Masuk"Laurette, you are not qualified to have a child." Hearing these words from her husband, Laurette's heart shattered into a million pieces, leaving her wondering if she'd be enough. Every time they had sex, he'd remind her to take her contraceptive pill, making sure she never got pregnant. For five years, Laurette found herself trapped in a loveless, secret marriage with Bryce – one that forbids pregnancy. No one knew about it – not even her family. It's been five years already; everyone expected children, especially her mother-in-law, who couldn't wait to cradle her grandchild. But the truth was, she'd had a miscarriage years ago, and the doctor said she couldn't get pregnant again. The memory still lingered, a painful echo of what could've been. She kept it a secret, hiding behind a mask of compliance, letting her mother-in-law cling to hope of carrying her grandchild one day. But today was different. Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Ava, fueled by years of frustration, called Laurette "infertile." Bryce stood there, silent. He knew the truth. He knew about the contract, and he didn't defend her. Instead, he handed her divorce papers and said coldly, "Let's get divorced. My first love is back." Bryce Rodriguez chose Irene – his childhood sweetheart – over the woman who'd stood by him for five years. Laurette couldn't compete when her husband's first love returned. Heartbroken but dignified, she walked away without looking back. But fate had other plans. Months later, Bryce accompanied Irene to a prenatal checkup... only to run into his ex-wife, holding triplets! He went crazy and shouted, "Whose children are they?" he demanded, his voice shaking. "I thought you're infertile?" Laurette only smiled. Too late, Bryce realized the truth. He didn't just lose his wife... He lost his entire family.

Suara rengekan Nyonya Selin, istri bos tempat Bayu bekerja, tak sengaja didengar oleh Bayu yang siap menjemput sang bos untuk berangkat kerja. Dia baru seminggu bekerja di sini, karena membutuhkan biaya untuk sekolah adiknya di desa.
Dalam seminggu itu, Bayu sudah tiga kali mendengar Nyonya Selin yang menyalahkan Pak Bram yang tak bisa memberinya kepuasan batin.
"Nggak bisa, Sayang. Aku ada panggilan telepon mendadak dari kantor. Besok-besok lagi aku puasin kamu, ya," jawab pak Bram, sambil memakai celana dengan terburu-buru.
Dalam pikiran Bayu, sepertinya Nyonya Selin dan Pak Bram, sudah menggunakan pakaian dan bersiap untuk berangkat. Tapi kenyataannya, apa yang dilihat Bayu jauh lebih mempesona!
Hampir seminggu kerja, tiga kali Bayu melihat Nyonya Selin melakukan pilates dan yoga. Usianya memang sudah menginjak kepala tiga, tapi tubuh Nyonya Selin… sangat ramping dan menggoda.
Tapi sayang, tubuh semenggoda itu harus dihadapkan kenyataan pahit, bahwa Pak Bram tak pernah sekalipun bisa memuaskannya.
Pernah sekali Pak Bram bercerita tentang kondisinya, yaitu cepat keluar ketika bermain dengan wanita. Bahkan dengan terang-terangan dia bilang, bahwa Selin tak pernah sekalipun puas walau hanya semalam.
Di tengah pikiran berkecamuk, Bayu kembali memfokuskan pandangan ke Nyonya Selin, yang bangkit dari posisi terlentangnya.
Alamak!
Selain tubuhnya yang ramping, bagian punggungnya sangat bersih nan mulus. Tepat ketika Nyonya Selin menekuk tubuhnya ke kiri, tepat ke arah pintu, Si Gatot milik Bayu bangun.
“Duh, kenapa bangun duluan?” Bayu menepuk pahanya sendiri, tapi si Gatot terus menggeliat, seperti memberi kode bahwa Bayu harus memfokuskan pandangannya lagi.
Ada buah melon kualitas impor, dengan ujung berwarna pink, dan ukurannya tak terlalu besar.
Bayu sempat menoleh sekilas ke telapak tangannya, lalu membayangkan apakah buah tersebut dapat ia genggam seutuhnya, dan argh… tidak!
"Tidak boleh! Ingat, dia majikanmu yang ngasih uang kamu! Ingat, Bayu, jangan gegabah dan jangan berperilaku tidak tahu diri! Ingat adikmu butuh biaya buat sekolah!" tegur Bayu pada dirinya sendiri, dia kembali tersadar jika Nyonya Selin itu majikannya, sehingga kurang pantas jika dia berpikiran negatif.
Baru juga Bayu berhasil menghapus imajinasi liarnya, tiba-tiba terdengar suara Nyonya Selin yang sedang merengek pada Pak Bram.
"Iih, Sayang. Udah sebulan lebih lho kamu nggak nyentuh aku, satu kali lagi, ya? Pleasee?" Nyonya Selin memohon sambil menempelkan dadanya ke lengan suami, tapi pak Bram menepisnya dengan ringan dan mendorong tubuh sintal istrinya menjauh.
"Beneran nggak bisa. Mungkin, besok aja, ya,” hibur pak Bram, lalu membenarkan kancing seragamnya. “Cepetan kamu pakai baju, sebelum Bayu datang!”
Bayu yang sadar, cepat-cepat memasukkan tangannya ke celana, membetulkan posisi Si Gatot yang tadi terjerembab di sana, agar tidak ada tonjolan yang terlihat ketika Pak Bram keluar nanti.
Betul saja, selisih 20 detik kemudian, Pak Bram keluar dan menoleh ke arah Bayu yang sudah bersandar tepat di samping pintu.
“Bayu, udah lama di sini?” Pak Bram bertanya dan mengira Bayu tidak mengetahui kejadian tadi.
“Eh, iya, Pak Bram, saya barusan aja datang ke sini. Saya lihat tadi pintunya nggak dikunci, mau saya ketuk tapi saya sadar, saya nggak punya hak. Jadi saya berdiri di sini aja, nunggu Pak Bram keluar.”
"Ayo, Bay. Antar aku." Pak Bram berjalan tergesa meninggalkan kamar tanpa menoleh lagi, seperti tengah dikejar sesuatu.
"Siap, Pak."
Sebelum Bayu menyusul langkah Pak Bram, Bayu sempat melihat Nyonya Selin yang hanya dibalutkan syal, menutup tubuhnya sendiri.
Nyonya Selin seperti wanita yang depresi. Bagaimana tidak, saat dia butuh kepuasan batin, Pak Bram tak pernah bisa memberikannya. Pak Bram selalu sibuk urusan kantor, uang, dan mungkin… ada sesuatu lain yang ditutupi Pak Bram.
Andai saja Bayu yang jadi suami Nyonya Selin, Bayu pasti memberinya kasih sayang seperti seorang ratu.
Sudah sangat cantik, lugu, manis, bisa memimpin rapat, mengatur keuangan, lalu dingin ke semua laki-laki lain selain suaminya… sungguh tipe yang sangat elegan, idaman semua pria!
Tanpa sadar, Bayu melihat ada gemerlap di pipi Nyonya Selin. “Nangis? Sial, kenapa sih harus punya suami kayak Pak Bram? Argh, andai aku punya kuasa dan layak bersanding, Nyonya pasti udah bahagia. Argh, sialan emang si Bram-Bram itu!”
Gumaman Bayu sepertinya didengar Nyonya Selin yang langsung melihat celah pintu. Cepat-cepat wanita itu membetulkan syalnya, lalu menatap tajam ke arah Bayu.
"Siapa kamu?!"
Tiba tiba, teguran dari sang nyonya membuat Bayu menggeleng panik dan segera menunduk. "Ah, tidak. Tidak, Nyonya... saya...."
Belum selesai Bayu bicara, nyonya Selin memotong, "Kamu sopir baru suamiku?"
Bayu bisa menjadi sopir karena waktu Pak Bram ada kunjungan survei tanah ke desa, supir pribadi Pak Bram mengajukan resign dan Bayu disuruh menggantikan.
Sang supir dan Bayu sudah kenal lama, karena dulu Bayu sering dipanggil untuk memasok sayur dan buah dari desa ke hotel-hotel. Karena puas dengan cara Bayu menyetir, maka Bayu langsung diangkat jadi supir pribadi Pak Bram.
Tapi sekarang, Bayu malah terjebak dalam situasi sangat genting, yang bisa mempertaruhkan pekerjaannya.
"I-iya, Nyonya," jawab Bayu yang gugup sehingga keringat mulai membasahi keningnya.
Sebelum Bayu sempat bereaksi, Nyonya Selin kemudian berdiri. Dari syal yang tipis itu, Bayu masih melihat chocochips yang menyembul. Dan sialnya, Bayu baru tahu ada chocochips yang warnanya merah muda.
Semakin dekat langkah Nyonya Selin, semakin berdegup pula jantung Bayu.
"Awasi suamiku, lalu lapor semua gerak-geriknya ke aku, terutama saat dia bertemu dengan sekretaris pribadi dan cleaning yang biasa menghidangkan kopi di kantornya!"
“Ta-tapi…”
The airport was over thirty kilometers away from Toppy lsland, and it took almost an hour to get there by highway. The nanny car arrived at the terminal just before 1 a.m. After thanking Arthur repeatedly, Laurette got out of the car. The sea breeze was a little cold in the night, and she couldn't help but shiver. She watched the nanny car drive away and brushed her hair, which had been blown by the sea breeze, before walking quickly towards the pier. The sea view was vast, and she could see a deserted island hidden in the distance under the cover of darkness, like a fierce beast lurking in the darkness. As soon as Laurette arrived at the pier, she saw a black wooden boat sailing towards her, with white waves churning on the water's surface and the sound of the radar shaking the sky. She hurried over and saw a crew member carrying a camera getting off the boat. "Excuse me, are you a crew member of the 48hrs Survival program?" "l am. And you are?" The muscular yo
Laurette glanced at the man's hand, which was holding a shoebox. She recognized the brand as a luxury one, but she politely declined, "No, thank you, please thank Mr. Arthur for me." The assistant forcefully handed her the box, "Miss Laurette, please try them on. Mr. Arthur said he couldn't bear to see your injured heel." Laurette's heart warmed, but she hesitated. The assistant ran back before she could say anything, and she turned to see Arthur waving at her from afar. A sour feeling rose in her heart. A stranger she had only met twice noticed her injury, but the man she had shared a bed with for five years was indifferent to her. She thought their relationship had improved that night at the Rodriguez's mansion, but it turned out to be her own wishful thinking. Arthur's kindness touched Laurette, and she silently thanked him before turning to chase after the tall figure that was getting farther away. Laurette ran out of the airport, feeling like her feet were abo
Carlson's car was parked outside the sports center. The fans had already entered, leaving the area deserted except fora few scattered security guards. Laurette got into the car and anxiously asked Carlson,"What's the situation now?" "The person is still missing," Carlson drove the car out. "I talked to the program team. This episode is called 'In the Wonderland'. The staff went to the island in advance and there are no aggressive creatures on the island. There shouldn't be any life-threatening danger." Laurette looked serious. "Have they searched everywhere?" "They're still searching. There's a primitive forest on the island, and it's too big to search quickly. They're worried that Miss Irene might have fallen into the sea," Carlson said worriedly. "Unless she's tired of living, " Laurette knew that Irene couldn't swim, so she wouldn't go near the beach. "Isn't there a camera crew following her? Cameras are also installed at every information point. How did she get
Arthur looks even better in person than on TV, with clear eyebrows and handsome features that make him unforgettable at first sight. "Your foot is injured. Here's a band-aid. Put it on," he stood in front of Laurette, opened his palm, and revealed a band-aid lying in it. Laurette was very surprised. She took the band-aid and said, "Thank you." Arthur nodded at her and left with his assistants. Laurette watched his tall figure and then looked down at the band-aid in her hand. He truly lives up to the dream of 900 million young girls, handsome and kind-hearted. After putting on the band-aid, Laurette's heel didn't hurt as much. She walked quickly towards the trainee dressing room. It was almost 7 o'clock, and the trainees were all leaving. The young boys with stage makeup were full of energy, excited and expectant, talking to their companions. Laurette walked along the wall to avoid bumping into them. Then she heard someone calling her, "You're Joe's agent, rig
Five years ago at this time was a delicate moment, and Bryce couldn't help but think more about it. Looking at Laurette's eyes at this moment, it was as if there was a flame of expectation burning within them. Laurette pushed him, but he didn't move. There were footsteps passing by outside t
I was frightened, my eyes widened like copper bells, and my voice stuttered, "N-no, I can wash myself." Bryce nodded slightly with some regret and turned to leave, closing the door behind him. I leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. I stood under the shower, and the warm water wa
When I woke up, it was dark outside with only the dim light of a street lamp shining into the room, reflecting off the walls. I stared at the dark ceiling in a daze. Had I died? But why could I still feel the pain spreading from my heart? "Cough, cough, cough.." I suddenly coughed. T
Laurette POV I followed behind Mrs. Ava into the living room and saw two large bags of brewed traditional medicine on the coffee table. My eyebrows twitched fiercely. I've always been afraid of taking medicine, especially traditional medicine. Mrs. Ava pointed to the pile of medicine and
