Without Any Further Ado

SHADOW” is about Liam Remmick and his adventures in seeking revenge. His father, Steve Nazar abandoned the mother when she was still pregnant. After the death of his mother he lived from one orphanage to another until he was thrown out to fend for himself. Because no other orphanage agreed to take him in, mostly because of his sadist character, he lives in a cave eating whatever he finds. Most times he would steal food and fruits from vendors—he would be caught, beaten to a pulp and the food he stole would be taken from him. He would go home empty handed with nothing but a bruised face and a few broken bones and swollen eyes. When he’s not stealing fruits he’s either hunting for game or mushroom. On a faithful day when he came home to his cave after a sunny day of getting nothing, he noticed someone was in his cave and after having a short squabble with the stranger—as usual Liam is good at picking fights but rarely wins any. The strange figure introduces himself as Seth, Liam’s Uncle. Liam recognised his face from the picture his mother would always look at if she missed home. Seth is Liam’s mother’s baby brother. That day is the first day Liam is meeting him or any of his relatives. Seth has been looking for him after he heard his sister died, he was close to giving up when he finally stumbles on a cave to rest and tend to his wounds only for him to meet his nephew living like a caveman. He takes him home to the Shadow Realm—is the home of people with the ability to control Shadows, Liam’s father was from there but he deserted the place.

Albert Roosevelt was the crush I was never meant to have. Like an idiot, I believed loving someone meant giving them everything, even if they didn't care about you. So, I trailed after him like a desperate puppy, bending over backward to meet his every whim. When he couldn't afford tuition, I begged Dad to fund him, sending him to the best schools. When his worn-out clothes made him a laughingstock, I pitied him and showered him with designer labels. And what did he do? He used what I gave him to chase after a gold-digging campus belle. To keep up appearances, he blew through money like it grew on trees. He even spread rumors that he was the real heir to the Roosevelts. To him, I was just an ATM. "Your family's loaded. It's not like you'll miss a few hundred grand. If you're gonna be stingy, maybe you should stop following me around," he said when his wallet ran dry. And like a fool, I believed that if I kept paying, someday, he'd love me back. After graduation, I funded his startup. The second it took off, he married the campus belle. He had the nerve to claim he earned everything through nothing but hard work. So, I crashed his wedding, and he buried a knife in my chest. "Only when you're dead, Eve Roosevelt. Only then will my pathetic past stay buried." When I opened my eyes again, I was face-to-face with a scowling Albert. "You can't scrape together a few hundred thousand dollars? It's Bianca's birthday. Are you trying to humiliate me?" I looked around the room and rolled my eyes. "Sure, I'll pay. But first? Kneel. You look pretty enough. Consider it charity, peasant."

Pada ulang tahun pernikahan kami yang ke-7, aku menindih tubuh Lionel, suamiku yang adalah seorang mafia, dan menciumnya dengan penuh hasrat. Di tengah keintiman yang membara, aku merogoh saku gaun sutra mahalku dan mengenggam test pack yang aku sembunyikan di sana. Aku berencana untuk memberitahunya kabar kehamilanku tengah malam nanti. Maryos, tangan kanan Lionel, menatapnya sambil tersenyum menggoda dan bertanya kepadanya dalam bahasa Iltan, "Bos, bidadari kecil barumu itu ... si Sofia .... Gimana rasanya?" Seketika itu juga, Lionel tertawa dengan begitu kencang, membuat bulu kudukku meremang. Lionel pun menjawab, tentunya dalam bahasa Iltan, "Rasanya seperti ... seperti buah persik yang belum matang. Segar dan lembut." Tangannya masih mengelus pinggangku dengan lembut, tetapi tatapannya tidak tertuju padaku. "Ingat, ini rahasia kita. Kalau istriku sampai tahu, habislah aku." Para anak buahnya tertawa. Mereka bersulang, berjanji untuk tidak membocorkan apa-apa. Kesabaranku perlahan menipis, digantikan dengan darahku yang mulai mendidih. Mereka semua tidak tahu bahwa nenekku berasal dari Pulau Sagara. Aku memahami semua isi pembicaraan mereka. Aku berusaha menahan emosi, mempertahankan senyum sempurna seorang istri pemimpin keluarga mafia. Meski begitu, aku tetap tak bisa membuat tanganku yang memegang gelas sampanye berhenti gemetar. Emosiku bisa meledak kapan saja dan aku tidak mau membuat kegaduhan. Jadi, untuk mengalihkan pikiranku, aku menyalakan ponsel, membuka undangan proyek riset medis internasional pribadi beberapa hari lalu, lalu menekan tombol "Terima". Dalam tiga hari, aku akan menghilang dari dunia Lionel, selamanya.
