Tim Paige Audiobook

Aku dan Andrew, pacarku yang seorang dokter bedah sudah berpacaran selama tujuh tahun. Kami bahkan pernah mengadakan 66 kali pernikahan, tapi setiap kali Andrew selalu membatalkannya karena Selena. Pertama kali, Selena salah menyuntikkan obat ke pasien. Andrew menyuruhku menunggunya dan aku pun menunggunya seharian penuh. Kedua kalinya, Selena terpeleset saat mandi. Saat itu kami sudah siap bertukar cincin, tapi Andrew langsung pergi tanpa berpikir panjang, meninggalkanku begitu saja di depan para tamu yang menertawakanku. Begitulah seterusnya. Aku terus mengadakan 65 kali pernikahan dan setiap kali Selena selalu punya alasan untuk memanggil Andrew pergi. Di pernikahan ke-65, Selena bilang anjingnya sakit parah dan dia juga ingin bunuh diri dengan melompat dari gedung. Penyakit jantung ibuku sampai kambuh sangking marahnya, tapi tetap saja kami tak bisa menahan Andrew. Setelah itu, Andrew berlutut memohon agar keluargaku memaafkannya. Dia bilang dirinya hanya merasa kasihan pada Selena yang seorang yatim piatu dan akulah satu-satunya orang yang paling dia cintai. Aku memberinya kesempatan terakhir, tapi dia kembali mengecewakanku. Akhirnya, aku benar-benar menyerah. Aku memilih berpisah dengan Andrew dan bergabung dengan tim dokter lintas batas internasional. Mulai sekarang, kami pun tidak perlu bertemu lagi.

“Paige Miller. Stay here for a bit.” He said when my foot was already out the door. I swallowed hard and looked at Darla who just shrugged and closed the door. I was alone with the hot Callan Montgomery Holden. “So, Paige. I thought you were a bartender.” “And I thought you were just a rich asshole kissing girls all day. Never would've peg you for a CEO, boss.” “Hmm. You're funny. I like you.” “Please don't.” I said and he chuckled again. He bit his lower lip, and I could feel myself wanting to hump him right there on his swiveling chair. “You're thinking the same thing I am, right?” “That I should report you to HR for sexual harassment?” “Ha! Good one. But no. I know you want me too. Right here right now. I can feel you getting hot and wet.” “From the way you kissed me, last night? Sorry, but no. Besides, I'm married.” I lied. I realized I was being stupid and reckless when I remembered it was very specific in the job listing that I had to be single with no kids. “Okay, look. I'm not married, but I'm not interested either. I can't afford to be your next plaything. I need this job to save enough money to start my own small business and not work for anyone ever again. So, please. I know you're probably a great guy, but I'm just not interested. So, if there's nothing else you need professionally, good day, Mr. Holden.” “Sure. But they always say that at first. You'll come around.” If I didn’t have a daughter to think of, I'd have made you come in my mouth already you rich spoiled brat!" I wanted to say, but of course absolutely couldn't.

Seorang pria dingin dan kaku yang bahkan tidak pernah menunjukkan kehangatan sedikitpun padanya. Xaviera semakin frustasi karena nilai matematikanya yang selalu di bawah rata-rata justru membuat ia harus lebih sering berinteraksi dengan calon suaminya itu. Di tengah keresahannya menghadapi perjodohan, muncul sosok Felix - kapten tim basket sekolah yang tampan dan pintar. Kedekatan mereka sebagai teman sekelas perlahan mulai menumbuhkan perasaan lain di hati Xaviera.

Sementara Ian, meski akan menjadi suaminya, tetap memperlakukannya dengan dingin bahkan di sekolah. Akankah Xaviera memberontak demi cintanya pada Felix? Atau dia akan pasrah menerima takdirnya menikah dengan Ian? Bagaimana ia mengatasi perasaannya yang semakin rumit seiring berjalannya waktu?

"Kamu mencintainya Mas?" Suamiku mengangguk ragu. Hatiku sakit, ia pasti tahu itu. ia memegangiku erat seolah ingin aku kuat untuk mengerti. ia terus memegangi tanganku erat tidak ingin aku pergi. Bangsat kamu, Mas! Kamu kira terbuat dari apa hatiku? Dari karet? Bisa kau kunyah lalu kau bentuk jadi bola kemudian kamu kunyah lagi? Enak saja! “Bagaimana jika aku tidak menerima keputusanmu untuk membuka hati untuk wanita lain?” tanyaku pilu namun mungkin lelaki di depanku sudah terlanjur berambisi. “Aku ingin kamu tenang dulu, Sayangku. Dia tidak akan mengubah apapun tentang hidup kita terutama rasa cintaku padamu. Cuih, ingin muntah aku melihat bola matanya yang berkaca-kaca penuh harapan. “Ibuku juga sangat menyupport keputusanku ini, Jane. Ia malah tidak akan membiarkan kami mengadakan resepsi pernikahan jika kamu tidak ikut berpartisipasi dalam pesta itu. aku akan pastikan bahwa gaun dan perhiasan yang kau pakai akan jauh lebih mahal darinya. “Tunggu.. tunggu.. jadi kamu mengatakan semuan ini buka karena ingin meminta ijin padaku? Tapi hanya ingin memberiatahuku” Tanya geram. Gila! Sudahlah kepalaku serasa akan meledak mendengar pengakuannya tentang pelakor itu kini ternyata Ibu Suri, mertuaku tercinta ikut menjadi tim sukses dan parahnya seolah memaksa aku harus memeriahkan acara pernikahan sialan itu. Dasar psikopat! Fix, Mereka semua tidak waras.

"You look like this is the last place you want to be just because I'm here. Am I really that vile?" Timothy said nothing. Instead he gritted his teeth and shoved his hands into his pocket. Even in her anger, Chloe noticed him... Every inch of him... And his smell. She could pick out his unique scent. Rough. Masculine and mouthwateringly . It made no sense to her, but she was attuned to his every nuance. The man she had called her best friend until a dizzying series of events dissolved the title like sugar in hot water stared at her dispassionately. It was a good thing they were outside and she hoped that he couldn't see the hurt and disappointment on her face. The look wasn't just in his eyes. It seeped through every shrug, every curl of lips she had once thought were the most perfectly created set of lips on earth. She looked deeper, pathetically desperate to find something else. Something more. A reminder of those times when they would talk to each other for hours, and resume conversations the moment they saw one another again. But clearly the Tim she knew had been replaced by a harder, edgier version of a Timothy Kavell - Packard. He was hard and edgy and cynical to start off with. If she had known that he hated her this much, she wouldn't have agreed to his parents' offer to have dinner with them. She had agreed because a part of her had hoped that somehow, they would fix things and be friends again... And she was just beginning to see how wrong she had been....

“You like it when you’re being watched, don’t you?” Alex grunted, making Ivy have goosebumps. “Should we give them a show?” Alex breathed against her neck, causing her nipples to ache and harden against her bra. She made a mental note of the guards scattered around the property, who were trying hard not to look. Ivy gulped as she felt Alex’s mouth on her neck, one of her weak spots. He sucked on it as she hissed, placing her hands on his shoulders for support. Alex knew what he was doing to her; he could feel himself getting hard and could sense her arousal. He stopped, raised himself out of the pool, and stretched his hands for her to grab, which she did. He pulled her out of the pool with one hand. Without a pause, he carried her over his shoulder, her bare bottom exposed to the air. “Alex, let me go!” Ivy struggled against his body, receiving a spank from Alex that quieted her down. --------- Ivy Queen meets Alexander Donatello, CEO/ mafia lord of the American syndicate at a party. She is intrigued by his presence as he is drawn to her. Alex schemes up ways to get Ivy to marry him as she is in debt after the loss of her family in a ghastly car accident. Alex's childhood friend and business associate, Ryan Smith was smitten by Ivy when he first set his eyes on her. He followed her everywhere, obsessed with the way she moved, talked, but had no guts to ask her out. Ivy's best friend, Tim Rumble, was also in love with her but he was satisfied with being her friend as long he got to be with her.

Saat gempa bumi terjadi, suamiku yang merupakan kapten tim penyelamat justru meninggalkanku, lalu terlebih dulu menyelamatkan cinta pertamanya, Cloe Monroe. Aku tidak menghalanginya, membiarkannya pergi begitu saja. Karena di kehidupan sebelumnya, ketika menghadapi pilihan yang sama, suamiku memilih menyelamatkanku yang sedang hamil delapan bulan. Sedangkan Cloe, karena bantuan datang terlambat, malah terkubur di bawah reruntuhan akibat gempa susulan dan meninggal karena sesak napas. Kemudian, di hari aku akan melahirkan, suamiku membawaku ke makam Cloe. Dia memandangku dengan tatapan dingin saat aku terjatuh karena rasa sakit yang luar biasa, mengabaikan permohonan tanpa henti dariku. "Jessica, apa kamu kesakitan? Waktu itu, rasa sakit yang dialami Cloe di bawah reruntuhan seribu kali lebih parah dari ini!" Aku menatap suamiku yang seperti sudah kehilangan akal dengan ekspresi tidak percaya. Pria itu melanjutkan, "Padahal saat gempa, kamu jelas-jelas berada di zona aman! Kalau bukan karena kamu yang memaksa dengan alasan kehamilanmu, bagaimana mungkin momen terbaik untuk menyelamatkan Cloe bisa terlewatkan?" "Aku ingin kamu merasakan sendiri semua penderitaan yang pernah dialami Cloe!" Dia memaksaku berlutut, terus membenturkan kepala di depan foto mendiang cinta pertamanya, membiarkan darah mengalir deras dari tubuhku. Pada akhirnya, aku mengalami pendarahan hebat saat melahirkan, lalu meninggal di ruang persalinan. Saat membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari terjadinya gempa. Kali ini, aku dan anakku tidak akan lagi menggantungkan harapan padanya.

Sehari sebelum pesta kelulusan SMA, Ethan menyeretku ke ranjang. Gerakannya kasar dan dia menuntutku sepanjang malam. Meski tubuhku kesakitan, hatiku justru dipenuhi rasa manis. Aku telah diam-diam mencintai Ethan selama sepuluh tahun. Akhirnya, impianku menjadi nyata. Dia bilang, setelah lulus, dia akan menikahiku. Begitu dia mewarisi kekuasaan Keluarga Luciano dari ayahnya, aku akan menjadi wanita paling terhormat dalam keluarga itu. Keesokan paginya, Ethan memelukku erat dan mengaku pada kakak angkatku bahwa kami telah bersama. Aku duduk malu-malu dalam pelukannya, merasa diriku adalah wanita paling beruntung di dunia. Namun tiba-tiba, mereka mengganti percakapan ke dalam bahasa Italia. Lucas, kakak tiriku, menggoda Ethan dengan tawa, "Nggak heran kamu disebut-sebut sebagai Bos Muda. Baru pertama kali saja sudah ada primadona kelas yang nyerahin diri ke kamu." "Gimana rasanya adik tiriku?" Ethan menjawab dengan nada santai, "Luarannya memang tampak polos, tapi di ranjang ... luar biasa liar." Gelak tawa memenuhi ruangan itu. "Jadi, ke depannya aku harus panggil dia adik atau kakak ipar?" tanya Lucas. Namun, wajah Ethan tiba-tiba berubah dingin. "Kakak ipar apanya? Aku lagi coba dekati kapten tim pemandu sorak, takut dia kecewa sama kemampuanku, jadi Cynthia aku jadikan latihan dulu." "Oh ya, soal aku tidur sama Cynthia, jangan sampai Sylvia tahu. Aku takut dia marah." Tanpa mereka ketahui, aku diam-diam telah belajar bahasa Italia, hanya agar kelak bisa lebih dekat dengan Ethan. Mendengar semua itu, aku tidak berkata apa pun. Aku hanya diam-diam mengubah tujuan pendaftaran universitasku dari Caxtech menjadi Maltech.
