Jessica Cruz Rwby

Saat gempa bumi terjadi, suamiku yang merupakan kapten tim penyelamat justru meninggalkanku, lalu terlebih dulu menyelamatkan cinta pertamanya, Cloe Monroe. Aku tidak menghalanginya, membiarkannya pergi begitu saja. Karena di kehidupan sebelumnya, ketika menghadapi pilihan yang sama, suamiku memilih menyelamatkanku yang sedang hamil delapan bulan. Sedangkan Cloe, karena bantuan datang terlambat, malah terkubur di bawah reruntuhan akibat gempa susulan dan meninggal karena sesak napas. Kemudian, di hari aku akan melahirkan, suamiku membawaku ke makam Cloe. Dia memandangku dengan tatapan dingin saat aku terjatuh karena rasa sakit yang luar biasa, mengabaikan permohonan tanpa henti dariku. "Jessica, apa kamu kesakitan? Waktu itu, rasa sakit yang dialami Cloe di bawah reruntuhan seribu kali lebih parah dari ini!" Aku menatap suamiku yang seperti sudah kehilangan akal dengan ekspresi tidak percaya. Pria itu melanjutkan, "Padahal saat gempa, kamu jelas-jelas berada di zona aman! Kalau bukan karena kamu yang memaksa dengan alasan kehamilanmu, bagaimana mungkin momen terbaik untuk menyelamatkan Cloe bisa terlewatkan?" "Aku ingin kamu merasakan sendiri semua penderitaan yang pernah dialami Cloe!" Dia memaksaku berlutut, terus membenturkan kepala di depan foto mendiang cinta pertamanya, membiarkan darah mengalir deras dari tubuhku. Pada akhirnya, aku mengalami pendarahan hebat saat melahirkan, lalu meninggal di ruang persalinan. Saat membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari terjadinya gempa. Kali ini, aku dan anakku tidak akan lagi menggantungkan harapan padanya.

Angela has to find the blackmailer and deal with him by whatever means. Run Angela screamed Jessica as Angela sprinted through the woods with wind bustling through the branches of the trees, making the leaves howl in their symphony. Two natural forces are both in harmony and constantly fighting. The rain would come down any second; its distinct smell filled the air. Plush, intertwining clouds pushed their grey front toward where I stood. Angela stopped by the edge of the river; she placed a hand on her chest, her heart wouldn't stop raging against her rib cage, and she fought to keep silent a small whimper. Her heart was so loud she feared it would give her away; it was so loud in her ears; she thought the creature that used to be someone she once trusted would hear it and tear it from her. "Who is there? She screamed, looking back, hearing footsteps getting closer. Until she stopped and looked back, there stood a man with a mask, holding a knife; who was this person? Being diagnosed with anterograde amnesia made her unable to create new memories; her past kept haunting her. is it the same person who is always killing her in her dreams?

Cassandra Bellamy, brillante et richissime héritière au cœur blessé, a tourné le dos à l’amour depuis qu’une trahison a laissé en elle des cicatrices profondes. Forte, indépendante, mais secrètement vulnérable, elle consacre sa vie à réussir... jusqu’au jour où le destin la confronte à Nolan Cruz, un inconnu aussi séduisant qu’énigmatique, son regard intense.

Et si l’amour naissait justement là où ça faisait mal ? Dans ce voyage entre douleur et désir, les cœurs marqués oseront-ils s’aimer à nouveau… ?

Warning!... konten mengadung 21++"Kenapa kamu mau menerima pernikahan ini? Apa kamu tidak akan menyesal sama sekali menikah dengan pria cacat sepertiku? Bahkan Jessica saja yang sudah menjadi kekasihku selama 3 tahun lebih memilih meninggalkanku karena aku, karena sekarang aku hanyalah seorang pria cacat dan tidak berguna dan pastinya kan menyusahkan untuk kedepannya," ujar Jonathan penjang lebar sambil melihat ke arah mata hitam cerah milik Kalisa. Kalisa tampak berpikir dengan keras, dirinya mana mungkin akan mengatakan yang sejujurnya jika dia terpaksa menerima pernikahan ini karena menerima sebuah hukuman yang diberikan orang tuanya padanya. Tiba-tiba saja otak kecil Kalisa mendapatkan ide gila dan dia yakin Jinathan akan mempercayainya. "Memangnya ada yang salah jika aku tidak menyesal menikah denganmu, Mas? Lagipula yang cacatkan kaki kamu," jawab Kalisa santai dan malah membuat Jonathan heran yang mengerutkan alisnya tak mengerti dengan jalan pikiran Kalisa. "Gak perlu ngerutin alis kaya gitu kali, mas. Tapi benerkan yang cacat itu kaki kamu aja kan?" Tanya Kalisa dan di angguki oleh Jonathan."Kalau cuman masalah itu mah gampak, kita bisa nyari dokter terbaik di dunia untuk menyembuhkannya. Dan poin terpenting yang aku lihat dari Mas adalah---," ucap Kalisa menggantung sambil memperhatikan Jonathan dengan cermat."Apa poin penting yang kamu lihat dariku?" Ucap Jonathan. "Poin pentingngnya adik kecil milik Mas yang dibawahnitu gak ikutan cacatkan?" Ucap Kalisa lancar tanpa ada rasa malu sedikitpun. Jonathan melebarkan matanya mendengar pertanyaan yang keluar dari bibir tipis Kalisa yang menurutnya sedikt vulgar.

Lumaki si Celestine Navarro sa bahay na kailanman ay hindi naging tahanan. Sa ilalim ng pang-aapi ng kanyang madrasta na si Margarita at ng maldita niyang stepsister na si Veronica, natutunan niyang maging matatag, tahimik, pero palaban. Isang araw, bigla siyang pinapirma sa isang arranged marriage contract—isang kasal na hindi niya maintindihan. Wala siyang ideya kung sino ang lalaki sa papel, at tanging sinabi lang ng abogado ay: “Mas gusto niyang manatiling pribado. Pero simula ngayon, nasa ilalim ka ng kanyang proteksyon.” Ang lalaking iyon ay si Adrian Cruz—isang malamig, makapangyarihang Bilyonaryo at CEO sa isang malaking kumpanya na sanay makuha ang gusto niya. Sa harap ng mundo, isa siyang taong walang emosyon at walang kahinaan. Ngunit sa likod ng kanyang katahimikan, may lihim siyang dahilan: minsan niyang nasaksihan kung paanong hinamak si Celestine ng sarili nitong pamilya. At mula noon, hindi na siya mapalagay. Tahimik niyang inayos ang kasunduan ng kasal—isang paraan para masiguro na walang sinumang makakasakit kay Celestine muli. Habang patuloy siyang binabastos at minamaliit ng mga Navarro, patago namang nakamasid sa kanya ang lalaking handang ipaglaban siya… kahit hindi pa niya kilala. Hanggang isang gabi, nakatanggap siya ng mensahe mula sa hindi kilalang numero: “Hindi mo na kailangang harapin sila mag-isa.” —A.C. Hindi niya alam, ang lalaking iyon ay ang mismong asawa niyang hindi pa niya nakikita—ang lalaking tahimik pero mapanganib magmahal. At kapag dumating ang araw na mabunyag ang katotohanan, malalaman ng lahat… na ang babaeng minamaliit nila ay asawa ng pinakamakapangyarihang lalaki sa lungsod.

Mira Dela Cruz, isang determined pero struggling IT graduate mula sa probinsya, ay halos mawalan na ng pag-asa matapos ang sunod-sunod na job rejection—hanggang sa isang araw sa park, isang lalaking presentable at gwapo ang nagkamali ng akala sa kanya. Akala’y isa siyang bayarang babae. “Hi miss, if you’re available tonight... I’ll pay—just once.” Ito ang unang katagang binitawan ni Ethan Alexander Reyes—ang CEO ng isa sa kilalang successful IT company sa bansa. Isang lalaking seryoso, focused sa trabaho, at ni minsan ay hindi pa nagmahal. Hindi niya inakalang ang babaeng inalok niya ng isang gabi sa hotel ang magiging simula ng kanyang unang pag-ibig. Isang malakas na pagtangi ang tinanggap ni Ethan mula kay Mira nang hindi siya maniwala na isa siyang matinong babae. “Layuan mo ako! Kadiri ka. Baboy mo!” Ang hindi alam ni Mira ang lalaking iyon din pala ang magiging bago niyang boss, at siyang magbibigay sa kanya ng panibagong pag-asa. “I’ll match whatever the other companies offer, even higher—just say yes. I need someone like you here, Miss Mira Dela Cruz.” Ayaw man ni Mira na makatrabaho si Ethan, wala na siyang nagawa. Malaki ang oportunidad na dumating, at hindi niya ito kayang palampasin. Naniniwala si Ethan na ito’y tadhana—lalo’t pareho sila ng mundo. Simula pa lang, may naramdaman na siya. Love at first sight? Maybe. "Do you believe in destiny? Because I do. I just hope this time, I get it right."
