"Give me one more chances, Via," kata Dante sembari menatap manik mata Olivia. "Nggak bisa, Dante. Aku nggak bisa," sahut Olivia bersikukuh. "Kenapa? Paling nggak kasih aku alasannya," desak Dante lagi. Olivia menggeleng. Merasa sia-sia saja jika ia memberikan alasannya. "Kalau begitu akan kucari sendiri jawabannya," tukas Dante menyudahinya. Manis. Bibir yang mengecup Olivia masih sama seperti lima tahun yang lalu. Manis dan akan selalu manis sampai kapanpun. Seperti kenangannya bersama Dante.

L’amour n’est jamais une ligne droite. Il est capricieux, imprévisible, parfois cruel, souvent brûlant. Il naît dans les endroits les plus inattendus, entre des âmes qui n’étaient pas censées se rencontrer, ou qui, au contraire, semblaient destinées l’une à l’autre. Mais que vaut le destin face au désir ? Sophie n’avait jamais cherché à tomber amoureuse. Séductrice par nature, elle savait jouer avec les cœurs sans jamais se laisser piéger. Mais Damien… Damien était différent. Il l’attirait autant qu’il la déroutait. Entre eux, c’était un jeu d’attirance et de provocation, un ballet enivrant où aucun des deux ne voulait céder le premier. Pourtant, quelque chose de plus profond se dessinait sous leurs joutes taquines, quelque chose d’inavouable… quelque chose qui effrayait Sophie autant que Damien lui-même. Elena, elle, pensait avoir trouvé l’amour aux côtés de Lucas. Doux, attentionné, toujours là pour elle. Mais alors pourquoi son cœur battait-il différemment lorsqu’elle croisait Damien ? Pourquoi cette envie dévorante de lui appartenir, même si elle savait qu’il ne lui était pas destiné ? Et Lucas… Lucas, fidèle et patient, se trouvait soudain face à une réalité qu’il n’avait jamais envisagée : l’amour ne suffisait pas toujours. Son cœur blessé allait-il s’accrocher à une femme qui ne pouvait l’aimer pleinement, ou s’ouvrir à l’inconnu, à une autre possibilité, un autre avenir ? Dans cette histoire, les cœurs s’égarent, les corps s’attirent, les âmes se tourmentent. Entre passion et raison, entre interdits et tentations, chacun devra faire un choix. Car au bout du chemin, une seule vérité demeure : l’amour est une flamme indomptable… et personne n’en ressort indemne.

"Kiss me Amber." He whispered, making my skin tingle. My eyes clouded as I felt the desire building up in my stomach. I looked at him, my gaze hazy as I struggled to remain clearheaded. "I'll do that when I get my revenge." *** Given a second chance at living, all Reene wanted to do was get back at the people who hurt her. Would she be able to?

One evening, architect Alexander Vale seeks shelter under the same streetlamp, crimson umbrella in hand.
