Novel Good

While a Billionaire with an enigmatic touch crosses her way, I'm a columnist trying to make ends meet. As they work together for a good cause, unexpected feelings start to surface, ultimately raising the issue of whether seeking love is worth the risk.

Sejak kematian tunangannya, Donghai, Li Meihui memilih meninggalkan dunia balet yang dulu menjadi hidupnya. Setiap langkah tariannya kini terasa hampa, setiap kenangan hanya menambah luka. Hingga suatu hari, ia bertemu Kim Rain—seorang musisi yang melihat kesedihan dalam tarian yang tak lagi memiliki makna. Rain tidak pernah meminta Meihui untuk melupakan masa lalunya, tapi ia memainkan melodi yang secara perlahan membimbingnya untuk melangkah lagi. Di antara nada-nada yang tercipta, Meihui mulai menemukan dirinya kembali. Dan kali ini, ia menari bukan untuk mengenang seseorang yang telah pergi, tetapi karena ia ingin. Namun, bisakah musik dan tarian menyembuhkan hati yang telah lama terjebak dalam kesedihan? Ataukah Meihui akan menemukan alasan baru untuk terus menari bersama seseorang yang tak pernah ia duga?

“Camille, I’ll love you forever!” Jameson let out a low, agonized growl. Just as he was about to climax, his phone suddenly began to buzz. He ignored it, of course. Now was hardly the time. However, his phone lit up again. The moment he saw the text on the screen, his body froze. Camille heard him answer the call. “Hello?” In the deep silence of the night, the voice on the phone cut through the stillness, clear and unmistakable. “Jameson, did you know that Sylvia—” Jameson switched languages and cut in with a sharp command, “Keep it down. It's not a good time.” The other person switched languages too, though he was still loud. “The hospital results came in. Sylvia is in the final stages of cancer. She only has a month left! Her last wish is to become your wife. Can you grant her that before she passes?” Jameson’s expression changed immediately. “What?! Wait for me!” He ended the call and turned to Camille. “Camille, something urgent came up. I need to step out for a bit. Be good and stay home. I’ll be back after you’ve had some sleep.” Before she could respond, he rose to wash up, changed his clothes, and left without looking back. Moments later, her phone buzzed. Sylvia: [Camille, you lost. I told you—Jameson has always been mine.] Right above it was a message from three days ago: [If I tell him I have cancer, do you think Jameson will leave you and come to me? I bet he will.] Camille’s gaze slowly shifted from her phone screen to the open bedroom door. What Jameson did not know was that she had already picked up a new language. She understood every word of that call. After a long moment, a faint, bitter smile appeared on her face. “Yeah, I lost...”

What a small world. As Elaine Johnson was checking in at the hotel front desk, she happened to bump into Jasper Carter's young mistress —a girl who looked like an innocent college student. She was dressed in a simple white cotton dress, pure and demure, with a shy, sweet smile. "Hello, here's your room key. You'll be staying in the executive suite on the top floor," the receptionist said. "Thank you, miss," the girl replied softly, taking the key. Just then, her phone rang. Elaine overheard her speaking bashfully to the person on the other end: "Mr. Carter, I... I'm already here. When will you be coming?" Her tone was soft, a little nervous, filled with affectionate anticipation. A moment later, Elaine heard her add, "Mhm, I'll wait for you. No rush. Please drive carefully, Mr. Carter." The girl's voice was so sweet and tender, it could have melted anyone's heart. Elaine could not help thinking that her husband had good taste — the girl was young and beautiful, gentle and thoughtful, the kind of woman any man would find hard to resist.

My best friend, Sydney Cox, is a troublemaker by nature. She thinks everyone around her owes her a good life. During summer break, she insisted on working in a factory. I was worried that she might get tricked, so I let her work in my family's factory out of the kindness of my own heart. In fact, I even gave her the easiest position with the lightest work. But I didn't expect her to think that her salary was lower than that of the veteran employees in the factory, leading to her setting fire to my neighborhood. The blaze was far too strong. Even though the firefighters came as soon as possible, my family and I still ended up dying in the fire. When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day before Sydney's first day in a factory.

The night before the annual gala, my wife promised me a big surprise. But the very next day, she publicly quintupled the marketing manager's bonus. To me, she just gave a curt nod and a half-hearted "keep up the good work". When I questioned her decision, she brushed it off casually. "You've racked up some impressive wins in court. I'll give you that, but let's be real. Without Kevin hyping you up, you'd never have hit top-tier status. Plus, what's mine is yours. Why nitpick over a bonus?" The room buzzed with anticipation of my explosion. But I held my tongue till the gala ended. The next morning, I marched into her office and slapped my resignation letter down on her desk. "Might as well tack my salary onto Kevin's. Consider it my wedding present to you." She erupted, branding me as narrow-minded and dooming me to the unemployment line. She conveniently overlooked my track record as a powerhouse attorney. For that alone, elite firms were lining up to recruit me.

Life has never been good to me. And just when I thought life couldn't get any worse, the Goddess mocked me one more time and gave me a stubborn and difficult Alpha as my fated mate - someone who wanted nothing to do with me. But what did I have to lose? To begin with, I had nothing. So leaving and forgetting all about him should be easy. Well it was, until it wasn't. ¤¤¤¤¤ The book is the second in the Black Shadow Pack Series Spin-off Novels.

Kinan mengira pernikahan adalah tentang membangun rumah baru. Namun, setelah lima tahun bersama Aris, ia sadar dirinya hanyalah "penduduk kontrak" yang sewaktu-waktu bisa diabaikan. Aris adalah suami yang nyaris sempurna di mata orang lain—mapan, sopan, dan sangat berbakti pada ibunya. Namun di balik pintu kamar, bakti itu menjadi racun yang perlahan membunuh jiwa Kinan. ​Setiap tetes keringat Kinan untuk mengurus rumah dianggap kewajiban yang tak perlu diapresiasi, sementara setiap rengekan ibunya adalah titah raja yang tak boleh dibantah. Puncaknya adalah ketika Kinan menyadari bahwa di balik kemesraan fisik yang mereka lakukan tiap malam, Aris menyimpan rahasia besar: sebuah masa depan yang dirancang tanpa melibatkan namanya sedikit pun. Kinan bukan pendamping hidup, ia hanya fasilitas untuk mempermudah hidup Aris dan ibunya. ​Dihadapkan pada pilihan antara bertahan dalam kehampaan atau hancur untuk merdeka, Kinan mulai meracik "pembalasannya" sendiri—bukan dengan amarah yang meledak, tapi dengan kepergian yang paling sunyi.
