I lost him.
I lost everything.
One second, he was mine-the next, he was gone. Stolen by fate, ripped from my grasp like a dream that turns to dust the moment you wake. His absence became a gaping wound, one that bled through every inch of my life. Then, as if grief wasn't cruel enough, the world took everything else. My job. My future. The people I trusted. One by one, they vanished, leaving me in a storm of silence and betrayal.
The dust around me felt thick, toxic, pressing against my ribs. The weight of my own failure crushed me, each breath harder to take than the last. I clawed at the ruins, desperate for something-anything-to hold onto. But pain was the only thing that stayed.
Like a whisper in the dark, a hand reached out. A lifeline wrapped in promises. A new world, a fresh start. I didn't hesitate-I seized it. What other choice did I have?
But the world doesn't welcome the broken. It doesn't forgive those who rise from the ashes. The public saw only what they wanted to see: a woman who had betrayed the life she once had. Their hatred was relentless, venomous, branding me a traitor before they even knew my story.
Still, I fought. I clawed my way up from the abyss, one role at a time, one shattered expectation after another. And when the dust finally settled, I was at the top. The brightest name on the screen. The actress they couldn't ignore.
I thought I had won. I thought I had rebuilt the life they destroyed.
Just when I felt safe, the ground beneath me crumbled once more. The nightmare I thought I escaped was waiting for me in the shadows.
I was forced to marry my ex's rival.

The New Mafia Boss (Under Revisions)
"The past always finds a way to catch up." The rain hammered the streets, but she barely noticed. She was too focused on the weight in her chest-the weight of everything she was trying to escape. She'd left the past behind. At least, that's what she'd convinced herself. When she walked into the room, the tension hit her immediately. The cold stares from everyone around the table made her skin crawl, but it was the figure at the head of the table that stopped her in her tracks. Him. Her ex. The man who had torn her world apart, the one she'd tried so hard to forget. But there he was, sitting casually with an air of power, as if nothing had ever changed. Her heart skipped a beat. She wasn't ready for this. Not now, not here. He looked up, his eyes locking onto hers. There was a flicker of recognition, something almost soft, but it vanished just as quickly. She couldn't breathe. The past had found her. "Didn't expect you to show up," he said, his voice as cold as ever. And just like that, everything she thought she had left behind came rushing back.Cerita Lengkap
Freaky Friday
"I would kill if I have to, I would slit a throat just to prove to you how much I love you and yet here you are, pointing that gun at me as if we didn't share a single t-thing." My voice cracked with desperation as I stopped my tears from falling out of agony. However, despite the current situation I have with her is it so silly of me to still hope that I am only dreaming? Hoping that this isn't real even though the coldness of the metal of the gun under my throat was cold enough to send shivers to my spine. It was cold enough to remind me that the reality I am hoping is the real fantasy. "I can't love you and I can't even bear the thought of loving you. Remember this, I would rather kill myself just to prove to you how much I loathe you." ⚠️Expect a lot of typographical and grammatical errors, and others. I already revised this but mistake is still available. Readers who used to read this before should expect a lot of changes as most of the scenes were revised. Thank you and enjoy!

Black
Hunters and their spears. Rulers and their crowns. That's how the world is cut in half: black and white, good and bad, the hero and the villain---the Raven City, and the silent hills of Argus. That's how it has been. For centuries. Decades. Years. When you're born, you only have two choices: you can live in Raven City where people ought to lead, revolutionize and wear suits, vest and crowns. Or you can go far away from the noise, and live in the green hills of Argus where the tribe's survival lies in their culture and in their forest. The other marches towards advancement and the riches of the world, while the other prevails in silence and preserves the fields. Diana Abella--- a daughter of a tribe chief was born in the green forests and fresh lakes of Argus. Where she ought to hunt and protect her tribe, and where she needs to live by their traditions no matter what. But she wants more. She wants to learn more than peace and leaves. She also wants to see the city lights, she wants to hold a pen, and she also wants to ride cars. Even though the world disagrees, Diana knows that it wasn't always black and white; there must be something in-between, something that already crossed that bridge between the people of Raven and the people of Argus. Something that has the same desire as hers. Or someone. It could be Antonio Dmitri, one of the biggest and powerful business tycoons of Raven, and one of the most influential person despite retreating to his very private life. But no matter how powerful and fierce Antonio is, Diana knows better. She knows he doesn't belong in Raven City. Because she knows him, he was born in the same fields she grew up in. Argus. Diana will do everything to go beyond her chains no matter what happen. By hook or by crook, she'll go to the Raven City through Antonio. Even if it means becoming his biggest enemy...and eventually, his wife. ---- All Rights Reserved. 2024 Full credits to the rightful owner of the image in the book cover.
