True Villain

Batari Amara Wijaya seharusnya sudah menjadi abu setelah malam jahanam di Uluwatu. Sepuluh bulan lalu, kehormatannya direnggut paksa oleh pria-pria yang ia sebut keluarga. Di puncak Bukit Terlarang, Batari menukar sisa jiwanya dengan Lenka, entitas mistis haus darah yang memberinya kecantikan mematikan dan aroma mawar yang mampu melumpuhkan logika pria mana pun. Setiap sentuhan Batari adalah racun yang nikmat; setiap desahannya adalah lonceng kematian yang sensual. Kini, Batari kembali ke Jakarta bukan sebagai korban, melainkan sebagai predator. Satu demi satu, mereka yang menghancurkan hidupnya mulai tumbang. Erick Koma, Adrian hilang, Seline hancur, dan kini giliran Victor—pria yang mengklaim tubuh Batari sebagai wilayah kekuasaannya. Victor tidak menginginkan cinta; ia menginginkan kepatuhan mutlak. Ia memburu bibir Batari yang berdarah, menyesap setiap desahan yang keluar dari bibir gadis itu, tak sadar bahwa setiap sentuhannya adalah paku untuk peti matinya sendiri. Di sisi lain, Elio hadir sebagai kontras yang berbahaya—seorang pria berkuasa yang ingin menyelamatkan Batari dari kegelapan yang ia ciptakan sendiri. Di atas ranjang yang menjadi saksi bisu perjamuan nafsu dan air mata, Batari bermain dengan api. Ia membiarkan Victor menjadi anjing penjaganya yang gila, sementara ia perlahan menarik pelatuk untuk pembalasan terakhir. Namun, ada satu aturan darah yang tak boleh dilanggar: Jangan pernah jatuh cinta. Karena saat jantungnya bergetar untuk seorang pria, iblis di dalam nadinya akan menelan jiwanya utuh. Akankah Batari menuntaskan dahaga dendamnya, atau justru terbakar kembali dalam api gairah yang terlarang?

Stanley Hamilton and I were basically Southport's favorite hate-watch couple. For Elodie—my oh-so-perfect adopted sister—he wrecked my company and had my parents thrown in prison. I, in turn, drove Elodie to her death, making him watch as she jumped off a rooftop. Our forced marriage? Just a slow ride from mutual disgust straight into mutual destruction. Then came the car explosion. Stanley, who'd hated me forever, still used his last breath to shove me out of the blast. "Vivienne Weston, one lifetime tangled with you is enough. If there's a next one, let's never meet." He touched the tattoo of Elodie's name on his neck, smiling faintly as the flames took him. After he died, I wandered through life half-dead myself until illness finished the job. When I woke up in the past, staring at two betrothal contracts, I didn't hesitate—I picked the guy everyone swore was insane. Stanley and my dad? I handed them right back to Elodie. This time, I wanted no meetings, no memories, no strings. Ever again.

The day my cancer is diagnosed, my husband slaps me across the face. "You're vicious! You're even pretending to have cancer just to look more pitiful than your sister!" My son shouts, "Mom is horrible! I hate Mom!" I don't cry or make a scene. I quietly put the test results away and choose a grave for myself. In 15 days, I'll leave this city to die somewhere else in peace. I won't even give them the chance to regret it.

After getting fired from my company, I returned to the countryside, spending my days playing rummy with my grandmother, but my entire family went insane, searching for me everywhere. It was because my younger sister, the family's prodigy jewelry designer, couldn't come up with a single design after I left. In my previous life, at the National Jewelry Design Competition, she managed to produce designs identical to mine before I even finished mine. Everyone assumed I had copied her work. Even my own family testified in her favor. The company accused me of misconduct and plagiarism, claiming my actions had tarnished their reputation. I was fired on the spot and ordered to pay a huge fine. My family, seeing me as nothing but a burden, threw me out of the house. Crushed by the weight of family betrayal and public judgment, I fell into depression, only to be killed on the street by one of my sister's obsessive fans. As my consciousness faded, I couldn't understand why my sister managed to create the exact same design before I did. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day I just signed up for the National Jewelry Design Competition.

I'm Sophie Gould, the only daughter of the wealthiest man in Arberton. My mother doesn't like me, though. She treats her niece, Tanya Hall, like her own and allows her to take over my identity. At a banquet where all affluent families are gathered, Tanya takes my seat before I can. Then, she says in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "You wouldn't even be here if not for Mom wanting me to show you around so you can expand your horizons, Sophie. "Remember this—you might not be a member of the Gould family, but your actions are linked to us. Don't disgrace us." In the past, I would've stood there with my eyes red, at a loss for what to do. It was too bad I'd been reborn. I smile icily at Tanya and kick her off my throne. "I should've expected this of an impostor. To think an insignificant banquet like this is enough to make you act so obnoxiously! And did you say you're part of the Gould family? You have no idea the sort of trouble you'll be getting yourself into!"
