The Brightest Star In The Universe

After my father passes away, my mother—now married into the wealthy Hawthorne family—brings me to live with them. Everyone laughs, saying I'm being groomed to become either of the Hawthorne brothers' bride. Even I start to believe it. But later, when I try to marry one of them, both reject me. The older brother says, "I'll need to marry for business one day. Why would I marry her?" The younger one scoffs. "She's older than me. Who'd want an old woman?" But the very next day, the two of them propose—together—to my assistant. I instantly become a joke. After that, I call my mother. "Mom, I'm willing to marry into the Grant family."

It was my 30th birthday, and my husband said he had a surprise for me. However, on the day of my birthday, he was nowhere to be found. I called him countless times, but no one answered. Just as I was about to panic and consider calling the police, I happened to see a post on the social media feed of his female secretary. “A typhoon hit, and my boss was worried about my safety, so he personally took me home. How wonderful! I’ve got a guardian angel for myself!” My anxiety turned to cold calm in an instant. I commented on her post: “Traveling during a typhoon is dangerous. Tell him he doesn’t need to come back.” Not long after I posted the comment, my husband called. “Kelly, I was only concerned about the safety of my subordinate, and yet you’re thinking such vile thoughts. “Birthdays come every year. Missing one won’t kill you!” You were right. Birthdays came every year. But there was no way I would celebrate them with you.

After Chester Caldwell loses his vision, I donate my corneas to him without hesitation. He vows that he'll never let me down, yet he delays our wedding time and time again after his true love suddenly returns to the country. On the day of my birthday, his gift arrives, albeit late. I accept it expectantly only to find that they're two movie tickets. I question him about it, but he answers impatiently, "Who said anything about the blind being unable to watch movies? "You willingly gave up your vision back then—I didn't force you into anything! Stop thinking you can hold that against me forever!" His true love makes it sound like she's being charitable. "Sorry, Riley. The movie wasn't to my liking. You can throw the tickets away if you're not going to watch it, either!" I rip the tickets in half and leave. Later, I hear that Chester goes mad when he can no longer find his bride.

Ailisha memutuskan untuk kembali mengikuti audisi bintang Kpop yang sedang diselenggarakan oleh beberapa agensi besar di sana. Sudah cukup lama ia tak kembali berkompetisi seperti itu. Terakhir kali Ailisha mengikuti audisi adalah ketika dirinya masih duduk di kelas 2 SMA, sementara saat ini statusnya sudah menjadi mahasiswa seni musik di salah satu kampus swasta yang ada di Indonesia. Itu sudah lama sekali sejak ia mencoba peruntungannya yang terakhir. Sudah bisa ditebak jika gadis itu tak pernah lolos audisi sama sekali. Karena kalian masih bisa mendapatinya di Indonesia. Tanpa sengaja Ailisha mendengar kabar jika ada agensi baru yang namanya sudah cukup popular saat ini. Rumor mengatakan jika agensi itu milik dari seorang pria non Korea. Meski baru berdiri, agensi ini sudah cukup kuat untuk menyaingi agensi besar lainnya yang tak kalah hebat. Sampai saat ini belum ada satupun media yang merilis profil pemilik serta pengelola agensi tersebut. Ailisha berusaha untuk memberanikan dirinya sendiri. Pada akhirnya ia kembali mencoba peruntungannya di agensi lain. SAN Entertainment adalah salah satu dari sekian banyak agensi yang coba ia lamar. Kali ini dewi fortuna sedang berpihak kepadanya dan membiarkannya lolos hingga ke tahap akhir. Awalnya ia sempat keliru, karena sejauh yang ia ingat sampai saat ini adalah dirinya melamar posisi penari. Namun pada saat proses wawancara berlangsung, kotak keterangan yang berada di formulir menunjukkan jika dirinya terpilih sebagai seorang penulis lirik. Rasa kecewa wajar timbul pada saat itu, namun tak berlangsung lama karena Ailisha adalah tipe orang yang cepat melupakan. Ia memilih untuk tak ambil pusing soal hal itu. Yang terpenting baginya saat ini adalah karirnya. Hingga dirinya terjebak pada satu situasi yang tak pernah bisa ia lupakan sedetikpun kejadiannya. Semua rasa penasarannya saat ini terjawab sudah tanpa sengaja. Pusaran waktu membawanya kembali pada pria itu. Tak ada yang pernah menduga jika hal ini akan terjadi.

He desires to be close, in a way that she will never remember what distance is.

I stared down at the contract, a wave of defiance bubbling up in me. I turned back to him, meeting his gaze head-on. "I never asked for your help," I said, "I would've found a way to save my mother on my own. You may think you own me, but I'd rather die than marry you." A slow smile crept across his face, a smug, knowing look that sent a chill down my spine. He knew exactly what I was thinking, as if my resistance only entertained him. "Look at me," he commanded. I reluctantly turned back, locking eyes with him. His face had shifted, his expression darkened, and for the first time, true fury was etched in his eyes. "I’ll count to ten," he said, "If that contract isn’t signed by the time I reach ten, I’ll make the same call I made to pay those bills. Only this time, the instructions will be different. Your mother... your sister…they’ll both be gone." He took a breath, settling back as if the threat were a mere matter of routine. "So… ONE!!" I swallowed hard, my heartbeat pounding in my ears. Could he be bluffing? No, I'd seen him kill before, seen how casually he turned life and death into sports. "FOUR," he counted. My hands started to shake. What could I do? If I signed, I'd be bound to him forever, trapped as his wife. But if I didn’t... my mother and sister’s lives hung in the balance. "SEVEN." I closed my eyes, fighting the panic rising in my chest. He wouldn’t do it, I told myself. He couldn’t be that monstrous. But even as I thought it, the doubt crept in. I wasn’t sure. Then, he hit "TEN" himself

I have to escape his gilded cage before he finds out my alt identity. Each of our battles ignites a deadly game of power and lust. As secrets unravel and Adrian’s enemies close in, I find myself faced with the ultimate dilemma: Will I fight for my freedom, or will the king I hate become the one man I cannot live without? ***** “You think you can outrun me, Elena? You're wearing my ring on your finger.” I don’t flinch, meeting his gaze with defiance. “So what? I don’t belong to you.” He leans in, his lips brushing against my neck, sending a shiver down my spine. “You don’t, yet. But I can make you. Do you want that?" I swallow hard, my pulse racing. “Don’t flatter yourself.” Adrian chuckles darkly, his hand lingering on my waist. “Trust me, I’m not the one who needs to be flattered.” ***** # Dark Mafia Romance #18+ #Hacker Female Lead and Italian Mafia Lord # Touch her you die #Marriage contract # He falls first #Fast Paced #Strong FL and ML #A Not so cute Pet (Oh he is cute.
