were my brother’s best friends—the HawkThorne brothers. Wealthy, ruthless, and filthy enough to make the whole city drop to its knees. I was the good girl once. The perfect wife. Until my husband had sex with half my office and shoved me into an open marriage I never asked for. One night at a bar was supposed to be my rebellion—a dirty little secret to make me forget. I never expected to run into them. Six years had made them look harder, darker, and so much hotter. I shouldn’t have let them touch me. Shouldn’t have let them ruin me against a bathroom sink with their filthy mouths and rough hands. Three men. One night. No promises. But the eldest HawkThorne pressed a card into my palm before I could slip away. I thought I could handle them. Thought I could survive their obsession. Now I’m learning there’s no such thing as just sex with the HawkThorne brothers. They don’t share. They claim. They corrupt. And they’re coming for every last filthy piece of me.

Ini tahun kesembilan aku dan Dandi menjalani apa yang kami sebut sebagai "Bulan Tanpa Status". Pewaris Keluarga Chandra itu percaya cara ini bisa membuat hubungan kami bertahan lebih lama. Selama satu bulan setelah hari jadi kami setiap tahun, dia bebas, dan kami tidak saling ikut campur dalam hidup masing-masing. Kalau salah satu dari kami menemukan seseorang yang lebih cocok, kami harus saling mendoakan yang terbaik. Kalau tidak, setelah sebulan, semuanya kembali seperti semula. Di sekelilingku, para pria dari keluarga itu menyemburkan sampanye dengan riuh. "Untuk satu tahun kebebasan lagi! Selamat untuk bos kita yang kembali jadi bujangan!" "Taruhan keluarga dibuka! Pilih kiri kalau kalian pikir mereka tetap akan bersama, pilih kanan kalau kalian yakin ini sudah berakhir!" Di balik kabut asap cerutu yang tipis, aku duduk di sudut sofa kulit, tidak terlibat, seolah-olah semua ini tidak ada hubungannya denganku. Tangan Dandi melingkar di pinggang Scarlett saat dia melewatiku, lalu berbisik pelan, "Jangan macam-macam. Kamu akan selalu jadi satu-satunya calon istriku." "Aku ini seperti layang-layang. Sejauh apa pun aku terbang, talinya tetap ada di tanganmu." Aku menekan telapak tangan yang dingin ke perutku yang mulai membulat, wajahku tanpa ekspresi. Dandi, untuk taruhan keluarga kali ini, aku memilih "berakhir". Aku akan menghilang sepenuhnya dari hidupmu. Tali layang-layang yang selama ini kamu genggam itu? Malam ini, akan aku putuskan sendiri.
