Alin Artinya

Kami sudah menikah selama lima tahun. Suamiku, Derrick, pergi dinas selama setengah tahun, lalu membawa pulang cinta pertamanya, Syifa. Syifa sudah hamil lebih dari tiga bulan dan Derrick bilang hidupnya tidak mudah, jadi akan tinggal di rumahku untuk sementara waktu. Aku menolak, tetapi Derrick malah memintaku untuk jangan bersikap tidak tahu diri. Nada bicaranya penuh rasa jijik, seolah-olah dia lupa vila ini adalah bagian dari mas kawinku. Selama ini, mereka sekeluarga menggunakan uangku. Kali ini, aku memutuskan untuk menghentikan semua sokongan hidup itu. Sambil tersenyum, aku menelepon asisten. "Segera buatkan aku surat perjanjian cerai. Seorang menantu pecundang saja berani terang-terangan membawa selingkuhan pulang ke rumah."

Pagkatapos ng matagumpay na business deal sa Batangas, nanatili si Jericho sa isang resort upang magpahinga at magdiwang. Gayunman, nabalewala ang kanyang pahinga nang tawagan siya ng ama upang ipaalala ang nalalapit na pamamanhikan para sa nakaayos na kasal ng kanyang kapatid. Ipinakita rito ang impluwensya ng pamilya at tradisyon sa kanilang buhay—mga desisyong tila nakaplano na kahit hindi pa sila handa. Ngunit malinaw ang paninindigan ni Jericho: siya mismo ang pipili ng babaeng pakakasalan niya. Sa gitna ng kanyang pagod at kalasingan, isang hindi inaasahang pangyayari ang gumising sa kanya—ang pagdating ni Danica, anak ng kanyang business partner. Tahasang ipinakita ng babae ang kanyang pagnanasa at balak na mapalapit kay Jericho, maging walang commitment man. Lumalabas na nais din ng ama ni Danica na maging manugang si Jericho. Ngunit matatag siyang tumanggi. Ayaw niya ng sapilitang relasyon o kasal na hindi niya pinili. Sa unang kabanata pa lamang, nahahayag na ang karakter ni Jericho bilang isang lalaking may prinsipyo, hindi basta nagpapadala sa tukso, at handang labanan ang dikta ng iba para sa sariling kalayaan.

I have been a keeper of many secrets since I was old enough to know what secrets were. No one knows the truth or the real me. No one knows about the abuse I suffer from my father behind closed doors. No one knows about the cuts and scars I hide from the world. To the outside world, I am your average teenager, but the truth is, I am a broken girl with no one to love her, to see the real sadness in my eyes. I keep it to myself because I want to. It is things I have hidden for years, and no one seems to notice. Until him, Ryland. The new boy in the town. The stranger who sees right through me from the second we meet. We are drawn to one another like a moth to the flame. The more I get to know him, the more I see I am not the only one fighting demons. To start with, he is a pain in my ass, but every day we grow closer, and we become what the other needs. A bond develops between us, one that becomes unbreakable. Neither of us realised that when two broken souls come together, it would be exactly what we needed to help one another heal. He shows me love, something I haven’t had since I lost my mother. I soon learn that just because you are broken doesn’t mean it needs to stay that way. Your past doesn’t need to define you. Possible Trigger Warnings: Physical abuse (It does happen, not often and not in too much detail). Rape, suicide, and self-harm are also mentioned. It doesn’t happen in the book, but it's discussed.
