Luar biasa mengejutkan dan membuat hancur perasaan Gee Andhra bukan? Meski sadar biduk rumah tangganya sudah hancur di depan mata sebelum melangkah ke pelaminan, tetapi Gee Andhra memilih tetap melanjutkan pernikahan untuk menghancurkannya di kemudian hari. Ya. Karena sudah terlanjur basah kuyup memberikan kepercayaan dan mempersiapkan segala pernikahan, sekalian saja Gee Andhra menceburkan diri untuk melampiaskan rasa sakit hatinya pada Arya Diranda Harsa dan Jonna Alexa dalam embel-embel pernikahan. Meski begitu, dia berjanji pada dirinya sendiri, bahwa tidak akan pernah memberikan keperawanannya pada Diran sampai kapan pun. Ya. Keperawanan adalah hal yang paling berharga bagi Gee Andhra saat ini. Beruntung, hubungan yang terjalin 5 tahun dengan Diran itu tak sampai membuatnya hilang perawan. Meski toh bujuk rayu Diran hampir membuatnya terlena. Karena keperawanan adalah harga diri seorang perempuan, maka Gee Andhra akan memegang prinsip itu, tanpa peduli statusnya yang sudah sebagai seorang istri. Dia tidak akan menghancurkan barang berharganya itu untuk laki-laki bajingan yang merupakan suaminya sendiri.

In Make Believe, the fifth explosive installment of the Trios Legacies series, the next generation of wolves, witches, gods, and hybrids must face the fallout of a broken magical world—and a rising evil that refuses to stay buried. When Josefina delivers a dire prophecy in the midst of childbirth—Lucifer is back—it sets off a chain reaction across realms. Three elite teams are dispatched to the fae courts to secure alliances before it's too late: Sebastián and his sharp-tongued witch partner Phoenix navigate Seelie politics and discover Sebastián’s mate is the king’s outcast granddaughter; Jai and the fiery Violet are ambushed en route to the Unseelie Court, only to discover Jai's fated mate is a guarded selkie with secrets of her own; and Aubrey, dropped into the Shadow Court with a witch she can't stand, ends up hunted by the Wild Hunt and entangled with its dangerously magnetic leader.

And Lucifer is building an army. With mates to protect, realms to defend, and fate itself unraveling, the heirs of Arcadia must fight like never before—not just to save the world, but to find where they belong in it.

After the school cafeteria for elementary school kids shut down, I decided to offer meals for all the kids in our building at my home. At the end of the month, when it came time to settle the bill, one of the neighbors wasn’t happy. “The new caterer downstairs only charges $2.50 per meal, but you’re charging us $5! That’s an extra $75 per kid per month. Do you have no shame?” she accused me. I calmly explained that I only used free-range meat and organic vegetables in my meals. But no matter how patiently I tried to reason with them, the parents insisted I refund the difference and demanded I charge no more than $2.50 per meal moving forward. When I lowered my costs to meet their demands, they started accusing me of mistreating their children. They went online to expose me and even reported me to the authorities. The online attacks were relentless. I was fined, and my husband lost his job because of the controversy surrounding me. The stress pushed me into depression, and in the end, I jumped off a building to end it all. When I opened my eyes again, I saw those same parents being swayed by others in the neighborhood to send their kids to the new daycare service that only charged $2.50 a day. What they didn’t know was that the lunch caterer next door did serve meat every day—but it was frozen, diseased pork that had been sitting in storage for two years.
