Tau Empire

1. Meski rindu ini terus datang menyapa, aku masih berharap untuk bisa melepaskan rindu ini. Denganmu aku tahu, bahwa bahagia ternyata sesederhana ini Ah.. menghirup harum petrikor di tengah Musim hujan yang sejuk ini mengembalikanku akan kenangan tiga tahun lalu. Sudah selama itu tapi rasanya masih melekat dalam benakku. Gadis manis dengan surai coklat dan mata hazelnya menghantui pikiranku. Entah magic apa yang ia lakukan padaku aku tidak bisa berhenti memikirkannya. Tak tau berapa lama aku duduk di cafe Moidef, disebelah meja yang di atasnya terdapat 3 cangkir kosong yang tadinya berisi kopi pagi ini, kalau ada dia pasti dia akan memarahiku. Aku tersenyum mengingat itu. Tak ingin terlarut dalam angan, aku segera melihat jam di tangan ku yang telah menunjukkan angka tiga . Ah... jam tiga di musim hujan. Jam tiga. Aku dan dia. Di tengah sejuknya udara sehabis hujan turun. Tak ayal ingatanku kembali pada kilas masa lalu. Surabaya, 15 desember 2017 "Ayo tambahin kecepatannya dong...!" Teriak nya.

“Bumi ini nyaris musnah. Tapi, bukankah itu lebih baik?” ucap gadis muda dengan tatapan kosong. Beberapa kali ia mengumpat dan memukul kepalanya.

Saat itu, berpasang-pasang mata mungil menatap dengan penuh harap. Namun, gadis muda itu hanya bisa menyalahkan dirinya atas apa yang telah terjadi. Ia sadar, semua hal berharga dalam hidupnya sudah tidak ada. Ia sadar, bahwa apa yang ia lakukan bertahun-tahun lalu, akan berakhir seperti ini. Namun apa daya seorang gadis muda yang hanya ingin membuat semuanya baik-baik saja. Yang ia tau, di dalam lubuk hatinya hanya ada tekad untuk terus berjuang. Ya, inilah mimpi Liana, gadis muda itu.Cover edit by Canva, background by pexel.

He should have been satisfied. Lucas had dismantled the Montage Empire, reduced its legacy to ash. Arabella Montage had nothing left: no power, no family, no future. Just her name and a heartbeat he hadn’t yet taken. But when he saw her on that auction stage, trembling under harsh lights, something inside him shifted. She was being sold like livestock. A girl once untouchable, now displayed for the highest bidder. He was the architect of her ruin. And still... he bought her. She was the last remaining piece of the empire he had destroyed. And he needed to possess it. To possess her. To own the symbol of everything he had conquered. To fill the aching void that victory hadn't satisfied. She used to be a free bird.

Anything was acceptable, as long as her heart kept beating. To her, he’s just another powerful man playing God. But one thing becomes terrifyingly clear: Lucas will keep her heart beating, just so he can be the one to crush it. Again and again
