In the heart of New York City, where power is traded like gold and ambition can break you, Lily James is caught between two worlds. By day, she’s the epitome of grace, a picture-perfect heiress to the sprawling James family airline empire, bound by a legacy that stifles her every move. By night, under the cover of darkness, she sheds her delicate persona, becoming a fierce and untamed spirit—a woman who longs to break free from the chains of her family’s expectations. Her carefully curated life shatters when she is thrust into an arranged marriage with Vandaulf Claude Carlston, the cold, calculating CEO of Carlston Architectural Firm and ruthless heir to the rival Carlston real estate dynasty. To him, their union is nothing more than a business transaction, a means to strengthen their family empires. He dismisses Lily as fragile and unworthy of respect. But Lily isn't the meek woman he believes her to be—beneath her exterior burns an undeniable fire. At a Halloween party, fate intervenes. Lily, shedding her refined persona for the night, crosses paths with Vandaulf in the form of a bold, liberated woman he cannot resist. Neither knows the true identity of the other, and a night of passionate recklessness ensues. The consequences are shattering—Lily is pregnant. When she reveals the truth, Vandaulf’s response is cruel and devastating. He denies any involvement, accusing her of manipulation and deceit. His cold rejection cuts deeper than she could have imagined, leaving her shattered but resolute. In this world of power, deceit, and dangerous alliances, Lily and Vandaulf must decide: will they allow their differences to tear them apart, or risk everything to uncover the truth? The ultimate question remains: will Vandaulf ever acknowledge Lily's pregnancy as his own, or will their fragile truce crumble forever?

" Bah, serius Abah mau mindahin aku di pondok ini? " Tanya Abbas sambil mencoba berjalan sejajar dengan abahnya . "Ya gimana lagi. " Jawab abahnya dengan singkat. "Di pondok ini ikhwan akhwat jadi satu loh. " Balas Abbas. "Kamu di sini mondok niatnya buat cari ilmu, bukan cari akhwat, kalau niat awal kamu mau cari ilmu, InsyaAllah gapapa walaupun ada akhwat. " Jelas abahnya dengan lembut. *** "Ih Putri, jangan jadi berondong kau ni. " Ucap Aini membuyarkan lamunanku. "Dih, siapa juga yang jadi berondong, kau nanti kaget kalau tahu dia, " balasku. "Hmm iya-in aja deh biar kau seneng. " Balasnya sambil tertawa. *** Mungkin nantinya tak akan ada yang tahu, bahwa ada seseorang yang selalu melangitkan do'a sendirian, berjuang dengan teguh nya, tanpa adanya sebuah dukungan, ia selalu yakin akan takdir Allah yang indah, Allah tak mungkin membiarkan do'a dan keteguhan dari hamba-Nya itu kembali dengan sia-sia. Meski selalu ada rintangan yang tak segan-segan menghampiri, bahkan terkadang rintangan itu memberi rasa luka di hati. Akankah ia mampu bertahan di atas derasnya rintangan itu? Ataukah perjuangannya akan berhenti sebelum Allah buka pintu do'anya? . Ingat, hal menyakitkan dalam hubungan percintaan adalah;"kita telah kehilangan sesuatu itu sebelum sempat memilikinya. "
