Paraíso

Dikelilingi oleh tiga laki-laki tampan? Siapa sih yang tidak mau? Apalagi mereka udah mapan juga umur yang cukup untuk menikah. Semua impian para perempuan itu ada di dalam kriteria ketiga laki-laki tersebut. Tapi apa jadinya kalau ternyata ketiganya hanya mementingkan satu perempuan yang menyita seluruh perhatian mereka. Raika Catur Wiharja, seorang perempuan berumur 24 tahun yang sudah menjomblo selama dua tahun. Punya tiga kakak laki-laki tampan yang sudah mapan, tapi jomblo akut lebih dari ngenes karena ingin melihat adik bungsunya menikah terlebih dahulu. "Pokoknya kita nggak akan nikah sebelum Adek nikah duluan.” Itulah kira-kira kalimat yang terdengar seperti sumpah yang diucapkan kakak sulungnya dan disetujui oleh kedua kakaknya yang lain. Dan sang adik bungsu (sedikit) galau oleh sumpah konyol tersebut. Bagaimana bisa dia menikah duluan kalau setiap calon tambatan hati yang datang justru ditodong sederet cobaan oleh ketiga kakaknya?

When my Alpha mate, Logan noticed I hadn't submitted a single expense request in three days, he reached out to me on his own for the first time ever. "Baby, I've already approved the next phase of your wolf's healing. See? As long as you learn to behave, there's nothing I won't give you." His tone was still so affectionate, as if he were truly a good Alpha, worried sick over his mate. But he didn't know that as his "Baby" flashed across my phone screen, I had already finished drafting the agreement to sever our mate bond. Before I left, the only thing I could take with me was the old T-shirt I had worn when he marked me. No one would ever believe that the beloved Luna of the Blackmoon Pack, in the three years since our bonding ceremony, couldn't even scrape together five decent dresses of her own. Every household expense I incurred had to be approved by the Luna's seal, the very symbol of my power. "Sienna, managing the books is too tiring. It will wear you out." "Just let Chloe handle the tedious work with the seal. All you have to do is be beautiful, be my perfect Luna." And so, the Luna's seal, which should have been mine, became something I had to beg for from Chloe, the Alpha's secretary who was supposedly "handling the tedious work for me." Three days ago, my wolf was on the verge of collapsing. I cried and begged him for the two hundred thousand needed for an emergency intervention. But Chloe deliberately withheld the seal, delaying approval by claiming improper procedure. Finally, my already fractured wolf went completely silent in the depths of my soul. And with that, I was done with this Alpha, too.

For five years, Marco Falcone was the perfect man. Or so I thought. The illusion shattered on the night of our engagement party, when his mistress crashed it, a five-year-old boy in tow. The boy ran straight to Marco, crying, "Daddy! Daddy, I finally found you!" It had to be some kind of sick joke. But then Marco turned to me, his voice stripped of all warmth. "This is my son, Leo. A… mistake Sofia and I made five years ago." "Leo is the Falcone heir. I have to legitimize them. That means I'll be engaged to Sofia first." "But Lydia, believe me, I still love you. We can have our engagement party in six months. You're going to be the Donna of the Falcone family. I expect you to be generous and understanding. This is non-negotiable." I laughed, a cold, sharp sound, and slid the engagement ring off my finger. My eyes scanned the room and locked on the man in the corner—Lorenzo Moretti, the most powerful Don in New York. He held another title, one only I knew: the man who’d been trying to make me his. "Don Moretti," I called out, my voice clear and steady. "I find myself in need of a new fiancé. Are you interested?"

The first thing my fiance's childhood sweetheart—Eve Hodgson—does after returning from abroad is make me sign a bet. It states that if my fiance—Holden Lane—chooses her over me nine times, I'll have to step aside willingly and let her have him. I agree. On the ninth time, she calls him in tears. "If you don't marry me, Holden, I'll be forced to marry that notorious Croft heir from Jedburgh!" He ends the call in a frenzy and leaves me behind yet again. With his identification documents in hand, he rushes to marry her right away. They announce their marriage to the world on the same day. Elites of Jedburgh strain their necks, eager to see me and the Crofts humiliated. That's when Ryland Croft comes to me, smirking with that careless arrogance of his. "Since your fiance stole my bride, it seems only fair that you pay the debt. So, how about you marry me instead?" I nod and say, "Fair enough. When's the wedding?"

To everyone else, I'm the wife of Stefano Pace, the man who runs this city's underworld. To others, I am living the kind of luxury every woman in town envies. But what no one knows is that in three days, I'm leaving my husband for good. It started when I took Stefano's car to wash and spotted a black stocking that wasn't mine wedged in the passenger seat cushions. It was balled up and still reeked of sickly sweet perfume. The sight of it was like a knife to the heart. I knew that perfume. It is Isla Torelli's. She's Stefano's underboss, the only woman besides me who's ever taken the passenger seat. My hand trembled as I gripped the stocking, but I kept my cool. I thought back to our wedding seven years ago, when Stefano stood in front of the whole family and vowed, "If I ever betray you, then betray me a hundredfold!" He probably did not think those words would come true.

Após o fim da Guerra Húmano-Bestial, ambas as partes acordaram que o mundo seria governado pelos Híbridos. A cada cem anos, realiza-se um Pacto de Sangue: quem primeiro der à luz um Híbrido, esse será o líder da próxima geração da Aliança Híbrida. Na vida passada, escolhi casar-me com o primogênito da Tribo Lobo, famoso por sua devoção amorosa, e fui a primeira a lhe dar um filho, o Híbrido Lobo Branco. Nosso filho tornou-se o próximo líder da Aliança Híbrida, e ele naturalmente obteve um poder imenso. Minha irmã, que se casou por cobiça à beleza do primogênito da Tribo Raposa, acabou por sofrer as consequências das constantes infidelidades dele, contraindo doenças e até mesmo perdendo a fertilidade. Movida pelo ciúme, minha irmã ateou fogo e matou a mim e ao pequeno Lobo Branco. Quando abri os olhos novamente, voltei ao dia do Pacto de Sangue, e minha irmã já havia se adiantado para deitar-se com Samuel, o primogênito da Tribo Lobo. Eu sabia que ela também havia renascido. Mas o que ela não sabia era que Samuel era de natureza cruel e violenta, longe de ser um bom partido!

I'm an heiress who's been bound to a gossip system. Everyone reads my mind on my first day back home after being reunited with my family. "Mom sure has done a good job of maintaining her beauty. It's no wonder she became an OnlyFans streamer after divorcing Dad." My mother is about to berate me for something, but she pales and stops when she hears my thoughts. I glance at the fake heiress, who's weeping pitifully. "My, she's pregnant. Is it John's or Zach's?" My two brothers exchange odd looks. Then, my father arrives. I cluck my tongue. "Oh, it's Dad's."
