LOGINViolet Harper, an actress, has just about anything going wrong in her life. That is until she's offered a deal that she can't possibly resist: pose as the long-lost sister of billionaire CEO Clyde West to fulfill his father's dying wish. But the moment she plays the obedient daughter, the line between reality and fiction blurs. The longer it takes Clyde to get infatuated with his fake sister, the more Violet is stuck deep into a web of deceit, torn between the role she is playing and the truth she's hiding. Told against a backdrop of clashing family secrets, taboo love, and lethal alliances, the choices Violet and Clyde make dictate the measure of their devotion to their own hearts-and one another.

Langkahku terhenti saat mendengar suara kenikmatan. Tepat berada di depan pintu kamar ibuku. Aku yang terbangun tengah malam karena merasa ingin buang air kecil, mengurungkan niatku sejenak untuk mendengar lebih jelas. Perlahan, aku mendekatkan telinga ke pintu. Ternyata benar, suara itu memang berasal dari dalam kamar Mama Jessica, ibu tiriku. Rasa buang air kecil yang tadinya nyaris tak tertahankan, menghilang seketika. Aku mengatur napas sebaik mungkin, sembari mencoba berpikir apa yang sedang berlangsung di dalam sana. Bagaimana mungkin? Tidak, ini tidak mungkin! Batinku bergejolak, pikiranku melayang-layang. Apa mungkin ibu tiriku memasukkan pria lain ke dalam kamar? Atau jangan-jangan... Pikiranku semakin beterbangan, membayangkan apa yang dapat memicu munculnya suara desahan itu. Ayah belum pulang karena lembur malam ini. Jadi, tidak mungkin desahan itu muncul dengan sendirinya. "Loh, Radit? Ngapain di sini?" tanya Mama Jessica yang tiba-tiba saja membuka pintu. "Eh, anu, bukan, enggak Ma..." Aku gelagapan. Jantungku berdegup kencang, bukan semata karena Mama Jessica menemukanku di depan kamarnya. Melainkan, karena setelan pakaian yang ia kenakan. Mama Jessica mengenakan piyama rok bewarna pink yang terlihat seperti baju dinas malam. Sehingga bayang-bayang isi di dalamnya tergambar jelas di kepalaku. "Hihi, lucu banget deh kamu. Kenapa jadi gugup kayak gitu?" Mama Jessica melirik sambil menyilangkan tangan di dada, wajahnya tampak penasaran. "Enggak kok, Ma. Kebelet buang air kecil, mau ke kamar mandi dulu." Aku merapatkan kedua pahaku, telapak tanganku dingin karena grogi. "Oh... mau ke kamar mandi rupanya. Mau Mama temenin?" Mama Jessica mengangkat alis, seolah bercanda, tapi langkahnya ikut maju setengah langkah ke arahku. "Gak usah Ma. Aku sendiri aja." Aku tersenyum kaku sambil mengusap tengkukku. Detak jantungku terdengar jelas di telinga sendiri. "Beneran nih gak mau ditemenin? Malem kemarin Mama denger suara aneh dari halaman belakang." Ia berkata sambil melirik ke jendela, lalu berjalan pelan ke dekatku. Tangannya menyentuh bahuku sebentar, lembut tapi membuatku refleks menelan ludah. Tiba-tiba saja listrik padam. Seluruh ruangan berubah menjadi gelap gulita. "Tuh kan, lampunya mati. Yuk, Mama temenin aja." Mama Jessica menyalakan ponselnya sebagai penerangan. "Soal yang tadi, beneran Ma?" "Iya," jawabnya pelan, hampir seperti gumaman. "Tapi Mama nggak mau ngecek, takut soalnya." Seketika bulu kudukku meremang. Mulai ragu-ragu untuk melangsungkan hajatku ke kamar mandi. Tapi, jika aku menahannya, khawatir celanaku akan segera basah kuyup. "Udah, ayuk. Jangan banyak mikir. Ntar malah keluar di celana lagi." Mama Jessica segera menggandeng lenganku dengan lembut. Entah ini terlihat normal antara ibu dengan anak, aku tidak tahu. Yang jelas, ada perasaan deg-degan saat beberapa kali lenganku tersentuh sesuatu yang lembut. "Aku buang air kecil dulu ya, Ma?" ucapku pelan ketika kami berhenti di depan pintu kamar mandi. Pintu itu sedikit terbuka, gelap di dalamnya membuatku merinding. "Berani, kan?" Mama Jessica menyipitkan mata, menyorot ke arahku dan pintu dengan cahaya ponselnya. Suaranya terdengar setengah menggoda, setengah menguji. "Maksudnya, Ma?" Aku mengerutkan kening. Jantungku berdetak lebih cepat, bukan karena takut, tapi karena tatapannya terasa aneh. "Emang kamu berani di dalem sendirian?" "Berani dong, Ma. Gak mungkin juga kan Mama masuk ke dalem buat nemenin aku?" Aku tertawa kering, mencoba mencairkan suasana yang makin tegang. "Loh, kenapa enggak?" "Hah?" Aku spontan mundur setengah langkah, bingung. Mama Jessica langsung mengerjap, menyadari ucapannya sendiri. "Eh, salah," katanya sambil tersenyum canggung. Ia mengusap rambut yang jatuh ke pipinya, lalu berdeham halus. Aku bergegas masuk untuk menyegerakan hajatku. Tapi kata-kata Mama Jessica yang menawarkan diri untuk menemaniku ke dalam sini, cukup mengganggu pikiranku. "Makasih ya, Ma. Mama baik banget," ucapku ketika melihat Mama Jessica senantiasa menunggu di depan pintu. "Gak perlu makasih segala. Kan Mama harus jagain kamu. Kayak amanahnya Papa." Aku mengerutkan kening, "Emang Papa bilang gitu?" "Iya, Papa bilang Mama harus benar-benar jagain kamu. Papa sayang banget dan gak mau kamu kenapa-napa." Aku cukup tersentuh mendengarnya. Karena belum pernah aku melihat Ayah mengatakan hal demikian di hadapanku. Tapi terkadang juga aku merasa bahwa ini berlebihan, seperti dimanjakan. Kurang pantas saja di usiaku yang sudah menyandang gelar sarjana. "Oh ya Ma, Papa emang belum pulang, ya?" "Belum," jawabnya lembut. Ia merapikan rambutnya yang jatuh ke bahu. "Kan malem ini ada lembur. Mungkin sekitar satu jam lagi pulangnya." "Oh..." Kami berdua kembali menuju ke arah kamar. Kamarku berada tepat di samping kamarnya. "Mau Mama temenin tidur?" tanyanya lembut saat kami tiba di depan pintu kamarku.Clyde had been planning this moment for days. Despite the chaos surrounding them, he knewlife was too short to wait. After everything they had been through—near-death experiences,betrayals, and endless danger—he was sure of one thing: he wanted Violet by his side, forever.He chose a quiet evening for his plan. The sun was setting, casting a warm golden hue over theMaranzano estate. Richard and Olivia were conveniently out for the evening, and Clyde hadarranged for a private dinner on the balcony overlooking the estate’s sprawling gardens.Violet stepped onto the balcony, her breath catching as she took in the sight. The table was setwith candles flickering softly, their glow illuminating Clyde’s nervous smile. A bouquet of herfavorite flowers rested in a vase at the center of the table.“Clyde, what is all this?” Violet asked, her eyes wide with surprise.Clyde walked over to her, taking her hand in his. “Just something simple to show you how muchyou mean to me,” he said, his
Clyde’s AwakeningThe hospital room was quiet except for the soft hum of machines and the faint sound of Violet’sshaky breaths. She sat by Clyde’s bed, her fingers tightly gripping his cold hand. The beepingmonitor was steady but seemed unbearably loud in the stillness.Tears rolled down her cheeks as she stared at his pale face. He had always been so strong, unshakable, and now he looked so fragile. The thought of losing him felt like a knifetwisting in her chest.“Clyde…” she whispered, her voice breaking. “Please… please don’t leave me. I can’t do thisalone.”She leaned closer, resting her forehead against his hand, her tears soaking the sheets. “Youpromised me,” she sobbed. “You said you’d always protect me, no matter what. I need you,Clyde. For the sake of everything we’ve shared, for the future we dreamed of… please wakeup.”Her voice cracked as she poured her heart out, the pain in her words filling the room. “I loveyou,” she choked out, her grip tightening. “I can’t l

It was a contact her motherused for their most sensitive “clean-ups.” A man who had no loyalty, only a price tag.When he picked up, his voice was low and cold. “What do you need?”“There’s a man named Tony,” Eva hissed, her voice seething with hatred. “I want him gone.Make it look like an accident.”The man chuckled darkly. “Consider it done. Where can I find him?”Eva provided the details with a sense of finality. “Do not fail me,” she warned before hanging up.She sat back, her lips curling into a sinister smile. “Goodbye, Tony. You’ve outlived yourusefulness.”Unaware of the immediate danger looming over him, Tony sat i
After the recent incident with Jonas attempting to abduct Clyde from his hospital room, RichardGray, Clyde's father, took no chances. He hired a team of highly skilled bodyguards to protectClyde around the clock. Dressed in sharp black suits and armed discreetly, the guards stood atevery entrance and exit, ensuring no unauthorized person could come near Clyde's room.Richard personally oversaw the arrangements, his stern expression betraying the deep worry hefelt for his son. “No one gets in or out without my permission,” he told the head of the securityteam. “My son’s life depends on it.”Olivia, Clyde's younger sister, visited the hospital every day. She was a whirlwind of emotions,constantly hovering around her brother's bedside. She brought flowers, read to him, and evenplayed soft music, hoping it would reach him in his coma.“Clyde,” Olivia whispered one day, her voice trembling, “you have to wake up. I need my bigbrother. You’re the strong one in this family. Don’t let
