Sir Arthur Conan Doyle The Lost World Book

Elena tried to get out of his grip but he was too heavy for her. “I am married.” She screamed. “You are not, not anymore.” He spoke as he bit her neck to the extent that she felt as if he will snatch out her flesh. “Please, let me go.” “That husband of yours lost you on a bet. I am the winner, and you belong to me. Just me.” She knew what Aslan was saying was right. John had indeed lost her on a poker table as if she was nothing but another of his belongings just like his watch or an old table. She pushed his chest with all her might but failed. It was her end. In this world where women were progressing, she was traded off on a poker table. She smirked at her fate. She was nothing. Nothing, but a lost bet.

Demi menghilangkan kegelisahan sang ibu, Selena Brawijaya, gadis berusia 24 tahun yang merupakan seorang novelis, akhirnya menikah dengan seorang lelaki asing yang sama sekali tak dikenalnya. Lelaki berparas menawan yang memiliki karir gemilang sebagai seorang tentara. Yang sayangnya, ia memiliki trauma mendalam yang telah mengakar kuat dalam dirinya. Janji suci di depan penghulu pun seakan hanyalah ritual belaka, layaknya cangkang kosong tanpa isi. Lantas, apa yang akan dilakukan Selena dengan status ikatan suami-istri yang mereka miliki di saat ia memiliki keyakinan kuat bahwa apa pun yang terjadi dalam hidupnya bukanlah suatu kebetulan? Tak butuh waktu ribuan tahun bersama untuk menyadarinya. Karena di detik yang sama saat ia tahu dirinya tak lagi mampu menolak takdir yang telah ditetapkan untuk dirinya itu, ide cemerlang langsung muncul di benaknya. Sebagai seorang novelis yang telah memiliki ratusan juta pembaca di seluruh dunia, tentu ia tidak akan mau dirugikan baik secara mental maupun fisik karena pernikahan yang sama sekali tak ia inginkan ini. Dan menikah dengan seorang tentara yang kehidupannya syarat akan kedisiplinan dan kerja keras, mengangkat senjata menantang maut, bergerilya di rimbunnya hutan belantara bersantap ular, tentu akan memberinya gambaran utuh yang tak semua orang mengetahuinya. Ini adalah harta karun. Ide itulah yang membuatnya tak lagi menyuarakan protes tentang perjodohan mereka, alih-alih, gadis itu justru mengangguk mantap tanpa sedikit pun keraguan. Apa yang ia khawatirkan dengan pernikahan yang memiliki berlembar-lembar poin kesepakatan? Terlebih lagi, kesepakatan tentang tak akan saling menyentuh tanpa persetujuan. Dan dari yang ia lihat dari sosok menawan Arjuna, lelaki itu adalah lelaki sejati yang tak akan pernah melanggar janji yang telah disepakati. Di sisi lain, Arjuna sama sekali tak menyadari tentang akal bulus calon istrinya itu. Ia sama sekali tak pernah berpikir jika gadis bar-bar itu akan dengan begitu riang gembira mengikutinya ketika tengah menjalankan sebuah misi rahasia, dan tentu saja, tanpa sepengetahuannya.

On the first day of work, the company president said that I looked like his long-lost daughter and gave me a salary of 100 thousand dollars, on the condition that I ate together with his wife every weekend. Once my boyfriend heard this, he yelled at me in front of my colleagues, “How could you believe such a cheap lie?! It’s just an excuse for him to pay you for dirty favors! If your mother learned that you got yourself a sugar daddy after graduation, she’d jump off a building!” So, I rejected the president’s offer. Someone told the department manager that my boyfriend and I insulted the president, and he fired us. My boyfriend was really shocked by this. He stayed at my place and loafed around instead of working. When he no longer had any money left, he asked my mother for money. After that, he asked me to sell my organs. After I said no, he knocked me out with chloroform and sent me to an unlicensed clinic. The doctor there did not use the standard procedures, so I died from the pain. When I opened my eyes again, I returned to the day I met the president. This time, I shouted, “Sir, you look just like my father, even though we are not related at all!”

Ava had long been accustomed to the role of outcast. Taken in by a Lycan pack when she was just an infant in her mother's arms, she had always been.. different. Smaller. Weaker. More fragile, though only ever in the physical sense. Her spirit, on the other hand, was known for its fiery ferocity. Untamed. Unyielding. And unbroken, just like the ancient, powerful bloodline that most thought long destroyed. And yet it stirred, as those few who returned from the northwest brought whispered rumours with them. They told of a battle. An unexpected power. So many lives lost, and a dark new threat. But all of that was far away, and her home now faced its own problems. A pack merger. A cruel, ruthless new Alpha, who bowed to no one. Long held secrets uncovered, that threatened to upheave everything. And two formidable Lycans, both claiming Ava as their own.
