FALLING FOR THE BEAST
Xander duduk, tersenyum samar memandangi tiap ruang pertemuan ini-markasnya-beserta semua orang-orang yang tidak akan bisa berkutik di bawah kuasanya.
Dengan satu tarikan di pinggang, Crystal terduduk di pangkuan Xander. Menjadi mainannya. Crystal terbelalak, nyaris memekik ketika jemari dingin Xander menyusuri belahan pahanya lewat belahan gaunnya yang panjang. Terus naik. Lalu, mengelus pelan di sana.
Sialan. Rencananya memang seperti ini, tapi tidak sampai seperti ini.
"Duduklah. Mulai rapatnya." Xander berkata malas pada orang-orangnya yang masih berdiri kaku, menunggu perintah selanjutnya. "Aku ingin melakukannya dengan dia di pangkuanku."
* * *
Crystal Leonidas; the Perfect Princess! Hidupnya sempurna. Putri bungsu Billionaire nomor satu dunia, cantik, pintar, dengan Aiden Lucero; lelaki bak prince charming yang mencintainya. Melindunginya dari segala hal. Bersama Aiden, Crystal percaya ia tidak membutuhkan apa pun lagi. Hingga, tatapan Crystal bertemu dengan mata indah Xander William. Hangat tapi kelam. Menenangkan sekaligus menakutkan. Bukan rahasia lagi jika seketika itu Crystal terjatuh pada lelaki asing itu.
Cepat, keras dan dalam.
Percikan perasaan itu terasa menakutkan, berubah menjadi api, lalu menjelma menjadi rasa mendamba yang kuat. Terlarang, tapi memanggil-manggil untuk ia lewati. Ketika bibir Xander membakar tubuhnya dengan ciuman, Crystal tahu ia sudah melanggar batas.
Batas berbahaya.
Sayangnya, tidak ada jalan kembali.
He is a Beast. A cruel beast who can kill you and throw your body in the east.
So, what happened next when Crystal realizes that she already Falling For The Beast?

Chapter: 54. Falling For The BeastCrystal menggeleng pelan, terkekeh. Tubuhnya membeku. Pandangannya mengarah pada Aiden yang mendekat. Selama ini ternyata dia bekerja sama dengan Lukas.“Pengkhianat!” Lilya menggeram—menatap Rhysand dengan tatapan seganas binatang. “Berengsek kau, Rhysand!” Theodore tidak berbeda jauh, bersama Samuel, ia mengawasi sekitar lewat lirikan mata. Mencoba mencari-cari celah. Sialan. Mereka terjebak, walau bagaimana pun mereka kalah jumlah.Rhysand menyeringai, ia menggeser posisi ke sebelah Lukas, menggantikan posisi Aiden, sementara lelaki itu berhenti sepuluh kaki dari Crystal. Sangat dekat—seakan bisa Crystal raih dengan mudah. Aidennya. Lelaki yang pernah sangat ia cintai dan sekarang ia benci setengah mati.Aiden masih sangat tampan seperti yang terakhir Crystal ingat.

Namun, tidak sedikit pun pandangannya lepas. “What do you mean?” “Sama seperti keterlibatan Mr. Leonidas dengan kecelakaannya. Aku mendapatkan misi dari Mr. Leonidas utuk melakukannya.” Xavier. Tuan Rhysand adalah Xavier. Entah apa yang melatar belakangi kontrak mereka hingga lelaki ini sangat setia—Rhysand bahkan nyaris tidak pernah menyebut nama Kakaknya. Napas Crystal tersekat dalam satu detakan jantung, dia memang pernah menduga Xavier terlibat dengan kecelakaan Aiden, tapi mendengar fakta itu sendiri membuat jantungnya terasa sesak.Angeline benar, mungkin kematian Xander memang karma untuk mereka. Untuknya.Mata Crystal terasa terbakar. “Kau membunuh Aiden?”Rhysand menggeleng. “Setelah mengetahui apa yang sudah Aiden lakukan padamu, Mr.

Semua orang di meja makan itu; Crystal, Javier, Anggy, Charlotte, Xavier, Aurora, Lilya, Quinn dan Andres—langsung menghentikan kegiatan makan mereka. Charlotte bahkan terang-terangan menatap Rikkard tidak percaya, sedangkan Crystal hanya diam—menatap piring makannya. “Setelah itu aku akan melakukan pemilihan CEO dan pewaris Leonard.”“What did you say?!” Charlotte mendesis rendah. “Anak kita belum ditemukan, dan yang kau pikirkan hanya—““Kau suka atau tidak, aku butuh pewaris.

Chapter: 51. The LossesHari-hari berganti dengan samar.Setelah tertidur hari itu, Crystal mengalami demam tinggi, kondisinya juga tidak kunjung membaik bahkan setelah lewat seminggu. Selama itu pula tidak ada informasi berarti terkait private jet Xander. Hanya ada info rute beserta titik radar terakhir sebelum pesawat itu menghilang. Dari rekaman komunikasi Pilot dengan Air traffic Controller yang terakhir, juga tidak ditemukan tanda-tanda pesawat itu mengalami masalah. Jejaknya bersih, seakan private jet itu menghilang begitu saja.Nyaris semua headline berita dipenuhi kecelakaan pesawat pewaris Leonard, beberapa ahli bahkan memprediksi pesawat itu terjatuh karena turbulance mesin akibat cuaca buruk. Karena itu, pencarian dilakukan dengan menyisir di sekitar titik terakhir keberadaan pesawat di radar, berusaha mencari titik terang.Crystal berharap sebaliknya. Sedikit pun, ia tidak berharap bang

Kegelisahan mulai memenuhi Crystal hingga jemarinya berkali-kali gemetar.Where are you?Satu pesan lagi Crystal kirimkan ke ponsel Xander. Namun, tetap tidak ada jawaban. Padahal itu cara komunikasi satu-satunya setelah Xander memutuskan koneksi micro chip mereka. Sialan.

Shocking news came from William Corp; technology, oil and infrastructure companies which in recent times still occupy the first position in the world. Reporting from Routers, this multinational company began to experience a decline in shares since one month ago. Its stock value continues to decline, even now it has touched the price range—Crystal groaned, tossing her phone against the car's dashboard. Xavier was wrong. Not three days, but it took Leonidas a month to level William Corp.Pressing the gas pedal hard, Crystal drove her white Lamborghini Aventador through the private road that connected the main gate to Xavier's mansion. It took her seven minutes until she reached the front steps of the main door, stopping right behind Xavier's red Lamborghini Veneno."X!" Crystal skipped the preamble, jumping out as soon as

Not sexy enough?"It was seven in the evening when Crystal was still twirling her body in front of the mirror. Admiring, at the same time doubting every corner of her beautiful body wrapped in a sleeveless dark blue dress with abstract motifs after trying dozens of other dresses. Elegant and sexy. The loose hair that Anne was combing was also quite sweet. But, still, for the first time in her life, she felt insecure.“You are always beautiful, Miss. Only a blind person will not be attracted to you," said the half-century-old nanny who always served her.Crystal pinned her hands on her waist, puffing out h

Crystal snorted, averted her eyes from him annoyedly, and returned her focus back to the helicopter. She was reluctant to respond to this annoying man. There was still a few minutes before the helicopter's fuel ran out. She rushed to send an SOS signal, hoping that someone, especially Quinn, picked it up, then prepared for an emergency landing in the water. Should not there be a buoy to keep the helicopter afloat? However, the increasingly loud alarm caused her to panic. She could not think properly. The thought of this helicopter exploding flashed in her mind. It was true that she had intended to avoid that damn contest, but not by going to heaven! "Oh, Jesus! If you save me now, I will consider becomin

Crystal snapped in annoyance, placing her hands on her waist, and glared at the man. Wow, this cat's eyes were blue, Crystal muttered to herself. Crystal was used to being a trendsetter, even for upper class people. It showed that she was higher than the rest of them. However, finding a cat plagiarizing her name was more attention-grabbing, Crystal could not accept it! The man looked at him, frowning. "Huh? Meng? Ugly?" "Change her name! Princessa is my middle name!" Crystal insisted, without bothering to explain if Meng was the Indonesian word that her grandmother used for her pet cats. She just wanted the cat's name to be changed, period. The man raised an eyebrow. "Then? If you are already using the name Princessa, other people can not—"

They were sitting on the long sofa, right behind the large glass wall that separated the glass room from the archery area. Aiden was already there, ready to take aim. It seemed that he was determined to prove that Javier Leonidas’s crazy contest was nothing more than a mistake, and Crystal's whining all night would not go to waste. "What do you think? I am Crystal Leonidas! C-R-Y-S-T-A-L! Only a fool and a madman would miss the chance to marry me!" "Everyone is welcome, but not Elias. His job is to take care of Axelion and Aurora!" Xavier stood restlessly, his clear blue eyes squinting at the blond-haired man who was also aiming—Elias Parks, his own bodyguard. "Christian. Find out what ID Elias had used to sign up for this."

Crystal turned her head and looked at Aiden who was holding her and staring at her warmly. Aiden who was tall looked strong and invincible in a suit that was specially designed for him by a renowned designer. Handsome was not enough to describe Aiden Lucero. His short shiny black hair framed his face, a beautiful contrast to his pale skin. Backed with a beautiful facial bone structure; firm lips, strong jaw, and sharp nose. It was as if the man was a sculpture carved by experts flawlessly. Crystal could not digest, let alone reply to his statement. She looked away from the corner of his eye, feeling how people around them were glancing at this t
