Novel & Cerita Ask Iwata

I was supposed to be preparing for the end not craving a life I can’t have. At twenty-two, my world is already shrinking. A failing heart. A future that feels more like a countdown and a love that’s safe enough to survive it. Nathan gives me everything certain, the kind of love that doesn’t ask for more than I can give. Then there’s Kai. My boyfriend’s best friend, the one person I should never want. He doesn’t treat me like I’m fragile or temporary. With him, everything is louder, sharper… real in a way I haven’t felt since before my life became something to manage instead of live. He makes me want things I buried a long time ago—risk, freedom, more. But wanting him means breaking everything. And choosing safe might mean losing myself before my heart ever gives out.

After lights-out, I make my roommates play with an Ouija board with me. Being the scaredy-cat she is, my roommate decides to ask something stupid, "Where did my earphones go?" I almost burst out laughing. I can't believe she's using it to find her earphones. To our surprise, the planchette starts to move. It spells out, "It's under your bed beside the eye." We exchange glances in confusion. What eye? I snort and get out of bed. Using my phone's flashlight, I check under the bed. Nothing is there. Before I can make fun of my roommate for being superstitious, the door slams open. The student who stays next door barges into our room, her face as pale as a sheet. Her voice trembles as she shouts, "Wake up! Everyone on campus is going wild! Someone found an eyeball in our dorm!"

When Alina, a psychology student about to graduate, finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, she becomes a bargaining chip in her brother's debt. Taken to an isolated mansion in the mountains, she falls into the hands of Dante Morelli—a cold, impenetrable, and lethal man—the kind of man who doesn’t ask, he demands. She was supposed to be just a hostage, a pawn. But Dante doesn’t follow rules. He watches her. Provokes her. Touches her. And when she tries to resist, he turns the cell into a luxurious room... and pain into desire. What begins as hatred transforms into something far more dangerous: attraction. And when she becomes pregnant with his child, Alina thinks she’ll finally be set free. But Dante isn’t willing to let her go. Now she’s not just his prisoner. She’s the mother of his child. And he doesn’t share what’s his. Ever.

"Who are you?" I ask, gawking at this ugly man who looks like the devil himself. "Your savior." savior? I may not remember anything from my past, but one thing is for sure, according to my judgment: this monster-lookalike can't be a savior. And from whom did he supposedly save me? "And if you are done ogling me, now, on your knees. Time to serve the purpose for which I saved you." I am snapped out of my thoughts by him tearing his shirt and walking closer in a pretty unnerving way. "Whi...ch is?" I whimper, trying to stand up from the bed and perhaps run for my dear life. Unfortunately, he grabs me viciously before I can take a step. A loud growl slips from my lips as he slams me back on the bed and hovers atop me. "To please me, little dove." He hoarses, embarking on his evil, dirty mission.

At the heart of the renovated Hideaway Resort is an antique 8-foot-tall archway mirror whose carved frame seems to shift when no one’s looking. It starts with whispers, stray reflections, and dreams that feel borrowed. Then the island’s old legends surface: a sealed gate, a fallen house, and a war that never really ended. Scott Michaels—restless, big-hearted, and in way over his head—stumbles into a fight he didn’t ask for when a weathered priest and his mysterious apprentice reveal the mirror’s true name…and the thing tethered to it. With Faith at his side and a blade that burns for whoever dares to love more than fear, Scott must choose: run from the darkness, or cut the anchor that’s been feeding it for generations. Equal parts family drama, coastal gothic, and high-stakes supernatural thriller, The Devil’s Mirror turns a sunlit island into a labyrinth of reflections, where the danger isn’t just what creeps in the shadows—but what looks exactly like you.

My husband is the director of a private hospital. During the three years of work, he would always find his "female best friend" with all kinds of excuses. The first time he went, he bought me a new purse I had been longing for. The second time he went, he credited one thousand dollars to the beauty salon I frequented. Only after he gave his family member's spot for the hospital's retreat did I finally ask for my one-hundredth request. He simply signed the form, thinking that it was some kind of order for a luxurious item. "I've neglected you lately. Shall I take you to see the aurora after I come back this time?" When he gracefully gave me that promise, I calmly smiled. That was because he didn't know the last thing I asked him to sign was divorce papers.
