Matthew 22:36-40 Mga Nobela at Kwento

Pada tanggal 11 November, asisten polos dan lugu tunanganku menjual berlian satu karat seharga satu sen. Dalam waktu singkat 20 menit, perusahaan merugi 400 miliar. Aku gemetar karena marah, sementara Arvino memelukku dan menenangkanku, "Jangan khawatir, serahkan hal ini padaku." Namun, malam itu, Lunaria Sasmaya mengunggah di IG Story tangkapan layar transfer sebesar 3 miliar dan menuliskan keterangan: [Hari ini aku melakukan kesalahan besar, tapi bos malah menghiburku. Dia juga berpesan supaya aku tidak marah pada harimau betina dan harus patuh ya.] Aku berkomentar di bawahnya: [Semoga langgeng.] Lunaria langsung menghapus postingan itu. Tiba-tiba Arvino Satya menerobos masuk dan menamparku dengan keras. "Dengan niat apa kamu menyukai postingan Lunaria? Dia sekarang sampai malu dan mencoba bunuh diri!" "Cuma rugi 400 miliar saja, perlu kamu desak dia sampai tak bisa hidup lagi?" Arvino berbicara dengan nada penuh pembenaran, seolah berada di pihak yang benar dan tanpa rasa takut. Namun, kemudian saat bahkan uang 40 ribu untuk makan pun tak mampu dia keluarkan, kenapa dia malah menangis?

My father loved silence. He believed noise was the mark of lesser people, so he installed a decibel meter in our home. Speaking above 40 decibels meant that we would have to pay him 10 dollars, laughing above 60 decibels meant 50 dollars, and crying or throwing a tantrum was a serious offense at 100 dollars per second. The year I turned four, I fell and broke my arm. I did not make a single sound. I bit down so hard that I cracked two teeth, but I saved thousands in noise fees. He praised me for it and called me a "high-value child," one that was worth the investment. I treasured that compliment and observed the rules carefully, keeping the house wrapped in suffocating silence. Then came the stormy night a thief broke in. He had a knife and was creeping toward my mother as she slept, and I watched it all from the gap in the wardrobe where I was hiding. I wanted to scream. I wanted to shriek and wake my father, to do something, anything. However, my eyes drifted to the decibel meter on the wall, and my hand found nothing but an empty pocket. I did not have enough allowance. One scream would cost hundreds, and I simply could not afford it.

"You’re just too old to handle me,” I spat in fury. “That’s why you won’t f*ck me.” His eyes turned feral. “What did you just say?” he growled, stepping closer. My breath hitched, and heat pooled between my legs. “I said you're old—and not man enough.” He grabbed my chin, lips inches from mine. “Baby girl, when I’m done with you, you’ll beg this 'old man' to stop. You won’t just know I’m man enough—you’ll feel it in every inch of your sore, trembling body.” ***** At 40, architect Lorenzo De Vito has built a life of discipline and control—until 23-year-old Emily Ross steps into his world. She's bold, ambitious, and irresistible, awakening desires he buried long ago. Lorenzo knows she's off-limits, a risk to his career and reputation, but her teasing smiles and undeniable chemistry make her impossible to resist. As the tension between them ignites, the line between control and surrender begins to blur. Will he resist the temptation or risk it all for the one woman he shouldn’t want?
