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.

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?

"You left without saying a word, Ciana. Hinanap kita, naghintay ako. Umasa akong babalikan mo 'ko dahil baka sakali na maisip mo ako," napatitig ako sa mga mata niyang kulay kayumanggi ngunit lumuluha. "Tapos ngayon babalik ka na para bang walang nangyari?" nakagat ko ang ibabang labi kasabay ng pagyuko sa kaniyang pangunguwestyon. "Sinisisi mo 'ko kasi hindi kita magawang kausapin ng maayos? Pansinin tulad nang dati?" napapikit ako ng matapos niyang sabihin iyon ay hinampas niya ang pader sa aking tabi. "You think I'm okay? Nasasaktan ako Ciana, kahit sorry man lang galing sa mismong bibig mo wala akong natanggap." Tinitigan ko siya ngunit ako mismo ang nasaktan nang umaagos na ang luha sa mga mata niya. "I'm sorry," mahinang sabi ko. "This is not the right time to do that, because I can't f-forgive you for l-leaving me." Malamig niyang sabi ngunit bakas ang hirap sa pananalita. "Mahal kita at nakalimutan kong may gusto ka nga pa lang iba," hindi ko siya makapaniwalang tinitigan dahil sa sinabi sa akin. "I'm leaving." Paalam ni Mateo tapos tumango at lumabas na ng kwarto.
