Mahal ni Helena Pearl Larson si Moises Floyd Ford mula pa pagkabata. Kaya nang ipilit ng kanyang ama ang kanilang kasal, agad siyang pumayag—kahit alam niyang hindi siya gusto ni Moises. Dalawang taon niyang isinakripisyo ang sarili, ipinaglaban ang pagmamahal, at umasa na balang araw ay mamahalin din siya nito. Ngunit isang araw, winasak ni Moises ang lahat.

Hanggang sa muli siyang harapin ng taong minsan ay nagdurog ng kanyang puso. "Doctor Helena Pearl… I need your help." Malamig ang kanyang sagot. "Ano ang problema mo, Mister Floyd Ford?" At sa mga mata nitong puno ng sakit, bumulong siya: "My heart is broken… and only you can heal it." Ngayon, haharapin ni Helena Pearl ang pinakamahirap na operasyon ng kanyang buhay—ang desisyon kung muli ba niyang bubuksan ang puso niya para sa lalaking minsan nang tumanggi sa kanya?

I send my sister, Lola Graham, to my couture boutique to pick out a wedding dress. As she is leaving, a trainee clerk, Kayla Larson, demands three million for the gown. Helpless, Lola says my name. "I'm the owner's sister. I don't have to pay." Kayla rolls her eyes. "You're pranking the wrong store. Our boss doesn't have a sister. You're just broke and trying to scam us!" she snapped, blocking my sister's way. "This is your last warning—either pay up, or I'll rip that dress off you and throw you out!" Stunned, Lola calls me. When I rush over, I hear my long-time store manager standing deferentially behind Kayla, warning Lola, "You'd better behave. The woman in front of you is our boss' wife. Cross her, and you'll regret it." "Trying to fake your way in here? You've got some nerve," Kayla sneers, adding to my sister's humiliation. My hand freezes on the door. Without hesitation, I cut off my husband's secondary credit card and call him. "Have I been too generous with you? Or did giving you too much money make you think you could afford another woman behind my back?"

The boy, George Larson, whom I once saved as a child, when he was struggling with asthma, repaid my kindness by imprisoning me for seven long years. "Luna, you're my everything. I won’t let you out of my sight," he said, his voice filled with obsession. He tied my hands and feet, keeping me bound to the bed like a helpless doll, but I did not love him; I wanted to escape. In his madness, he set fire to my family’s ancestral home. The last traces of the Sachs burned to ashes, disappearing into the wind. He said that since my home was gone, I could just live with him and that it would be my new home. However, because I refused to let him touch me, he found someone else—a girl with a beauty mark under her eye, just like mine. The girl, drunk on his affection, thought I was trying to imitate her by faking the same tear-shaped mark. In a fit of jealousy, she gouged out my eyes. My face was covered with tiny, bleeding holes, blood streaming down my body. When George came home, the girl gleefully stuffed me into a trash bag, proud of her handiwork. “George, look! I caught some trash that broke into the house!” George did not even glance at me. He just loosened his tie, his voice calm and detached. “Just toss it where trash belongs.”

Mute, cow-boy muet aux cheveux rouges et sans aucune mémoire, erre dans un désert brûlant peuplé de créatures mutantes affamées. Une nuit, il entend une voix étrange l'incitant à se rendre au Lycée Vile, vaste et mystérieux établissement gardé par de monstrueux robots guépards. Au même moment, quatre adolescents : Antoine le curieux, Marianne la courageuse, Josie l'amoureuse et Jonathan l'immature, découvrent que leur proviseur torture et tue en secret des élèves... Que se cache-t-il dans les profondeurs du Lycée ? Quel est le véritable but de ses occupants ? Et, surtout, qui est cet inquiétant être au corps blanc qui, depuis sa baignoire, observe l'horizon ?

I see Grandfather, and he knows I see him. The people surround me, their faces red with anger. Grandfather raises his hands, eventually quieting them. "Toby... what have you done?" The colony world of Horus was a blissful utopia... until a curious little boy made one mistake and sent the world into a downward spiral of self-destruction. The world's gods were revealed to be nothing more than computers... and those computers are now failing. To pay for his mistake, Toby Spafford, now a man, must travel the deadly, ruined streets to find three missing keys that can activate a backup system created by his grandfather, Professor Jonathan Spafford. Dogging his every move are various factions that have grown to like the taste of power over the helpless citizens, and they'll do anything to stop him. In his favor, he is determined, intelligent, bitterly stubborn, and resourceful. Unfortunately... so are his enemies.

My husband, Jonathan Rivers, was a notorious playboy in Polesburg's elite circles. Beautiful women surrounded him constantly, yet he claimed to have fallen for me at first sight, saying it was a love that would last forever. He dismissed all the other women around him for my sake. Everyone said I was his destined soulmate. Seven years into our marriage, I had seven abortions for him, simply because he said he did not like children. Then on Father's Day, I saw him on his secretary's social media feed. The same man who claimed to be away on business was there with a child beside him, calling him "Daddy" loudly. It turned out that when he said he did not like children, he meant that he did not like children with me. I dialed his number through tears. "Do you want another wife?"

Keabadiannya yang tak lekang dimakan usia menjadi penyebabnya. Sosok setengah manusia yang mengarungi kehidupan terkutunya sendirian. Hingga pada usianya yang lebih dari seabad, semua berubah.

Terlebih, saat ia tahu bahwa bukan hanya ia iblis di dunia. Lantas, datang pula seorang pemburu iblis yang membeberkan dunia bawah tanah. Grace terkejut, karena takdir yang tak pernah dibayangkan membawanya untuk bertempur. Apalagi sosok yang membuat hatinya menghangat harus menjadi korban. Mampukah Grace menyelamatkan Jonathan yang hampir terperangkap dalam perang dingin sesama iblis penikmat gairah?

"Jadi kamu yang membuat Farel pergi meninggalkan aku? Kamu membuat data palsu seolah-olah Farel memiliki penyakit HIV agar dia membatalkan pernikahan? Terus besoknya kamu melamarku menggantikan posisi dia seolah menjadi pahlawan agar keluargaku tidak menanggung malu? Begitu?" Shira bertepuk tangan di hadapan Jonathan. "Maksud kamu data palsu apa? Dan jangan berbicara tinggi seperti itu padaku, aku ini suamimu!" "Yang seharusnya menjadi suamiku itu Farel, bukan kamu! Aku benar-benar menyesal telah menikah denganmu! Kamu bersikap seolah-olah aku ratu satu-satunya di hatimu padahal ada ratu lain yang kamu sembunyikan, termasuk keluargamu sendiri ikut merasahasiakannya, benar-benar gila!" Shira berkelakar sampai kalap. "Ratu apa? Aku tidak mengerti dengan perkataanmu, Shira!" "Come on ... tolong berhenti menjadi aktor hebat di depanku! Kamu tahu Grecia yang katamu adalah klien penting? Dan anak kecil yang terus bergelayut manja meminta perhatian darimu? Sekarang aku tahu itu adalah istri dan anakmu!" Jonathan meremas rambutnya sendiri. "Oke, Fine! Aku jujur sekarang, Grecia memang istri pertamaku. Aku terpaksa menikahinya karena perjodohan, tapi anak kecil itu bukan anakku, Shira. Tolong percaya." "Apa? Bukan anakmu? Sungguh malang nasib anak itu tidak diakui oleh ayah kandungnya. Padahal aku dengar sendiri anak itu memanggilmu dengan sebutan ayah. Apa sekarang kamu akan menuduhku tuli, Nathan?" "Bagaimana aku bisa mengakui anak kecil itu adalah anakku padahal aku tidak pernah menyentuh ibunya? Grecia memang mencintaiku, tapi aku tidak mencintainya. Satu-satunya wanita yang aku cintai hanya kamu, Shira. Tolong pahami itu!" "Kebohongan apa lagi yang kamu buat? Selama ini aku terlalu bodoh percaya dengan semua bualanmu padahal kamu sutradara licik di balik sekanerio kejam yang kamu buat!!" "Cukup, Shira. Aku tidak berbohong, aku sudah melakukan test DNA tanpa sepengetahuan Grecia. Hasilnya memang anak itu bukan darah dagingku!" Tak menggubris Jonathan yang terus berkelit, Shira memilih memasukkan semua bajunya ke dalam koper. "Tunggu surat gugatan cerai dariku, Nathan!"

Our place was hit by an earthquake. I was crushed by a slab of stone, but my wife, leader of the rescue squad, abandoned me in favor of her true love. She said, "You're a soldier. You can live with a little injury. Felix can't. He's always been weak, and he needs me." I was saved, eventually, and I wanted to leave my wife. I agreed to the chip research that would station me in one of the National Science Foundation's bases deep in the mountains. My leader was elated about my agreeing to this research. He grasped my hand tightly. "Marvelous. With you in our team, Jonathan, this research won't fail! But… you'll be gone for six whole years. Are you sure your partner's fine with it?" I nodded. "She will be. I'm serving the nation here. She'll understand." The leader patted my shoulder. "Good to know. The clock is ticking, so you'll only have one month to say your goodbyes. That enough for you?" I smiled. "More than enough."
