Never Lose Hope Artinya

Pukul 4 pagi, suamiku, Arvian, membangunkanku dengan lembut. Suaranya lembut, "Elisa, sayang, bisakah kau melakukan sesuatu untukku?" Tapi kata-katanya berikutnya menghancurkan semua harapan. "Selina lapar. Buatkan dia sup ikan." Selina adalah pembantu kami, dan dia juga selingkuhan Arvian yang sedang hamil. "Aku baru saja mendapat ikan yang segar. Pergi ke dapur dan buatkan semangkuk sup untuknya. Khusus untuk pewaris Keluarga Mahendra." Aku menolak dengan suara yang dingin. Amarahnya pun menyala dalam sekejap. "Jangan keterlaluan, Elisa." "Apa membuat sup itu terlalu sulit bagimu?" Aku menggeleng dan tetap diam. Tangannya mengusap pipiku, dan senyum merendahkan tersungging di bibirnya. "Baiklah, Elisa. Jadi kau sudah berani menentangku sekarang." "Pikirkan baik-baik, Elisa. Apa kau benar-benar ingin tetap menjadi bagian dari Keluarga Mahendra?" "Dan posisi sebagai pengacara keluarga? Pikirkan apa kau masih menginginkan semua itu... lalu beri aku jawabanmu." Melihat kesombongan di matanya, sisa cinta terakhirku padanya pun lenyap. Aku mengeluarkan ponsel dan menekan nomor yang sudah lama tak kuhubungi. "Aku ingin keluar dari Keluarga Mahendra."

I should have been walking down the aisle. Instead, I was running through the woods in my wedding dress. The white fabric caught on every branch, tearing apart like my life. My name is Camela Siegel. My father is the Mayor, and he sold me to save himself. Vincent Castellano was supposed to be my husband. They call him the Mad Prince, but I learned he’s so much worse than that. His hands trembled when he touched me—sometimes gentle, like I might break, and sometimes rough, like he wanted to overpower me. “You’re mine now,” he’d whisper in the dark corners of that house. “No one else gets to touch you. No one else gets to hurt you but me.” I tried the door handle every day for three months. It only turned from the outside. When help finally came, I thought it was over. I thought I could go home and pretend none of it ever happened. I was wrong. Vincent found my journal—the one where I wrote about him, about what he did to me, and about who he truly is. Now he’s not just keeping me locked up. He’s hunting me. They call him “The Fox” for a reason. He’s patient and waits. When he catches what he’s after, he never lets it go. I can feel him watching me even now—through my bedroom window, from across the street, in the shadows where I can’t see him but I know he’s there. My father thinks making that deal saved his life. He doesn’t realize it destroyed mine. Vincent said he’d keep me until the last day of my life. I’m starting to think that day is coming soon.

When betrayal shatters the fragile truce between their families, Selena and Dante are forced to fight side by side. In a world of guns, lies, and vengeance, enemies can become lovers…and hatred may be the only thing keeping them alive. In the mafia, love is never pure. It’s a weapon. And sometimes, it’s deadly.
