Selama 20 hari ibu dirawat inap karena sakit parah, pacarku yang kebetulan adalah dokter di rumah sakit itu tidak pernah menjenguknya sekali pun. Hari pertama, karena sahabat kecil perempuannya pindahan rumah, dia mengambil cuti sehari. Hari kedua, sahabat itu mulai magang di rumah sakit, dan dia harus menemaninya ke sana kemari, mengurus segala hal tanpa terkecuali. Hari ketiga, hari keempat .... Ibuku dirawat di lantai 13, sementara Gavin bekerja di lantai 17. Padahal hanya berjarak 4 lantai, naik lift 10 detik, naik tangga dua menit. Namun selama 20 hari, Gavin tak pernah sampai. Di saat ibu dipulangkan dari rumah sakit, aku mengantarnya sendirian ke stasiun kereta. Di perjalanan, akhirnya aku menerima pesan dari Gavin. [ Anjing peliharaan Serlina hari ini vaksin, aku harus antar dia dulu. ] Kali ini, aku tidak lagi diam. [ Oke, aku mengerti. Hati-hati di jalan. ] Aku tersenyum tipis, lalu menambahkan. [ Selain itu, kita putus. ]

Hansel Hill, 121 years old, a female werewolf, is forced to go to high school to look after her brother, Alexus Hill (aka Alex). Alex is in his earliest stage in life, 13 years old and first high school, so he needs to have a guide with him in interacting with humans. Hansel hates the idea of going to high school again because she has gone through it three times already, and all of her high school lives are nothing near fun. But, she learns that going to high school again is not all about babysitting her brother. Something happened in their old neighborhood that makes Hansel's existence a threat to their wolf family. Hansel's wolf family believes that she can't handle human interactions anymore and that they need Hansel to be sent to the wilderness. Hansel hates such ideas more than going to high school, so she will prove them wrong by going to high school again maintaining an average simple life of a nerd. On her stay, she will unexpectedly find her mate in the person of Arche Jones, a popular guy who will oddly find her disguise amusing. But as far as Hansel knows, Arche is a human. Can a human mate be possible? Can her planned average simple life be possible? Let's read and see.

At age 5, I met you. Understood that I was born to marry you. You were silent, you were shy. But I managed to make you be my friend. At age 13, I fell in love with you. I loved your cheeky smile. I loved the way I am the only person you rely on.At age 17, I became yours and promised myself to you. I pledged to wait for you no matter how long. You were sweet, caring, and treated me like I'm the only woman in your world. At age 18, you left. Moving to another country to meet the future that you are born to. I waited but you hardly called. At age 25, you came back for me, but you're not the man I knew. From the day I was born, I was meant to be his. It was okay. Everything was great. I loved him as we played on the playgrounds, as we watched grow up- and he loved me. Suddenly, he left with his father to go to Italy leaving me behind for seven years, he came back but he wasn't the same.From the day I was born, I was meant to be his. I was happy to be his. But he was no longer the man who I was betrothed to.

His heart was about to burst off its ribcage from the amount of continuous consternation he suffered since the drive to the hospital after he receives the catastrophic news about his wife. Ace Taylor the renowned businessman, world-famous pharmaceutical tycoon, and eminent top textile industrialist of the United States dashed through the entrance of Breach Candy hospital. His eyes searching for the reception flurried as drops of sweat settle down on his forehead even on the biting cold night of mid-December. He slaps the desk on tenterhooks unable to form the right words to gain the attention of the middle-aged lady sitting at the entrance. She raises her head to embrace the attention and her eyes were on stalks to receive the striking Aphrodite who only could be anyone's dream watching on big screens and business magazines standing right in front of her. "My wife...Scarlet Taylor..." "Yes sir..yes sir" the receptionist scurried on her speech and looked through her monitor. "Burns case, room number 13, straight from left Dr. Shahnaaz Hussain is treating her. You can speak..." Ace raced in that direction leaving the receptionist hanging on her words. "Scarlet?" His eyes left red with unshed tears as he shook his wife awake. Scarlet opened her eyes and stared at the man standing in front of her dolorous. "Who are you?"

Cassidy never imagined her world would collapse on an ordinary Tuesday afternoon. She came home early—just ten minutes early—because she forgot her sketchbook. Ten minutes. That was all it took to destroy everything. Because when she opened her bedroom door, she didn’t just catch her boyfriend cheating. She caught him with her mother. The betrayal hit harder than any heartbreak she’d ever read about in her romance novels. Humiliated, shaking, and unable to breathe, Cassidy did the only thing she could—she ran. Straight into the neon haze of the city’s wildest nightclub. She didn’t plan on drinking. She didn’t plan on dancing. And she definitely didn’t plan on meeting him. Dante Ashford. The dangerously handsome billionaire heir with a voice like velvet and a stare that feels like sin. He didn’t ask if she was okay—he asked her name like he was already claiming it. He touched her like he had every right. He kissed her like he’d been waiting for her his whole damn life. One shot turned into two. Her pain turned into recklessness. And one devastating night turned into the hottest mistake of her life. A one-night stand with a man whose name she never learned. Cassidy thought that would be the end of it. Just a secret she’d take to the grave. Until her mother announced she was getting married. And Cassidy came face-to-face with her new “family.” Dante—the stranger who’d had her pinned to silk sheets, whispering sinful things in her ear—is now her stepbrother. Worse? He remembers everything. Every kiss. Every moan. Every broken piece of her she tried to forget. And Dante isn’t the type of man who lets go. Not of the past. Not of secrets. And definitely not of her.

Ayomide, a once brilliant and studious girl, unconsciously drifted away from her dreams into the realms of nonchalant attitude towards her academics.

She stumbled upon an unserious act who made the whole affair about her dead father bearable and she liked it there; in comfort.However, the cheerfulness didn't last long, before reality struck her and she was made to represent her supposed "class of dullards" in a Mathematics only competition.This story sees young Ayo, as she struggles with life's imbalance at the early stage of her life, to restore the once shining light in her; her hope.

She scrubs floors at Crawford Elite Royal, but every guy in school whispers about what they’d do to her if they got the chance. Kade doesn’t whisper. He acts.

Break her defenses. And when she begs, he’ll make sure she never forgets who owns her. She’s older. Off-limits. But Kade Kingston doesn’t follow the rules. He makes them.

Suamiku tak memiliki gaji. "Duh saya senang banget kalau udah akhir tahun gini," Ucap Bu Narti saat kami sedang berkumpul menunggu jam pelajaran anak selesai. "Emang kenapa Bu?" Bu Yomi menimpali ucapan Bu Narti. "Ya senang lah, akhir tahun kan suamiku dapat bonus, gaji ke 13, lumayan, terus bulan depannya gajinya naik kan." "Oh gitu, kalau di pabrik suami saya gak ada tuh namanya bonus akhir tahun, tapi gak apa-apalah yang penting punya kerjaan." "Makanya suruh kerja di pabrik yang bonafide kayak suami saya, jangan kerja dipabrik kecil gitu, tahun depan juga kayaknya pabriknya bangkrut hahaha." Ucap Bu Narti dengan tawa terbahak-bahak, padahal menurutku tidak ada yang lucu dari ucapannya itu. Aku hanya diam tidak ikut berbicara apapun. "Ehhh tapi ada yang lebih kasian loh dari Bu Yomi," Bu Narti kembali berbicara. "Siapa?" "Tuh Bu Sofi, suaminya kan cuma pengangguran gak punya gaji hahaha," Bu Narti kembali tertawa.
