The man connected to something she was sent to destroy. When love feels like war, and trust could get you killed, will you sacrifice the mission? Or yourself?

According to the news this is going to be the biggest yet most controversial wedding of the year, maybe of the century. Not because the famous bad boy/play boy heir Julian Fernandez and Prodigy daughter Sandra Parker who was to be one for love; they were NOT definitely in love. Not even for the biggest scandal of the year involved the woman's controversial mother but because the two of the most powerful companies is about to merge, to be one to rule. The wedding will serve as proof of sealing the deal, to stand as the foundation of the two companies' new start. In which the unborn lovechild is to solidify the wedding. The scandal between the mother, daughter and the man in between is damned as the two heads of the two powerful companies decided to use it to their advantage, overlooking the fact that Fernandezs and Parkers had been rivals in terms of supremacy and power for decades, deciding they will gain more if they move and operate as one. The whole country is watching, maybe even the whole world. “Let the matrimony of union begin.”

WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE & EXPLICIT SCENES. READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. Seojin, an SS-rank Esper, is the golden retriever type—kind, powerful, and fiercely independent. But there's one thing he's sure of: he doesn't need a Guide, especially not a male one. Haunted by a traumatic childhood experience, Seojin has spent his life pushing away anything that might tie him down, particularly 'Guides'. He’s convinced he’s straight, and the mere idea of bonding with a male Guide is something he refuses to consider. Minseok, a mischievous and dominant S-rank Guide, notorious for his ability to tame even the strongest Espers. He has always been desired, pursued relentlessly by Espers who craves his touch. But none of them interest him—until he meets Seojin, the one Esper who dares to reject him outright. To Minseok, this isn't just about power anymore—Seojin’s resistance becomes an irresistible challenge. For the first time, an Esper he sees as different has the audacity to turn him away, and Minseok is determined to claim him by any means necessary. What starts as a battle of wills soon turns into something far more dangerous: a burning desire, undeniable attraction that neither can ignore. Enemies on the surface, Seojin and Minseok find themselves drawn together by a bond stronger than either expected. As their disdain/obsession towards each other turns into passion, they must confront their deepest fears and desires—because in the end, they might just be exactly what the other needs.

Meu noivo era o principal neurocientista do país. A primeira namorada dele foi diagnosticada com câncer, e só lhe restava um mês de vida. Para acompanhá-la em sua última jornada. Ele me forçou a engolir um novo soro da amnésia que havia desenvolvido, para que eu o esquecesse por um mês. Durante esse mês, ele ficou ao lado da primeira namorada para organizar o casamento, passar a lua de mel, e prometer um reencontro em outra vida, no meio de um mar de flores. Um mês depois, ele, em prantos de sangue, ajoelhou-se sob a chuva e, com a voz rouca, me perguntou: — O efeito do remédio é só de um mês. Por que você me esqueceu para sempre?

— Preciso da sua ajuda para forjar a queda de um jato particular — eu disse calmamente. — É a única maneira de eu conseguir deixar Luca Moretti. As pessoas diziam que ele havia renunciado ao trono da Máfia por minha causa. Chamavam ele do homem que trocou o poder pelo amor, o herdeiro que abandonou sangue e ouro apenas para se casar com uma garçonete das favelas. Durante anos, ele fez o mundo acreditar em nós. Ele construiu impérios sob o meu nome. Ele me enviava rosas toda segunda-feira. Ele dizia à imprensa que eu era a sua salvação. Mas amor nem sempre significa lealdade. Enquanto eu estava ocupada acreditando no para sempre, ele estava construindo um segundo lar pelas minhas costas. Um lar cheio de risadas, brinquedos, e filhos gêmeos que tinham os seus olhos. Na noite em que desapareci, o império dele queimou. Ele devastou cidades, subornou governos, e enterrou homens vivos apenas para me encontrar. Mas, quando ele fez isso eu já tinha partido. E a mulher por quem ele um dia morreria não o amava mais o suficiente para permanecer viva.

A amiga de infância do meu marido engravidou. Eu também. Para proteger a reputação dela, ele inventou que o filho dela era dele. E o meu... Era um bastardo, fruto de uma escapada. Quando entrei em pânico e o confrontei, ele só disse na maior frieza: — Paula Sousa é de uma família supertradicional. — Ela não aguenta fofoca assim.

Langit hanya seorang lelaki biasa yang dipecat karena memperjuangkan nasibnya sebagai guru swasta. Sudah jatuh tertimpa tangga--di tengah-tengah perjalanan pulang, ia mengalami kecelakaan tunggal yang meremukkan seluruh tulangnya. Saat ia berpikir bahwa dirinya sudah mati, ia justru mendapati dirinya terlahir kembali di dunia lain, di Valandria; sebuah dunia di mana fantasi adalah kenyataan yang dapat ditemukan di setiap sudutnya. Sayangnya, Langit tidak terlahir kembali di kalangan orang-orang berkuasa, tidak pula sebagai seorang terpilih dengan bakat luar biasa yang mampu menaklukkan segala tantangan. Ia bahkan tidak terlahir kembali sebagai makhluk hidup. Ya, dia terlahir kembali sebagai seorang undead (mayat hidup), tepatnya sebagai seorang skeleton (monster rangka); salah satu bagian dari makhluk kegelapan yang menjadi musuh bebuyutan umat manusia di Valandria. Eits, berita buruk belum selesai. Langit tersadar di sebuah katakomba di Kota Magna, sebuah kota mati yang terkutuk dan kini telah menjadi hunian mayat-mayat hidup, makhluk kegelapan, dan kutukan. Parahnya, makhluk-makhluk kegelapan di Kota Magna ingin menghabisinya karena sebuah alasan yang belum diketahui. Harapannya untuk menikmati petualangan seru dan menakjubkan di Valandria akhirnya harus ia sisihkan di sudut sampai ia berhasil keluar dari tempat tertukut itu. Untuk itu, tentu saja, ia harus menjadi lebih kuat untuk dapat mengalahkan musuh-musuh yang berdatangan tanpa henti. Selain itu, rintangan yang dihadapi Langit rupanya bukan hanya makhluk-makhluk kegelapan, tetapi juga misteri pekat yang menyelubungi Kota Magna itu sendiri. Setidaknya, Langit memiliki sebuah sistem pemandu yang dipanggilnya dengan sebutan Narator. Dengan bantuan Narator, Langit menapaki jalan menuju puncak evolusi meski hanya sejengkal demi sejengkal karena, yah, Narator ternyata bukan sistem yang sempurna… Di kehidupan kedua ini, Langit memutuskan untuk menanggalkan identitas lamanya. Langit yang dulu sudah mati, sekarang nama barunya adalah O. Ya, O. Hanya satu huruf, O. Sebuah huruf yang mirip dengan angka nol; sebuah filosofi bahwa ia akan mengulangi kehidupannya kembali dari titik nol.
