And after years of conditioning- she was able to turn off her feeling of guilt and disgust to get the job done. Maverick Graves on the other hand, was in over his head. While he was able to preform and execute every mission perfectly to a T, he wasn't conditioned into numbness. And while the money is great, it's not enough to drown his internal turmoil. Was he a bad person? Or is he doing the world a favor by removing people who have wronged others? But what happens when Aspen's conditioning and discipline begin to crumble for a person it isn't supposed to? What happens when Maverick finds himself blurring the same lines he and Aspen aren't supposed to erase?

Delapan bulan telah berlalu sejak Kai Morrison dinyatakan hilang. Hingga hari ini. 30 Agustus 2238. Harapan itu akhirnya kembali muncul.

Pada akhirnya, mereka berenam memutuskan berangkat bersama menuju lokasi tersebut. Menuju sebuah titik asing yang bahkan belum mereka pahami. Apakah sinyal itu benar-benar milik Kai Morrison? Atau justru sesuatu yang lain sedang menunggu mereka di sana? Catatan: Kisah ini adalah sekuel dari novel "A Man with 7 Ladies". Have Fun.

**"Anne" was never her real name.** Jane Anterio-once the eldest daughter of a noble family-was forced to abandon everything: her name, her status... her life. Now, she lives under a false identity, hidden in plain sight as a servant in the mansion of a mysterious man - **Elian Varker.** A man of power. Of influence. And of secrets no lighter than her own. In the gaslit streets of Victorian London, where society is bound by rigid rules and shadows conceal far more than they reveal, Jane is drawn into a world of hidden identities, buried truths, and a past that refuses to remain forgotten. Because Elian is not a coincidence. He is a part of the story she tried to escape. And as the truth begins to surface-slowly, relentlessly-Jane will have to make an impossible choice: **Trust the man who may be her only protection... or fear that he may be the very reason she was never safe to begin with.** --- Some names are given. Some are earned. And some are the only thing standing between you and a past that wants you destroyed. -

Simple lang si Yumi. Simple ang buhay, simple ang pangarap. Kahit apat sa pinakamayayamang tagapagmana sa Cheng University ang matalik niyang kaibigan, never niyang hinayaang baguhin ng pera o status ang pagkatao niya. Isa sa mga ito si Miguel Gavin Cheng-ang undisputed leader ng F4 at ang childhood best friend niyang halos buong buhay na niyang kasama. Sa buong campus, iisa lang ang pagkakakilala kay Migo. Gwapo. Mayaman. Untouchable. At ang lalaking walang sinumang gustong makabangga. Kapag nagalit si Migo, walang gustong mapunta sa radar niya. Kilala siya ng lahat dahil sa malamig niyang titig, walang awang paghihiganti, at sa "beast" na personalidad na lumalabas kapag may nagkamali sa kanya o sa mga taong mahal niya. Pero ang hindi alam ng lahat... May isang side si Migo na si Yumi lang ang nakakakita. Siya lang ang nakakaalam kung gaano ka-soft, kaalaga, at ka-protective si Migo kapag silang dalawa lang ang magkasama. Akala ni Yumi, kilalang-kilala na niya ang matalik niyang kaibigan. Pero paano kung isang araw, mapagtanto niyang hindi lang pala ang soft side ni Migo ang matagal nang nakatago... Kundi pati ang totoong nararamdaman nito para sa kanya?

Will they risk everything for love- or lose the only friendship they've ever known? *********************** Hi, Readers! 🤍 This story is inspired by the classic Boys Over Flowers/Meteor Garden, but with my own twist, original storyline, and characters.
