"Let's end this marriage, Nicholas," I said while handing over the divorce papers to Nicholas, the man who married me three years ago to get a nanny for his child. Unexpectedly, the man, who usually had a cold face, looked at me in surprise. "What?" His thick eyebrows almost knitted together. "What do you mean, Sabrina?" "I know you never loved me," I replied in a trembling voice, staring at his closeness to the beautiful woman next to him, his ex-wife who had just returned, Hazel. "Therefore, I will not bother you anymore. You can live happily with Hazel and Charlie... without me." When I was about to get up, the man suddenly pulled my hand, making me fall into his embrace. "What—" "No, Sabrina...." His baritone whisper made me shiver. His embrace around my waist tightened. "There will never be a divorce between us!" My eyes widened. Doesn't this man love me? Then why did he refuse my request for a divorce?

The night I discovered my husband’s whore was carrying his heir, I smiled for the cameras—and plotted his ruin. Scarlett was born a queen—heir to a powerful legacy, Luna of the Dark Moon Pack by blood and by sacrifice. She gave everything to Alexander: her love, her loyalty, her life. In return, he paraded his mistress before their pack... and dared to call it duty. But Scarlett won't be another broken woman weeping in the shadows. She’ll wear her crown of thorns with pride, tear down every lie built around her, and when she strikes, it will be glorious. The Alpha forgot that the woman he betrayed is far more dangerous than the girl who once loved him.

**Evelyn Karamazov** I’ve spent all twenty-three years of my life immersed in the world of the mafia, groomed to rule with an iron fist. But power in our world doesn’t come without a price, and that price is marriage—a union built on strategy rather than so-called love. It’s the last thing I want, but in this life, sacrifices are the currency we trade in. And if I have to choose, I’ll sacrifice to the devil I know rather than the angel I don’t. But make no mistake, a sacrifice is still a sacrifice, and it demands its due. **Killian Bandini** Sixteen years—that’s how long I’ve waited to exact my revenge. Sixteen years to drown in nightmares, consumed by guilt and the unyielding desire to set things right. My father is dead, and now the Bandini empire is mine. The time has come to collect what is owed, and God help those who wronged me, because they will pay with blood. ★ What happens when the most lethal, most infuriating man to ever walk the earth crashes your wedding, puts a bullet in your would-be husband’s head, and holds everyone at gunpoint just to ensure you marry him instead? Killian Bandini doesn’t ask; he takes. But if he thinks I’m some meek bride to be bartered and controlled, he’s dead wrong. I may have to marry him, but I sure as hell won’t make it easy. He’s come for blood and power, but he doesn’t know that I’m not just a pawn—I’m a queen, and this game has only just begun.

Benda. Apa yang terbesit pertama kali di kepala kita saat mendengar kata benda? Bukankah benda hanya benda. Tetapi katanya benda mampu menyimpan kenangan. Katanya benda juga mampu merasakan dan mentransfer energi akan ingatan kepada orang lain. Pernahkah kalian merasakan kekosongan aneh saat berada di dekat suatu benda? Atau pernahkah kalian secara tidak sadar mendengar benda berbisik di telinga? Jika tidak kalian beruntung. Sebab aku terlahir bersahabat dengan benda. "Ia sering terpuruk sendirian. Tak ada yang peduli. Tak ada yang sadar. Kami menjadi saksi bisu rasa sakitnya." Lemari itu membisikkan kalimat penuh penderitaan padaku. Seolah-olah ia merasakan apa yang dirasakan pemilik kamar ini. "Ia tidak pernah bahagia sekalipun hidup di rumah ini. Kebahagiaannya hanya satu. Saat kamu datang dan merangkulnya pagi itu." Gagang pintu yang kusentuh tanpa diminta bercerita. Aku hanya laki-laki bisa. "Rio, jangan menyalahkan diri sendiri." Begitu ucap mereka. Hingga suatu harii aku terjebak di jalan berkelok yang seharusnya tak pernah ku lalui. Hari itu sabtu malam yang kelam dan aku berhasil menemukan jalan masuk. Festival yang tak pernah kulihat dimanapun. Pesta kembang api pertama dalam hidupku. Lalu kejanggalan apa ini? Tidak ada habis-habisnya. Hari terus berganti. Namun mereka tak pernah berhenti. Dalam hati aku bertekad aku harus keluar dari tempat ini. Akankah benda-benda ini mampu membantuku keluar dari kurungan tak berujung ini? Atau aku malah akan terus terperangkap? Sial. Kembang api pertama dalam hidupku malah mengakhiri segalanya. Hidup, keluarga bahkan cinta pertamaku.
