Unexpected Romance: Love $ Hustle

Twenty-eight year old Delilah Sterling, has perfected the art of being a respectable realtor by day, and a professional gold digger by night. Delilah believes she has her double life under control. Her meticulously crafted life crumbles when she wakes up one morning with a wedding band on her finger, a marriage certificate on the table, and a sinfully gorgeous man claiming to be her husband. To make matters worse, he is broke and jobless, making her feel trapped in a surreal nightmare. Desperate for escape, Delilah demands a divorce, but the stranger—insisting he wants to stay married—thwarts every attempt. Frustration and confusion mount until Delilah hatches a new plan: she proposes they team up to con her next target, the elusive billionaire, Hunter Quinn. What Delilah doesn't realize is that her "broke husband" is actually Hunter Quinn himself. Billionaire CEO, Hunter Quinn, having discovered Delilah’s intentions to con him, had decided to outplay her at her own game. Hunter agrees to the partnership, and together they plunge into a high-stakes game of deceit. As they plot and scheme, the lines between pretense and reality blur. Their forced proximity ignites an unexpected chemistry, leading to moments of vulnerability and genuine connection neither anticipated. Caught in a whirlwind of deception, passion, and power plays, Delilah grapples with their growing feelings. As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again? ****Exerpt**** Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)

Garuda's Daughter Is THE King

!! WARNING!! BIKIN PENASARAN KATANYA!! BURUAN AKTIFKAN *PREMIUM* Aku terdiam, terheran, tidak percaya, dan segala jenis rasa bingung lainnya. Melihat anak didepan ku yang menatapku dengan tatapan mata yang aneh dan tidak tersenyum. Apa dia tidak diajari sopan-santun dimasa kecilnya? "Jangan menatapnya begitu. Orang Tuanya membuangnya sejak dulu. apa itu menjawab pertanyaan mu? Jadi kau mau atau tidak mengurusnya?" "Kau menghina ku hah?! Mana mungkin Pemimpin DeepDarkSide seperti ku mau-...!!" Tubuhku tertarik paksa untuk berlutut didepan anak itu. Ekspresi anak itu menggelap seketika. Menatap ku dengan tidak suka dan sepertinya benci sekali pada ku. Apa karna aku membentak pengasuhnya? Mata ku dan anak itu bertemu. "Jangan bercanda! Dia Bukan Raja!!!" ____ Waktu berputar entah cepat atau lambat.... Tak menghiraukan sakitnya seluruh tubuh ku.. Aku mengabaikan rasa panas membakar sayap di punggung ku.. Memaksakan berlari menuju kamar nya.. "MINGGIR!!!!" aku membuka paksa pintu mewah kamar nya yang dihalangi oleh beberapa pengawal. Menerobos masuk ke dalam kamar nya meski sebenarnya tak sanggup menahan berat tubuh ku sendiri. Para pelayan menatap ku bingung dan tidak bisa berkata-kata. Aku menoleh pada Wayne, "Bagaimana dian-...." ucapan ku dipotong.. Wayne menatap ku iba lalu menggelengkan kepala, "Urat nadi nya nyaris putus semua.... Hanya tersisa 4 benang jantung yang masih terhubung...." Aku jatuh berlutut.... Putri ku sekarat......

Just show me Your Love

_Putri Aku selalu mencintaimu, karena kamu adalah lelaki yang memberiku banyak kebahagiaan. Meski kamu jauh kebahagiaan yang kamu berikan tak berkurang. Walau begitu terkadang masih ada kekosongan karena dirimu yang tak ada di samping ku. Hari tenang yang sudah terencana dengan baik akan kah terwujud? Aku yang menanti kepulangan mu dengan tenang dan menyibukan diri dengan keseharian yang menyenangkan, bermain dengan teman-teman atau mengunjungi orangtua mu. Aku sudah mengatur semuanya agar bisa lekas bertemu dengan mu yang jauh di sana. Hari-hari ku yang penuh tawa selalu terasa kurang tanpa dirimu yang semakin sibuk di sana. Aku coba untuk pahami kesibukan mu, tapi entah mengapa perasaan hatiku tak tenang memikirkan mu yang jauh di sana bersamanya. Bukannya aku tak percaya padamu, hanya saja aku khawatir kalau ada yang lebih baik dariku dan mungkin kamu menyukai nya. Meski kamu tak berniat memiliki nya tapi tetap saja kamu menyukai nya. Itu lah yang aku lihat saat menemuimu di sana, tatapan hangat itu membuat ku kesal dan marah. _Bayu Kesibukan yang ku alami tak membuat ku lupa tentang mu, setiap hari aku merindukan mu. Meski setiap hari bertukar kabar dengan mu, aku tetap merindukan mu. Tapi tiba-tiba saja dia datang mengguncang hatiku, aku memang masih memikirkan mu tapi dia juga muncul di benak ku. Apa aku kehilangan akal? Itulah yang aku pikirkan saat perasaan itu muncul, semakin berusaha untuk lepas darinya semakin kuat cengkraman nya menari ku kedasar. Walau aku memikirkan mu tapi aku juga tak bisa lepas darinya, mau kah kau memaafkan aku?
