Lucid Dreaming Synonym

“Aku menunggu waktu ini tiba hampir 4 tahun, Anne. Mengamatimu dari jauh dan membayangkan tubuhmu tanpa bisa aku sentuh secara langsung. Aku menahan semuanya hingga aku rasa umurmu sudah cukup dan aku berhasil menunggu hari ini tiba.” Jari telunjuknya bermain di sekeliling pusar Anne. Wajahnya menunjukkan jika pria itu sangat senang dengan kegiatannya. Apakah Anne tetap pada pendiriannya? Apakah waktu singkat yang mereka punya tak membuat keduanya saling jatuh cinta? Apa alasan yang membuat pendirian itu ada? Lalu, siapa yang menunggu 4 tahun untuk bertemu Anne?" _____________________________________________________________ Untuk sebuah alasan, membangun komitmen dan menikah tak pernah menjadi wishlist selama 32 tahun Anne hidup. Namun, Jasmine, ibunya mendesak Anne untuk segera menikah dan memberinya cucu. Anne menolak hingga Anne sering membisu dan memilih tinggal sendiri. Anne tetaplah Anne yang teguh dengan pendiriannya. Namun, dia juga anak yang ingin menuruti keinginan ibunya. Tidak, Anne tidak menikah, dia memiliki cara lain dengan mengandalkan apa yang dia punya. Menyewa gigolo yang tak dia kenal daripada para pria yang telah terlibat kencan buta dengannya, kencan buta yang diatur temannya. Sayangnya, uang dan seluruh keuntungan lain yang Anne berikan tak membuat semuanya berjalan mulus. Gigolo itu mengajukan sebuah syarat, dia meminta agar mereka tinggal bersama hingga tujuan Anne tercapai. Anne menolak pada awalnya, sebelum dia kembali dan menuruti keinginan pria itu dengan syarat. “Pertama, jangan mengusik privasiku dan jangan pernah memberi perhatian lebih dari yang seharusnya,” ucapnya dengan nada serius. “Kamu takut jatuh cinta denganku? Yah, aku cukup tahu dengan pesona yang aku miliki. Kamu mengakui hal itu secara tidak langsung, Anne.” Axel tertawa sarkas. "Keep dreaming, Axel.” “Dreams do come true, hang in there.” ——

In a haze of rage and ruined dreams, she stumbles into the arms of a mysterious man who will change her life forever–Draven Montelare, a mysterious guy who’s going to offer her a life changing contract. An heir in exchange for taking back her company, her name, and her dignity. He is dangerous. She is lost. Together, they are a storm that can’t be undone.
