New Books Dan Brown

A week before the marking ceremony, my fiance, Alpha Mason Wallace, suddenly switches the venue to Firefly Grove. His friends tease him. "You changed the venue just because Serena wants to see fireflies? And you didn't even tell Cora? What if she shows up at an empty site? "Besides, Cora's the one who picked Moonlight Bay. Do you really think she'll go along with this?" Mason says casually, "She burned her skin saving me. She won't fight me over a venue change. Besides, she planned every detail herself. She'll notice the update." I stand outside the doorway, listening in silence. Then, I slip away without a word. When the day finally comes, Mason calls from Firefly Grove, panic in his voice. "The ceremony's about to start. Where are you?" I stare at the shimmer on Moonlight Bay and answer calmly, "I'm already here. My ceremony is about to start too."

After I, Wynn Jaffe, the Chief Forensic Pathologist, submitted my request to transfer into a clerical position, everyone in the department lit up with joy and approved it unanimously. Everyone except my boyfriend’s childhood friend, Yvette Hans, the rookie forensic doctor who called herself the ‘corpse whisperer,’ completely broke down. She burst into my office, grabbed onto my white coat with both hands with reddened eyes. “Senior, your skills may be outdated, but I truly hope you’ll stay and keep speaking up for the victims!” I coldly shrugged off her hand, packed my things, and walked away. In my previous life, she claimed herself as the ‘corpse whisperer,’ someone who could commune with the dead, hear their murmurs, and know what happened to them before they died. I worked tirelessly on every autopsy, dissecting, analyzing, and revising my reports. She only needed a single glance at the body to recite my entire report word-for-word. The victims’ families treated her like a saint, while they sneered at me, accusing me of disrespecting the dead. I could not accept it. I poured everything I had into every examination, but she always beat me to it, revealing the truth before I could. In the end, an extreme group of grieving family members, convinced I desecrated a corpse, kidnapped me, dismembered me, and dumped my remains in the wilderness. When I opened my eyes again, I had been reborn back to the very day Yvette first claimed she was a corpse whisperer.

"Is this the life-like doll Paige got me as a Christmas present?

The man eagerly spreads my legs, ready to experience the scalp-crawling pleasure I can bring to him.

At the New Year's party, my pineapple juice is swapped for beer. To make things worse, I've just taken cephalexin, which shouldn't be mixed with alcohol. After barely surviving the ordeal, I am shocked to see my husband, Harry Grant, defending Sally Lane, who was responsible for the mix-up. "Can we please just let it go? She didn't do it on purpose," Harry pleads. However, I'm not about to forgive Sally, especially given how sketchy her relationship with my husband has always been. But Harry cuts me off with a scowl, "Enough! She's just graduated and doesn't know any better. "What's the point of holding a grudge? Do you really want to ruin her life to feel better?" he asks, clearly trying to protect her. As I watch him stand by her, my heart sinks. "Fine then, go live with her."

“You can stand there and deny it all you want,” he said huskily in my ear. “But I know how drenched you were that night. Your tight little p*ssy? It was calling my name, baby.” “You’re insane! I never wanted you!” I gritted out, hating how weak I sounded. Hating how my arms suddenly didn’t have the strength to push him away. How there was a part of me that truly wanted him, despite everything. “Keep denying it,” he murmured, eyes darkening. “It just makes me more eager to bend you over my desk and f*ck that attitude right out of you.” *** When executive assistant Alice Rhodes sent her arrogant and insufferable boss, Theodore Linden-Hawthorne, a sext during the company’s New Year’s party, her life turned completely upside down.

Pada hari ulang tahun putriku. Dia sengaja berkata di depan semua orang, "Mama, kamu sudah jadi wanita tua, jangan ikut makan kue. Papa beli kue ini mahal, tahu." Hatiku langsung mencelos. Saat aku menoleh, kulihat dia membawa sepiring kue terbesar dan memberikannya kepada guru les privat. "Mama Vira, stroberi di kue ini manis sekali. Cepat cicipi." Suamiku mengabaikan rasa canggungku. Dia malah tersenyum, lalu mengoleskan sedikit krim ke wajah putriku dan guru les itu. "Panjang umur dan selalu selamat." Melihat mereka bertiga tertawa bersama, tampak begitu manis dan akrab. Saat itu juga, aku benar-benar menyerah. Jadi, aku menelepon dosen pembimbingku dan memilih bergabung dengan program rahasia nasional. Bagaimanapun juga, mengorbankan impian demi orang-orang seperti mereka, sungguh tidak sepadan.

Calon suamiku adalah seorang pilot balon udara, dan mantan pacarnya ingin berpetualang terbang setinggi seribu meter. Ketika gas helium di balon bocor, dan kami dalam situasi berbahaya, calon suamiku mengambil parasut ganda dan melompat bersama mantan pacarnya. Aku memohon padanya sambil berderai air mata, "Aku mengandung anakmu, bisakah kamu membawaku pergi lebih dulu?" Namun, dia menyalahkanku, "Ini bukan saatnya cemburu atau bercanda tentang kehamilan. Erika takut ketinggian, nggak seperti kamu yang bisa melompat dengan parasut. Kami tunggu kamu di bawah," katanya, sambil melepaskan tanganku dan melompat tanpa khawatir. Dia tidak tahu bahwa parasut yang ditinggalkannya untukku telah dilubangi oleh Erika. Aku terjun dari ketinggian seribu meter sambil membawa bayi dalam kandunganku.
