The Inheritance Nora Roberts

Suami yang telah menikah denganku selama lima tahun, ternyata adalah pewaris keluarga mafia, Keluarga Leis yang selama ini terasing. Di hari dia dijemput kembali oleh keluarganya, dia menggandeng Justin, putra kami dan Vinnie, cinta pertamanya menuju mobil mewah seharga miliaran. Sambil mengerutkan kening, dia berkata padaku, “Sofia, aku hanya persiapkan untuk membawa Vinnie dan Justin. Kamu tunggu di sini dulu. Tunggu posisiku stabil di Keluarga Leis, baru akan datang menjemputmu.” Aku mengangguk dengan tenang dan menuruti pengaturannya tanpa komentar. Karena aku tahu meski memaksakan diri untuk mengikutinya, pasti tidak akan berakhir dengan baik. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, aku menangis dan meronta-ronta untuk ikut dengannya. Roy yang merasa terpaksa, akhirnya membawaku pulang ke kediaman Keluarga Leis. Namun, kebahagiaan itu hanya bertahan sebentar. Vinnie menjebakku dengan tuduhan bahwa aku membocorkan rahasia Keluarga Leis. Berdasarkan aturan keluarga, aku pun dijatuhi hukuman mati. saat putusan dibacakan, Justin berteriak dengan mata berkaca-kaca, “Aku benci denganmu! Kalau saja kamu nggak memaksa untuk ikut pulang, aku nggak akan punya ibu pengkhianat dan sudah punya ibu yang lebih baik sejak awal!” Seketika, hatiku benar-benar hancur. Kini, setelah terlahir kembali ke masa sebelum suamiku dijemput keluarganya, aku memutuskan untuk melepaskannya. Aku tidak akan lagi menjadi penghalang bagi kebahagiaan sepasang ayah dan anak itu.

Devan Atmadja, pria yang katanya mencintaiku sepenuh hati. Di mata orang lain, dia adalah suami teladan… pria idaman. Namun, dia telah mengkhianatiku tiga kali. Pertama kali, tiga tahun lalu. Sahabatnya, Dion Prasetya, meninggal demi menyelamatkannya. Devan menyembunyikan semuanya dariku, lalu diam-diam menikah dengan pacar Dion, Keira Maheswari. Hatiku saat itu hancur. Aku sudah bersiap pergi. Namun, malam itu juga, dia mengirim wanita itu ke luar negeri, lalu berlutut di hadapanku, memohon dengan penuh kesedihan. “Viona… Dion mati demi aku. Aku harus menjaga istrinya. Surat nikah itu hanya jaminan untuk Keira. Setelah membalaskan dendam Dion, aku akan menceraikannya. Satu-satunya wanita yang kucintai… hanya kamu!” Dan bodohnya… aku memaafkannya. Setahun kemudian, Devan justru mengumumkan status Keira sebagai nyonya besar keluarga di depan semua media. Dia kembali memberiku penjelasan. “Keira adalah putri tunggal Keluarga mafia Maheswari. Pernikahan ini adalah bentuk aliansi demi membalas dendam untuk Dion! Kami sudah sepakat, setelah semua selesai, aku akan menceraikannya… lalu menikahimu!” Lagi-lagi aku percaya padanya. Kemudian setahun lalu, di sebuah pesta, Devan dijebak dan menghabiskan malam bersama Keira. Dia menutupinya dariku. Sampai dua minggu lalu, ketika aku melihatnya sendiri, dia menemani wanita itu melakukan pemeriksaan kehamilan di rumah sakit. Dengan tatapan yang tak sanggup bertemu denganku, dia berbisik, “Viona, ini cuma kecelakaan. Setelah dia melahirkan, aku akan mengirimnya pergi. Anaknya akan diasuh orang tuaku, dan seumur hidup mereka tak akan pernah muncul di hadapanmu.” Dengan dalih cinta, Devan membuatku terus mengalah. Tapi hari ini… aku sadar. Tak ada lagi masa depan untuk kami. Sudah saatnya… aku pergi.

"I just want to ask you one question before you walk away Hailey. How loud do you think you'll scream when I fuck you”? My name is Hailey King, and I’m living a lie. I’ve hidden the truth from everyone including my own brothers just to keep what I do and who I really am a secret. It’s not that I want to lie, it's just that I don't have a choice. I thought I was holding it all together, thought I was strong until I saw Jayden Knight last New Year’s Eve. He stripped me bare—emotionally and physically. Jayden is everything I want but everything I know I can’t have. We’ve known each other most of our lives, but I’ve kept my distance since I turned eighteen, because I knew deep down he was dangerous to my carefully built façade. And I was right. After that night we spent together, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about him or how completely he ignited something in me I didn’t know still existed. Now, I crave Jayden like he’s a drug I can’t quit… and that one unforgettable night still haunts me. But I'm in for a surprise the next morning.

Alex begins to break his well built wall of defenses and discipline while Zina’s love for him begins to grow. But he is her stepfather, and what they have is forbidden.

I am a postgraduate archaeology student whose fieldwork combines GIS technology with excavation, and during one project I become entangled in a concealed emotional relationship with two lecturers. Linus is restrained, intellectually rigorous, and emotionally distant, offering a sense of order and safety rooted in academic discipline, while Theo is charismatic, passionate, and ethically unstable, drawing me into intensity and risk. What begins as professional admiration develops into intimacy shaped by secrecy, hierarchy, and blurred boundaries. As the excavation exposes layered traces of past lives, I am forced to confront my own desire, ambition, and guilt, and the story ultimately centres not on choosing between two men, but on learning how to live with complexity and accept the consequences of crossing lines.

Five years ago, Selena suffered a miscarriage and was told that having children would be impossible naturally. She trusted the diagnosis. She agreed to a surrogate. She raised a child she believed wasn’t hers. Until a medical summit in Geneva exposes altered lab results—and her husband’s signature authorizing the change. As she digs deeper with the one doctor who once tried to expose the fraud, Selena uncovers a devastating truth: her infertility was fabricated. Her hormones were manipulated. And the child she’s been raising? Interestingly, the child was hers. Marcus didn’t just lie. He took her egg without asking, made a child in secret, and built an empire on the same experimental protocol that ruined her pregnancy. Now pregnant again, Selena files for divorce, starting a custody war, a corporate investigation, and a public reckoning that could destroy everything Marcus built. He wanted control. She wants the truth. Only one of them will walk away with the empire.
