Only true love can overcome the insidious evil and save their souls. Lisa will just have to search her heart before it's too late and never trust a shadow after dark.

Rule of seduction number four, set the stage and make sure it looks real, if you get caught up in your own web of lies all is lost. Walking past the said couple, accidentally my heels caught on the trail of my dress, and somehow I was in his arms, while half my wine glass emptied down the fine male specimen. Damn, what a waste of good wine. It would have done for other "coughs lightly", more sensual purpose. All rights reserved.

Namanya terukir di tinta hitam yang berdenyut seperti nadi: “Alea S., nafasnya berhenti di bawah cahaya yang pecah.” Teks itu menulis kematiannya—pelan, penuh kenikmatan, seolah mencari makan untuk kepuasan
