Mei-chan No Shitsuji

Di kota futuristik Singapura, Ayesha, seorang ahli perkembangbiakan serangga, menjalani hidupnya dengan tenang hingga cintanya dihancurkan oleh pengkhianatan Daren, kekasihnya yang ambisius. Demi memenangkan pemilihan walikota, Daren meninggalkan Ayesha untuk menikahi wanita dari keluarga terpandang. Hati yang hancur membawa Ayesha ke jalan gelap—jalan yang mempertemukannya dengan Alexei, presdir dari salah satu perusahaan kriminal paling ditakuti. Ayesha dan Alexei menjalin persekutuan berbahaya untuk menggulingkan Daren. Mereka menciptakan “Operasi Vespa”, sebuah proyek rahasia yang melibatkan tawon raksasa Asia (Vespa mandarinia), serangga agresif dan mematikan yang dimodifikasi untuk bertahan dari insektisida. Ketika wabah serangga mulai melumpuhkan distrik-distrik di bawah kepemimpinan Daren, kota Singapura berubah menjadi medan pertempuran antara politik, kekuasaan, dan balas dendam. Namun, konflik terbesar terjadi di hati Ayesha. Sementara dendam mendorongnya untuk melanjutkan kehancuran, kerja sama dengan Alexei membangkitkan perasaan yang tak pernah ia duga. Alexei, yang dikenal sebagai pria kejam dan tak pernah dekat dengan wanita, mulai terobsesi dengan Ayesha. Di tengah ambisi Alexei dan kebrutalan rencana mereka, Ayesha dihadapkan pada pilihan sulit: apakah ia akan membiarkan dunia terbakar demi balas dendam, atau menghentikan kekacauan ini dengan risiko mengkhianati rekan yang telah jatuh hati padanya? “Operasi Vespa” menjadi permainan takdir yang penuh intrik dan drama, di mana cinta, kekuasaan, dan pengkhianatan terjalin dalam alur yang rumit. Apakah hati yang terluka seperti milik Ayesha dapat menemukan cinta sejati di tengah ambisi dan kehancuran? Ataukah semuanya akan berakhir dalam kehancuran total?

When my mother went into kidney failure and needed a transplant, it was Pauline Maynard—on the brink of death herself—who gave my mom a second chance at life. Just before Pauline passed, she gripped my hand tightly and whispered her final words. "Summer, Ricky is my only son. He's rebellious… and fragile. Please, take care of him. Just three years, please?" I gave her my word. Then I moved into their home and gave Ricky everything he needed—love, comfort, a sense of safety. For three years, I stayed true to that promise. By the third year, Ricky had transformed. No longer the wayward boy he once was, he rose to become the Mafia Don Ricky Lenza. And I was carrying his child. As I busied myself with wedding plans, I overheard something I was never meant to hear—his voice, low and mocking, as he wrapped another woman in his arms. "Summer? She's just pretending to love me for the sake of my mother's inheritance and a stupid deal. A gold digger like her dreams of marrying me? What a joke." A sharp pain pierced my chest, like thorns stabbing deep beneath the skin. On the way to a prenatal checkup, we were hit in a crash. My baby didn't make it. And my mother, sitting in the passenger seat, shielded me with her life. When I woke up, I stared blankly at the date on my phone. Three days left. That would've marked the end of the three-year promise. I realized then—I'd paid my debt to Pauline in full. It was time for me to go.

"Your Highness." "Lady Eiren." Di bawah langit malam yang kelam, tanpa sedikit pun memunculkan cahayanya sang bintang apalagi cahaya sang rembulan. Di tengah-tengah taman yang banyak ditanami bunga eglantine yang merumpun, … juga di antara hujan taburan kelopak bunga pohon plum yang jatuh meluruh. Beserta di sekitar beterbangannya bola-bola cahaya api, dilengkapi dengan kepakkan sayap kecil ratusan kupu-kupu merah muda. Mereka berdua, sepasang anak muda berlawanan jenis, yang masing-masing darinya sedang mencium harumnya setangkai bunga keramat pun, … saling berhadapan satu sama lain, dengan ekspresi muka yang tampak begitu serius. "Daripada Tunangan saya, …." "Daripada Tunanganku, …." Berbicara bersamaan sekaligus bergerak secara bersamaan pula, mereka … lekas melanjutkan ucapan yang sempat terjeda dengan menggunakan suara yang lantang, seraya mengasongkan tangkai bunga yang tengah dipegang sendiri untuk cepat-cepat diberikan kepada sang lawan bicara. "… Saya akan memilih Anda!" Sang pemberi bunga yang melambangkan cinta mati, yaitu bunga mawar hitam, … Lady dari kediaman Marquess Eiren, Darissa. "… Aku akan memilihmu!" Juga sang pemberi bunga yang melambangkan banyak kebebasan, yaitu bunga bakung laba-laba merah, … pangeran kedua kerajaan Aethelred, Lancient. "MARI/AYO KITA MENIKAH!" Sudah memutuskan untuk bekerja sama di kesempatan kedua ini, … dalam membalaskan dendam mereka.

I, Ginny Tremaine, have a written agreement in my mate contract with Tyler Kingsley, the chairman of the Werewolf Council. As long as I proposed to him 99 times first, he promised to personally show up at the Office of Werewolf Mate Affairs on the 100th time and complete our marking ceremony. However, Tyler doesn't show up on the promised day and instead appears on the main stage of the Silvernight Music Festival with his lover, Vivian Lowe. In the livestream watched by the entire pack, he leans down and kisses her so intimately that it's practically a declaration of ownership. The social media networks instantly erupt with excitement. "#ChairmanOfTheWerewolfCouncilOfficiallyRevealsMate." "Chairman of the Werewolf Council caught kissing his lover and showing PDA." At the same time, I become a trending search for standing in front of the Mate Affairs office for the 100th time. Everyone speculates about the identity of the mystery man who never showed up and wonders if I will try for a 101st proposal. Tyler, likely feeling guilty, promises me the next day, "Next time, I promise I'll be there on time." He arrives in a crisp suit with papers in hand, standing outside the Mate Affairs office. But all he receives is a short message from me, saying, "Alpha Tyler, there won't be a 101st proposal. We're truly over."

The day before New Year's, my younger brother announced he was bringing his girlfriend home for dinner. Excited, I drove my new car to pick them up, taking my daughter along with me. However, as soon as his girlfriend got in the car, her face darkened. "Henry, you didn't tell me your sister was staying at your place—and with a kid!" she snapped. I frowned and was about to explain when my brother quickly interjected, "She's not staying. After dropping us off, she'll be heading to a hotel." Only then did his girlfriend's expression ease. I swallowed my discomfort and asked my brother what he was planning. He leaned in with a conspiratorial grin and said, "Sis, don't cause any trouble for me, okay? My girlfriend is the daughter of the Cromwell Group's CEO!" My eyes widened in shock. Was not the Cromwell Group the same company my ex-husband had just handed over to me as part of our divorce settlement?
