Dalam perjalanan ke bank untuk menyetor uang, aku tidak sengaja menemukan sebuah postingan: [Pernahkah Anda melakukan sesuatu yang sulit diungkapkan tanpa diketahui pasangan Anda?] Di bawah postingan, seorang netizen berkomentar : [Aku diam-diam mendaftarkan pernikahanku dengan cinta pertamaku, tapi pacarku masih menyetor uang ke rekening bersama kami. Dia benar-benar bodoh. Dia kira aku benar-benar ingin menabung untuk membeli rumah dan menikahinya.] [Sudah ada 1,3 miliyar di dalam rekening, ketika dia sudah menabung sampai 1,6 miliyar, aku akan diam-diam menariknya!] Aku melihat komentar itu banyak disukai, lalu melihat saldo rekeningku. Tidak lebih, tidak kurang, pas 1,3 miliyar. Ternyata pacarku dan cinta pertamanya telah mendaftarkan pernikahan mereka!

Due to my outstanding performance, Mdm. Hall granted me flexible working hours. After a full night of entertaining clients, I had barely fallen asleep when a colleague’s call jolted me awake. “It’s already 9:30 a.m.! How could you be late again?” I patiently explained that I had worked late signing contracts last night. So, I would not be coming into the office this morning. However, my colleague scoffed. “Don’t think that being the top salesperson gives you free rein to skip work! “The heiress, Ms. Hall, is visiting the office for the first time today! “If you upset her, you’d better watch out. She’ll have you fired!” I pushed through my headache and searched my memory. The heiress he mentioned was Cadence Hall. If I was not mistaken, she was the woman who had been desperate to marry into my family.

Alejandro was always favoured by their father while Antonello is his mother's favourite. Alessandro was no one's favourite even though he is perfect in every way. The classic forgotten middle child syndrome. The sense of belongingness was strong but he also knows that he won't get it from the Gambinos for reasons unknown. Still, he trained the same way as his brother and he did all the dirty work for him. Alessandro draw the line when he came home one day and found his brother married Gabriella. He left the family when he realized that no matter what he does, he will never be one of them.

Vanessa De Luna would have never gone back to Russia if it weren't for her mother's funeral. They stopped talking when her mother's favorite godson stood her up on the altar without an explanation years ago. Now she's a successful singer in the Philippines with suitors left and right hoping to get her attention, and yet her stupid heart still beats for the same man-Konstantin Morozov. What Vanessa doesn't know is that her mother was murdered, and all evidence points to Stan, Konstantin's father. With everything that's happening around her while waiting for the reading of the will, Vanessa can feel that she's next. Konstantin seems to always know when to save her. His timing is impeccable. Is he an ally or a foe?

This isn't your typical Cinderella or damsel in distress tale. Briella served as the CEO of Star Airlines. Beautiful, successful, and badass. Despite her wealth, her parents never loved her as much as they did Sage, her step-sister. Sage wasn't particularly bright. She spent her parents' money and manipulated them to get what she wanted, but she was still the most loved. Sage was engaged to be married to a business tycoon with operations all over the world. A day before the wedding, she changed her mind. Why? She didn't want to marry him because she had found someone better. Briella had to step in and be the bride because their parents and Kendrick's parents refused to cancel the wedding. Was she willing to spend her life with someone she'd never met? When Kendrick's wife loses her memories of him, the tables are turned. Will his efforts be fruitful?

Aku sudah menikah dengan Dennis selama sepuluh tahun. Aku bahkan pernah bertemu dengan mantan pacarnya setelah kami menikah. Setiap kali dia bosan dan ingin ganti pasangan, aku selalu jadi alasan terbaik untuk putus dengan setiap pacarnya. “Kamu akan jadi seperti dia kalau menikah denganku. Pada akhirnya, akan bosan karena terlalu akrab dan terbiasa, jadi nggak ada perasaan baru lagi.” Di hari peringatan pernikahan kami, aku malah sibuk menghibur mahasiswi yang baru saja dia putuskan, sementara dia asik menonton bioskop bersama pacar barunya. Saat tisu di tanganku habis, aku seakan melihat bayangan diriku di masa lalu. Jadi, aku pun mengajukan cerai pada Dennis. Dia jarang sekali tampak bingung begitu dan berkata, “Nggak mau tunggu sebentar lagi? Siapa tahu aku bakal sadar dan berubah. Aku hanya tersenyum tipis tanpa menjawab, lalu memesan tiket menuju negeri seberang. Jika aku tak bisa menunggu kepulanganmu, biarlah aku yang melangkah pergi lebih dulu.

Kadang, cinta datang di saat yang belum tepat tapi cinta tak selamanya benar-benar tamat. Di hari ulang tahunnya yang ke-17, Lidya kehilangan semuanya. Belum usai dengan rasa sedihnya, pabrik milik orang tuanya terancam hilang karena Lidya hanyalah anak perempuan. Keputusasaan membawanya menerima tawaran Kendra Wijanarko, sahabat baik kakaknya demi masa depan. Siapa sangka, tawaran itu justru akan mendatangkan banyak ujian dalam kehidupan Lidya. Ken, laki-laki yang tak hanya dingin dan arogan tapi juga posesif dan penuh misteri bagi Lidya, membuat Lidya terjebak dalam perasaan yang tak bisa diungkap. Hingga sebuah kesalahpahaman harus membuat mereka terpisah, meskipun takdir kembali mempertemukan dalam perasaan yang belum sepenuhnya selesai. Apakah cinta yang terluka akan menemukan jalannya? atau justru akan lebih menghancurkan karena terbukanya sebuah rahasia?

Di sebuah kampus yang kelihatannya biasa aja, delapan mahasiswa dengan karakter yang saling bertolak belakang nggak pernah nyangka kalau pertemuan mereka bakal jadi titik balik hidup masing-masing. Aurelya, cewek yang terkenal galak dan susah didekati, cuma kelihatan kuat di luar. Raksa, cowok pendiam yang kelihatannya dingin, diam-diam punya cara sendiri bikin orang terpanggil ke arahnya. Mereka selalu bentrok, tapi setiap benturan justru bikin mereka makin sulit menjauh. Di sekitar mereka, ada teman-teman lain yang perlahan masuk ke pusaran cerita: Nayara yang misterius tapi punya hati paling lembut. Satya yang tenang dan selalu bisa baca suasana. Arya yang populer tapi rapuh tanpa ada yang tahu. Shafira yang sederhana dan jadi perekat kelompok. Keira dan Dewa yang ribut tiap hari tapi kalau jauh justru saling nyari. Vanya dan Elvano yang deketnya dimulai dari obrolan receh dan saling goda. Awalnya semua cuma terasa sebagai pertemanan ringan: kelas, tugas, nongkrong, saling ngeledek, dan konflik kecil khas anak kampus. Tapi makin lama, batas antara teman dan “lebih dari teman” mulai kabur. Perasaan pelan-pelan tumbuh, diam-diam, tanpa ada yang berani ngaku duluan. Sampai akhirnya masa lalu masing-masing kebuka sedikit demi sedikit— luka keluarga, trauma yang mereka tutup rapat, kegagalan, kehilangan… Semua itu bikin kelompok ini nyaris pecah karena salah paham dan ego. Beberapa hubungan mulai bersemi, beberapa hampir kandas. Ada yang saling suka tapi gengsi. Ada yang saling sayang tapi saling menjauh. Ada yang saling butuh tapi belum berani mengaku. Dan saat krisis terbesar datang— kehilangan, gosip, hancurnya kepercayaan, hilangnya seseorang dari lingkaran— mereka sadar satu hal: Cinta dan persahabatan nggak pernah tentang siapa yang paling kuat, tapi siapa yang mau tetap tinggal ketika semuanya runtuh. Perlahan… mereka belajar tumbuh. Buka luka yang selama ini ditutup. Belajar jatuh cinta dengan cara yang lebih dewasa. Dan berdamai dengan masa lalu masing-masing.

Siya’y isang mahirap na babaeng lumaking nakadepende ang kanyang buhay sa iba. Napilitang maging isang panakipbutas sa krimen at piniling ipagpalit ang kalayaan na nagresulta sa kanyang pagkabuntis. Siya naman ay ang pinakatanyag na binata na sagana sa kayaman at kapangyarihan. Kumbinsido siyang isa siyang anak ng kasamaan na napalilibutan ng kasakiman at panlilinlang. Hindi siya nito magawang mapainit kaya naman mas pinili niyang umalis sa tabi nito. Galit na galit niyang sinumpa na gagawin niya ang lahat upang mahanap siya saan mang lupalop ng mundo ito naroon. Alam ng buong lungsod ang kanyang kapalarang tila mauupos sa ilang milyong piraso. Nagmamakaawa niyang tinanong, “Umalis ako sa relasyong ito nang walang kinuhang kahit ano, bakit hindi mo pa ako pakawalan?” Sinagot sya nito na may pagmamalaki, “Ninakaw mo ang puso ko at iniluwal ang aking anak, ngayon pipiliin mong umalis?”
