Sejarah Dim Sum

Dunia lain? Kebanyakan orang tidak akan percaya dengan keberadaannya. Nalar manusia selalu menolak hal yang tidak wajar di mata mereka. Akan tetapi dibalik itu semua, akan selalu ada kenyataan di luar nalar yang diketahui hanya oleh beberapa manusia yang ada di dunia. Apakah kamu bisa mempercayai apa yang belum kamu lihat? Disamping itu, kemanakah para korban yang selalu menghilang setiap 20 tahun sekali? Tapi, sebenarnya hal itu tidak benar. Karena, setiap 20 tahun sekali selalu saja ada kasus orang menghilang secara misterius. Rata-rata orang yang menghilang berjumlah 7-8 orang. Dan para korban menghilang di waktu yang sama. Maka, orang-orang menamai insiden ini adalah ‘lost people’. 32 siswa telah masuk ke dunia lain, atau orang bumi bilang itu adalah 'lost people'. Mereka semua dianggap sebagai pahlawan, apa yang terjadi disana nanti?

Aku adalah seorang anak yang berasal dari kampung kumuh yang jatuh cinta pada Damon Vindaya, bos mafia yang paling ditakuti di Kota Yana. Selama lima tahun, aku adalah miliknya. Aku menahan sembilan peluru demi dia. Dia akan mencium bekas lukaku saat aku berdarah dan hampir mati untuknya, memelukku erat, dan mengalungkan kalung ratu di leherku. Kemudian, begitu aku pulih, dia akan meniduriku sampai aku kehilangan kesadaran, dengan gairah yang terasa seolah-olah tak akan pernah berakhir. Aku pikir kami akan menghabiskan hidup bersama. Aku pikir dia akan menikahiku. Namun, pada malam kebersamaan kami yang ke-999, dia mengatakan bahwa dia telah bertunangan dengan Bianca, seorang putri mafia dari keluarga rival. Aku menahan air mataku. Dia hanya mencengkeram daguku, mengembuskan asap rokok ke wajahku, lalu tertawa. "Kamu nggak benar-benar berpikir bisa menikah denganku, 'kan, Nora? Mari kita luruskan saja. Kamu itu cuma kuanggap sebagai alat pemuas nafsuku saja, bukan pasangan. Kamu adalah karya seni yang aku koleksi, hewan peliharaan yang aku miliki." Hewan peliharaan. Itu saja yang pernah dia inginkan dariku. Sebagai gantinya, aku pun mengambil ponsel sekali pakai dan mengirim pesan. [ Aku terima tawaranmu. Tiga hari. Keluarkan aku dari Kota Yana. ]

O marido, Valentino Mesquita, tinha reservado todo o cuidado, toda a proteção e toda a presença para o grande amor do passado dele, enquanto cobrava de Lyra, o tempo todo, que ela fosse madura, sensata e independente. Na frente de todo mundo, ela virou a mesa: — Divórcio! Em cinco anos, pra mim já deu! Ele apenas riu com frieza: — Como é que você também acabou ficando assim, tão vulgar?

Dr. Hayes cleared his throat, glancing at the screen.“The child’s DNA… it matches yours.” She froze. “No… no, that’s impossible. I’m just his nanny.” Ten years ago, Bree Washington carried a child for a wealthy, anonymous couple. She was paid, promised secrecy, and told never to return after the child's birth. But life happened, putting her in a broken place... causing her to search for any means of survival. Alas, Bree gets a job as a nanny for a billionaire’s young son. The boy is sharp, stubborn, and oddly familiar. The man who hired her is cold, commanding, and haunted by loss. His wife is gone, and he needs someone he can trust to guide his child… someone who understands him in ways no one else can. Bree thought her past was behind her. She thought being a nanny would create her a new life.. But some mistakes never fade… And some secrets refuse to stay buried. Love doesn't cost a dime, but in Bree's case? Love indeed would cost her every part of her life due to her billionaire mistake.

Mexico gave her sun, tequila, and a man who kissed like a secret. L.A. gave her his twin-and a migraine. Jannah Cole wasn't supposed to fall for anyone on vacation. But then Ethan Hunt happened-dark eyes, cryptic smirks, and the kind of kiss that makes your brain short-circuit. He vanished before sunrise, and she told herself it was a one-time thing. Until she walked back into work and saw him again. Same jawline. Same voice. Same tattoo. Totally different name. Now he's Aaron Steele, her very polished CEO, and apparently? He's never seen her before in his life. Then there's Clinton Steele-his charming twin and self-declared Mexico mystery man. Sweet, attentive, and just confusing enough to make her question everything. After all, how many brooding, emotionally unavailable doppelgängers can one girl trip over in a single summer? And the real question: What if she didn't mistake one brother for the other? What if she didn't mistake anything at all? Two brothers. One ghost of a kiss. And a truth wrapped in too many lies to count.

Vincenzo doesn't forgive. He doesn't forget. And he never, ever loses. When you spill Mancini blood, payment comes due—with interest. Stacy Salvatore should have been an easy target. The daughter of the man who slaughtered his mother and tried to burn his family empire to ash. His perfect revenge, gift-wrapped and delivered to his doorstep. He had it all planned out: take everything from her, break her spirit, and kill her. What he didn't plan for was her backbone of steel and eyes that burn with the same ruthless determination as his own. She's no cowering captive. She's a storm wrapped in human skin, fighting him with every breath, challenging the code he's lived by since childhood. With each clash between them, the lines blur. Enemy. Obsession. Addiction. Her defiance becomes the only thing that makes him feel alive, and the vengeance he's chased for years might just start tasting like ash in his mouth. But blood debt must be paid. In full.
