My daughter and my husband didn't look alike at all. My father-in-law always complained about it, accusing me of cheating. In the end, he even took my daughter to get a paternity test done. As expected, they were not blood related. My father-in-law told his son to divorce me and not to give me anything. My husband even wanted to kill my daughter by choking her. "I've been raising another man's daughter all this while! I'll be humiliated as long as she's alive!" I immediately threw the paternity test report involving my husband and my father-in-law at them. This time, it's my mother-in-law that was nervous as I looked them in the eyes and said, "Why don't you take a good look and see who is the one who is not blood related!"

"You're not my Alpha" She yelled and in a flash, the grey wolf with fierce amber eyes had her pinned underneath him. "What did you say?" He growled forcing his paws on her neck. He would kill her if she didn't do something. So in desperation, she did the only thing she could think of. "I, Valentine Fernado, hereby reject you as mate". Werewolves, vampires and Lycans were just myths. If anyone had told her they existed few months ago, she would have had a good laugh. Not until one flower lured her into the hands of Eric Dark, the mad Alpha. A man who had lost his touch with reality. A man who had no control of his emotions. One who couldn't tell right from wrong. One who was broken to the last bit. Then she thought she could tame him.... Until she realised, he'd gotten so used to the dark that he no longer needed light.

I had always shared a perfect relationship with my mother-in-law, Betsy Dutton. We were the model pair of a wealthy family. She and my father-in-law, Rourke Dutton had been childhood sweethearts, their bond seemingly unbreakable. But one day, she told me something that changed my entire perception of them.  She clutched my hand and tears were streaming down her face. “Naomi,” she sobbed, “your father-in-law… he’s been keeping a mistress. They even have a child together! “For over ten years, I’ve been in the dark, made into a laughingstock!” My throat tightened, and I couldn’t hold back my own confession.  “Mom, actually… Julius is no better. He bought a whole apartment building for his mistress!” We wept in each other’s arms, our heartbreak spilling out in waves.  After what felt like an eternity, she sniffled and straightened herself. “Men are utterly unreliable creatures!” “I’m done with that old man, Naomi!” I gripped her hand tightly. “Mom, wherever you go, I’ll follow. I’m done with Julius, too!”

Ada yang menyatakan perasaannya kepadaku di laman web pengakuan kampus, tetapi pacar teman sekamarku malah mengomentari unggahan itu dengan pernyataan bahwa aku sudah pernah tidur dengan semua siswa di kampus. Saking marahnya, aku langsung lapor polisi. Teman sekamarku pun memohon kepadaku untuk memaafkan pacarnya. Dia bahkan bilang akan meminta pacarnya untuk mengunggah permintaan maaf di laman web kampus. Belum sempat permintaan maaf itu kuterima, sebuah video tidak senonoh keburu tersebar di kalangan siswa. Semua orang mengatakan bahwa akulah sosok perempuan dalam video itu. Aku pun diinterogasi pihak kampus dan akhirnya diminta untuk cuti. Saat aku pulang, orangtuaku menolak mengakuiku sebagai putri mereka. Kehilangan segalanya membuatku begitu putus asa dan depresi hingga akhirnya aku memutuskan untuk bunuh diri. Namun, saat mataku terbuka lagi, aku kembali pada hari di mana pengakuan perasaan itu terpajang di laman web.

Apa jadinya kalau cinta yang di bangun dalam kurun lama ternyata akhirnya berujung luka. Syahla perempuan cantik dan mandiri harus menelan pil pahit di usia pernikahannya ke tujuh tahun dengan kedatangan Aurel sebagai adik madunya dan mirisnya Syahla saat sudah bertekad untuk mundur dari pernikahan yang sudah tidak sehat ia malah mendapatkan ujian yang mengharuskan tetap bertahan meski surga yang dulu ia puja kini rapuh tinggal puingnya saja. [ Saya rasa tidak akan ada satupun di dunia seorang perempuan yang siap dan tidak akan pernah siap di poligami ]
