Promise Any

He looks at me like he already knows the truth I’ve spent a lifetime hiding. Ethan Vance—lawman, predator, believer in a system I learned to outthink before I could drink wine. His eyes don’t burn with hate. They study, measure, almost… understand. They call him incorruptible. Maybe he is. But I’ve seen incorruptible men fall, not to money or power, but to fascination. The kind that crawls under your skin and makes you wonder if the person chasing you might be the only one who truly sees you. He hunts me by the book. I survive by rewriting it. But somewhere between the pursuit and the silence, between his questions and my lies, the line blurred. And now, I can’t decide which is more dangerous, losing to him, or wanting him to catch me. --- He isn’t what I expected. Luca Vitale walks into every room like he owns it, and maybe he does. Calm. Calculated. Dangerous in ways that don’t show up on a rap sheet. He should be just another target, another name I take down and file away. But there’s something about the way he looks at me. Like he already knows I’m not as untouchable as I pretend to be. I tell myself it’s strategy, curiosity, control. It’s not. It’s a problem. Because every time I think I’m closing in, I realise he’s already two steps ahead—and for the first time in my career, I’m not sure if I’m hunting him, or if he’s letting me try.

"Hentikan semua ini, Evan! Kamu nggak bisa membodohiku." Grace berdiri di depan Evan, mengulurkan tangannya ke kanan dan kiri. "Aku tahu kamu sembunyiin sesuatu." Evan menyilangkan tangan di depan dada. "Jangan terlalu percaya diri. Dan tolong, tahu posisimu. Aku punya kekuatan untuk taruh orang lain menggantikan kamu." Di dalam ruangan yang sedikit remang itu, ia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya dan berbisik ke telinganya. "Atau, sebenarnya kamu lagi coba merayu aku? Berapa tarifmu untuk satu malam?" Setelah mendengarnya, Grace menampar wajah Evan seketika itu juga. Ia terdiam beberapa saat tidak percaya. Air mata mulai mengalir di pipinya. "Kamu jahat banget, Evan. Aku-benci-kamu," katanya, patah hati. Dia berbalik dari pria itu tanpa basa-basi lagi. Evan menangis juga, melihat sahabatnya pergi. "Maafin aku, Grace. Aku harus lakuin itu. Kita nggak bisa bersama," katanya lemah. ~~~~ Grace dan Evan menjadi teman baik setelah dia menyelamatkannya dan ibunya setelah tabrakan lalu lintas. Persahabatan mereka tumbuh lebih kuat selama bertahun-tahun sampai mereka menjadi sangat menyukai satu sama lain. Namun, takdir mempermainkan mereka. Mereka harus berpisah selama bertahun-tahun, kehilangan kontak dan mengubur impian mereka. Ketika mereka akhirnya bersatu kembali di tempat kerja yang sama, semuanya tidak lagi sama seperti dulu.

I fall in love with my father's friend, an Alpha 20 years my senior. I'm only eight when I first meet him. It happens at a banquet for the upper echelons of the werewolf pack. My father brings me with him. Layson Romanov instantly catches my eye. He stands tall at six feet and two inches, and his toned figure shows through his black suit. He exudes a natural dominance. My father introduces me to him, and he caresses my hair with a smile. Then, he gives me a pink dress adorned with pearls and pink diamonds. "You'll look beautiful when you're old enough to wear this." Back then, I didn't understand what he meant. … Ten years later, I put on that dress and enter his room. He's drugged after falling into someone's trap, and his wolf is out of control. His usually calm eyes are filled with mania. I know that he'll go insane—even lose his life—if he doesn't have an antidote. So, I give him my pure, untainted body. I become his antidote. We later marry, and he loves me as my father would've done. However, when I'm four months pregnant, I discover that his personal secretary, Grace Parker, is also pregnant. "I'm sorry to have put you through this, Grace. Everyone knows I only married Charlotte out of duty. I'll make sure our child is my only heir," he says. It all makes sense now—no wonder Layson refused to mark me despite us being married. Grace is the one he loves. I'm heartbroken. I ingest a large amount of wolfsbane, leading to a miscarriage. I ultimately die of blood loss. Intense regret washes over me as I breathe my last breath. When I open my eyes again, I find that I've been reborn. I'm taken back to the day Layson is drugged…

I worked for a restaurant, and our boss loved making empty promises about giving us restaurant shares. The boss said we would start with zero shares, but we could earn 0.01% for every two hours of overtime, covering someone else’s work or saving the restaurant 1,000 bucks. I suggested she write this down in an official document and have someone track it properly. She just smiled and told everyone to work harder. She never actually put it in writing. The experienced staff did not believe her, but one prep cook took it seriously. At the end of the year, he went to the boss to claim his shares. The boss said, “Sorry, the head chef told me there’s no official document, so it doesn’t count. You can’t claim any shares.” The prep cook worked hard all year and got nothing for it, so he took his anger out on me. The day before I was going home for the New Year, he killed me with a knife. “If you hadn’t said it doesn’t count without an official document, this whole restaurant would’ve been mine!” I lay in a pool of blood. When I opened my eyes, I was back to the day the boss first made those empty promises.
