Love Me Not

WARNING! 18+ ONLY! "Emily! Kau tidak boleh keluar dari ruangan ini atau membelakangiku!" Alis Emily berkerut, tidak mengerti apa yang Jason inginkan darinya. "Apa maksudmu?" tanya gadis itu, mulai kesal. "Kau tetap di tempatmu, menghadapku!" perintah Jason. "Kau tidak boleh memalingkan muka sama sekali dan harus menyaksikan apa yang aku dan Tamara lakukan dari awal sampai akhir!" *** Emily Karlton terpaksa menjalani pernikahan tanpa didasari rasa cinta dengan Jason McKennel, yang merupakan saudara angkatnya. Perasaan yang seharusnya ditujukan kepada kakak laki-laki Jason, ternyata salah sasaran. Apalagi ketika sang ayah angkat mengambil keputusan yang layaknya hukuman mati untuk keduanya. Jason telah menjalin hubungan dengan seorang wanita yang sudah menikah, tetapi terpaksa menuruti keinginan sang ayah untuk menikahi Emily demi mendapatkan jabatan sebagai pemimpin perusahaan. Namun, di balik itu, ia tetap menjalani kisah cintanya secara diam-diam dengan sang kekasih. Sementara Emily berusaha menjadi istri yang baik, begitu pula dengan Jason yang berusaha untuk memupuk cinta untuk Emily, harus terganggu dengan kehadiran sang kekasih yang terus mengganggu pernikahan mereka dan segala usahanya jadi sia-sia. Akankah Emily berhasil mendapatkan hati Jason? Ataukah hubungan keduanya harus berakhir karena tidak ada cinta yang tumbuh di antara mereka?

When I was ten, I accidentally overheard my mother on the phone. It seemed like she was talking about me being a switched-at-birth rich girl, and that my real last name was Gardner. The coldness and cruelty my mother had shown me all these years suddenly made sense. When I turned 11, I paid an adult to get a maternity test done for both my mother and me. The results confirmed that I was indeed her biological daughter. I kept the report to myself and pretended I was still in the dark.

Elena Jones and I became orphans on the same day. Her parents are killed in a mass murder, and my father—the killer—is executed on the spot. For a month straight, Harborfield's most notorious playboy waits outside the courthouse, intent on keeping Elena. However, she throws his black card right back at him, like a headstrong heroine straight out of a movie. "The Mr. Carter I admire is refined and noble. How could he have a nephew like you? I'd rather starve than accept anything from a thug." He lets out a sharp, amused laugh and crooks a finger at me. "A death row convict's daughter and a thug make a fitting pair. I'll back you. Are you willing?" While clutching the ten-million-dollar IOU my father left behind, I nod without hesitation. Later, he orders me to get into his uncle Daniel Carter's bed. "With all that sin on your shoulders, you're an even better match for him. That way, Elena will finally give up on him for good."

"It's me against me, Tine. I am not here to lend you some options. You'll let go of that damn profession whether you like it or not. You're going to do as what as I say. You're all mine, baby. Mine."

Zyline had liked Nick for a long time. There were six of them in their group of friends, including Nick. Everyone knew about her feelings for him-except, it seemed, Nick himself. She couldn't tell if he was just insensitive or if he simply didn't have any feelings for her. Brent was her closest best friend among all of them, and even though she was too shy to tell him about her feelings for Nick, he knew anyway. What if, one night, Brent kissed her and said they should give it a try? She couldn't deny the spark she felt when he kissed her. She agreed to what he wanted-they would try to be together but in secret. Now, she was utterly confused. When Brent thought that she still had feelings for Nick, he suddenly left and disappeared without a word. That's when Nick finally pursued her for real. But why, instead of being happy-finally noticed by Nick as a woman-did her heart keep longing for Brent? Brent, who hadn't reached out to her since the night when something almost happened between them.

My billionaire husband suffered from chronic insomnia for years. Only the sleep balm I made could help him sleep. On the night of our seventh wedding anniversary, his childhood sweetheart poured a basin of scalding water over the old camphor tree in our garden. I wept and tried to save the tree as she apologized, “I didn’t know you used its leaves to make the sleep balm.” My husband gently comforted her and ordered his men to tie me to the tree trunk instead. “What a precious tree. You’ll spend the rest of your days with it!” With my wrist fractured as a result, I filed for divorce immediately. A month later, my husband was unable to sleep late one night. He stood in the garden and stared at the withered camphor tree.
