Saints Row Aisha

For her whole life, Lyra Suarez had been a good girl. That one girl who was too sweet, too nice, too helpful, too kind, too easy to manipulate, too easy to use, too easy to destroy. Being too pure and too caring sometimes has its bad side. And she knew that too well. At twenty-three, she was busy working her life away just to protect herself and keep her distance from her biological father, who never even claimed her.   With just one laced drink, her trust in her only aunt disappeared. Everybody seemed to see her as a beautiful ticket to a fortune. She was sold to a filthy old man.   While her poor soul cried for help, calling all the saints never seemed to work. And as her last prayer, in her most desperate state, she called for him... the Devil.   Because a deal with the Devil is always better than living in hell. And sometimes, the Devil is not the one to fear.

"Mommy, you have to be the first person to come pick me up, okay?" These are my daughter Dorothy Grant's final words to me when she walked me out of the house this morning. But when I stand at the kindergarten's entrance with a box of Dorothy's favorite strawberry shortcake in my hands, the security guard just stares at me as though I lost my mind. "Ma'am, this place might be where Sunflower Kindergarten is located, but it has already closed its doors for three years. This place is now a retirement home." I rush into the "kindergarten" instantly. The spot where the slide used to be is now replaced by a row of flowerbeds. The room that used to be the classroom now hosts a bunch of elderly people, who bask in the sunlight. With trembling hands, I call my husband, Chester Grant, on the phone. He sounds very exasperated and exhausted over the phone. "Honey, we've been married for five years, and we choose to be childless. You've never given birth before."

Colin is the alpha of one of the strongest packs on the continent. His pack is strong and independent. He knows his mate is out there somewhere. But he is patent, he knows he will find her. Adina has more secrets than most. Her life is a long row of moves between different packs, covens and even nests. Then there is the never-ending list of responsibilities that fall upon her. She was hoping that her best and only friend and bodyguard, Sean, would end up being her mate. Who else would be able to handle her life? But no such luck. Sean is the bodyguard that never leaves Adina's side. He has rarely done so since they first meet when he was fourteen. And although they are each other's one constant in life, he carries two secrets he has sworn never to reveal to her. When mate bonds are discovered, treason is unearthed and friendships are put to the test. These three will have to find a new way of living and trust each other and their allies. Or the magical community will be thrown into chaos.

Today is my birthday. But my wife, Talia Ford, tells me that she can't spend time with me today. She needs to accompany her uncle, Adam Ford, to his physical checkup. I'm about to convince Talia to stay with me when a row of comments suddenly pop up in front of my eyes. "Stop wasting your breath. Just let her go. "In your previous life, Talia insisted on keeping her uncle company, so you could only return to your research lab to work. But you predicted that the dead volcano located next to Bareyard Village would erupt tonight. So, you forcibly stopped Talia and made her go back to the village to save her grandpa. "But when her uncle went for the physical checkup on his own, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Engulfed by despair, he took his own life by jumping off the hospital. "After he died, Talia pinned the blame on you. She bought some potent rat poison and poisoned your food, thus killing you."

Elena Jones and I became orphans on the same day. Her parents are killed in a mass murder, and my father—the killer—is executed on the spot. For a month straight, Harborfield's most notorious playboy waits outside the courthouse, intent on keeping Elena. However, she throws his black card right back at him, like a headstrong heroine straight out of a movie. "The Mr. Carter I admire is refined and noble. How could he have a nephew like you? I'd rather starve than accept anything from a thug." He lets out a sharp, amused laugh and crooks a finger at me. "A death row convict's daughter and a thug make a fitting pair. I'll back you. Are you willing?" While clutching the ten-million-dollar IOU my father left behind, I nod without hesitation. Later, he orders me to get into his uncle Daniel Carter's bed. "With all that sin on your shoulders, you're an even better match for him. That way, Elena will finally give up on him for good."

"Ini yang kau nak kan! Puas hati kau sekarang?" - KHAIRUL ADAM Tanpa sedar, ayat itu menusuk ke benak hati yang paling dalam buat Imna Safira. Bukan itu yang dia mahukan dan bukan itu juga yang dia pinta. "Aku undurkan diri dari hubungan ni, bukan untuk kau tindas aku bertubi-tubi!" - IMNA SAFIRA. Namun semuanya sudah terlambat.

In the fashion industry, I was known as the most mysterious designer. I worked hard to keep my identity from the public. As I stood at the top of business, I was invited to be the secret judge of the Innovating Design Competition’s final round. The organizer reserved a VIP seat for me in the middle of the front row and ensured that my presence would not be revealed. Just when I was about to sit down, a new male influencer pushed me aside and threw his hand bag onto my seat. “What are you looking at, bumpkin? How dare you show up at the VIP section dressed like a beggar? Where’s the security? Throw this person out!” I swallowed back my anger and replied coldly, “This seat was reserved for me.” The influencer laughed. “Yours? Do you know who I am? Ms. Reid spent eighty million dollars in sponsorship to get me to come here! Ms. Reid has the final say in this industry. Do you understand me?” I could only scoff at him. How bold of the Reid family! Did they really think they could make this kind of decision without consulting me?

Sebagai kepala keluarga kriminal Valenti, yang dikenal seantero kota sebagai "Il Macellaio" Atlas Valenti adalah sosok yang ditakuti dan dihormati, dengan pikiran strategis yang cemerlang dan rasa keadilan yang tanpa ampun. Tapi di balik wajah yang bersudut tajam dan tatapan mata hijau yang dingin, tersembunyi luka dalam yang tak pernah sembuh. Pada usia tujuh tahun, dia menyaksikan ibunya terbunuh saat melindunginya dari musuh keluarga. Pada usia 29, dia menemukan cinta sejati dalam diri Luna Moretti, wanita yang mampu menghancurkan tembok emosional yang dia bangun selama bertahun-tahun. Mereka diatur untuk menikah guna menyatukan dua keluarga mafia terkuat di kota: Valenti dengan kekuasaan mereka di bidang real estat dan hubungan internasional, serta Moretti dengan kendali mereka atas pelabuhan dan koneksi politik. Namun Atlas jatuh cinta bukan karena kesepakatan melainkan karena kehangatan dan kebaikan yang hanya Luna bisa berikan padanya. Malam sebelum dia berencana untuk melamarnya dengan cincin keluarga kuno, nasib memutar balik, Aisha, saudara perempuan Luna, mengemudi dalam keadaan mabuk dan menyebabkan kecelakaan yang menewaskan calon istrinya. Didesak oleh ayahnya Marcello Valenti dan tuntutan aliansi yang tak dapat dibatalkan, Atlas terpaksa menikahi Aisha, pengantin pengganti yang menjadi sumber kebencian membara baginya. Setiap hari, dia harus menghadapi wanita yang telah mencuri masa depannya, menggunakan kata-kata dan pengabaian sebagai senjata dalam perang psikologis yang dia lakukan. Sementara itu, dia terus menjaga ingatan Luna hidup dengan cara-cara kecil: mengirim bunga lili putih ke makamnya setiap minggu, menyimpan buku agenda dan cincin pertunangan yang tak terpakai di laci mejanya, dan menghindari setiap tempat yang pernah mereka kunjungi bersama. Namun, ketika ancaman dari keluarga saingan mulai mengintai dan kedudukan keluarga Valenti terancam, Atlas harus menghadapi pilihan yang sulit: apakah dia akan terus terjebak dalam kesedihan dan kebencian yang menghancurkan dirinya, ataukah dia akan menemukan cara untuk melepaskan masa lalu dan melindungi apa yang tersisa?

In the tenth year of my diagnosis with selective mutism, my mother decided it was time to bring home a little brother for me from an orphanage. Her eyes immediately landed on a boy in the back row, but the head of the orphanage opposed without hesitation. "Ms. Lane, this kid has been nothing but trouble since he was small. Just two days ago, he made an old man on crutches play goalie. If you take him home, your life will never be peaceful!" I looked on without the slightest interest. My mother, however, was exhilarated. Pointing at the boy, she declared excitedly, "Then, he's exactly the one I want!" And suddenly, lines of bullet comments scrolled before me. 'The mom cracks me up. Her eyes practically sparkled like spotlights.' 'Our brooding female lead grew up friendless. Her mom's been worrying about that for years. Now she's found this rascal, there's no way she's letting go.' 'Honestly, fate is wild. The mom instantly picks her future son-in-law. In their past lives, the female lead died trying to save him. Now that they've both been reborn, maybe they'll finally get a second chance together.'
