People Come Go

Even before marrying Wayne Cooper, I knew he had a fierce sister-in-law. He would always tell me to never get into a fight with her. After we marry, we spend Christmas Eve at his parents' house for the first time. I'm forced to bustle around in the kitchen as I prepare a feast for over a dozen people. Meanwhile, Wayne's family lounges in the living room. They chatter away while enjoying the fruits I've washed and sliced. As I place the last dish on the table, Wayne's brother and sister-in-law, Kyle Cooper and Lucy Wren, arrive. When I want to take my seat, I discover there isn't one for me. That's when Lucy snorts and says sarcastically, "I heard you're a good wife who's obedient and easygoing, Melanie. I have to say that your cooking is… mediocre, though." This infuriates me. I'm about to retort when she turns to my mother-in-law. She says, "I think you should do the cooking from now on, Gloria. Your food is delicious…"

YOLO! You only live once.That is my motto in life. I don't care about what other people would say and think about me. I am me. And others' opinions don't matter.I am Alexa Lopez, Alex for short. Everyone calls me by that name, including my parents. I am a proud lesbian and I am lucky that my parents accept me for who I am but sometimes my mom still wishes that I will wake up to my senses one day and meet a man.Me? Meeting a man? Yuck!I heard many times from my friends and some relatives that I look pretty. They said I have a good body and they are sure that if I am a straight girl, many boys will chase after me.But that will never happen. I am not pretty, I am handsome.I am 17 years old, still a teenager and young as they say but I am already mature. I already had 3 girlfriends in the past and all of them were head over heals at me. I can't blame them, I treated them nicely and I did my best to be a good partner for them, giving them gifts, accompanying them when they go shopping and help them with their studies. I sometimes even do their homework and their projects.I am the only child in my family and I must say we are financially stable. My dad is a lawyer and my mom is a dermatologist.I am currently a senior high school student in Mary Poppins International School and I am also one of the varsity players of the women's basketball team. I am quite famous I must say.It may seem that I have everything, but inside this tough person is still a fragile lady.

Arthur Salacosa has always been passive. He lets the flow decide where he would end up. So when they needed to move due to his father's job, he readily agreed without any qualms. He thought it would be just another city, with new people to observe, and a new place to pass by. However, it wasn't just any city—it was Delta. The city known to have the highest vampire population rate and the only city led by a vampire. Would Art continue living his life riding the tides? Or will there be something at Delta that will turn his life upside down? Maybe a few crimes, some strange friends, and a vampire love interest?

Tapi semua berubah setelah Sean datang kembali ke hidupnya dan memporak-porandakan kehidupan tenangnya dan memicu kembali trauma yang telah ia tutupi hingga membuatnya menjadi seperti saat ini. "You miss me? Sudah lama kita tidak bertemu, how are you?" tanya Sean sambil menghimpit tubuh kurus Anya ke dinding lift, hanya ada mereka berdua saja di sana.

Aku tidak pernah membayangkan berada dalam keadaan seperti ini. Menjadi orang lain di kehidupan sekarang. Namaku Ardan Rakha Wisesa, biasa dipanggil Ardan. Bukan, bukan Ardan. Mereka lebih sering memanggilku Cupu, Culun, Kutu Buku dan sejenisnya. Ya, aku adalah anak laki-laki dengan ciri-ciri jelek, dekil dengan kacamata yang tidak pernah lepas dari kedua mataku. Mataku minus sekaligus silinder dan sudah cukup parah, untuk berobat aku tak mampu. Bahkan bisa sekolah pun aku sudah bersyukur. Satu keunggulan yang aku miliki adalah pintar. Itu juga yang membuatku bisa sekolah di sekolah elite ini. Sekolah tempat orang-orang kaya yang selalu menyombongkan kekayaan orang tuanya. Sedangkan aku? Hanya dijadikan sebagai target bullying di sekolah itu. Hingga pada suatu hari, bullying yang mereka lakukan sudah melewati batas wajar. Hingga membuatku berada dalam kondisi sekarang. Merubahku menjadi orang lain dan menghilangkan semua identitas asliku. Aku yang sekarang, Guntur Hastanta Haidar atau yang biasa dipanggil Guntur. Menjadi anak seorang dokter spesialis bedah plastik terkenal di kota itu. Lalu di mana Guntur yang asli? Ini yang kemudian menjadi teka-teki yang juga harus aku selesaikan selain misi balas dendam. Apakah orang tuaku tidak mencariku? Aku tinggal bersama ayah dan kakakku, mereka tidak pernah menganggap aku ada. Mereka membenciku karena kelahiranku menyebabkan kematian ibuku. Semua ini akan aku selesaikan dengan tuntas tanpa ada satu pun yang terlewat.

In Westbush close there is few people, they all know each other and it has always been relatively quiet. However, a couple years ago everything changed, disappearances and sudden deaths started occurring.

A hard time followed, a lot of pain, guilty and hatred, until she came back as a complete different person, almost as a complete different being.

On the way to a dance competition, a massive truck rammed into me. My legs were shattered, and my mother was sent flying from the impact after she tried to protect me. My stepbrother, who was also my secret boyfriend of six years, went crazy after hearing the news. He had the driver dragged off to a lawless borderland and called in the best doctors in the country to save me and my mother. Not many people knew, but I was born with a rare sensitivity to pain. The more it hurt, the clearer my mind became. That was how I ended up lying wide awake on the bed, listening to Luke Quinton and his friend, Harvey Lane, talking just outside my hospital room. "Luke, are you sure about this? You really want to let Queenie practice on Natalie's mother's heart?" "She deserves it. That vile woman seduced my father and drove my mother to her death. If not for revenge, do you think I'd stomach being with her daughter for six years? "She should be honored that Queenie is dissecting her heart. Keep it from Natalie for now. If she loses it, she might ruin my wedding with Queenie. What would I do if that happened? The only woman I'll ever have as my wife is Queenie. No one will ever take her place." So, that was the truth. What I thought was a love strong enough to defy the world had been a lie from the very beginning—just a carefully crafted act of revenge.

Herbert Fischer lets his precious childhood sweetheart dump scalding stew all over me as everyone watches. Worse, he tells me to apologize, all because I said one harsh sentence to her. Tears stream down my face as I ask him, "Is my life worth less than a hair on her head?" He snorts. "Stop overthinking. It's just hot stew—you won't die from a few burns."
