Justin Jefferson Smile

Selina Anderson, a perfect teenager whose life meant nothing but sadness and dull grayness of the world. Oblivious of the secrets her parents hid behind. A power she possessed that neither she, herself, does not know. A power that could either destroy or create worlds. A day without ruthlessness of reality, a day without confronting the cold – Selina decides to pick a book on a winter day. Only to discover that it wasn’t any normal book she’s holding onto her hands. It was a portal – a path to a world of magic. Upon her arrival to this world, slowly, she uncovers the secrets her parents hid all these years. She discovers her true self. But upon finding the truth about everything she thought she knew – she found herself in the face of disdain. Would there ever truly be enough answers to her questions? Will she accept the truth? Or will she be the destroyer of worlds? -- **She suddenly sat up, her light blue hair swaying on her back. "But hey, at least you could always ask me if you want some kind of space or something." She looks at me with the brightest smile pasted on her face. A smile slowly formed on my face as I looked at her. Her smile was like this infectious thing that would brighten the whole room. I sat up and glanced down on the mirrored ground - I could see my own reflection. Blonde hair, red eyes looking right straight at me, a smile. But the smile was almost evil in the reflection. I closed my eyes, the smile that found its way on my face disappeared. "Don't stop smiling." I look up to see Lyv gazing at me softly, observing me. "You look beautiful when you smile."**

But as much as I loved him, there were cracks in our perfect marriage. Damien didn’t want children. He’d been clear about it from the start, even though I had always dreamed of being a mother. He’d smile that charming smile of his and say, “Pups will tie us down, my love. You’re so beautiful and vibrant and pregnancy would change that. I want you to stay just as you are.”

Sage Davis was once the name on everyone's lips, a rising basketball star with unmatched talent and a promising future. But one wrong move, one selfish mis-timed dunk during a critical game cost her team the trophy and left her with a shattered ankle and a fractured reputation. A year off the court has left her anxious and stripped of the confidence that once defined her. Now 19, she is back, taller, stronger, but haunted by doubts and the pressure of living up to her former glory. Enter Andrew Jefferson, turning forty, striking, with the kind of presence that commands attention. He is the new coach of the team and, awkwardly enough, her best friend's father. Sage expected discipline, rules, and professional distance but what she didn't expect was the spark, a mere fickle at first, and then a flame. He sees the fire in her, the talent she possesses, and the fragility she tries to hide. Against all odds, she finds herself drawn to the one man she should never want. Their connection is forbidden. Dangerous. Taboo. But as the line between right and wrong blurs, Sage must decide if she’s willing to risk everything, her future, her friendship, and the fragile pieces of herself she is still putting back together, for a love that was never supposed to happen. This is a story of redemption, desire, and the kind of love that breaks rules, norms……and hearts.

Menjelang hari perkiraaan lahir, pembukuan senjata Keluarga Gumar tiba tiba mengalami kebocoran besar. Petinggi keluarga langsung mengambil keputusan. Mereka menyuruhku, istri pemimpin yang katanya tidak ada kerjaan, pergi sendiri ke gudang senjata untuk melakukan pemeriksaan. Aku kira itu hanya tugas rutin biasa. Tak kusangka, adik angkat suamiku, Mikha, memanfaatkan kesempatan itu untuk meledakkan seluruh gudang senjata. Ledakannya memekakkan telinga dan kobaran api menelan seluruh langit. Aku tertindih di bawah reruntuhan yang roboh, rasa sakit di perutku seperti disayat pisau. Namun, aku tidak menghubungi Justin lewat jalur pribadinya yang berprioritas paling tinggi. Aku malah memilih mengirim sinyal minta tolong kepada ayahku. Karena di kehidupan sebelumnya, pada detik pertama ledakan terjadi, aku menggunakan jalur prioritas itu untuk menghubunginya. Anakku akhirnya selamat. Namun, Mikha hancur tak bersisa dalam ledakan itu. Justin memang berkata tidak menyalahkanku. Dia mengatakan bahwa Mikha hanyalah orang luar, tidak sepenting ahli waris. Dia bahkan menghabiskan sejumlah besar uang untuk mendatangkan ahli kandungan yang menjagaku 24 jam dan menyuruhku tenang menunggu persalinan. Namun, tepat pada hari aku melahirkan. Dia sendiri yang mengunci aku dan anakku di dalam gudang kosong yang disiram bensin, lalu membakar kami hidup-hidup. Sebelum kesadaranku lenyap, lewat kobaran api yang menjulang tinggi, aku melihat wajahnya yang kejam seperti iblis. "Kalau bukan karena kamu sengaja mengulur waktu, Mikha nggak akan mati. Kamu pikir kamu bisa menipuku dengan pura-pura jadi korban tak bersalah? Mimpi!" "Kamu suka bermain api, 'kan? Baik, akan kubiarkan kamu merasakan sendiri keputusasaan terakhir Mikha!" Saat aku membuka mata lagi, aku sudah kembali ke lokasi ledakan gudang senjata itu.

(Bxb) Eric Valence thought finding a job as an editor for a well-known author named Draven H. Malcolm was the beginning of his writing career. He had no idea that it would also be the beginning of his love story. *** "You're so clueless, it bothers me." He frowned, "What does that mean-" "You never wondered why I gave you all the best things on my floor - the closest desk, drinks from my office, my newest project. I even went to your house and picked you up to make sure you weren't late." "My portfoli-" "There are twenty three others with the same experience as yours, that was an excuse," he admitted, peering into Eric's eyes and daring him to look away. Eric didn't. Draven sighed, "The reason I got mad that day..." he paused for a moment, hesitating again but deciding to let it all out, "the reason I got mad is because I heard you kissed Jason, which I wasn't too pleased about but then seeing you and Justin together..." He never finished his sentence, and Eric raised an eyebrow, "What about Justin and I?" "I feel like you're doing this on purpose," Draven chuckled, examining Eric's confused face. "I'm not sure what you're talking about-" "I like you," Draven said clearly with his entire diaphragm, expression it as loud as he could for Eric to understand. Eric felt his throat squeeze itself shut, no oxygen coming in or out. "I like you, a lot more than I thought, Eric," he breathed. Eric was unable to believe it, shook his head and looked away for moment, before meeting his gaze again. "Why me?" he asked quietly. Draven shrugged his shoulders, eyeing Eric with adoration and admiration, "I'm not sure either, but I want you to be mine."

I thought I had finally escaped. Walking away from my toxic marriage should have been the end of my suffering. Instead, it was only the beginning. Betrayed by my husband, deceived by my best friend, and used by my own mother—I was nothing more than a pawn in their game. But when the truth about my family’s legacy came to light, I seized the chance to take back control. With Justin, a man whose intentions I still can’t fully trust, I begin rebuilding my life. But just when I think I’m free, the threats start. Bloodstained baby clothes. Anonymous messages. A shadow that refuses to let me go. And when we finally uncover the person behind it all, the truth is far more horrifying than I ever imagined. Because some betrayals cut deeper than others. And some ghosts refuse to stay buried.
