It's A Quarter After One I'm All Alone

"Gue nyesel jatuh cinta sama lo," ucap Raissa dengan air mata yang menggenang di pelupuk matanya. "Lo, orang yang udah ngebunuh kakak gue." Laki laki yang berdiri tepat di hadapan Raissa terpaku, tenggorokannya tercekat, seolah ada sesuatu disana dan itu sangat menyakitkan. "Maaf," lirihnya.

All I wanted was a one-night stand with some random guy, just to get back at my boyfriend, who had insulted me for never being able to feel anything for him. I had left Brooklyn with my best friend, Ashley, to spend spring break in Cabo. The deal was to have fun like a normal young adult and have a one-night stand with any guy, just to prove a point. I ended up in the bed of a man with the most mesmerizing eyes I’d ever seen—a man I knew nothing about. He pleased me in ways I didn’t think were possible. Every touch, every kiss, every whisper of his hands against my skin ignited a hunger I hadn’t realized I had. But when I woke up the next day, the stranger was gone. I thought it was just a one-night fling and that I'd never see him again—only to find out he was my new statistics professor. "Do… do you remember me?" I asked nervously in his office. He glanced at me with those beautiful, icy eyes and replied, "No, I don’t… Am I supposed to know you?"

"since you can't pay me back what you stole from me, I own your life, all of you," London Malik whispered with a deep smirk at the corner of his lips as he pinned Kimberly to the wall. It was then that her innocent life took a different turn.

My mother was once adored and protected by three men. As such, I had three fathers. After her death, I was raised by one of the greatest doctors, the richest man in Theala, and an award-winning actor. For 13 years, I was showered with overwhelming adoration. That was until three years ago—the day they adopted Erin, an orphan girl. From then on, they began to dote on her. When she accused me of stealing her necklace, they tore my room apart in their search, smashing my most cherished music box in the process. They only felt remorse when they saw me sobbing over the shards. As compensation, they bought me every music box they could find. When she claimed I mocked her for being an orphan, they forced me to write a hundred apology letters as punishment. They only massaged my hands in remorse upon seeing them trembling so badly that I could no longer feed myself. When Erin accused me of shredding her gown, they locked me in the dark basement, starving me for three whole days. When I was let out, they were filled with remorse upon realizing how much weight I had lost. Their bloodshot eyes watched over the grand feast they prepared as an apology. All of that lasted until Erin poisoned my cup of water. I kept coughing up blood as my body grew weaker by the day. Daniel only diagnosed me with malnutrition and made me take prescribed supplements. Unbeknownst to him, those supplements only hastened the poison's effects. After I collapsed at school, I went to the hospital for treatment. "You only have three days left to live," the doctor said. Why then… Why did my fathers drown themselves in sorrow and kill Erin after my death?

I should have never turned her away. So many years have passed, and she’s back in my life. But our parents dating for a while left me refusing her. And she left for the romantic city of Paris. My pretty girl becoming a ballerina. Forever gone. But life has a way of taking things full circle. Due to an injury, she’s back in our small town. My second chance to make things right stares me in the face. She’s all grown up, and still stealing my every thought. But I can’t compete with her dreams. Letting her go is what’s required of me, and I do it, but not without cost. Never in a million years did I expect her to take a gift with her. A secret. My baby.

Will she be able to deal with the pressures of dating her boss?

"Do you trust me, Hailey?” he asks as he looks deep into my eyes. Our eyes locked and the whole world fades away, it looks deep in my soul as if the answer to his question is there. Thinking about it my mind tries to come up with something not to trust him but nothing. “a little... maybe” is all I could say, while I take another sip of the wine still locked onto his gaze. “If I asked that you must submit to me with your whole body, will you?” his voice was husky. Again, I do not know what to answer. Can I give in just for one night? Would I give in for once, to feel for once how it would feel to be desired? To know how it would feel to be the only one he wants even if it was not real. Even if it was just for one evening. Not trusting my voice, I slowly nod. My Angel, will you break the spell? Are you my only true love? Lying next to her, I take her in my arms as she places her head on my chest. Soon I drifted off to sleep. What happens when myth and reality come together to find love?
