“Bisakah kau tersenyum Altar? Tidak baik menunjukkan wajah cemberutmu pada teman-temanmu.” Lavina mengusap pipi Altar yang menggembung.Altar Landergee sudah menginjak usia lima tahun pagi ini. Mansion megah mereka sudah dihiasi banyak sekali balon dan semua pernak pernik ulang tahun. Seharusnya menjadi momen yang menyenangkan untuk Altar. Semua yang disiapkan, Lavina pastikan adalah semua yang terbaik dan yang paling disukai oleh putranya itu.“Ailee tidak datang!”Akhirnya Lavina tahu alasannya. Meskipun hadiah sudah menumpuk tinggi, tidak bisa menyembuhkan kesedihan Altar karena teman playgroup-nya yang bernama Ailee tidak datang. Gadis kecil itu memang telah menjadi teman favorit Altar.

Lavina spontan memegang perutnya yang sudah besar ketika melihat berita yang ada di televisi. Jane dikabarkan bunuh diri, melompat dari atas gedung media milik orang tuanya. Tiba-tiba firasatnya buruk. Apakah itu perbuatan Raveen? Dia tidak ingin berprasangka buruk pada suaminya, tapi perasaannya benar-benar tidak nyaman, seolah mengatakan bahwa Raveen adalah dalang di balik kematian Jane. Apalagi setelah pernikahan mereka yang hancur, hidup Lavina lebih tenang. Tidak ada kejadian apapun selain pemberitaan yang terlalu berlebihan tentang keburukan Jane yang telah menghancurkan rumah tangga Raveen dan Lavina. Memang sebelumnya itu adalah bagian dari rencana Lavina, tapi kali ini beritanya sangat berlebihan. Bahkan seperti mengulik semua keburukan Jane dan orang tuanya. Rumornya mereka terlibat kasus korupsi. Pamornya jatuh dan per

Semenjak hamil, Lavina berubah. Terutama pemikirannya. Mungkin memang masih ada rasa khawatir tentang bagaimana dia harus mengasuh anak, namun dia akan berusaha. Seiring dengan bertambahnya usia kandungan Lavina, ia merasa sangat terikat dengan sang bayi. Ada jalinan kasih yang berbeda, yang tidak bisa Lavina deskripsikan. Jika ditilik secara sains, itu wajar karena saat hamil, hormon oksitosin yang katanya adalah hormon cinta, meningkat. Itulah yang menyebabkan cinta ibu pada bayinya semakin kuat.Mungkin di awal masih belum begitu kentara. Hanya sayang saja. Belum begitu benar-benar mencintai. Hanya menyadari bahwa dia akan menjadi ibu dan harus mengasuh bayinya. Tapi kejadian tragis itu membuat Lavina menyadari betapa ia sangat ketakutan. Ketakutan yang sama seperti yang dia alami saat lampau.Apalagi melihat darah yang merembes di gaun putih yang dia pakai.

Rencana Lavina tampak berjalan dengan sangat baik. Sebuah persiapan untuk pernikahan megah telah selesai dilakukan. Hanya perlu menambah hal-hal kecil saja. Sisanya, gedung yang telah didekorasi sedemikian rupa siap untuk digunakan. Jujur saja, Lavina sedikit iri karena pesta pernikahan ini digelar lebih megah daripada pernikahan Lavina. Tentu saja karena Jane mendapatkan banyak kucuran dana dari banyak pihak.“Are you living in Disney Land or something?” tanya Lavina yang tampak takjub.Di sebelahnya Jane hanya tersenyum remeh. Terang-terangan meledek Lavina. Dia tengah menunjukkan superioritasnya karena tahu bahwa pesta pernikahannya lebih megah dibandingkan siapapun.“Tentu saja. Aku ratu di semesta Raveen. Sudah seharusnya seperti itu.”Lavina

Lavina dan Raveen keluar dari gedung perusahaan Dawson. Di sana sudah ada banyak wartawan yang menunggu. Mereka sengaja keluar dari pintu utama. Pura-pura terkejut dengan kehadiran mereka.“Bagaimana tanggapan Anda dengan skandal Anda?”“Apakah benar bayi yang dikandung Jane adalah anak Anda?”“Nona Lavina? Bagaimana kondisi kandungan Anda? Apakah Anda baik-baik saja?”“Bagaimana tanggapan Anda soal skandal yang menimpa suami Anda?”Dan banyak pertanyaan yang dilontarkan oleh para reporter itu. Akan tetapi, baik Raveen dan Lavina hanya bungkam. Belum saatnya mereka membuka suara. Justru diamnya mereka memang sengaja dilakukan agar semakin menciptakan banyak asumsi publik. Akan l

Berita tentang Jane yang mengandung anak Raveen semakin merebak. Bahkan gosip itu membuat harga saham perusahaan Landergee turun. Beberapa pihak mulai sedikit panik dan meminta Raveen untuk melakukan tindakan lebih lanjut.Musuh dalam selimut itu memang ada. apa yang Lavina katakan sebelumnya benar, beberapa orang terlihat menjadi pihak oposisi. Saat rapat darurat dilakukan oleh semua orang pemegang saham, Raveen dipaksa bertanggung jawab. Jane harus segera dinikahi oleh Raveen atau citra Landergee akan semakin buruk.“Kalian memintaku untuk menikahinya? Kenapa tidak memaksaku untuk melakukan tes DNA saja pada bayi itu? Apakah dia anakku?” Raveen melempar pertanyaan retoris ke dalam forum.“Bagaimana bisa itu bukan anakmu, Tuan Raveen? Beberapa kali aku melihatmu dengan wanita itu. Bahkan kau menga

“Can you just smile, Altar? It's not good to show your sulky face to your friends." Lavina stroked Altar's puffy cheeks.Altar Landergee turned five this morning. Their majestic mansion was decorated with tons of balloons and all the birthday knick-knacks. It should be a happy moment for Altar. Everything that was prepared, Lavina made sure was the best and what her son liked the most."Ailee isn't coming!"Finally Lavina knew the reason. Even though the gifts were piled high, it couldn't heal Altar's sadness because his playgroup friend, Ailee didn't come. The little girl had indeed become Altar's favorite friend."Probably she’s coming soon." Lavina tried to cheer up. After all, she had made sure to distribute Altar's

Lavina spontaneously held her big belly when she saw the news on television. Jane reportedly committed suicide, jumping from the top of the media building owned by her parents. Suddenly Lavina had a bad feeling. Was that Raveen's doing? She didn't want to be prejudiced against her husband, but she felt really uncomfortable, as if to suggest that Raveen was behind Jane's death. Especially after their―Raveen and Janes’s―broken marriage, Lavina's life was calmer. Nothing happened other than the excessive reporting of Jane's ugliness that had destroyed Raveen and Lavina's household. Indeed before it was part of Lavina's plan, but this time the news was too much. It was even like exploring all the bad things about Jane and her parents. Rumor had it that they were involved in corruption cases. Their prestige fell and their company was

Since getting pregnant, Lavina has changed. Especially the thoughts. There might be some worries about how she should take care of the baby, but she would absolutely try. As Lavina's pregnancy got older, she felt very attached to the baby. There was a different kind of love that Lavina couldn't describe. If viewed scientifically, it was natural because during pregnancy, the hormone oxytocin, which was said to be the love hormone, increased. That was what caused the mother's love for her baby to be stronger. Maybe in the beginning it was still not so obvious. Just love the kid. Hadn't really loved yet. Just realized that she was going to be a mother and had to take care of her baby. But the tragic incident made Lavina realize how terrified she was. The same fear she had in the past. Especially seeing the blood seeping on the white dress she was wearing. It hurt. But the pain wasn't worth the fear. She was afraid of losing her baby. She didn't want to lose the baby she

Lavina's plan seemed to be going very well. Preparation for the grand wedding had been completed. Just needed to add small things. The rest, the building that had been decorated in such a way was ready for use. Honestly, Lavina was a little jealous because this wedding party was held more grandly than Lavina's wedding. Of course because Jane got a lot of funding from many parties.“Are you living in Disney Land or something?” asked Lavina who looked amazed.Next to her, Jane just smiled lightly. Openly mocking Lavina. She was showing her superiority knowing that her wedding party was grander than anyone else's."Of course. I'm the queen of the Raveen universe. That's how it should be."Lavina raised her eyebrows. She held her big belly. Not because she was an

Lavina and Raveen exited Dawson's company building. There were already many reporters waiting. They purposely went out of the main door. Pretend to be surprised by the reporters presence."How do you react to your scandal?""Is it true that the baby Jane is carrying is yours?""Miss Lavina? How is the condition of your pregnancy? Are you okay?""How do you feel about the scandal that befell your husband?"And many questions asked by the reporters. However, both Raveen and Lavina just kept silent. It wasn’t time for them to speak up. In fact, their silence was deliberately done so as to create more public assumptions. It would be great if the public trusted Jane more, because in the end, when Lavina and Raveen reveal the

News of Jane being pregnant with Raveen's child was spreading. Even the gossip made Landergee's stock price drop. Some parties started to panic a little and asked Raveen to take further action.The enemy in the blanket did exist. What Lavina said earlier was true, some people seemed to be in the opposition. When an emergency meeting was held by all the shareholders, Raveen was forced to take responsibility. Jane must be married to Raveen soon or Landergee's image would get worse.“You asked me to marry him? Why not just force me to do a DNA test on the baby? Is he my son?” Raveen threw a rhetorical question into the forum.“How can it not be your son, Mr Raveen? Several times I saw you with that woman. You even said yourself that she would be your wife after you divorced Miss Lavina.” One of
