the lost boys by faye kellerman

Fu Nanli, the flight captain and sole heir to the Fu Consortium, lost his memory in an accident. He could not remember anything about his family, identity, or status. He only remembered Wen Qiao, who had risked his life to save her before the accident. "You are?" Wen Qiao said shamelessly, "I'm your wife." Young Master Fu was confused, but he only remembered one person. If she said yes, then so be it. The cold and noble Prince Charming had been snatched away by a wild girl from nowhere. All the socialites in Harbor City were enraged. All the socialites gathered 100 million yuan. They had to tear off the fake mask of a certain vixen, Wen Qiao. However, all they got, in the end, was the marriage of the century. The wife he got after losing his memory, when he regained his memory, would still be the person he loved the most in his life. If everything was guided by fate, then he would be grateful for such an encounter, that was what Fu Nanli believed. yuan to rip off the vixen Wen Qiao’s mask and expose her lies. Yet, there is nothing they can do to stop the 'wedding of the century' from taking place. Just like that, one hundred million yuan is gone in a flash! Uttering cries of anguish, the socialites simply can’t fathom why this is happening. "Everyone says Young Master Fu is shrewd and adept at scheming. Why did he fall for the deceitful little vixen?!” With an arrogant gaze, the man muses dotingly, “If I didn’t play along, how was I to abduct the little fox and take her home?”

"Please, I have to go home." That's what I told the man in front of me. I begged him to let me go, but in my heart, I pray he never will.  How crazy is that? How can I feel safer with a stranger I've just met than the man who was supposed to love me until death? Why does he look at me like I'm the most beautiful thing in the world? Does he see the bruises? Is that why he's doing this? I should've never left the house, but I couldn't let him win. Not this time, but I hadn't counted on this. "He'll never hurt you again." I want to believe those words, but I don't know if I can. What if I'm going crazy? What if it's all a dream, and I wake up in the nightmare that's my life? I shouldn't trust him, but gods, why does his voice affect me like this? Why does he smell like lightning storms and heather? "Nefretiri? Do you know what a mate is?" No, he didn't just say that! Life isn't supposed to be this dark. That's what Nefretiri Jordans believed until her world came crumbling down. Her marriage was now a game of slave and master, and she would never win. Not when her husband was cruel enough to bring his mistresses to the house and act like Nefra was nothing more than a servant. She wants to run, but she can't. He'll never let her go, especially not with their new daughter. So, she has no choice but to live in hell and do her best to stay sane. Unfortunately, that line of sanity suddenly breaks when Ricky goes too far, and Nefra makes a stupid choice. After all, it's just a cake. Who cared about that?  Fate has a cruel sense of humor, and Nefra quickly learns that nothing is by chance. So, what started as a painful but necessary trip to the store turned into an unexpected adventure.  After all, she never put mate on her shopping list. Not that it mattered to Ivan. The Alpha of the Sebryanny Kinzhal pack from Colorado who's slowly coming back from a year of hell. All he wanted was to find peace and figure out what he was supposed to do with his life. The moon goddess had an answer, and she set him up to find the one thing he needed to be saved.  So, when Nefra crashed into his truck and he saw her, Ivan knew she was his destiny. Unfortunately for him, she's not on board and seems to belong to someone else. If Ivan wants Nefretiri to be his, he'll need to do more than earn her trust. Dark secrets are waiting to devour both of them, and more than one enemy is watching in the shadows to claim what both unknowingly hold.  Somehow, they must get past their pain to find each other and build something neither believed was possible again. Finally, it's time to put the cards on the table and bet it all. If they win, their lives will be more than either of them could ever dream, but if they lose, the darkness will destroy more than one life.

In a group-pampering novel, Nan Qiao was the female supporting character who lost her glamor as the female lead. She was cast aside by her father, her three brothers, her grandparents, and her friends. Her father wanted to cut off all ties with her, her three brothers only adored her stepsister, and her grandparents, who favored boys over girls, also sided with her stepsister from another mother. "Stop trying to tie me down. The person I love is Zhi," Nan Qiao's fiance said. "Nan Qiao, will you stop being so problematic? Your sister saved your life," her father said. "Nan Qiao, I'm very disappointed in you," her eldest brother said. "How could you hit your sister? Don't you know how fragile your sister's body is?" Her second brother asked. "I can't believe you're such a heartless person," her third brother said. "Kick her out. The Nan family won't tolerate such a horrible child!" Her grandparents exclaimed. After reincarnating, Nan Qiao came to her senses. Since none of you want me here, I'll be the first to leave this time. Nan Qiao inherited assets worth billions from her maternal grandfather, and her seven brothers from the maternal side of her family pampered her beyond reason. Her eldest brother was the CEO of a company, her second brother was a famous celebrity, and her third brother was a professor... They fought each other for her attention. Just as Nan Qiao's life was getting better, a top-notch villain in the original novel set his sights on her. Huo Yichen pinched Nan Qiao's chin and squinted a little. There was a cold look in his eyes. "What's the matter? Do you think you can run away after flirting with me?" *** Nan Qiao thought everything that happened in the past would stay in the past, but her family, like her, reincarnated with memories from the previous lifetime. Having tortured her a thousand times over, her family came to her with tears streaming down their faces and begged her to return home. "I'm sorry, Qiao. I made a mistake."

SEASON 2 TELAH SELESAI SEASON 3 UNTUK SEMENTARA HIATUS, DEMI PERSIAPAN KONFLIK BARU MENGUSUNG SCI-FI. HIATUS...!!! Maaf jika Season 3 tidak langsung saya garap. jujur mengusung tema Sci-fi yang di padukan dengan romance itu sulit. Apalagi, sebenarnya novel saya basic nya itu adalah kisah cinta ala-ala CEO, yang di gemari para ibu-ibu. sedangkan di season 3 nanti banting setir ke sci-fi demi alur. Jadi, mohon pengertiannya. Tapi karena memang dari season 1 sudah membawa alur menuju ke sana. Maka harus saya lanjutkan juga membawa SCI-FI. INGAT!!! tidak semudah itu membuat cerita, saya bukan kekurangan ide, hanya masih dilema akan lanjut atau di buat sekuel. Karena memang jalan ceritanya genre nya akan sedikit berubah. AKAN DI LANJUTKAN SEASON 3 SETELAH 3 TAHUN YANG AKAN DATANG. TERIMA KASIH . MOHON DOANYA SEMOGA 3 TAHUN YG AKAN DATANG SAYA MASIH BISA MELANJUTKAN CERITA INI KE SEASON 3.

Ketika Takdir di hadapkan pada dua kehidupan yang saling berlawanan, apa yang akan terjadi? Sequel dari Novel ini "Ludius, cukup..! mengapa kamu selalu menanggungnya sendiri? Tidakkah itu menyakitkan?" Bisik Silvia, air matanya tiba-tiba saja menetes. Ludius hanya terdiam, mulutnya seakan terkunci untuk berbicara. 'Silvia, kamu tidak tahu betapa kejam dunia ini. Jika aku ingin bertahan, maka aku harus berdiri tegak di depan semua orang. Selama ini aku sudah membuang hati dan perasaanku, yang ku anggap sebagai kelemahan ku. Tapi kamu mampu melihat sisi lemah ku'. Ludius melepas pelukannya, Dia mengusap air mata Silvia dengan lembut. "Jangan menangis, aku tidak pernah mengizinkanmu untuk itu. Kamu tahu.. Kamu adalah wanita pertama yang mampu menebak isi hatiku". "Walau begitu kamu masih tidak mau membaginya denganku?" Perkataan Silvia penuh makna. "Belum waktunya, Jika tiba saatnya aku pasti akan membaginya denganmu". Ludius menarik tangan Silvia menuju hamparan bunga yang memenuhi taman. Mereka duduk di bangku di tengah hamparan bunga.  Angin berhembus menyibakkan rambut Silvia,  "Ludius, Bukankah bunga ini menenangkan hati mu? Disini seakan kita bisa lebih jujur pada hati kita sendiri" ucap Silvia yang masih menikmati kesejukan angin yang berhembus. "Entahlah.. aku hanya merasa sedikit nyaman berada di sini". jawab Ludius yang masih memandang hamparan bunga. // // // // // TAG MAFIA, CEO, SWEET ROMANCE, COLD MAN, PERFECT HUSBAND, ACTION, ARROGANT, SWEET, MISTERY, BOSS, PERFECT PARTNER, KILL, BLOOD, TRAGEDY, Di Volume ke 2 nantinya akan banyak pemain baru, cinta dan aksi serta mengungkap masalah yang masih tertinggal di Volume 1.
