When I find out that Joe Herring—the man I've loved for ten years—is planning a grand proposal, I'm so thrilled I can't sleep a wink that night. But the next day, everyone in the pack is buzzing about how Alpha Joe just proposed to my stepsister, Nora Safford. He comes to me afterward, trying to explain. "It's not even real, Anna. Nora doesn't have anyone in the pack. I'm just doing her a favor. "Don't worry. I'll break it off before the mate-bonding ceremony next week. Then we'll have our ceremony, just like we planned." But over and over, he keeps asking me to compromise for Nora. And when the mate-bonding ceremony finally arrives, he's still with her. So in the end, I let her have him and walk away without a word.

Malam acara perpisahan wisudawan itu mengubah segalanya. Persahabatan Anetta dan Anthony yang terjalin sejak kecil tak lagi seperti sebelumnya. Pengaruh minuman dan hasrat yang tak tertahankan membuat mereka menyingkap perasaan yang selama ini tersembunyi. Sekali kejadian itu, dinding pertahanan mereka runtuh, meninggalkan kebingungan, kerinduan, dan rahasia yang membara. Kini, kedekatan yang dulu hangat antara sahabat telah berubah dipenuhi godaan dan ketidakpastian. Setiap tatap, setiap sentuhan, membawa mereka pada pilihan yang bisa menyatukan atau menghancurkan. Dan di balik malam itu, tersimpan rahasia yang siap menguji hati, persahabatan, dan cinta mereka. Sebuah awal dari cerita yang tak lagi bisa diulang atau diabaikan.

At the banquet to welcome her home from her studies abroad, my fiancee, Sienna Vaughn, shows up hand-in-hand with her foreign boyfriend, Jacques Castillo. She announces that she is calling off our engagement. Her parents, Harold Vaughn and Marissa Jenning, beg desperately for me to try to win her back, for the sake of all those years we spent together during our childhood. But this time, I refuse. "Let's end the engagement. From today onward, we'll go our separate ways," I say. … In my previous life, I had taken pity on Harold and Marissa and sincerely tried to keep Sienna by my side. In the end, she agreed to marry me. But three years later, my shares were siphoned away, my company went bankrupt, and I was left with massive debts. Unable to handle the burden, my parents, Ralph Hale and Emily Pierce, passed away. Sienna, nestled in Jacques' arms, spat, "You owe me this!" … Now that I am given a second chance at life, I return to the very day she returned from abroad. This time, she can marry whoever she wants. She thinks that I'm marrying her to save my company from ruin. But little does she know that the one really headed for bankruptcy is her family.

While I've been unconscious for 12 days after getting into a car crash, I end up spending 12 years wandering in my dreams. In my dreams, I play the role as the fake mafia principessa. I've committed all atrocious crimes for the sake of my lover, Marcello Gallo, only for him to expose me in front of everyone on our wedding day. In the end, I freeze to death on the streets. When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day Marcello brings the real principessa, Viviana Sabato, home. He's still gazing at me as sincerely as he did in the past. But I know that in the future, he will cross his fingers while making our vows before the priest. Even if I have to go through everything one more time, I know that I must give up on Marcello no matter how genuine his feelings are for me right now.

Demi menarik mereka yang telah menghancurkan hidupku. Kini aku memilih menggenggam tangan pria berasal dari kegelapan, menjatuhkan diriku sendiri sembari menghancur leburkan mereka, sayangnya aku justru semakin jatuh dalam permainanku sendiri. Aku mencintai sosok kegelapan yang justru tampak bercahaya di mataku. Ia adalah polaris yang selalu berpendar di langit hatiku. Meski akal beserta indera di tubuhku menyadari ia hanyalah sosok fana terikat dalam untaian benang perjanjian dan menjalankan peran sebagai seorang 'kepala keluarga' khayalanku. Cinta dan perasaan kami adalah sebuah dosa, semakin lama kian menusuk lebih dalam serta menorehkan luka pada kami. Hanya saja, aku akan tetap memilih jalan yang sama dan menerima uluran tangannya. Bahkan aku akan tetap memilih jatuh dalam pelukannya dan ia pun begitu. Dan jika kelak jiwaku pergi, Selamanya ia akan selalu menjadi Suami Tercinta ku hingga nanti.

Reborn as the long-lost Rogers heir, missing for fifteen years, I avoided every chance to bond with my two brothers in this family. When they tossed me Vivi’s discarded, ill-fitting gown for the family gala, I smiled and put it on. When they sent Vivi to get an elite education while ordering me to scrub the utility room, I picked up the mop without a word. When they let Vivi chase love and dumped her rejected suitor on me, I didn’t fight. I accepted her leftovers with a calm nod. This was all because in my past life, I had spent my entire life desperate for my brothers' approval, only to end up despised by everyone for it. When I died in the crossfire of a gangland shootout, my own son pushed my body away in disgust. "Mom, did you really waste your whole life on such a petty fight with Aunt Vivi? Dying for the family would have been a more dignified end. At least then you wouldn't have disgraced our name." I left this world filled with resentment, only to open my eyes and find myself back at the moment I first set foot in the Rogers estate. This time, I'm done fighting. The power, the name, the honor. I'm letting them have it all. I’ve already been accepted into a closed-door medical project. Soon they will never see me again.
