Selama tiga tahun terakhir, Ariana Ari Harlow telah memberikan segalanya untuk suaminya. Mereka menikah karena saudara perempuannya memilih untuk lari pada malam pernikahan, karena ia percaya rumor bahwa Nelson Corporation bangkrut. Ari mencintai Noah sejak usia 16 tahun, ia pikir ini adalah mimpi yang menjadi kenyataan. Namun, dia tidak tahu bahwa saudara perempuannya telah menggali perangkap untuknya, dan ini bukan awal kehidupan baru, melainkan neraka baru baginya. Ia terpaksa menghentikan pendidikannya sebagai dokter karena Nyonya Nelson yang terhormat tidak bisa memiliki tangannya tertutupi darah. Ari menyetujuinya. Untuk Noah, ia menjadi istri yang sempurna yang merawat mertua dan suaminya. Namun, yang menanti dia tidak lain hanyalah penghinaan, suaminya malu padanya dan ibu mertuanya berpikir bahwa saudara perempuannya, Ariel, lebih cocok untuk anaknya. Namun, Ari bertahan. Dia berpikir suatu hari dia akan dapat menghangatkan hati suaminya. Namun dia memergokinya berciuman dengan saudara perempuannya! Patah hati, Ariana memutuskan untuk bercerai dengan suaminya, tapi entah bagaimana dia malah terlibat dengan Nicolai. Musuh dan saingan suaminya. Mereka tidak ditakdirkan untuk bersama. Namun Nicolai tampaknya tidak peduli dengan rintangan yang menumpuk di hadapan mereka. Bahkan, dia bertekad untuk masuk ke dalam kehidupan Ari dan membakarnya. Dalam keadaan mabuk, suatu kali dia memegang lehernya mendekat ke dinding pub kumuh, “Kau boleh menyangkal sebanyak yang kau mau, putri, tapi kau menginginkanku.” Matanya melirik dada Ari yang naik turun dan matanya semakin gelap, merahnya tampak tak terkendali, posesif seolah dia ingin mencabik jiwa dari tubuhnya dan menyematkannya ke dalamnya sendiri. “Taruhan jika kupandang, kamu akan basah untukku.” Panas membara di pipi Ariana saat dia mendengus, “Diam.” “Buat aku,” kata Nicolai saat dia menumbukkan bibirnya di bibirnya. Ciumannya membakar jiwa Ariana, dan kehangatannya menyengat kulitnya setiap kali mereka bersentuhan. Ia berpikir bahwa kesalahan terbesarnya adalah terlibat dengan Nicolai. Namun, Ari segera menyadari dengan cara yang sulit, Secara harfiah, diinginkan oleh mimpi buruk seindah itu jauh lebih buruk daripada sebuah kesalahan. Dan situasi menjadi rumit ketika suaminya menemukan kebenaran tentang segalanya. “Temak hatiku, Ari,” kata Noah saat dia menempatkan moncong pistol di mana hatinya berada. “Karena hidup tanpa kamu adalah hidup yang tidak kuinginkan, jadi tembaklah aku atau kembalilah. Aku memohon padamu.” Sekarang Nicolai telah memberinya pilihan, akankah Ari jatuh cinta dengan dia dan melompat ke dalam kehidupan yang penuh dengan bahaya? Atau akankah dia kembali ke suaminya, Noah, yang telah ia cintai sejak ia berumur 16 tahun? Dan akankah Ariana menghindari bahaya yang mengintai dalam kegelapan, menunggu dia untuk melakukan kesalahan dan kehilangan segala sesuatu yang berharga baginya? Akankah dia menemukan kunci dari semua rahasia yang mengikat dirinya dengan Noah dan Nicolai serta takdirnya yang rumit? ******* Potongan: “Ini semua tentang uang, bukan? Ambil itu dan hilang,” Dia berteriak sambil melemparkan kartu hitam ke wajah Ariana. Ariana tidak percaya dengan telinganya ketika dia mendengar suaminya atau calon mantan suaminya menghina dia seperti ini. Tiga tahun. Ariana Harlow memberikan Noah Nelson, tiga tahun dan namun ketika dia memergokinya berciuman dengan saudara perempuannya yang lebih tua, Ariel—— ini yang dia katakan kepadanya. “Saya akan menceraikanmu,” Ari menyatakan dan pergi. Dia pergi tanpa sepeser pun tetapi Ari tersandung ke Nicolai. Musuh dan saingan suaminya, pangeran Mafia kota Lonest, bajingan terkenal karena kecenderungan kekerasannya. Pertemuan malang itu meletakkan dia di jalur Nicolai, dan begitu saja dia menatapnya. Pertama kali mereka bertemu, Nicolai memintanya untuk mengundangnya makan malam. Kedua kali mereka bertemu, dia memberinya sejuta dolar. Ketiga kali mereka bertemu, dia menyatakan, “Kamu akan terlihat bagus di pelukanku, bagaimana menurutmu putri?” ********

Mark of the Hunt

Am I going insane? The thought slithers into my mind the moment I wake up, cold and disoriented, in a place that feels more like a nightmare than reality. My head is empty, my memories wiped clean, leaving behind only a suffocating void where my identity should be. The walls around me are smeared with something dark—blood, maybe. Symbols, jagged and unfamiliar, carve into the surfaces as if someone tried to leave a message… or a warning. But none of it makes sense. Nothing here makes sense.  I try to grasp at something—anything—but the harder I reach, the faster it slips through my fingers, like smoke dissolving in the air. My pulse pounds as I force myself to move, each step foreign, like I’m controlling a body that doesn’t belong to me. A name. A purpose. Something to tell me who I am. But there’s nothing. Only fragments, pieces that refuse to fit together. Then the games begin. Survival. That’s all it’s supposed to be. Do what you’re told, follow the rules, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll make it out alive. But I learn quickly that this isn’t just about survival. It’s about control. It’s about twisting reality until I don’t know what’s real and what’s a lie. The other players are just as lost, just as desperate, but I can see it— But they aren’t like me. Some of them know more than they’re letting on. Some of them… aren’t afraid. The more I search for answers, the more the world unravels. Reality bends. Faces blur. Voices whisper from places they shouldn’t. Every time I think I’m close to the truth, it twists away from me, leaving me drowning in questions I can’t answer. The line between what’s real and what’s in my head has thinned to nothing, and I don’t know if I can trust my own mind anymore. Who am I? Maybe it’s better that I don’t know. Maybe knowing would break me beyond repair. Or maybe… maybe I was never meant to leave this place at all. I used to think I was just confused, just lost in the chaos. But now? I was definitely insane.

Treachous path

In the heart of New York City, where towering skyscrapers reached for the heavens and the pulse of ambition beat ceaselessly, Sterling Enterprises stood as a monument to success. Its sleek glass facade mirrored the sun’s brilliance by day and the city’s vibrant lights by night. Inside its walls, the world of high-stakes business thrived, driven by the vision of its formidable CEO, Nathaniel Sterling. Nathaniel was a man forged by both triumph and turmoil. His rise to power had been marked by relentless drive, sharp intellect, and an unyielding will. He commanded respect with every decision and led Sterling Enterprises through waves of change with a steady hand. But the greater the success, the more dangerous the waters became. Amidst this world of high finance and power struggles, a new player had entered the arena—a bright and ambitious intern named Emma Clarke. Emma had come to Sterling Enterprises with dreams of making her mark, and her intelligence and resilience quickly set her apart from her peers. She navigated the competitive environment with a determination that caught Nathaniel’s attention. Their paths crossed under the most ordinary of circumstances: a chance meeting in the office elevator, a brief conversation over a coffee break. Yet, beneath the surface of these seemingly mundane interactions, a spark ignited—a connection neither fully understood but both felt deeply. As Emma’s role at Sterling Enterprises expanded, she found herself increasingly drawn into Nathaniel’s orbit. Her professional acumen and unflinching loyalty earned her a place in his inner circle, but it also exposed her to the dangers lurking in the shadows of the corporate world. Nathaniel, for his part, was both intrigued and unsettled by Emma. She was a breath of fresh air in the cutthroat world he inhabited, her presence a stark contrast to the scheming and duplicity that often surrounded him. Yet, as his feelings for her deepened, so did the stakes. The walls of his fortress were not impregnable, and enemies lurked in the corners, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Unbeknownst to them, the very connection that brought them closer would also set the stage for the greatest challenge of their lives. A storm was brewing on the horizon, one that would test their resolve and push their relationship to its limits. A rival’s ambition and a hidden agenda would soon collide with their growing love, casting a shadow over their future. As the city thrummed with energy and the ambitions of those who sought to control it, Nathaniel and Emma stood at the precipice of a tumultuous journey. The choices they made would determine not only their fates but also the future of Sterling Enterprises. In the whirlwind of corporate intrigue and personal upheaval, they would have to navigate a treacherous path. Their love story would be one of fiery passion and fierce loyalty, forged in the crucible of conflict and uncertainty. And as the first cracks of the storm began to show, neither Nathaniel nor Emma could foresee the full extent of the trials that awaited them. But one thing was certain: their lives would never be the same again.
