Ripple Leather Vs Smooth Leather

Setelah sahabatku, Melinda Bosna, membuktikan bahwa pacarku yang ke-20 adalah seorang bajingan, aku akhirnya setuju untuk dijodohkan dan akhirnya menikah dengan seorang anak orang kaya, Aldi Noran. Kemudian saat menghadiri pesta seorang teman, Melinda memberikan kue yang sudah setengah dia makan ke depan Aldi sambil berkata, "Kak Aldi, kue ini terlalu manis buatku. Kakak bisa membantuku memakannya?" Setelah kuhentikan, alih-alih merasa salah, Melinda justru berkata dengan santai, "Kenapa kamu ribut-ribut begini? Aku cuma lagi mengetes sifat suamimu!" "Kita 'kan sudah bersahabat selama belasan tahun! Kamu nggak mungkin berpikir aku naksir suamimu, 'kan?" Aku yang dulu pasti percaya. Sayangnya, aku ini terlahir kembali. Aku balas mengambil kue di atas meja dan menempelkannya ke wajahnya. "Memangnya kamu siapa, hah? Sampai-sampai kamu berhak menguji sifat orang lain!" "Kamu itu cuma putri sopirku! Ngapain juga kamu sok jadi sosialita!" "Aku tahu kamu bukan cuma tertarik pada suamiku, tapi kamu juga sudah mencari cara untuk tidur dengannya!"

"What is this?!" Avery's voice trembled with rage, her fists clenched as she stared at the people who betrayed her. "You're marrying me off to some old man?" she spat. Her mother flinched.

I stepped closer. Close enough to smell his cologne—cedarwood, leather, and power. My hand moved. Smooth, practiced. The pistol slide from under the apron into my palm. I raised it fast. But before I could pull the trigger— BANG. Not my shot. A scream tore through the restaurant as another man launched himself toward Romano’s table, blade flashing. Another assassin. What the hell— Romano didn’t flinch. He shoved the table forward, knocking the attacker off balance. The blade scraped across wood, not skin. I ducked instinctively as the room erupted into chaos. Gunfire cracked. Glass exploded. People screamed and dove for cover. “Get him out—NOW!” one of the guards barked. I aimed for the second attacker. Didn’t even hesitate. One shot—head. Gone. The guard saw me. Confusion flashed in his eyes. Then rage. I ran. I weaved between overturned chairs, plates, and screaming bodies. The smell of blood was real now, thick in the air. One of the guards grabbed me. I slammed my elbow into his ribs, twisted, and brought the butt of my gun down on his skull. He dropped like a sack of bricks. Out. I had to get out. My boots pounded the floor as I tore through the narrow hallway. But then— “Elisa.” His voice stopped me cold. I turned. Antonio Romano stood in the middle of the carnage, suit untouched, blood spattered behind him like art. His eyes were on me. And he was smiling. It was darker. Slower. Like a hunter seeing something worth chasing. Somehow, he knew who I was. “Interesting,” he said softly, tilting his head. “They sent you.” I didn’t answer. I ran. But that voice followed me. He knew my name. And he let me go. This wasn’t over. It had just begun.

"I’ve thought it through. I'll marry the Ashford family’s comatose heir." Rhea Vaughn leaned against the doorway of the Vaughn family’s old residence, her red lips curving into a sharp, mocking smile. The cigar in Victor Vaughn’s hand nearly slipped and fell onto the priceless Persian carpet. He jerked upright from his leather chair, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes stretching open as his face lit up. "Rhea, you’ve come around? That’s wonderful! The Ashfords have been pressing hard. You’ll need to marry into Harborwyn within two weeks. What style of wedding dress do you like? I will have someone order it for you—" "That’s it?" Rhea let out a cold laugh. "I’m taking your beloved illegitimate daughter’s place and marrying into that family for you, and you’re not going to show anything in return?"
