Chapter 1

1. ~ R I V E R ~

Setelah meletakkan guci ibunya, Sena Marlim menerima panggilan telepon dari bibinya.

"Sena, ibumu telah meninggal, aku benaran khawatir kamu tinggal sendirian di sana. Bagaimana kalau kamu datang tinggal bersama bibi?"

Sena terdiam cukup lama, seolah telah membuat keputusan besar. Kemudian, dia menjawab dengan serius, "Baiklah."

"Benarkah? Aku senang sekali kamu mau datang!" Suara bibi di dalam telepon terdengar penuh kegembiraan, "Tapi, kudengar kamu sudah menikah, apakah suamimu bersedia tinggal di luar negeri bersamamu?"

Sena tersenyum ketika mendengar ini, "Jangan khawatir, kami akan segera bercerai."

Sebelum menutup telepon, tiba-tiba terdengar suara di luar pintu.

Erik Rosli pulang.

Sena melirik ke pintu, tapi dia tidak keluar untuk menyambut mereka seperti biasanya.

Pada saat ini, adiknya Erik, Iren Rosli masuk. Dia berkata dengan bangga, "Kakakku membawa Kak Yuki pulang. Kamu, si Tiruan, bakal segera diusir."

Sena mengerutkan kening, "... Tiruan?"

Ekspresi Iren menjadi semakin bangga, "Kamu akan mengerti setelah bertemu Kak Yuki."

Begitu dia selesai berbicara, Erik masuk bersama Yuki.

Sopir masuk mengikuti mereka sambil membawa banyak barang bawaan.

Yuki memegang buket besar bunga mawar di tangannya. Mawar merah itu begitu menyilaukan, hingga mata Sena berlinang tak terkendali.

Ternyata Erik masih sempat membelikannya mawar.

Selama lima tahun menikah, Erik tidak pernah memberinya bunga.

"Yuki baru saja pulang dan belum menemukan tempat tinggal, dia akan tinggal di rumah kita untuk sementara waktu." Erik bahkan tidak memandang Sena. Saat berbicara, matanya selalu tertuju pada Yuki, "Segera mengemas kamar tamu di sebelah kamarku, Yuki akan tinggal di sana."

Nada yang diucapkan Erik bukanlah nada negosiasi, melainkan nada perintah.

Seolah-olah mereka bukan suami istri dan Sena hanya seorang pelayan di keluarga ini. Ketika seseorang ingin tinggal di sini, tidak perlu meminta persetujuannya dan dia malah harus mengemas kamar tamu.

"Erik, aku bisa mengemas sendiri, tidak perlu merepotkan Sena." Yuki mengangkat kepalanya, akhirnya Sena melihat wajahnya.

Sena tercengang, seluruh tubuhnya tidak bisa bergerak.

Pada saat ini, Sena akhirnya mengerti kata tiruan yang diucapkan Iren.

Yuki memiliki wajah yang mirip sama Sena.

Namun, Sena lebih cantik dan memiliki temperamen yang lembut, sedangkan Yuki memperlihatkan kesombongan seorang putri yang dimanjakan langit.

Ternyata begitu...

Sena tiba-tiba tersenyum, dia tersenyum sambil menyeka air mata dari sudut matanya. Ternyata begini, akhirnya dia mengerti.

Dia emang selalu kurang beruntung, Tuhan tidak pernah baik padanya. Bahkan ibu kandungnya pun meninggal pada hari ulang tahunnya.

Jadi dia tahu dirinya yang kurang beruntung itu, bagaimana bisa seberuntung itu? Baru sekali bertemu, langsung berhasil menikahi pangeran dari keluarga kaya...

Ternyata begitu...

Akhirnya semuanya masuk akal.

Ternyata dia hanya seorang pengganti.

"Kok malah menangis? Apa perlu? Kak Yuki hanya tinggal selama dua hari, apa pantas untuk menangis? Sena, kamu terlalu pelit, bukan?" cibir Iren.

Sena segera menggelengkan kepalanya, "Tidak, tidak ada hubungan dengan Nona Yuki..."

Namun, sebelum Sena sempat menyelesaikan kata-katanya, mata Yuki sudah berkaca-kaca, "Lupakan saja, lebih baik aku pergi saja, aku tidak ingin memengaruhi hubungan kalian."

Wajah Erik langsung dipenuhi kesuraman.

"Kamu tidak harus pergi." Erik menghentikan Yuki, lalu berkata dengan tegas, "Aku yang mengambil keputusan akhir dalam keluarga ini! Pak Usman, bawakan barang bawaan ini!"

Sopir itu mendongak, lalu melirik Sena dengan gelisah dan tidak bergerak.

Erik juga menoleh Sena.

"Apa kamu keberatan?" tanya Erik.

Bahkan ada sedikit nada mengancam dalam suaranya.

Sena terus menggelengkan kepalanya, dia tersenyum dengan mata berkaca-kaca, "Aku tidak keberatan, aku senang Nona Yuki bisa tinggal di sini."

Dia tentu tidak keberatan.

Seseorang yang akan segera pergi, bagaimana mungkin keberatan?

Dia bakal pergi dengan anggun dan tidak pernah kembali lagi selamanya.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||"Who do you work for, Henry?" I punched at the headrest of the driver's seat."Your grandfather, Mr. King." Henry replied, making my eye twitch. It was something I had subconsciously picked up from my PA, and it refused to go away."All of you, every single one of you, are plotting against me!" I growled as I pushed the door open, stepping out into the afternoon sun."Plotting your downfall?" Sterling asked as she looked over from the other side of the car. "Not really. But plotting your murder? Maybe."I sighed and gave her a sarcastic smile. "I will be sure to leave a note on who to doubt in the case of my untimely demise."Sterling returned the smile with equal sass and turned to the stairs leading to the mansion.My eyes lingered on those scandalizing ass as she climbed up the stairs, swinging her hips with not a care in the world.Sterling was different. She didn't dress up or tried to kiss up to me.I remembered a time when she was terri

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||"Tell me if you want more, Riv!" Wilma, the housekeeper grinned at me as she placed the tea and chocolate chip cookies in front of me. I had to force myself to act like an adult and not bounce up and down right there on the couch because well, the King's baker was a world class baker and it showed in his food. I gave her a grin. "When have I ever shied away from these cookies, Wilm?"Her laughter filled the room as she walked back into the kitchen.I picked one up, letting the warmth spread through me.I munched on my cookie, making sure I sounded obnoxious enough to grate on Edward's nerves. “You married, Edward?” I asked. I really wanted to know who the unlucky woman - or man - was. “Blissfully married with four children.” I had to double take at the fact that he had actually replied. Usually he treated me like the gum stuck to the bottom of his shoe. “Must be nice.” I said. “You wouldn't know.” He replied. Duh, I am not married yet.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||I stood at the reception, just staring at nothing for a good two minutes, thinking about what my stupid grandfather had come up with to make sure that I settled down.He went too low, even for him, with this."Do you have a reservation?" A pear-faced woman with eyes so wide apart that she looked like a fish, asked me as she approached me.I raised a brow at her. "Do I?" I asked her instead.Her fish eyes blinked rapidly. "Under what name, sir?""Maybe you should find out." I smirked, watching the confusion in her face.If Sterling was here, she would have given me a disapproving look and made some smartass comment about how not everyone knew who I was.I shook my head to clear my thoughts.Well, Sterling was NOT here. And she should not be here because I was here to have lunch with my girlfriend.Girlfriend.Why the hell was I thinking about my average-looking... okay, maybe above average-looking PA when I was here to wine and dine my supermod

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||I wanted to take my car and Xander made no objections so we filed into my black SUV and head out to pick the lawyer, Mr. Carlson from his home. It was almost ten-thirty when a very annoyed and exhausted Mr. Carlson filed in. "Well, why didn't you guys wait till one in the morning to call?" He asked drily as he got into the backseat of my car. "It was not like we had a choice, Carlson." Xander's tone was so cold that the lawyer instantly shut up and tried to look busy on his phone. I felt horrible for doing that to him on a Friday night but I had to. My baby was scared out of his wits and in a police station. I needed him out. We had three hours of ride to go."Do you want me to drive?" Xander asked out of nowhere fifteen minutes into the drive. We were just getting out of the traffic and into the highway."What?" I turned to look at him, my eyes feeling like even moving them to the side was the most difficult feat on the planet."You've

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||"I proposed to her." Whatever Sterling was planning to ask me, got lodged in her throat when I dropped the bomb on her. The look on her face was clear - she was shocked because she didn't think I was serious about Trisha. Well, I wasn't. I was not serious about any of my relationships. My past made sure of stamping that in my very being. I looked in the rearview mirror, relieved that Carlson was asleep and not eavesdropping in on our conversation. Oh well, even if he did, it would not change anything. The man would just have to keep another secret of mine to himself. "And no, I was not in love with her or anything. I-"I stopped myself right there. "You know, Xandy, you really need to marry that girl.""Marry River, I've seen the way you two are. It's like watching an old married couple bicker. And she's good for you. Keeps you in check.""I've seen that girl put up with your temper tantrums and still manage to make you smile. You ne

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Never. Not even for a moment, think that your life is getting better because that is exactly when it decides to play the cruelest joke on you.As we pulled into the station parking lot, Xander turned to me. "You don't have to say yes if you don't want to."I wanted to laugh in his face. He was giving me the illusion of a choice - one of his favorite business tactic - when we both knew that there was no way I could back out of this, not with my brother's future on the line."What are the terms of this... contract?" I asked, trying to keep the tremble out of my voice.Xander's expression was unreadable, but his eyes held a hint of something unpleasant. "Simple. We marry before my thirtieth birthday. You move into my penthouse. We maintain the appearance of a happy couple for two years. After that, we get a divorce, we part ways."Why did it feel like he was hiding something from me?But what other choice did I have?"If you agree to this, Sterli

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||It felt weird. Walking into the station, walking into anywhere - holding hands with the dumbass named Xander King.But here we were.Holding hands like a couple.It was the most bizarre thing I had ever done in my life.I guess marrying him would take the trophy.I had had the feeling today, and I had even told Henry about it - that I would get proposed today.Except I had thought and believed that it would be Dave who proposed and I was so sure that it was exactly his plan. A plan that would never see fruit - at least for two years it wouldn't even if he was willing to wait for me. But would he be willing to wait for me? And even so, what could I possibly tell him that would make him stay.It was not like I could tell him the truth.I knew Xander King - a non-disclosure agreement would be the first thing that he would make me sign as soon as the sun came up tomorrow.I looked down at my smartwatch.Today.Today.It was past midnight already.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Sterling... I mean, River collapsed so suddenly that I almost missed, but I still managed to steady her before she hit the ground.Her body was trembling and her eyes were glossy with unshed tears as she stared at Skylar.The young boy lunged forward at the sight of his sister collapsing, "Riv!" He yelled from the other side of the glass, loud enough for it to transmit across the glass.Riv?She had such a beautiful name - River. And he was going around calling her something as stupid as Riv.I will never understand siblings.They looked so much alike, yet worlds apart. She was a shipwreck right now but River was usually so sophisticated and put-together that it felt like a challenge to make that mask of composure of hers crack. Skylar, on the other hand, looked like a shabby teenager, a total nerd, with milk stains still on his cheeks. I knew they were orphans, but it was certain that River had coddled him all his life. It showed.Letting
