Chapter 1
Walaupun Taman City terletak di pantai tenggara, setiap kali musim panas tiba, ia tetap panas terik dan sukar ditahan. Jalan-jalan yang biasanya sibuk dan meriah kini sunyi sepi, malah kereta yang lalu-lalang pun hampir tiada.
Bersembunyi di rumput tepi jalan, Li Yunxiao melihat jam tangannya. Hanya tinggal beberapa saat lagi sebelum pukul 12 tengah malam.
Tugas kali ini nampaknya mudah, tetapi dua luka tembakan di badannya belum sembuh sepenuhnya. Kemampuannya mungkin hanya tinggal 70% dari puncaknya. Harap-harap tiada apa-apa yang tidak diingini berlaku. Memikirkan hal itu, dia menarik nafas panjang, menyesuaikan tubuhnya ke keadaan terbaik.
“Fuh…”
Pada masa itu, sebuah BMW merah jambu tiba-tiba muncul dari selekoh tidak jauh dari situ. Kelajuan BMW itu sangat laju, nampaknya pemandunya tergesa-gesa untuk pulang.
“Memang datang juga! Kali pertama nak rasa kemahiran memandu pemandu wanita, rasa agak gementar juga…” Li Yunxiao tersenyum, menunggu sehingga BMW itu hampir melintasi dirinya, dia tiba-tiba melompat keluar dari tepi jalan...
Betul, ini adalah aksi menipu kemalangan! Dan ia dilakukan dengan cara yang kasar dan langsung!
“Bum!”
Satu bunyi kuat kedengaran, impak yang kuat membuatkan Li Yunxiao terpelanting ke belakang, jatuh terhempas di atas jalan konkrit tiga meter jauhnya. Pemandu wanita di dalam BMW merah jambu itu jelas terkejut dengan kejadian yang tiba-tiba itu, mengambil masa lebih sepuluh saat sebelum membuka pintu kereta dan keluar.
Dia kelihatan sangat ketakutan, satu tangan menutup mulutnya, satu tangan lagi menggeletar sambil menunjuk ke arah Li Yunxiao yang terbaring di tanah, tidak dapat berkata apa-apa. Walaupun baru sahaja tamat pengajian universiti, Fu Yunqing sudah mempunyai lesen memandu selama beberapa tahun. Malam ini adalah kali pertama dia mengalami kemalangan jalan raya.
Dengan bantuan cahaya, dia memandang Li Yunxiao yang tidak bergerak. Melihat rambutnya yang kusut, wajahnya yang pucat, dan ada darah yang meresap dari perutnya, dia menjadi semakin cemas, bertanya dengan suara yang bergetar, “Hei… awak, awak ok tak?”
Impak sebegitu tidak memberi apa-apa kesan kepada Li Yunxiao. Jika adegan tadi boleh dilihat dalam gerakan perlahan, akan kelihatan bahawa BMW merah jambu itu tidak melanggar kakinya. Sebab dia terpelanting adalah kerana pada saat perlanggaran, dia menekan bahagian depan BMW dengan kedua-dua tangannya, sambil kakinya menekan tanah dengan kuat, menggunakan inersia untuk melompat ke belakang.
Dengan kemahiran sebegitu untuk menipu kemalangan, sudah tentu ia akan berjaya setiap kali.
Tetapi Li Yunxiao kini rasa sangat tidak puas hati. Darahnya sudah mengalir ke tanah, wanita bodoh ini masih bertanya soalan yang tidak berguna! Dalam situasi sebegini, sudah tentu perkara pertama yang perlu dilakukan adalah membawanya ke kereta dan terus ke hospital!
Sebaik sahaja masuk ke hospital, dia boleh menggunakan kesempatan itu untuk terus melekat padanya, menyelesaikan tugas dengan lancar…
Malangnya, manusia merancang, Tuhan menentukan. Fu Yunqing melihat Li Yunxiao masih terbaring tanpa reaksi, dia semakin cemas, selepas beberapa saat teragak-agak, dia berpusing dan berlari ke arah kereta.
“Sial! Wanita bodoh ini takkan nak melarikan diri dari tempat kejadian, kan?” Li Yunxiao baru sahaja hendak bangun dan berhenti berpura-pura pengsan, tetapi mendapati wanita itu hanya kembali ke kereta untuk mengambil telefon bimbit. Melihat Fu Yunqing mengangkat telefon dan membuat panggilan kecemasan, dia mula ragu-ragu lagi, berdoa dalam hati, “Cik, jangan panggil polis, tolong! Kalau polis terlibat, bagaimana aku nak jelaskan luka tembakan ini? Ah… kalau tahu begini, tak mainlah aksi menipu kemalangan ini!”
Sementara dia ragu-ragu sama ada untuk mengubah rancangannya, Fu Yunqing sudah membuat panggilan, bercakap dengan panik kepada orang di hujung talian, “Xiao Tong… aku, aku rasa aku langgar orang mati! Tadi tanya dia, dia tak ada reaksi langsung, dan nampaknya dia berdarah… aku sangat takut, apa patut aku buat?”
Orang di hujung talian, Xiao Tong, jelas lebih tenang, selepas berfikir sejenak, dia segera bertanya, “Yunqing, jangan panik, beritahu aku sekarang kamu di mana?”
Fu Yunqing melihat papan iklan di tepi jalan, menjawab dengan tergesa-gesa, “Baru sahaja lalu Sinno Mall, tak jauh dari rumah.”
“Ada orang di sekeliling?” Xiao Tong segera memikirkan untuk memastikan tiada saksi.
“Tak ada! Jalan kosong…” Justeru kerana jalan kosong, Fu Yunqing tidak sedar Li Yunxiao melompat keluar.
“Kalau begitu, senanglah. Sekarang cepat-cepat bawa dia masuk ke dalam kereta, terus bawa balik rumah.” Xiao Tong berhenti sejenak, kemudian berkata lagi, “Sekarang masa sensitif, kamu tak boleh terlibat dengan sebarang berita negatif. Kalau kamu dituduh memandu berbahaya, tak kira apa hasil akhirnya, ia akan memberi kesan yang tidak dijangka kepada rancangan penyenaraian syarikat kita.”
Fu Yunqing jelas tidak memikirkan sejauh itu, bertanya dengan keliru, “Ini hanya kemalangan jalan raya biasa, takkan jadi begitu serius?”
“Yunqing, kamu terlalu naif! Dunia perniagaan ibarat medan perang, jangan terpedaya dengan senyuman mesra para CEO syarikat lain. Jika mereka terkesan dengan kepentingan mereka, mereka akan menikam kamu dari belakang. Ingat, jika Tianqi Group berjaya disenaraikan, ia akan memecahkan dominasi tiga pihak sekarang, dan akan mencetuskan perang harga yang dahsyat di pasaran!”
Untuk meyakinkan Fu Yunqing sepenuhnya mengikuti cadangannya, Xiao Tong mengingatkannya lagi, “Jangan lupa, berbanding usaha seluruh syarikat selama lebih setengah tahun, ada satu perkara yang lebih penting. Kita ada perjanjian dengan KawaMatsu Fund dari Jepun. Jika rancangan penyenaraian tahun ini gagal, KawaMatsu Fund boleh memperoleh kawalan penuh ke atas Tianqi Group dengan harga serendah 70 juta USD!”
“Tak boleh! Tianqi Group adalah hasil usaha seumur hidup ayah, tak boleh jatuh ke tangan orang Jepun…” Walaupun berkata begitu, Fu Yunqing memandang Li Yunxiao yang terbaring di tanah, masih ragu-ragu, “Xiao Tong, dia… dia nampaknya benar-benar berdarah, kalau dia mati macam mana?”
“Uncle Fu suruh aku ubah suai BMW itu sebelum pergi ke Jepun. Walaupun kamu tekan pedal minyak sepenuhnya, kelajuan takkan melebihi 100 km/j. Dia takkan cedera parah. Kenapa dia berdarah, kita perlu periksa dulu. Jangan lupa, kawan baikku, Ali, seorang doktor bedah profesional, dan Ziqi sebagai pembantu. Bawa dia balik rumah, sama saja dengan bawa ke hospital.”
“Tapi…”
“Jangan cakap banyak! Melengah-lengahkan hanya akan memburukkan keadaan. Cepat bawa dia balik. Aku akan hubungi Ali, jumpa di rumah dalam lima minit.” Sebaik sahaja kata-kata itu habis, Xiao Tong terus menutup telefon, mungkin untuk menyiapkan bilik perubatan sementara.
Fu Yunqing menggigit bibirnya, akhirnya membuat keputusan untuk membawa Li Yunxiao pulang. Walaupun ada risiko, tetapi memikirkan perjanjian dengan KawaMatsu Fund, dia tiada pilihan lain.
Pada masa itu, Li Yunxiao yang terbaring di tepi jalan tersenyum sinis, sekejap sahaja hilang…

From Best Friend To Fiancé
I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.

Delicate.

Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.

The War God Alpha's Arranged Bride
Yet Alexander made his decision clear to the world: “Evelyn is the only woman I will ever marry.”
Accidentally Yours
Lola Marlowe’s morning-after is a disaster. She’s got a killer hangover, zero memory of Burning Man, and a half-naked, sculpted stranger tied to her bed with her own lavender silk ropes. To make matters infinitely worse, the furious (and frustratingly handsome) “accidental hostage” is Enzo Marchesi, Vegas’s most notorious mafia Don.

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

Crossing Lines
Noah
I was here to prove myself—

I’d make damn sure he never forgot who he belonged to.
