Lullaby Yuna

On my wedding day, my fiancé bailed. Sabina—his ex—had sent him a diary listing 77 things she'd done for him. Turns out she only dumped him because his family pushed her to. So, he ran back to her. While I was still reeling, Jacob—my fiancé's best friend—showed up. He got down on one knee, flashed a ring he'd clearly had ready, and said, "Yuna Auclair, I've liked you for a long time. Will you marry me?" I thought he was my person. But after the wedding, Jacob turned distant. Hot one second, ice-cold the next. Then I found a diary in his study. Just like the one Sabina had sent my ex. Page one hit like a truck: [Hurt Yuna Auclair seventy-seven times, and I'll break up with Gabriel and be with you.] Oh—and Gabriel? He was my ex.

"Say something" he whispered. "..." I opened my shaky mouth to speak but nothing came out of it. I watched as he moved closer to me, closed his eyes and sniffed my scent. My heart palpitated as I saw him gulp down nothing. With him a few inches from me, he raised my chin, making sure that I was staring right back at him. "I love your scent" he confessed. His gruff and domineering voice echoed in my ears like a lullaby that made my knees weak. "Let's strike a deal Olivia" he paused and lightly ran his hand through my hair. "What do you say about becoming my mistress? In return, I will take you away from your misery" Alpha Damon arbitrated.

Everyone knew Peter was crazy about me. But five years into our marriage, he knocked up his mentor's daughter. Crying, Cindy grabbed his hand. "I won't let Yuna know." Peter just stared her down. "You'd better not. I'm only helping you because I owe your dad. Don't get any bright ideas." She had the baby on my birthday. Peter looked at the kid like he was already in love. Then Cindy, all smug, texted me: [Ms. Zander, don't you think my baby deserves a dad with a real title?] I signed the divorce papers and caught a flight to Hampsburg.

Marion Yuna "Mayu" Selvestre is the result of a betrayal. Thirsty for her parents' love, the girl asked for nothing but to be part of her father's or mother's family. But that became more ambiguous after she was chosen as the fiancée of a prominent billionaire, whom both her half-sisters wanted. Her parents could not accept it, for they were also after the billionaire. And her wish became more vague when she became pregnant due to a one-night mistake with the man. In fear that her parents would abort her baby and in fear of the man finding out that she was pregnant, she left their town and moved around every time she was caught by him. Even if she is afraid of life, Mayu is even more afraid that the cunning and monster Aldo Hendrix Castellanos will take her son away from her.

Dia bahkan menyuruh bawahannya untuk menyambutku. Tak disangka, bawahan itu ternyata Hubert yang sudah tiga tahun tidak bertemu. Sekilas saja Hubert melihat cincin yang berkilauan di jari tanganku. "Itu 'kan model tiruan dari cincin yang dibeli Pak Leandro dengan harga 10 miliar untuk istrinya? Tak disangka setelah beberapa tahun tak jumpa, kamu malah jadi begitu mengejar gengsi." "Kamu sudah ngambek cukup lama, harusnya sudah puas. Pulanglah! Anak Yuna sudah masuk usia sekolah, pas sekali bisa kamu yang antar makanan tiap hari." Aku tidak mengatakan apa-apa, hanya mengusap cincin itu dengan perlahan. Hubert tidak tahu, ini adalah cincin dengan permata paling murah dari sekian banyak permata yang pernah Leandro berikan padaku.

“Why do you keep looking at me like I’ve died before?” Elion’s voice trembles—half accusation, half fear. Cale freezes. He shouldn’t know. He shouldn’t remember. But he does. Every scream. Every last breath. Every timeline where Elion slipped through his hands. After a viral scandal destroys his career, Elion joins a reality dating show hoping to fix his reputation. The last thing he expects is a partner who knows his coffee order, his sleeping habits, his childhood lullaby—things he never shared on camera. And when time itself begins to glitch around him, Elion starts asking the question Cale has spent lifetimes trying to avoid: “Have we… met before?” Because Cale isn’t human. He’s a reaper who has rewound time again and again just to keep Elion alive—each reset costing him pieces of his memory. Now the countdown is almost over. One more death. One final rewind. One impossible choice: Save Elion… or stay with him as a mortal who remembers nothing. When a romance made for television turns into a battle against destiny, how far will a reaper go to protect the only soul he has ever chosen?
