Di usia 20 tahun, ibunya memanfaatkan selembar hasil tes kehamilan untuk memaksa Keluarga Suryana menikahkan putra sulung mereka dengan Renee. Pernikahan itu akhirnya berlangsung selama tiga tahun. Arvin membencinya sampai ke lubuk hati terdalam, tetapi tidak bisa lari dari takdir untuk menikah dengannya. Setelah pernikahan, Arvin kerap bermain api dengan berbagai wanita dan selalu mengabaikannya. Demi mempertahankan citra istri yang baik dan demi anaknya, Renee menahan diri berkali-kali. Sampai suatu hari, cinta sejati Arvin datang mencarinya. Anak laki-laki yang telah dia lahirkan dengan taruhan nyawa, justru memanggil wanita itu dengan sebutan "Mama". Saat itulah dia baru sadar, hati Arvin bukan tidak bisa dihangatkan, tetapi sejak awal memang hanya menyala untuk wanita lain. Renee meninggalkan surat perjanjian cerai, lalu pergi tanpa menoleh lagi.

'Teka lang?' Are you sure that's really 'teka lang?" Napayuko na lang siya dahil sa pagalit na natanong ng lalaki. Halatang napipikon na sa kaniya. Inilapit pa nito ang mukha sa kaniya para iparamdam sa kaniya ang inis nito at nagsalita, "Remember, I paid a hefty 10.5 million at the auction just to purchase you. You wouldn't have even set foot in that auction if you hadn't given your consent. So now that you're under my ownership, don't think you can fool me with your usual 'teka lang, sir' tactics kasi kabisado ko na 'yan." Para siyang tinanggalan ng utak na nakatunganga sa pinagsasabi nito na ang tanging naintindihan lang ay ang salitang, 'kabisado ko na 'yan.' Ano naman ang alam niya sa English kasi tulog naman siya lagi sa subject na iyon noong nag-aaral pa siya. Para naman huminahon ito, nagsalita na lang siya. "Ahm...wag ka na magalit sir, maghuhugas lang naman ako. Ayaw mo naman ng mabaho, diba?"

Giselle Shaw, the intern, has sent a five-dollar bonus to the company's group chat that has 500 members in it. I get crowned as the luckiest person for being able to claim 20 cents from the bonus. So, Giselle tags me in the group chat immediately. "Hey Rebecca! Since you're the luckiest person in the group chat, why don't you send a bonus here? There are 500 people in this group chat altogether, so you can just send 5,000 dollars here. "5,000 dollars isn't much for you, right? It so happens to be the bonus you've received from Mr. Gallagher because of the project you've secured. You can send us the bonus so that we can get some good luck from you!" The moment I refuse, Giselle begins playing the pity card in the group chat by claiming that she can't reap good luck for everyone in the company. My boyfriend, Vincent Gallagher, rushes into my office and starts berating me angrily. "Rebecca Campbell, just how stingy are you to not want to send a five-thousand-dollar bonus to the group chat despite being a higher-up in this company? You even made a young woman cry! Is this how you do things? "You'd better send a 50-thousand-dollar bonus to the group chat right now and write a five-thousand-word apology letter by hand! I want you to sincerely apologize to Giselle as well! Otherwise, I'll break up with you! You can forget about retaining your position in this company, too!"

Ini adalah malam tahun baru ketiga sejak suamiku bangkrut. Rumah kami begitu miskin sampai tidak tersisa beras sedikit pun. Dia bilang, dia ingin makan daging. Dengan suhu minus 20 derajat dan badai salju lebat, aku menahan dingin sambil mengendarai motor listrik tua untuk mengambil pesanan kerja lepas. Jalanan terlalu licin. Aku dan motorku terperosok ke selokan. Beberapa tulang rusukku patah dan di tengah salju yang menutupi langit, tubuhku perlahan kehilangan suhu. Menjelang ajal, tanganku masih mencengkeram erat kotak lauk daging goreng yang kubeli khusus untuk tambahan makanannya. Setelah jiwaku meninggalkan tubuh, aku melayang kembali ke rumah kontrakan kami yang selalu berangin, tetapi tak ada seorang pun di sana. Aku keluar dan melihat suamiku berdiri rapi dengan setelan jas di sebuah vila mewah yang hanya terpisah satu jalan. Di tangannya sedang menggoyangkan segelas anggur merah dengan santai. Sekelompok pengawal bersikap sangat hormat kepadanya. Aku melayang mendekat dan mendengar dia bergumam, "Aku benar-benar nggak kepengin lagi jalani hidup sengsara begini. Kalau wanita bodoh itu tahu aku pewaris orang terkaya, mungkin dia akan senang setengah mati." "Tapi, ke mana dia pergi? Kenapa belum pulang untuk masak? Benar-benar makin malas saja." Namun dia tidak tahu, aku tidak bisa pulang lagi.

Di lingkungan para konglomerat, ada sebuah aturan tak tertulis, yaitu pasangan yang menikah karena aliansi keluarga boleh saja punya kehidupan masing-masing di luar. Namun, apa pun yang dibelikan untuk selingkuhan, wajib dibelikan juga untuk pasangan sah di rumah. Dean Ramosh adalah orang yang sangat berprinsip. Jadi bahkan setelah Keluarga Syahrina bangkrut, dia tetap teguh mematuhi aturan itu, bahkan memberikannya seratus kali lipat demi menghargai Calista Syahrina. Jika kartu selingkuhannya menerima uang saku 200 juta per bulan, kartu Calista harus stabil menerima 20 miliar. Baru saja Dean menghadiahi selingkuhannya perhiasan senilai dua miliar, dia langsung mengirimkan Calista sebuah cincin zamrud antik bernilai 200 miliar. Para nyonya kalangan elite yang sudah terbiasa melihat laki-laki hidup hedon bersama wanita simpanan, memang menghela napas prihatin melihat drama asmara antara Calista dan Dean yang sempat membuat heboh seantero kota. Namun, mereka tetap saja tak tahan untuk memberi saran bahwa Calista seharusnya belajar untuk merasa bersyukur. Bersyukur? Tentu saja Calista merasa bersyukur. Oleh karena itu, di hari ketika Dean terang-terangan memberikan sebuah rumah di pinggiran kota yang nilainya tak seberapa kepada selingkuhannya, Calista juga menerima sertifikat Vila Northcoast No. 1 dari tangan Dean sambil berkata, "Sepertinya aku tiba-tiba merasa agak bosan. Gimana kalau kita bercerai?"

He was supposed to be a stranger. A bruised, scarred, filthy-mouthed stranger who pinned me against a bathroom wall and made me forget the boy who broke my heart 20 minutes earlier. I walked away first without his name or number, and I didn't look back. Then I found out my mom was engaged. To his dad. Rhys Maddox. Number seventeen. 6'3" of tattoos, bruised knuckles, and the kind of jaw that makes good girls do stupid things. The most dangerous player to ever step on our ice. My one-night stand. My new stepbrother. He doesn't follow rules - he breaks them. On the ice. In my bed. Against every surface in our parents' house while they eat twenty feet away. He calls me "sis" just to watch me squirm. He watches me like he already owns me. And the worst part? He does. Publicly, we're fake dating - a deal to keep my ex-bestfriend away. Privately, we're a stepbrother and stepsister who can't keep our clothes on the second we're alone. It's our biggest secret. Now the boy who I once considered my best friend suddenly wants me back. And the stepbrother who wasn't supposed to mean anything won't let me go. One wants to protect me. One wants to destroy me. And I can't tell which is which anymore. --- For readers 18+ who like their men possessive, their romances FORBIDDEN, and their chapters dripping with filthy, unapologetic spice.

Melihat itu, Fanny langsung lemas dan terduduk di tanah dengan wajahnya yang mulai memerah dan seketika, air matanya menetes.
