"Aku tidak selingkuh, aku meneliti." Begitu kata Rayendra, seorang dosen psikologi pernikahan yang sedang membuat jurnal ilmiah bertajuk “Efek Ketidakpuasan Emosional Terhadap Perilaku Infidelitas di Kalangan Pasangan Urban”. Tapi semua jadi rumit ketika subjek penelitiannya ternyata membuatnya benar-benar jatuh cinta. Di satu sisi, Rayen harus tetap menjaga statusnya sebagai suami ideal di mata rekan kampus dan istrinya yang seorang psikiater terkenal. Di sisi lain, ia mulai tenggelam dalam hubungan berbahaya dengan Amel, seorang istri yang menjadi relawan “eksperimen sosial”-nya. Apakah cinta bisa dijustifikasi dengan logika ilmiah? Ataukah justru ilmiah hanyalah kedok dari kebohongan paling manusiawi? Di balik candaan dan teori-teori psikologi yang ia lontarkan, ada sebuah pertanyaan besar yang tak mampu ia jawab: “Selingkuh itu dosa atau kebutuhan?”

Aku berada di titik terendah dalam pernikahanku dengan Mas Angga. Kami seperti orang lain yang terikat dalam sebuah pernikahan, tapi berjalan di takdir yang berbeda. Lelaki yang aku kenal dari sebuah media sosial, pelan tapi pasti mengisi ruang-ruang kosong yang entah sejak kapan tidak penghuni. Ia bagaikan penyelamat yang menenangkan jiwaku yang kesepian dan aku memutuskan untuk berselingkuh dengannya. Tapi siapa sangka, saat aku tengah bahagia bersama selingkuhanku justru hal buruk terjadi padaku. ____

Our place was hit by an earthquake. I was crushed by a slab of stone, but my wife, leader of the rescue squad, abandoned me in favor of her true love. She said, "You're a soldier. You can live with a little injury. Felix can't. He's always been weak, and he needs me." I was saved, eventually, and I wanted to leave my wife. I agreed to the chip research that would station me in one of the National Science Foundation's bases deep in the mountains. My leader was elated about my agreeing to this research. He grasped my hand tightly. "Marvelous. With you in our team, Jonathan, this research won't fail! But… you'll be gone for six whole years. Are you sure your partner's fine with it?" I nodded. "She will be. I'm serving the nation here. She'll understand." The leader patted my shoulder. "Good to know. The clock is ticking, so you'll only have one month to say your goodbyes. That enough for you?" I smiled. "More than enough."

Aku dan adikku adalah anak kembar, tetapi aku lebih berat 800 gram darinya. Sejak kecil, adikku lemah dan sering sakit, sedangkan aku aktif dan lincah. Saat berusia empat tahun, dia didiagnosis penyakit darah. Ibu menyalahkanku. Dia mengatakan aku merebut nutrisi milik adikku saat di kandungan, jadi aku harus mengembalikannya. Saat pertama kali diambil darah, jarumnya sangat besar, aku sangat ketakutan. Ibu menyuruhku tidak perlu takut. Dia memberiku sebuah pena ajaib. Katanya, keinginan yang ditulis dengan pena itu akan menjadi kenyataan. Aku menulis "tidak sakit". Saat jarum kembali ditusukkan, Ibu membelikanku permen lolipop yang manis dan sepertinya benar-benar tidak terasa sakit. Namun kemudian, saat berusia lima tahun, aku menggambar kue stroberi dengan pena itu. Alhasil, darahku malah diambil satu liter. Minggu itu, adikku pun sudah bisa duduk dan bermain. Usia tujuh tahun, aku menulis ingin pergi berlibur. Keesokan harinya, aku malah didorong ke ruang operasi untuk diambil sel pembentuk darah, sementara pipi adikku untuk pertama kalinya tampak merona. Saat berusia delapan tahun, aku menulis ingin tetap menjadi peringkat satu tahun depan, tetapi sehari sebelum ujian, sumsum tulangku diambil. Di sisi lain, adikku akhirnya keluar dari rumah sakit, mengenakan gaun baru yang belum pernah kumiliki. Pada usia sembilan tahun, tubuhku sudah sangat terkuras. Dengan tangan gemetar, aku menulis satu kalimat yang miring dan tidak rapi. [ Semoga di kehidupan berikutnya, aku tidak menjadi anak Ibu. ]

Some secrets are kept in the dark. Others are screamed into the pillow. Aubrey "Yuna" Vance is a girl living a double life. To the students at Dam’s College, she’s the quiet, studious wallflower. But behind the closed doors of her mother’s new mansion, she is a voyeur, haunted by the rhythmic sounds of her stepfather’s bedroom and the shadow of a stepbrother who knows her every shameful habit. Jake Thomas is the billionaire athlete-turned-coach who built an empire on discipline. He’s the man who saved Aubrey’s mother from poverty, but to Aubrey, he is a walking temptation, a "hunk of a man" whose every glance feels like an intrusion. Then there is Drake, Thomas’s son. A popular biker with a cruel streak and a mountain of blackmail. He’s caught Aubrey at her weakest, and his price for silence is her total submission. When the school’s golden boy, Brendan, enters the fray with a public declaration of love, the fragile peace in the Thomas household shatters. Aubrey is no longer just watching; she’s being hunted. Between a stepfather who hides a mistress and a dark desire for his stepdaughter, and a stepbrother who wants to claim her out of pure spite or the sweet golden boy Brendan in which the world will be very much willing to accept but Aubrey is drowning in a sea of forbidden heat. In a house where the walls are thin and the secrets are thick, Aubrey must decide: Will she play the "good girl" for the world, or will she surrender to the noiseless dreams that keep her wet and awake at night?

Do you ever just look out of the window watching the clouds go by and question what your life is meant to be? What am I meant to do? Will I ever meet him? Hi, I’m Nova, a 17 year old about to turn 18 and go join the elites of the wolf world at the elite college known as Winter Garden Academy. It’s the place in which those that are powerful in the packs or have unique abilities go to hone their skills. I am merely the daughter of an omega but I have the ability to read people’s minds, the alpha found it very useful when having to negotiate with other neighbouring packs. I’m unsure why I have such an ability though as usually the children of omegas aren’t blessed by the moon goddess is this way. But now it’s time to take the next step in life and join the elite and royals..
