Luca X Adrien

Semua rasa sakit yang telah dialaminya di masa lalu, telah membuat hati Cita membeku dan enggan menjalin hubungan dengan pria mana pun. Untuk itulah, Cita masih saja betah berada di kursi roda dan menutupi kesembuhannya dari orang luar. Dengan begitu, lebih mudah baginya bersikap apatis dan menolak perasaan dari siapa pun.

Aku adalah Isha, putri dari bos mafia nomor satu di Sisilia. Sejak kecil aku selalu memberontak. Ayah takut aku suatu hari bertindak gegabah dan menikah dengan orang yang tidak pantas, jadi dia langsung memberi perintah bahwa aku harus bertunangan dengan Luca, pewaris Keluarga Marino yang sedang naik daun. Meskipun ini pernikahan politik, setidaknya aku ingin memilih cincin yang kusukai. Oleh karena itu, aku menghadiri lelang keluarga mafia. Saat cincin permata penutup acara ditampilkan, aku mengangkat papan penawaran. Palu lelang bahkan belum jatuh ketika suara wanita yang arogan terdengar dari samping belakangku. "Gadis kampungan sepertimu berani ini menyaingiku? Empat miliar! Kalau tahu diri, cepat keluar sendiri." Tempat itu langsung hening selama beberapa detik, hanya terdengar suara rana kamera yang pelan. Aku menoleh dan melihat seorang wanita mengenakan gaun haute couture berwarna emas. Senyum santai menggantung di sudut bibirnya, seolah seluruh ruang lelang adalah panggung pribadinya. Belum sempat aku bicara, juru lelang sudah tergesa-gesa mengetukkan palu. "Terjual! Selamat kepada Nona Sophie yang berhasil mendapatkan cincin utama 'Bintang Abadi'!" Alisku mengerut dan amarahku membuncah. "Belum selesai dilelang sudah bisa diketuk? Tempat ini aturannya buruk sekali." Sophie berbalik dengan tatapan tajam, menilikku dari ujung sepatu hingga puncak kepala. "Aturan?" Dia mengejek, "Sayang, aku ini Sophie, adik angkat Luca, pewaris Keluarga Marino. Di sini, akulah aturan!" Aku tak bisa menahan tawa. Kebetulan sekali, Luca adalah nama tunanganku. Aku segera mengambil ponsel dan menekan nomor yang sudah kuhafal. "Luca,'adik angkatmu’ baru saja merebut cincin pertunanganku. Kamu mau gimana?"

“He pressed me to the wall with one hand tight around my throat, the other sliding beneath the thin silk clinging to my skin. I should’ve been begging for help. Instead, my knees went weak when he leaned in, his mouth hot against my ear. ‘Does it hurt, darling?’ he whispered. I shook my head, even as his fingers left bruises. ‘Good. I like it when you take it.’ God, I hated him. God, I wanted him to never let go.” A DARK, EROTIC TALE OF OBSESSION, HUMILIATION, AND HUNGER. They called him the Devil, a sadist with a crooked smile and hands built for breaking men. In the underworld’s most perverse auction, Luca Ruelle is nothing but trembling prey, sold for a price no soul should fetch. Silk-wrapped, bare, choking on shame and smoke, he should be praying for rescue. But Kain Astor doesn’t rescue. He claims, corrupts, and devours. He teaches Luca how it feels to be owned. How pain can bloom where fear lives. How pleasure is just another kind of cruelty. Every command is a dare, every punishment a promise. Under Kain’s hands, Luca learns the exquisite agony of surrender, and the terror of how badly he needs it. He should be fighting for his life. Instead, he’s sinking to his knees, eyes glazed, lips parted, whispering the one word that seals his fate— “Please.”
