Di dalam gerbong kereta yang sesak. Seorang wanita yang tak sanggup lagi menahan godaanku sedang memegangi perut bagian bawahnya, memohon padaku dengan suara putus-putus, “Jangan… jangan di sini… terlalu banyak orang…” Tapi aku yang sudah merasakan manis tubuhnya, mana mungkin bisa berhenti begitu saja? Aku menjawab wanita itu dengan suara baritonku untuk menggodanya, “Kamu tidak memakai celana dalam, sengaja agar lebih mudah, 'kan? Jangan takut, aku akan pelan-pelan…” Tak kusangka, setelah semuanya terlanjur terjadi, aku baru mengetahui kenyataan mengejutkan bahwa wanita yang ada dalam dekapanku saat ini adalah ibu tiri pacarku.

"Dek, lihat di sana ...." Seorang ibu menunjuk ke arah sebuah bukit. "Itu bukit Manau." Aku yang tidak mengerti maksud ibu itu hanya terbengong, menanti perkataan selanjutnya. "Di sana manusia harimau bersemayam, konon kalau ada wanita cantik di waktu magrib masih mandi di sungai, akan diculik dan dijadikan pengantinnya." "Apa?" ***** "Jadi kau yang sudah sebesar ini belum pernah punya pacar, Lid?" tanya Rani teman se-posko "Iya,ada aja halangannya. Kalau aku suka sama itu orang, dia yang tidak suka. Kalau orang itu yang suka, aku yang tidak suka, gitu aja terus, gak pernah ada yang clik." "Lidia, mungkin hatimu memang dipersiapkan untuk seseorang yang istimewa, siapa tahu kau dapat jodoh di lokasi KKN ini." "Di lokasi KKN ini? Siapa?" "Siapa tahu dokter Idhar, Bang Joseph, atau Rasyid." Rani menyebutkan nama dengan percaya diri "Kalau masih ada pilihan itu bukan seseorang istimewa," jawabku geram. "Kalau tidak, seorang lelaki misterius ...."

BREE LEV. I thought it stands for something simple until I heard his deep soulful voice. A single hello was all it take for him to have my undivided attention. Akala ko hulog siya ng langit. Isang anghel na magsasalba sa akin. I was all wrong. He's a fallen angel with dark blue eyes and cold leather-covered hands. A man mantled with power and veiled with sin. We're opposites. I'm weird and a social butterfly. He's terrifying and brooding. A lone wolf. I love pinks and swirls. He prefers pointed knives and black guns. Darkness seems to be his fave companion and death his pastime. I, on the other hand, will always choose life. He told me to stay away from him. Guess, you know by now, that I did the exact opposite, right? I stayed 'cause I want him so bad, it hurts. I, Bree De Veyra, daughter of one of the families of The Council, lay my life to the head of the Foedus Corp– Lev Petrov. My father's sworn enemy. The master manipulator and my protector. Or my destroyer? LEV Three years ago, one phone call, two minutes. I swore I will kill her. Four weeks before her 16th birthday, I did the unthinkable. I destroyed her trust and left her. Broken and beyond repair. Twenty-four hours before her 18th birthday, nagbalik ako para bawiin s'ya. Twelve hours after I abduct her, we exchange I dos. Eight seconds after our first kiss, I know I will protect her with my gun and with my life. I, Lev Petrov, Heir to a fallen empire, vows to avenge Bree from all of the people that wronged her. It will be my life's mission until the last drop of my sinful blood...I will never let them rest in peace.

"Sir, everyone’s whispering about how she's not good enough for you!" "Well, they've got it wrong. It's me who strives to be worthy of her presence."
