Setelah adikku pergi ke luar negeri, aku menggantikan dia menikah dengan Ketua Geng mafia. Selama lima tahun pernikahan, kami adalah dua orang yang paling saling membenci. Dia membenciku karena mengira akulah yang memaksa adik pergi, lalu memakai cara licik untuk menjadi istrinya. Aku membencinya karena sejak awal sampai akhir dia selalu menganggapku hanya sebagai pengganti, bahkan tidak pernah mengumumkan identitasku ke publik. Justru karena tidak diakui, orang tuaku yang gengsi menanggung segala hinaan, dan sejak itu mereka pun membenciku sampai ke tulang. Di akhir kehidupan sebelumnya, dia dan kedua orang tuaku demi merayakan Natal untuk adikku, melupakan diriku di pegunungan bersalju. Di tengah kedinginan yang membeku, aku dan anakku yang belum sempat dilahirkan meninggal bersama. Sementara itu, adikku menikmati seluruh limpahan kasih sayang, menjalani Natal paling bahagia dalam hidupnya. Saat membuka mata kembali, aku kembali ke hari pertama adikku pulang ke tanah air. Di kehidupan ini, aku tidak akan lagi memohon cinta dari Adriano maupun dari kedua orang tuaku.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" He asked coldly without an expressio. She smiled faintly and said straightforwardly, "I agree to divorce." "However, I have a condition." Jenna licked her red lips, as if she had made up her mind, "I want 50 million compensation." "As long as you sleep with me for one night, I will agree."

Di atas bus, aku dihimpit ke arah jendela oleh seorang pria hidung belang. Sementara itu, sepasang tangan yang besar di belakangku, meraba-raba tubuhku dengan lancang. Aku terkulai lemas dalam dekapannya. Aku berusaha menahan erangan karena malu, sambil merapatkan kedua kaki dan mencoba mengabaikan sensasi basah di antara pangkal pahaku. Ada dua alasan mengapa aku berusaha keras untuk bertahan. Pertama, tidak ada yang tahu jika aku sebenarnya menderita kecanduan seks. Sentuhan sekecil apa pun bisa seketika menjatuhkanku ke dalam jurang gairah yang dalam. Kedua ... Orang di belakangku yang sedang meraba-raba diriku dengan semena-mena itu adalah guru matematikaku sendiri. Aku menundukkan kepala, berusaha sekuat tenaga untuk menopang kedua kakiku yang sudah kehilangan kekuatannya. Saat aku mulai kembali tersadar, aku mendapati tangan guruku sudah menyelinap ke celah di antara kedua kakiku, meraba ke arah tempat yang sudah basah dan berantakan itu ….

My husband died in a fire trying to save me, leaving behind a mountain of debt and a newborn child. I worked hard to pay off the debt while raising the child, only to unintentionally discover that my husband hadn’t died at all. Instead, he was sleeping with my cousin. “Honey, you’re so clever. You transferred all the company funds and faked your death, leaving that stupid wife of yours to shoulder all the debt. “She’s so clueless that she doesn’t even realize the son she’s raising isn’t hers, that I swapped him out. Once she’s done paying off the debts, the three of us can live a great life together.” I silently sneered, pretending I knew nothing, and continued to raise the child. Twenty years later, my son returned home after studying abroad. The company went public in New York. On the day of the IPO, my cousin appeared arm in arm with my husband, holding a paternity test. “Claire, your husband never died. We’ve been together all these years. Alex is my son. Now that you’ve been his mother for so long, isn’t it time to return him to me?” My husband also presented a divorce agreement. “I built this company from scratch. It’s premarital property. Sign the divorce papers, walk away with nothing, and you can leave now.” I smiled and told him, “I’ve prepared a special gift for you too. I wonder if you’ll like it."

Trois jours avant les fiançailles, Lucien Thomas m'a appelée : « Reportons notre cérémonie de fiançailles d'un mois. Ce jour-là, ce sera le premier concert de Lily Moreau après son retour en France, je ne peux pas ne pas y aller. » « Ce n'est qu'un report de fiançailles, rien de grave. » C'était la troisième fois qu'il a repoussé notre cérémonie de fiançailles cette année. La première fois, c'était parce que Lily avait eu une appendicite à l'étranger et avait été hospitalisée. Il avait dit qu'il devait aller s'occuper d'elle et il s'était précipité là-bas sans attendre. La deuxième fois, c'était parce que Lily avait dit qu'elle n'allait pas bien. Craignant qu'elle ne sombre dans la dépression, il avait immédiatement réservé un billet d'avion pour l'étranger. Et c'était la troisième fois. J'ai simplement répondu d'accord, j'ai raccroché puis je me suis tournée vers l'homme élégant et fier à mes côtés : « As-tu envie de m'épouser ? » Plus tard, lors du concert de Lily, Lucien l'a pourtant laissée sans hésiter et, les yeux rougis, il s'est précipité à ma cérémonie de fiançailles. « Léa Bernard, veux-tu vraiment te fiancer avec cet homme ? »

For over a decade, he had cherished her, shielding her from the world, treating her like the most precious gem in his life. And so, inevitably, she fell in love with him. She truly believed he loved her too. She thought that one day, they would get married and build a future together.
