Lo Straight Artinya

"You're too fat to be my Luna." Those were the last words Penelope heard from her mate before he rejected her— Before she found him tangled in the arms of her best friend. Broken. Humiliated. Labeled the rejected mate of the Alpha, she ran—straight into the territory of a rival pack, where no one knew her name or her scars. All she wanted was to disappear. To work quietly in the Alpha’s mansion and forget the pain. But then she felt it again. The pull. The bond. Another mate. A second chance. This Alpha is nothing like the first. Dark. Dangerous. Scarred in ways only she can see. But how can she trust fate when the first nearly destroyed her? What if he rejects her too? Because heartbreak once nearly killed her... And this time, it just might.

Creatures that once belonged in fairytales now rule over the remnants of civilization's collapse, men who can shift into wolves at will instill fear into humankind's few remaining survivors.

Can Zoebella outrun the monsters chasing her, or will she run straight into the arms of someone much worse?

On my wedding day, the first love of my boyfriend appeared and declared she wanted my place at the altar. Sobbing theatrically, she pleaded, "Claire, I’m seriously ill. You have your whole life to be with Evan. Just let me have this wedding." And my boyfriend backed her up without hesitation. "Claire, you’re already pregnant with my child, and we’ve signed the marriage papers. You’ve got everything you need. This wedding? It doesn’t matter." The guests gawked, while I stood there as the punchline of their jokes. But instead of causing a scene, I kept my composure. That same day, I booked an abortion and looked his first love straight in the eye with a smile. "Sure, take the wedding, and take him too. He’s all yours."

"Marry me, Audhrey. And your problem will be solved." Kung ikaw ang nasa katayuan ni Audhrey Solace, pakakasal ka ba sa taong hindi mo kilala? Higit sa lahat.. sa isang babae? You are damn straight as a pole.. How could you give your yes to someone na kahit sa panaginip ay hindi mo naisip na makakasama mo forever? Sa kagaya mo ng kasarian?? "May boyfriend ako, for god's sake. Kahit na ano wag lang yan. Please, Miss.." Nagkibit balikat lang ang CEO ng company na pinagta trabauhan niya. "I can be your maid or even slave, but.. y-your wife??" Tila nadidiring bigkas nito sa dulo.

The entire world froze. Overnight, the city plunged to –40 °F. Yet, in the middle of this frozen apocalypse, my mother, my sister and her son moved into the home I bought for my marriage. Even my own husband took my sister’s side. They threw me out into the freezing cold to scavenge for supplies. I came back frozen half to death, and they had not even saved me a bowl of warm soup. Then, my sister shoved me straight off the fifth-floor landing. In that bitter cold, my body hit the ground and shattered like glass. When I woke again, I found myself back in the week before the apocalypse struck. This time, I resolved to cut them all off. I would make every last one of them pay.

Rifqah Dzakiyyah Tsurayya' Zahirah atau yang biasa dipanggil Riri, dijodohkan dengan Haikal Leonard Perdana yang merupakan anak dari sahabat ayahnya, yang ternyata telah memiliki kekasih. Meski awalnya menolak untuk dijodohkan, namun akhirnya Riri pasrah dan menerima perjodohan agar membuat orang tuanya bahagia. Walaupun ia tahu, bahwa Haikal terlihat sekali tidak menyukainya. "Akhirnya lo bangun juga. Lama banget lo bangunnya? Gue nungguin lo dari tadi. Karena sekarang lo udah bangun, jawab pertanyaan gue. Anak siapa yang ada dalam kandungan lo itu? Gue nggak pernah nyentuh lo, jadi nggak mungkin itu anak gue. Sebenarnya anak siapa itu?" cerca Haikal sinis. "Jaga mulut kamu, ya, Mas! Aku nggak berhubungan sama siapa pun. Mas pikir Mas siapa? Sampe Mas bebas ngehina aku sesuka hati Mas. Mas pikir siapa yang ngelakuin semua ini? Ini perbuatanmu, Mas! Mas udah memperkosa aku waktu Mas mabuk berat malam itu. Mas yang udah ngehancurin masa depanku. Sekarang aku hamil karena perbuatan Mas, tapi dengan teganya Mas ngefitnah aku? Aku benci sama kamu! Pergi dari sini! Aku nggak mau liat muka kamu lagi. Aku benci! Pergi ...!" Riri menangis dan berteriak histeris mengusir Haikal dengan melemparkan barang-barang yang dapat digapainya.

Nay, tunggu!" Ucap seseorang didalam lorong sekolah. "Kakak panggil saya?" Tanya seorang gadis yang merasa namanya di panggil. "Iya, lo Kanaya anak X IPS kan?" Tanya orang tersebut. "Iya Kak, ada perlu apa cari saya?" "Bisa ikut gue ke taman belakang sebentar? Tenang aja, gue orang baik-baik kok." Ucap orang tersebut meyakinkan sang Gadis. Kemudian gadis tersebut pun hanya menjawab dengan anggukan. Setelah sampai di taman belakang, mereka berdua lalu duduk pada bangku yang berada di bawah pohon besar yang terdapat disana. "Kakak siapa? Kenapa kok bisa kenal saya?" Ucap sang Gadis yang bernama Kanaya atau yang biasa dipanggil Naya. "Kenalin, gue Raka. Gue baru pindah dari Jakarta, dan disini gue gak punya temen, makanya gue pengen ajak lo kenalan," Jelas seseorang yang ternyata bernama Raka. "Kenapa kakak bisa tau nama saya? Kaka kenal saya?" Tanya Naya penasaran. "Tadi pas gue baru masuk, gue liat lo turun dari mobil, seketika gue langsung penasaran sama lo dan gue nanya sama salah satu murid disini, terus dia kasih tau nama sama kelas lo." "Oh gitu ya kak." "Jadi?" "Jadi apa kak?" "Lo mau berkawan sama gue?" "Maaf kak, saya banyak tugas."

At twenty-eight, I held the dubious honor of being the last unmarried socialite on New York's Upper East Side. Everyone around me was growing increasingly anxious about my single status. In my previous life, my mother arranged a matchmaking cocktail party, where I was told to choose a husband from ten handpicked elite bachelors. I bribed the event planner to place Mark West's profile at the very top—and as I had hoped, I chose him. After we married, Mark treated me with what seemed like tender affection. He even bought me an oceanfront villa in the Hamptons, making me believe I had finally found true love. But that illusion shattered the day I was nine months pregnant, just hours away from giving birth. Mark drove a scalpel straight into my abdomen—then, right in front of me, hurled our newborn onto the floor. "If you hadn't forced me into this marriage with your family's power, Sofia wouldn't have been heartbroken enough to go drinking and get drugged and assaulted. This… this is what you owe her!" He tossed the scalpel aside, then calmly let his private doctor pin down my blood-soaked body. I fought through excruciating pain for six agonizing hours, until I finally bled to death. Afterward, Mark dumped my corpse into the Hudson River. But for Sofia, he hosted a grand funeral—funded with my money, under my name—and paraded himself to the world as a grieving, devoted widower. Given a second chance at life, I refused to step foot in that cursed matchmaking event. Instead, I went straight to my mother with a demand: marry me to Robert Black—the most ruthless, cold-blooded titan of Wall Street, whose scarred face was feared by all. In the end, stripped of my financial backing, Mark's hedge fund collapsed. He became a disgraced fraudster, spat on by everyone on Wall Street.

Bagi Rein yang selama ini menyimpan rasa suka pada sahabat masa kecilnya. Pernikahan ini akan menjadi sesuatu yang luar biasa dan patut dicoba. Namun, untuk Irin, pernikahan ini hanya akan menjadi percobaan belaka. "Kalau dua bulan kemudian gue nggak bisa suka sama lo, kita cerai." - Irina Afariska. "Kalau lo cuma mau nikah dua bulan, kenapa nggak sekalian lo bilang dari awal. Biar sekalian, kita nggak usah nikah buat selamanya!" - Reinhart Putra Gunawan. ____ All right reserved by Kaitani Hikari
