Play Hearts Vex

Pukul 12 Ting!!! "Apa kalian lupa? Hari ini adalah peluncuran perdana pejudian baru Zero O'clock. Let's Play With Me." Cora bangkit dari duduknya lalu ikut melangkah masuk ke lift. Ekspresi datarnya sangat susah dibaca. "Kau lihat? Orang yang selama ini lemah, sudah bangkit. Tugasku selesai," sahut Axel sambil bertepuk tangan. Dia kemudian melangkah mendekati ayahnya. "Lihat ayah, aku sudah menguatkan mental adik tersayangku."

Hearts Unchained is a slow-burn billionaire romance pulsing with emotional tension, deep healing, and a love worth breaking chains for.

I broke up with love. Swore I’d never fall again. Then my boss, Xander Blackwell, walked in with his sharp suits, colder eyes, and the kind of mouth that ruins all rules. We agreed: no feelings, just touch. Just heat. Just bodies. But somewhere between late-night calls and stolen glances, the line we drew started to blur. He says I’m just his assistant. But when he whispers "mine" it doesn’t feel like a lie. This wasn’t supposed to mean anything. So why does it feel like everything?

Immanuel is an assertive achiever, but during her last year as a junior student, she finds herself unmotivated. Other than that, she's a self-proclaimed fashionista. Then, there's Caius, a new transfer student who is her exact opposite. Studious and old-fashioned, Caius dons thick eyeglasses, neatly combed hair, and pimple patches all over his face. His attire consists of an oversized uniform, elephant-cut pants, and sturdy bulldog-patterned school shoes. What Imma wants, Imma gets. Even though she sees Caius as a typical nerd, everything changes when she suspects her best friend, Emma, might be dating someone.

Being the best is a requirement for me. When it comes to this, I am the best. Unlike others, I can move quickly. As for me, I'm quite robust. I have a high IQ. Many professional teams are interested in signing me because I am the starting goalkeeper for my high school's soccer squad. My teammates will follow my every order as long as I am captain. Girls urge me to add them to my list of s*x partners. To avoid my father's anger, I just need to make it to the professional league and play for the best team in the world. I am Williams Phanuel, and I have made sure that everything in existence is centered on me. I've got my eye on the new girl in class; it'll only be a matter of time until she succumbs to my charms. This one is more obstinate than others; she won't even give me her name. She has a sharp mind, too. Perhaps too witty for his own good. I simply cannot admit her. No one will get past me. Despite my lack of concern, I must admit that she is distracting me from my objective. Your father will not approve of that. Do I need to reiterate how much I adore the works of William Shakespeare? I'm aware of that. To put it simply, I am a paradox in human form. There are "some born great," "some who make great," and "those who have greatness thrust upon them," as Shakespeare put it. I managed to acquire all three! No one can ever hope to measure up to that.

My dad urgently requested that I bring Jeffrey back as he was rushed to the emergency room following a car accident. I nodded, holding back tears, but deep down, I knew Jeffrey harbored resentment toward me. He blamed me for his shattered relationship, my inherited wealth, and for coming between him and his first love. Nothing could deter him from pursuing her, not even me. "Evalyn, today is Melinda's birthday. Can you just be reasonable for once?" He spoke these words amidst the familiar sounds of laughter before abruptly ending the call. Moments later, my dad took his last breath, his eyes wide open in a final, stark gaze. As I fulfilled his last requests, organizing everything as he had instructed, I decided to let Jeffrey go. It was only then that he began to regret everything…
