They tried to erase her. She survived. Raised in a place designed to break children, she grows up learning one rule above all else: endure quietly. Hunger is discipline. Pain is routine. Obedience is survival. She doesn’t know her real name, her family, or why certain men with clean shoes and cold eyes always seem to be watching. Until the night she runs. Bleeding, hunted, and half-dead, she escapes an institution that was never meant to let her live past usefulness. What she doesn’t know is that the symbol burned into her skin isn’t a punishment it’s a claim. A mark left by a powerful underground network that doesn’t lose what it owns. Her collapse brings her into the path of three brothers who rule the city’s shadows men whose wealth buys silence, whose violence is surgical, and whose loyalty to blood is absolute. At first, she’s just another wounded stranger pulled from the streets. Then one brother recognizes the mark. And everything changes. Because years ago, the brothers tried to dismantle a trafficking empire known only as The Circle. They thought it was gone. They were wrong. The girl they saved isn’t a random survivor she’s a missing investment. A living mistake The Circle intends to reclaim. As fragments of her past surface, a terrifying truth emerges: she wasn’t abandoned as a child. She was stolen. Trained. Conditioned. And when she escaped, she didn’t just save herself she reignited a war. Hunted by a network that erases people without a trace, and protected by men who don’t lose once they claim something as theirs, she must decide whether she’ll keep running… or turn and burn everything that tried to own her.

I'm on track to be a top student, but I end up taking the SAT twice. The first time, I score high enough to get into Westbridge University. The second time, my score qualifies me for Northfield University. Each time, I score over 1500. Yet when the admissions teams see my name, not a single school admits me. At first, I think it must be some kind of background check, certain they've found something in my record. But my parents are honest, hardworking people. They've never broken the law. They wouldn't even harm a fly. So I try a third time. My SAT score is 1580, and my GPA is still perfect. This time, I apply to Crestwood University, thinking I finally have it in the bag. The Crestwood University admissions officer arrives full of cheer, but the moment he sees my name, he freezes, immediately realizing there is no way I will be accepted. I rack my brain, trying to figure out what is wrong with my name. Why does seeing it make every school hesitate, even though my scores are perfect?

Binar bersimpuh dengan kesepuluh jarinya yang saling bertaut di depan dada. "Bunuh aku," lirihnya bersama bulir-bulir kepahitan yang membasahi wajahnya."Tidak sekarang, aku masih ingin bermain-main denganmu," bisik Rigel di telinga Binar dengan posisi menunduk. Pria itu menegakkan tubuhnya kembali, menarik gesper yang melingkar di pinggangnya hingga terlepas. Dengan seringai liciknya, ia layangkan gesper itu pada tubuh Binar yang semakin lemah."Berhenti!" pekik Binar memohon ampun. Namun, bukannya berhenti, Rigel semakin bersemangat mengukir bercak merah di tubuh wanita itu.***"Argh! Ayah ... tolong aku! Sakit!" Pekikan memilukan itu terdengar seiring tetes darah yang mengucur deras dari jemari mungil Leya."Berhenti memanggilku ayah! Kau harus tahu, aku tidak peduli akan kematianmu!"***Tak ada yang lebih menyakitkan bagi Binar saat ini, selain harus kehilangan sang buah hati, apalagi penyebab dari kematian buah hatinya adalah Rigel, pria yang teramat ia cintai. Di matanya kini, Rigel adalah jelmaan iblis yang telah membuatnya hanyut dalam tangis yang kian melimpah ruah, tertatih di atas bara api yang tak berujung, dan menghujamnya dengan ribuan anak panah beracun, serta tak pernah puas mengukir maha karya bertinta darah di tubuhnya. Rasanya, sakit sekali!Haruskah Binar bertahan dan memaafkan Rigel di saat terlampau banyak luka yang menganga di hati dan tubuhnya? Ataukah sebaiknya ia pergi, membuka lembaran baru, dan membuka hati untuk pria lain yang diharapkan bisa menjadi penyembuh lukanya?

Nadine Sullivan doesn't come home to have dinner with me on my birthday. Instead, she transfers 100 dollars to me and sends me a text, saying, "I love you." Coincidentally, a resident doctor at her hospital updates his social media with a photo. It's a screenshot of her transferring 10,000 dollars to him. She's also texted him, "I love you to the moon and back." I don't throw a tantrum or kick up a fuss. All I do is leave the city without hesitation. The first day after my departure, I hear that Nadine is unfazed. She says, "He'll be back after a few days." The first month after my departure, Nadine calls me. "I'll transfer 100 thousand dollars to you, alright? Can you come back now?" I've never wanted her money, though.
