Umur Park Solomon

For ten years, Charles served as the heart of his department at Black Industries, a senior manager renowned for his fierce protection of his team and his unwavering professional integrity. He was the buffer between his staff and the cold corporate world—until his boss’s blatant homophobic remarks crossed a line he could no longer tolerate. Refusing to work in an environment of prejudice, Charles walked away, a move that shattered the status quo and finally forced the "Iron Fist" CEO, David Black, to drop his mask. David, the formidable heir to the Black empire, had spent a decade secretly curating Charles’s career, keeping him close under the guise of professional necessity. The shock of Charles’s departure unearths years of repressed history and David’s deep-seated feelings. Realizing he cannot lose the one person who truly knows him, David pursues Charles, leading to a vulnerable and intense reunion. As the professional walls crumble, they begin a passionate love story, transitioning from the boardroom to a shared life of domestic warmth. Their new family is anchored by Charles’s two loyal companions: Bruce, a gentle Black Labrador, and Abe, an energetic Border Collie. Together, they find solace in quiet park walks and shared evenings, finally building the home David never thought he could have. However, their newfound happiness is not without its shadows. Standing in the wings is a formidable figure from the past—a tall, imposing presence in a suit and tie who refuses to let David’s legacy go. This mysterious antagonist threatens to dismantle their fragile peace, forcing Charles and David to decide if their love is strong enough to withstand a legacy designed to keep them apart.

After the real son, Asher Vale, was brought back, everything in our house became tied to drawing lots. The chef of the day, who would have to cook a particular person's preferred dishes, had to be decided by drawing lots. Even our parents' kisses and hugs were chosen the same way. I always drew the short stick. The long stick, by default, belonged to Asher. He never had to do anything to receive our parents' love. Whenever I felt it was unfair and wanted to cry, Mom would scold me sharply, "I bought the lot-drawing box because I was afraid you'd feel hurt. I wanted to be fair to both of you. If you want something, decide it yourselves. Your father and I won't interfere. If you can't draw the long stick, you can only blame your bad luck." So I began practicing every day, shaking the box diligently, over and over, in hopes that one day, it would help me earn my parents' love. Unfortunately, for ten years, I never once drew the long stick. Until my birthday. Asher wanted to go to the amusement park, and Mom once again told us to decide by drawing lots. I secretly glued the two short sticks together and handed them to Mom, hoping to keep her with me. She slapped me hard across the face, screaming that I was cheating and disobedient. Then she stormed out of the house with Asher. When I fell to the ground, the short stick stabbed deep into my neck. 'I'm sorry, Mom. Next time, I'll work harder. Next time, I'll definitely draw the long stick.'

Tiga tahun sudah terlewati, dan selama itulah New memendam perasaan kecewa, bingung, marah, juga rindu. Thana kakak kandungnya yang merangkap sebagai sahabat juga orang tua berubah menjadi pemuda berhati dingin terhadapnya. Menatap sinis dirinya juga memberinya kata-kata kasar. Tidak ada lagi tatapan lembut, senyuman hangat, juga tawa ceria. Hanya ada kebekuan dan decihan tajam saat keduanya di tempat yang sama. Umur New dan Thana hanya selisih dua tahun, menyebabkan mereka sangat dekat bahkan bergabung dalam grup yang sama. Namun kedekatan mereka terputus setelah New siuman, New sempat koma selama tiga bulan. Walau mereka tidak sedekat dulu lagi, mereka masih menetap digrup. Grup mereka terdiri dari enam orang, Lion yang seorang Pianis juga ketua, Krist sebagai Drummer, Thana sebagai pemain Bass, Jump sebagai Gitaris, Phan sebagai vokal pertama, dan New sendiri sebagai Vokalis utama. Grup mereka bernama B2F2 atau BBFF kepanjangan dari Best Brotherhood, Friendship Forever. Nama grup itu tercetus oleh member termuda mereka, yaitu New. Karena mereka semua masa bodoh dengan nama grup, akhirnya mereka semua setuju menggunakan nama grup yang diusulkan oleh New. Grup mereka sudah berdiri sejak Thana memasuki tahun pertama sekolah menengah akhir. Dan karena sekolah New berdekatan dengan sekolah Thana, menyebabkan New selalu berkumpul bersama teman kakaknya. Terlebih minat juga bakat yang sama di bidang musik, menyebabkan mudahnya beradaptasi dan akrab. Hingga ditahun pertama Thana kuliah, mereka membeli sebuah rumah yang tidak jauh dari kampus dan tinggal bersama-sama.

Richard Franklin has left his Midwestern roots behind to live on the coast of Maine with his family. But in the autumn of the year 2000, he must return to his Illinois birthplace on a sorrowful journey. His wife Michelle has been killed in New England by a hit-and-run driver who is never found, so back home he comes with her cremated remains, to fulfill a final wish and on her birthday scatter her ashes in the park along the river in Blackwater Valley—simply Blackwater Val to locals—the small town where they both grew up and fell in love. With him he brings his six-year-old daughter Katie who still grieves for her lost mother: Katie, who can sometimes guess who’s going to be on the phone before it rings. Who can stop all the clocks in the house, and break up clouds in the sky with her mind, and heal sicknesses, and who sometimes sees things that aren’t there...people who are no longer alive. All gifts she inherited from her mother. Only something isn’t quite right in the Val. Sinkholes are opening up, revealing the plague pits the sleepy hamlet was built over in the 1830s, when malaria and cholera outbreaks ran riot. Mysterious bird and fish die-offs begin to occur, and Katie can see ghosts of the dead gathering all around. But what she can’t see is the charred, centuries-old malevolence which has been waiting for her, and wants her for its very own. Or the pale Sallow Man who haunts the town’s nighttime streets...or the river witch—another Blackwater Val, of sorts—each of whom will be drawn one by one into the nightmarish bloodletting about to take place. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

“Ito na ko, Autum. Hindi mo na pwedeng baguhin. I’m messed up, chaotic and twisted. I’ve been like this for so long, it’s not like kaya kong biglang baguhin ang lahat para lang sayo.” malungkot na saad niya habang diretsong nakatingin sakin ang mga mata niyang napupuno na unti-unti ng luha. “Phoe-” “No, Autumn. I really understand. Ganyan ka, ganito ako. We are two different beings, maybe you won’t ever understand me, so do I. So whatever your decision will be, I’ll gladly accept it. I will respect it, we will respect it. Ganoon ka kahalaga. Ganoon kita kamahal. It’s your call.

On my birthday, I passed out at home alone for more than two hours. My Alpha, Augustus Brock, took our son and went to an amusement park with Christine Terra, who had just severed her mate bond. Someone snapped photos of them, and the images went viral on social media. [Brock Pack's Alpha is enjoying a sweet family outing with his mate and heir. His Luna's face is revealed for the first time!] In the photo, Augustus held our child in one arm while wrapping the other around the woman beside him. My son, Ethan Brock, who had always been a neat freak and never let me touch him, had actually kissed that woman on the cheek. He was grinning from ear to ear. I lay on the floor. The harsh glow of my phone screen hurt my eyes. I then heard Augustus' voice through our mind link. "I'll celebrate your birthday with you next time. Christine just severed her mate bond and isn't in a good mood. I'm taking her out to cheer her up. Stop making a scene." Right after that, Ethan's voice followed through the mind link. "Mom, I want Christine to be my new mom! From now on, it's enough if you visit me once a month. If you come too often, she won't be happy about it." My phone buzzed. It was a message from an unknown number. [You know who he really loves. I've regained my freedom. If you know what's good for you, sever the mate bond yourself.]

Kekasih masa kecilku berjanji akan menikahiku begitu kami cukup umur, tapi malah terang-terangan memberikan cincin kepada kakak tiriku, Jessica, di hari pernikahanku. Yohan-lah, pewaris mafia yang ditakuti semua orang, melangkah dengan lantang mengatakan bahwa akulah wanita yang telah dia cintai diam-diam selama bertahun-tahun. Selama lima tahun pernikahan kami, setiap keinginanku kecil yang tanpa sengaja aku ucapkan akan selalu dia wujudkan. Sampai aku benar-benar percaya bahwa akulah pusat dari seluruh dunianya. Sampai suatu hari, saat aku sedang merapikan rak buku, tanpa sengaja aku menjatuhkan sebuah berkas rahasia yang tersembunyi di bagian terdalam rak milik Yohan. Halaman pertama adalah data Jessica dan di atasnya, tertulis tulisan tangan Yohan dengan tinta merah tebal [Terpenting, lindungi Jessica.] Lalu di bawahnya, terdapat laporan misi yang sangat aku kenali. Misi yang sangat kutakuti. Malam itu, ada yang mencoba membunuhku. Begitu bantuan tiba, aku hampir mati kehabisan darah. Saat sadar di rumah sakit, aku baru tahu bahwa janin kecil di rahimku sudah tiada. Aku menangis sejadi-jadinya di pelukan Yohan, aku sangat hancur. Tapi aku tidak memberitahunya tentang kehilangan itu, aku tidak ingin membuatnya lebih khawatir lagi. Baru sekarang aku mengerti bahwa malam itu, Jessica juga mendapat percobaan pembunuhan. Perintah yang dikeluarkan Yohan adalah, "Selamatkan Jessica terlebih dulu." Air mataku menetes di atas kertas itu, membuat tulisan merahnya memudar. "Baiklah." Aku berbisik di tengah kesunyian, suaraku serak tapi tegas. "Kalau pernikahan kita hanyalah kebohongan yang kamu rancang dengan cermat, maka aku akan menghilang dari duniamu … untuk selamanya."
