Perna To Rachel & Derek, Thank you for everything! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the last heir of Ardel lost everything, fate would bring her to her rightful protector. Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night." Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman." --- Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and become celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities. Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her. For the first time, he felt an overwhelming instinct to protect and claim her as his own. Unaware of his deepening affection, he belatedly realised his feelings as he stood on the brink of losing her. Bound by a soul-binding spell, their fates intertwined…

Five years ago, everything shattered. An accident. A baby. A goodbye with no turning back. She vanished from the world she once knew, pregnant and alone. No degree. No future. Just her, a secondhand car, and a daughter who calls her “mama” between cheap takeout meals and midnight Didi runs. By day, she's invisible. By night, she drives circles around a city that’s too big for broken dreams. She’s used to passengers coming and going, until he gets in her car. The man she once loved. The father of her child. But she doesn’t recognize him. And he? He never forgot her. That man is Kellan Elliott, young CEO of the elite Elliott Group. Cold, untouchable, and far too late. When fate throws Rachel and Kellan back into the same orbit, things don’t explode. They simmer. Kellan doesn’t know the truth. Rachel doesn’t want his pity. And caught in the middle is a little girl who keeps calling the stranger in the suit “Daddy.” But uncovering the truth could break all of them apart... or finally bring them the family they never got to be. This is a secret baby story. One person. One city. One car. One beloved. I’ve driven every road in this city. Will you ever find your way back to me?

Three years ago, Rachel was dragged into a nightmare she didn’t create. A woman named Camila died in a car crash, and Rachel took the fall. But Camila wasn’t just anyone, she was the fiancée of Jeffrey Gray, the cold, powerful man who controlled Shen City like it was his personal chessboard. That night, everything shattered. Her boyfriend, Ralph Patel, ditched her like she was nothing. Her own family treated her like dirt. Her name was ruined. Her heart broken beyond repair. No one even cared if she was guilty or not. She went to prison without a single word of defense. Three years passed. She got out with no money, no help, and no one waiting for her. But she didn’t cry. She didn’t complain. She became a sanitation worker, quietly cleaning the streets of the very city that once chewed her up and spit her out. Then came the night it all changed. Rain poured. She was soaked and exhausted. That’s when a man in a black suit stopped in front of her. His voice was cold enough to freeze her in place. His eyes sharper than knives. Neither of them knew the truth. She didn’t know he was that Jeffrey. He didn’t know she was that Rachel. But fate doesn’t forget. And it never plays fair. When secrets start to unravel and old wounds are torn open, the entire city is shaken. Because the girl they trampled on isn’t the same anymore. This time, Rachel’s not here to beg. She’s here to rise, from the ashes, from the lies, from everything they buried her under. And the people who betrayed her? She’ll make sure they remember what they did. He once destroyed her life. Now, he can’t stay away from her. But Rachel... Her heart’s already frozen.

Se você quiser saber mais sobre a capa: Sim, essa é a Luna, a FL... A pele e as roupas dela estão se transformando em escamas cintilantes por causa de seu poder de dragão. Lembra da Sailor Moon? Garotas mágicas? Agora imagine se a roupa mágica não fosse um vestido fofo, mas um dragão de verdade! O dragão é o vestido... Não é apenas moda; é fusão.

Rachel membeku di tempat, ini seperti dejavu. Ia merasa seperti pernah mengalami kejadian ini sebelumnya. Berada di lift berdua bersama Danique dan lelaki itu mengajaknya berciuman. "TIDAK, INI CUMA MIMPI!" teriaknya. "Mimpi? Ini nyata, Sayang," Danique memundurkan badannya karena kaget oleh teriakan gadis itu. Benar-benar membingungkan, Rachel pernah mengalami ini tetapi di dunia mimpi. Ia terbangun waktu itu karena melihat sesuatu yang ganjil di dada lelaki itu. Rachel menggeleng dan memegang dahinya. "Mengapa, Sayang? Pusing?" ucap Danique dengan lembut. "Tidak, minggirlah," Rachel menggeser kakinya menghindari Danique. Lelaki itu berbahaya, mulutnya manis dan lembut tetapi isi otaknya tidak mungkin tidak berisi kebrengsekan. "Ada yang salah denganku?" Melihat tingkah Rachel, Danique semakin bingung. Baru kali ini Ia melihat Rachel pucat pasi, bibirnya memutih dan sangat ketara karena menggunakan lipstick yang tipis. "Tidak, hanya saja Kau berbulu," racau Rachel sembari masih memijit keningnya. "Hah, berbulu? Enak saja, aku tidak berbulu. Apakah Kau pernah melihatku melepas baju? Sini kuperlihatkan dada telanjangku," mendengar tuduhan Rachel, Danique mengotot. Danique melepas kancing jas hitamnya tetapi seketika dihentikan oleh Rachel. "Hei, mesum! Apa yang Kau lakukan? Hentikan!" Danique hanya tertawa, Ia pun mengikuti gadis itu keluar lift dengan sedikit lega. Sedangkan dalam hati Rachel, masih terpatri beberapa pertanyaan tentang kejadian di lift. Ia pernah mengalami itu dalam mimpinya, Ia masih ingat padahal sudah sembilan puluh lima tahun berlalu. Dalam mimpi tersebut, Rachel berteriak lantang karena menyadari apa yang Ia alami hanya mimpi. *** Mahaya Liliana 2 Juni 2022
