Paving Block Dinding

“Jangan pernah berani menyimpan perasaan untukku atau aku kirim lagi kamu pada ayahmu yang Iblis itu!” Bagi Hamish Elias Adhirajasa, seorang miliarder berhati dingin berusia tiga puluh lima, wanita hanyalah sebuah objek yang bisa dibeli, disentuh, lalu dibuang sesuka hati. Cinta? Ketulusan? Ia tak pernah percaya dua hal itu. Sumpahnya hanya satu: tidak akan pernah terikat, tidak akan pernah menikah. Lalu Kalea datang. Gadis rapuh yang ia beli dari ayah kandungnya sendiri yang seorang penjudi kejam. Seharusnya Kalea hanya menjadi pelayan tak terlihat di rumah megahnya. Namun, kepolosan dan tatapan lugu gadis itu adalah anomali yang perlahan meruntuhkan dinding es yang Hamish bangun selama bertahun-tahun. Peringatan keras yang ia berikan pada Kalea justru menjadi jerat paling mematikan bagi dirinya sendiri. Semakin ia mendorong, semakin kuat hatinya yang beku ditarik mendekat. Ketika seorang pria yang terbiasa menghancurkan dihadapkan pada satu-satunya jiwa murni yang pernah ia temui, pilihan mana yang akan ia ambil? Menjadi iblis yang lebih kejam demi melindungi hatinya, atau mengambil risiko hancur demi merasakan cinta untuk pertama kalinya?

I wheel myself into the birthday celebration that Wales Price has thrown for me. The atmosphere is originally lively, but a brief silence descends when everyone sees me. The guests are there for different purposes, but celebrating my birthday is not one of them. "Is that Mr. Price's crippled fiancée, Joey Hertza?" "Yeah, but the one he really loves is Anna Giovanni. I saw them kissing in a corner earlier." They use their wine glasses to block their mouths as they speak loudly. They think I'm still the crippled deaf I used to be. They don't know that I regained my hearing last week. I can hear every mocking comment they make. Meanwhile, Wales stands there and allows it to happen. He doesn't stop the guests from talking about me. He seems to have forgotten that I only ended up like this while protecting him. I shoved him away when the accident happened and got trapped underneath the car myself. When I was rescued, Wales swore to stay with me and care for me for life. It's only been three short years since then, but he's already changed. I receive a message on my phone. "Ms. Hertza, the lifelike corpse that you've ordered is now complete. Reply to this message with your confirmation, and your death-faking service will be immediately effective. We will send the corpse to your and Mr. Price's wedding in five days." I don't even hesitate as I reply with my confirmation. Enjoy your wedding, Wales.

Cinta bukan selalu soal bahagia. Kadang ia datang di waktu yang salah, dari orang yang tak terduga—dan lahir dari kebohongan yang disepakati bersama. Ayudia tak pernah punya waktu untuk mimpi. Hidupnya adalah tentang bertahan. Ayahnya terbaring sakit, tagihan rumah sakit mencekik, dan dunia terus menertawakan ketidakberdayaannya. Sampai satu tawaran gila dari pria asing datang dan mengubah segalanya. Ardhan. CEO muda, dingin, dan duda berhati beku. Ia butuh istri—bukan untuk dicintai, tapi sebagai formalitas demi ambisi keluarga. Tidak ada ruang untuk perasaan. Hanya kontrak, batasan, dan pernikahan semu yang akan berakhir dalam hitungan bulan. Namun mereka lupa, bahwa hati bukan bagian dari kesepakatan. Hari demi hari, peran yang dimainkan mulai terasa nyata. Ayudia, dengan segala luka masa lalunya, mulai mengusik dinding pertahanan Ardhan. Sementara pria itu, yang masih dibayang-bayangi cinta lamanya, perlahan terseret dalam badai rasa yang tak pernah ia izinkan tumbuh. Saat masa lalu menghantui dan rahasia demi rahasia terbuka, keduanya terjebak dalam dilema paling sulit: mempertahankan kebohongan demi bertahan hidup, atau merobek semua kepalsuan dan memperjuangkan sesuatu yang tak pernah mereka rencanakan—cinta yang lahir dari luka dan keterpaksaan. Karena terkadang... yang pura-pura justru menjadi hal paling nyata.

Sejak sudah bisa mengingat sesuatu, aku tahu kalau ibuku membenciku. Saat aku berusia tiga tahun, dia memberiku obat tidur. Di usia lima tahun, dia menyuruhku minum racun serangga. Tetapi aku tidak mudah mati. Dan ketika berusia tujuh tahun, aku belajar melawannya tanpa ada yang mengajariku. Kalau dia tidak memberiku makan, aku akan membalikkan meja makan agar semuanya juga tidak bisa makan. Kalau dia memukuliku dengan tongkat hingga terguling di lantai, aku akan memukuli anak laki-laki yang paling dia sayangi hingga wajahnya lebam. Aku sangat keras kepala dan terus melawan hingga usia dua belas tahun. Sampai ketika adik perempuanku yang paling kecil lahir. Dengan gerakan tangan yang canggung, aku mencoba mengganti celana anak kecil yang basah itu. Ibu langsung membantingku ke dinding dengan keras. Dia menatapku dengan jijik dan ketakutan. “Apa yang mau kamu lakukan pada anak perempuanku?” “Dasar anak tukang pemerkosa! Kenapa kamu tidak mati bersamanya saja?!” Saat itu juga, aku akhirnya mengerti mengapa dia tidak pernah mencintaiku. Aku menutup kepalaku yang berdarah dan untuk pertama kalinya tidak melawan saat dipukuli. Dan untuk pertama kalinya juga, aku merasa apa yang dia katakan itu benar. Keberadaanku adalah sebuah kesalahan. Aku seharusnya mati.

In a world where werewolves and vampires roam freely among humans, Lyra is a lonely, resourceful 19-year-old girl living in New York City. Her only goal is to raise enough money to flee to Canada, in order to put several states between her and Carlos, her stepfather and a gang leader, who has decided to make her his possession. In her race to win her freedom, she crosses paths with a huge animal that she thinks is a giant dog. Hypnotized by those eyes, is she really making the right choice by taking this injured beast home? Didn't she just bring the big bad wolf back into the fold? I saved a dying beast from the gutters of New York, never expecting him to be my salvation—or my ultimate undoing.

Now, captured by Carlos and thrown onto the auction block for the city’s supernatural elite, Lyra is just a "lot" to be sold to the highest bidder. As vampires and shifters place their stakes on her life, she realizes the world is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Will the Alpha who discarded her return to claim his debt? Or is Lyra destined to be a broken plaything for the monsters in the dark?
