Mandy

My Friend's Father

Rencananya, Selin dan teman-temannya (Maxi, Aria, dan Dylan) malam itu mau menginap di rumahnya Lucian untuk mengerjakan tugas kelompok dari kampus. Mereka sudah kenal Lucian dari semester pertama, tetapi tak pernah main ke rumahnya. Meskipun begitu, mereka tahu bahwa ibunya Lucian sudah lama meninggal dan ia diurus oleh ayahnya seorang. Mereka juga sudah pernah melihat foto ayahnya Lucian, tetapi hanya sebatas selfie. Itu pun foto berdua dengan Lucian. Nah, di hari itu, mereka sepakat untuk mengerjakan tugas kelompok di rumah Lucian karena infonya, ayah Lucian akan kembali besok malam karena masih berada dalam perjalanan bisnis ke luar negeri. Jadi, ketika Selin menumpang mandi di dalam salah satu kamar mandi tamu rumahnya Lucian, Selin benar-benar tak menyangka kalau dia akan melihat wujud ayahnya Lucian yang ternyata bertubuh tinggi dan kekar itu tengah berdiri di depannya, hanya memakai boxer dan membawa handuk, sedikit terkejut karena melihat Selin keluar dari kamar mandi tamunya. Orang yang seharusnya kembali besok malam, mengapa bisa ada di sini?! Lagi pula, buat apa mandi di kamar mandi tamu?! Akan tetapi....sialan. Selin baru sadar bahwa dirinya saat ini hanya memakai handuk! "Astaga! Astaga, ya Tuhan! Maaf, Om!" teriak Selin sembari terbirit-birit ke luar kamar. Sial, ini luar biasa memalukan! Saat Selin sudah mulai tenang, gadis itu berjalan di koridor seraya membatin. Dia tak bermaksud untuk berpikiran mesum, tetapi astaga, itu betulan ayahnya Lucian? Ya Tuhan, seksi sekali. Ayahnya Lucian adalah seorang pria dewasa yang matang, gagah...dan punyanya juga terlihat besar di boxer itu- -eh, sebentar. Baju ganti Selin ketinggalan di kamar tamu tadi!

MY ILLUSION 1

Mandy Morgan thought she had her life figured out—until it all shattered. Working as a competent manager at Vienna Suites in Owerri, Nigeria, Mandy carries the scars of a previous relationship that nearly destroyed her. Lonely yet guarded, she finds unexpected solace in a mysterious online connection with Jayson Anderson, a dark, alluring man who quickly consumes her heart and mind. What starts as a few flirtatious chats soon morphs into something deeper and dangerously intoxicating. Jayson is everything Mandy never thought she needed—dominant, enigmatic, and emotionally elusive. Their late-night conversations become her escape, even as red flags begin to appear. Mandy’s heart overrules her reason. She knows he’s not offering commitment, yet she clings to the illusion that he might change. After two intense months, she travels to Abuja to meet him, and reality hits harder than expected. Jayson is charming in person, just as magnetic as his messages promised—but emotionally distant and cold when she needs him most. Their time together is passionate and unforgettable, yet every tender moment is followed by a wave of detachment. Upon returning to Owerri, Mandy begins to unravel. Jayson becomes less present, more absent, and painfully unreliable. Meanwhile, Nathan Hydes, a wealthy and kind-hearted executive she meets through work, begins to show interest in her. Nathan is everything Jayson is not—attentive, stable, patient. But Mandy is too emotionally entangled in her illusion to truly see him. As weeks pass, Jayson ghosts her, returns with weak apologies, then disappears again, leaving Mandy stuck in a painful limbo of hope and confusion. Her emotional decline becomes visible at work. Rumors among staff about inappropriate affairs trigger Mandy’s fierce sense of professionalism, and she begins to assert control—but inside, she's crumbling. With Christmas around the corner, Mandy’s best friend Hazel arrives from abroad and immediately notices her friend’s decline. Hazel becomes the voice of truth, urging Mandy to wake up and see Jayson for who he really is—a fantasy, a carefully crafted illusion of love. Slowly, Mandy is forced to confront the painful truth: her relationship with Jayson was never real—it was all desire, not devotion. Heartbroken and disillusioned, she begins the long journey toward healing. Even when Nathan expresses his love and offers her a fresh start, Mandy isn’t ready. She’s broken, confused, and lost. But she knows one thing for sure—she has to choose herself this time. My Illusion – Part One is a raw, emotionally gripping dark romance that explores the pain of loving someone who never truly loved you, and the struggle of reclaiming yourself after being consumed by false hope. It’s a haunting journey of desire, deception, and the slow, painful path toward self-discovery.

Masa Lalu Telah Berlalu, Tak Ada Kebencian Maupun Nostalgia yang Tersisa

Masa Lalu Telah Berlalu, Tak Ada Kebencian Maupun Nostalgia yang Tersisa ###### Pada hari pernikahanku, tunanganku tertangkap basah dengan cinta sejatinya, Lily, di dalam kamar mandi, tubuh telanjang mereka terlihat oleh semua tamu. Hasilnya sudah pasti; pernikahan diganti pengantin wanita saat itu juga. Ayahku mengalami stroke karena syok dan meninggal beberapa hari kemudian. Tak mampu menahan kematian mendadak ayahku dan rumor yang beredar, ibuku melompat dari lantai tiga puluh sebuah gedung tinggi. Selama masa tergelap dalam hidupku, aku mengalami masalah psikologis yang parah. Rylan, adik tunanganku, terus berada di sisiku siang dan malam, menyelamatkanku dari banyak usaha bunuh diri. Butuh waktu dua tahun penuh sebelum akhirnya aku pulih. Pada hari pemulihanku, Rylan menyewa yacht paling mewah di kota, menutupi geladaknya dengan sembilan ratus sembilan puluh sembilan mawar, dan memintaku untuk menikah dengannya. Setelah dua tahun kebersamaan yang konstan, aku sudah lama jatuh cinta pada Rylan. Dengan air mata di mata, aku menerima lamarannya. Pada perayaan ulang tahun pernikahan kami yang kelima, aku membawa hadiah yang telah disiapkan dengan cermat, berharap untuk mengejutkannya. Sebaliknya, aku secara tidak sengaja mendengar percakapan antara dia dan sekretarisnya. "Sudah lima tahun. Demi Lily, aku telah menikahi wanita menjijikkan ini selama lima tahun sekarang. Memikirkan untuk merayakan ulang tahun kami bersamanya nanti membuatku merasa mual." Suara sekretaris itu bergetar: "Mr. Sterling, tolong minumlah sedikit. Jika kata-kata ini keluar di depan istrimu, akan sulit untuk menutupinya." "Dan jika Mrs. Sterling mengetahui bahwa tujuh tahun yang lalu, kami menyewa seseorang untuk melepas tabung oksigen ayahnya..." Rylan tidak menunjukkan kepedulian, bahkan mengenakan ekspresi mengejek. "Demi Lily, aku bersedia melakukan apa saja." "Selain itu, aku sudah menyia-nyiakan seluruh hidupku pada jalang itu."

Twin siblings Jade and Jake share an unbreakable bond forged in loss and tested by dark secrets. After their parents died, Jake sought refuge in the Veiled Covenant—a cult that promised college students protection and academic support but ensnares them in dangerous rituals. Determined to safeguard Jade, Jake joins the Covenant, unaware that the cult’s hidden agenda brings more peril than protection. Jade’s life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Alex, a gentle yet mysterious cult member who offers a forbidden love that challenges everything she thought she knew about security and desire. Amid campus unrest and secret meetings held in hidden locations, Pastor Michael—a kind community leader haunted by his own tragic loss, offers guidance to those caught in the Covenant’s grip. Meanwhile, jealousy and betrayal ripple through Jade’s inner circle. Emily, once a loyal childhood friend, betrays Jade by aligning with Victor, a trusted friend of Jake who dreams of rising within the Covenant and harbors a secret crush on Jade. As these loyalties clash, another twist emerges; a reverse harem dynamic complicates matters when Joanna, smitten with Jake, competes for his attention, even though his heart belongs to Mandy—a non-member who remains indifferent, spurred by her own envy of Jade’s brilliance. Caught between the protective love of her twin and the seductive promise of a dangerous passion, Jade must decide which path leads to true freedom. With every secret meeting and ritual, the Covenant tightens its grip, and the stakes grow higher. Love, sacrifice, and betrayal collide in a struggle that will determine not only their futures but also the fate of their world.

TEROR MAHLUK PENJILAT DARAH PEMBALUT

Malam itu, hujan turun semakin deras di kota kecil tempat Lia tinggal. Gemericik air yang menetes dari genting membuat suasana semakin mencekam. Hawa dingin merayap melalui celah-celah jendela kamar kosnya yang sederhana. Lia baru saja selesai mandi, air masih menetes dari rambutnya yang basah. Dengan cepat, ia merapatkan handuk ke tubuhnya sebelum mengenakan pakaian tidur. Namun, ketika ia hendak membuang pembalut bekas ke tempat sampah di kamar mandi, ia merasakan sesuatu yang aneh. Sebuah aroma menyelinap di udara. Bukan bau darah biasa, melainkan sesuatu yang lebih busuk, seperti daging yang membusuk di tempat lembab. Lia bergidik, bulu kuduknya berdiri seketika. Ia menahan napas, mencoba mengabaikan rasa tidak nyaman yang mulai merayap di tubuhnya. Dengan cepat, ia membuang pembalut itu ke dalam tempat sampah dan menutupnya rapat. Namun, perasaan tidak enak tidak hilang begitu saja. Seolah-olah ada sesuatu yang sedang mengawasi dari sudut kamar mandi. Lia menelan ludah, matanya bergerak mengamati sekitar, tetapi tidak ada yang berubah. Kamar mandi tetap seperti biasanya. Cermin di hadapannya berembun, meskipun ia tidak menggunakan air panas. Jantung Lia berdegup lebih cepat. Ia melangkah mendekat dan mengusap embun di permukaan cermin dengan tangannya. Samar-samar, tampak sebuah jejak... seperti lidah yang menjilati kaca. Lia terpaku, darahnya seakan membeku di dalam tubuhnya. Ia mengedip beberapa kali, berharap itu hanya bayangannya sendiri. Tapi tidak, jejak itu tetap ada, bahkan semakin jelas. Seolah-olah sesuatu—atau seseorang—benar-benar menjilati cermin dari dalam. Ia mundur perlahan, tangan gemetar meraih gagang pintu. Ia buru-buru keluar dari kamar mandi dan mengunci pintunya. Namun, ketika ia berbalik menuju ranjangnya, ia mendengar sesuatu. Sebuah suara isapan pelan, seperti seseorang sedang menjilati sesuatu dengan penuh nafsu. "Slepp... slepp..."
