Mila 18 Author

Anggur merah mengalir perlahan menyusuri leherku yang jenjang, turun hingga ke tulang selangka, lalu ke bagian dadaku yang putih dan berisi. Cairan merah itu membasahi kedua buah dadaku, sebagian mengalir ke celah yang dalam di antaranya, lalu merembes ke kemeja putih yang kukenakan. Pakaianku pun menempel erat di tubuhku, membuat dua tonjolan lembut di dadaku tampak samar di baliknya. Tubuhku mulai bergetar pelan karena gugup, tetapi di saat yang sama, ada sensasi tegang yang sulit dijelaskan. Ini pertama kalinya aku dengan sadar mencoba menggoda pria lain selain suamiku.

After a devastating fire ends her career and fractures her memory, famed concert pianist Mila Renard retreats to the Halden Institute, a luxurious psychiatric clinic hidden in the Swiss Alps. Her goal is simple: disappear into silence, avoid the past, and never ask questions. But Halden is not the safe haven it pretends to be. Files vanish. Patients whisper. And her assigned psychiatrist, Dr. Adrien Kael, is as enigmatic as he is unorthodox. Drawn to Mila’s haunting music and unreadable silence, Adrien begins to suspect her amnesia is no accident. When strange accidents start to occur and fragments of that lost night resurface, Mila realizes she didn’t come to Halden by chance—she was brought here. Now, every answer uncovers a new danger. Because some memories were buried for a reason. And someone is watching, waiting, and willing to do anything to make sure the truth stays dead.

Setelah pergi ke luar negeri untuk kuliah, karena biaya hidup yang tidak mencukupi, aku bekerja paruh waktu di tempat hiburan di Aurelion. Sejak malam itu, setiap kali terbangun di tengah malam, aku selalu teringat betapa mengerikannya pengalaman yang aku alami malam itu.

Aku dan suami membawa anak kami ke taman bermain, tak disangka sebagian besar bajuku basah karena sedang menyusui. Hal ini menarik perhatian ayah dari teman sekelas putriku di TK. Dia bilang ingin minum susu dan menggunakan foto-foto yang dia ambil diam-diam untuk memaksaku menurutinya. Suami dan putriku berada tidak jauh dari kami, tetapi dia bersikeras menyuruhku melepaskan ikat pinggangnya...

"Sayang, aku setel ke pengaturan tertinggi sekarang. Nikmatilah." Sambil berkata, suamiku menekan tombol pengontrol di tangannya. Aku masih di luar, di antara kerumunan, tapi aku langsung lemas terduduk di lantai di bawah tatapan semua orang. "Nggak ... Ini terlalu berlebihan." Sebelum aku sempat berdiri, semua pria di sekitarku mendekat, menatapku dengan tatapan jahat. "Bu, biar kami bantu..."

Sahabatku membawaku ke pusat terapi laktasi dan ternyata terapis yang menanganinya itu seorang pria. Dia bukan hanya menggunakan tangan, tapi juga mulut! Yang lebih parahnya, aku malah jatuh cinta pada sensainya.
