Fiona membeku.Jantungnya seperti berhenti berdetak sesaat.Aiden menunggu reaksinya dengan senyum samar, menikmati keterkejutan yang terpeta jelas di wajah Fiona."Apa?!" suara Fiona nyaris melengking. "Kau pasti sudah kehilangan akal, Aiden!"Aiden tetap tenang, matanya tak lepas dari wajah Fiona yang merah padam karena marah."Kenapa terkejut, Kakak Ipar?" Aiden menyandarkan tubuh ke sofa. "Kita sudah melakukannya sekali. Tidak ada salahnya mengulanginya." Ucapnya tanpa dosa.Wajah Fiona memanas, bukan karena malu, tapi karena amarah yang membara. "Berengsek! Aku tidak akan melakukannya lagi!"Aiden menghela napas, lalu berdiri. Gerakannya santai, tapi matanya menatap Fiona tajam."Kau ingin bebas dari pernikahan ini, Fiona," katanya dengan nada malas. "Aku menawarkan solusi. Kau hanya perlu menuruti syarat terakhirku."Fiona mendecak. "Omong kosong! Apa hubungannya tidur denganmu dengan perceraianku dengan Antonio?"Aiden mendekat, hanya beberapa inci dari wajahnya. "Aku tidak suk

"Silakan, Nona Fiona,” ucap sang kepala pelayan kala dirinya dan Fiona tiba di depan sebuah kamar.Fiona melangkah masuk dan memandang isi ruangan luas itu. Kamar yang diberikan padanya ternyata lebih mewah daripada yang Fiona bayangkan. Nuansa krem dan emas mendominasi interior, ranjang king-size dengan tirai tipis di sisi-sisinya, serta lampu gantung kristal yang berkilauan. Sebuah balkon kecil dengan tirai terbuka, sedikit menampakkan pemandangan taman yang indah di luar.Namun, keindahan ruangan ini tak sedikit pun membuatnya merasa nyaman.“Terima kasih,” gumam Fiona, mencoba terdengar tenang.Kepala pelayan tersenyum tipis. "Jika ada sesuatu yang Anda butuhkan, Anda bisa memanggil salah satu staf kami atau menekan bel di dekat meja."Fiona mengangguk kecil. "Aku mengerti."Kepala pelayan menatapnya sesaat, seolah ingin mengatakan sesuatu. "Nona Fiona," katanya akhirnya, suaranya lebih pelan. "Saya tahu ini bukan keputusan yang mudah, tetapi percaya lah, Tuan Besar Carter hanya

Fiona terperangah.Jantungnya serasa berhenti berdetak saat dugaannya akhirnya terbukti benar.Aiden.Pria yang tidur dengannya malam itu… adalah Aiden Carter! Adik iparnya sendiri!Melihat ekspresi Fiona, Aiden tersenyum sinis. “Jadi, benar dugaanku… kau sebenarnya sudah menyadarinya.”Napas Fiona tercekat. Tubuhnya kaku, pikirannya kacau. Pria yang tidur dengannya jelas dalam keadaan sadar, jadi … kalau benar pria itu Aiden, kenapa dia masih menidurinya!?“Kau … kenapa kau membiarkan semuanya terjadi!?” seru Fiona.“Oh? Setelah dirimu yang memaksaku untuk membantumu, sekarang kau malah menyalahkanku? Hebat sekali kau, Fiona Johnson.”Ekspresi Fiona berubah runyam. Memaksa? Bagaimana bisa memaksa kalau dirinyalah yang berada dalam pengaruh obat perangsang!?“Kau sepenuhnya sadar, tidak sepertiku. Saat tahu aku memintamu, betapapun aku memaksa, seharusnya kau menolakku!”Balasan Fiona membuat ekspresi Aiden berubah suram untuk sesaat, sebelum akhirnya sebuah senyuman kembali terlukis

Di dalam mobil, pikiran Fiona masih terasa ribut.Setelah kejadian di hotel dan pertengkarannya dengan Antonio serta Amber, dia juga hampir tertabrak oleh mobil karena melamun. Seakan tidak cukup melelahkan, sekarang dia masih harus satu mobil dengan Aiden, pria yang sedari dulu begitu membencinya.Diam-diam Fiona melirik kepada pria di sebelahnya.Jauh sebelum dirinya mengenal Antonio, sebenarnya Fiona sudah mengenal Aiden lebih dulu. Dan itu karena mereka satu jurusan semasa kuliah.Aiden Carter, putra kedua keluarga Carter yang ternama, merupakan sosok yang terkenal genius dan berkemampuan, terutama dalam hal bisnis. Akan tetapi, berbeda dari kakaknya yang ramah dan pintar membangun koneksi, Aiden lebih ketus, dingin, dan tidak memiliki banyak teman.Walau demikian, masih banyak wanita yang nekat mengejarnya, dan itu semua berkat ketampanannya.‘Apa yang tampan darinya?’ batin Fiona sembari mendengus dalam hati, mulai memerhatikan wajah Aiden.Mata elang, hidung tinggi, bibir tipis

“Fiona!” Seruan Antonio menyentak lamunan Fiona.Wanita itu pun langsung menjauhkan diri dari tubuh Aiden dan menoleh ke arah sang suami yang baru saja tiba.“Aiden?” panggil Antonio, bingung melihat kedatangan sang adik yang tidak diundang. “Kenapa kamu di sini? Bukannya kamu di luar negeri?”Melihat ekspresi Fiona dan Antonio yang canggung dan tidak menduga kedatangannya, Aiden hanya tersenyum penuh arti. “Aku hanya berkunjung karena disuruh Kakek, tapi … sepertinya aku mengganggu sesuatu?”Mata Aiden menatap ke arah wajah Fiona dan Antonio, lalu kepada Amber yang terduduk di lantai ruang tamu.Antonio angkat suara, “Aku dan kakak iparmu sedang sibuk, jadi bisakah kamu–”“Tidak, kamu tidak mengganggu apa pun,” Fiona memotong kalimat Antonio untuk menjawab Aiden. “Karena Antonio sedang sibuk dengan kakakku, biar aku sebagai salah satu tuan rumah yang menjamumu malam ini. Ikut denganku.”Aiden melirik Fiona dengan ekspresi yang sulit ditebak. Sekilas, sudut bibirnya terangkat, seolah

Suara tamparan yang bergema membuat ruang tamu kediaman itu menjadi hening.Antonio bergeming, memandang wajah Fiona yang memerah bergantian dengan tangannya yang baru saja mendarat di sana.Dia … baru saja menampar Fiona!Memang, sejak awal di antara mereka berdua tidak pernah ada cinta, tapi pria itu sama sekali tidak pernah bersikap kasar pada Fiona, apalagi sampai bermain fisik. Namun, karena terbawa emosi akibat hinaan Fiona kepada Amber, dia lepas kendali!“F-Fiona, aku ….”Fiona menatap pria itu dengan tatapan yang sulit diartikan. “kamu menamparku?”Antonio terdiam, berbagai hal berkelebat dalam benaknya.Demi Amber, dia baru saja menampar istrinya, tapi Antonio merasa itu hal yang wajar. Lagi pula, sedari awal dia tidak pernah sedikit pun mencintai Fiona. Walau memang Fiona begitu penurut dan perhatian padanya, tapi dia tidak bisa dibandingkan dengan Amber yang sungguh cantik dan memahami dirinya sejak awal!Dan lagi, Fiona telah menghina Amber, jadi wajar bila Antonio menam

"I've just answered the question who is Mr Dominic and what he does. And he's not a mafia. And as to where Mr Dominic and what motive brought you here, later you will find out yourself. Are you satisfied with my answer?" Delia asked.Jean didn't answer. To be honest, Delia's answer wasn't satisfactory for her. But she refused to ask further and chose to nod her head."Okay, we have arrived. Inside, there are clothes that are ready for you to wear. Call me if you need anything.' Delia was about to leave, but Jean called her."Wait." Jean stopped Delia's steps."Who is the man below and who you are to Mr Dominic?" Delia turned and smiled faintly."Eliot? He is Mr Dominic's personal stylist and I am his trusted secretary."Jean was silent."Do you still have questions for me?" Delia asked, confirming."No, thanks." Jean tried to smile even though it was a forced smile."Let me go first. Don't hesitate to call me." After saying that, Delia left Jean with a thousand questions in her brai

Boisterous voices from visitors who want to witness and become masters who would put as much money as possible to buy the auction woman they want. Jean and the seven women who participated in the auction lined up with their best poses to seduce the rich masters present in the room. Why was it called master? Because they would rule over the woman for a night or several days. Jean took a sip of saliva to see how many men had participated in the auction. This was her first time devoted to those who want to buy the best women in the club tonight. Even though Jean has been quite a while working in this club, she didn't want to know what they were doing in this room. And unfortunately, Jean became one of the auction ladies because of her stepmother. Jean applied her hands to the dress she was wearing. She wore a long gold dress with strap sleeves that showed off her beautiful shoulders, not to mention that Jean's dress was so fitting on her body that every curve of her body was printed

Like the previous days, the club was always filled with people looking for fun during the busy day. Jean was accustomed to guests serving drinks or occasionally responding to the chatter of drunken men in front of her. While listening to the chatter of the middle-aged man in front of her, Cheryl came over. "Jean, Madam called you." Cheryl informed her. Jean was a little confused because Madam called her out of the blue. It wasn't what Jean knew that Madam had given up on persuading her to serve VIP guests. Then, what did Madam call her for? "Where shall I find her?" Jean asked Cheryl. "In her room. You know? Looks like she's in a really good mood. Her smile doesn't leave her lips. Looks like she just got a big lottery." Cheryl informed Jean. "Maybe Madam just got a new young leaf that is more wow than before." Jean jokingly replied."Just go before Madam's mood went down because of you." Cheryl encouraged Jean to quickly meet Madam. ***Jean slowly approached Madam's room, wh

It's eleven o'clock in the afternoon. Jean was still gracefully asleep on Chanyeol's bed. Not long after, Jean woke up and immediately looked at the clock on the wall. How shocked she was to see the short needle on the number eleven. "I'm late."Jean hurried downstairs."Je." Called Chanyeol from the kitchen to see Jean's panicked face."Chan, why didn't you wake me up?" Jean was Annoyed."On purpose." Chanyeol answered lightly.Chanyeol was a little disappointed because Jean's reaction was too normal since Chanyeol kissed her. Could Chanyeol expect Jean to show an embarrassing face or blush because of his treatment?"Chanyeol..." Jean was annoyed."Let me go, wlee." Chanyeol jokingly responded to Jean. He thought positively. Maybe Jean was still sleepy, so she still didn't remember what happened."You guys are still like kids. Stop teasing Jean, Chan." Chanyeol's mother twisted Chanyeol."Sorry Mom, Jean is the one who naughty." Chanyeol dodged it."Chanyeol is naughty Mom... Didn'

The sound of a strong buzz made anyone who heard it jumped with fear. No exception for Delia, Dominic Archer's secretary, the second-largest shareholder of Aleris Corp, one of the biggest companies in America."Again?" The baritone voice hypnotized anyone who heard it. He was Dominic Archer."Upon investigation, the funds flowed to several women and their lavish trips, sir." She explained in more detail."How many clients have canceled the partnership with us?" Dominic asked his secretary, Delia."Not that much, but our stocks are down by a few percent. If it continues like this, we might get to a crisis point." Delia explained.Dominic patted his temples which felt throbbing."I will go out."Dominic left the room with a face that was difficult to interpret.**The room inside was not too big, but it was pretty neat and comfortable. The wall colour was grey-black with a combination of a little white to be the dominant colour in the room. Various idol posters, two acoustic guitars, a
