Sanggupkah Hanin mempertahankan pernikahannya dengan Eris yang penuh godaan mantan? Atau dia memilih mundur dan menerima cinta Eros, saudara kembar suaminya yang ternyata menyukainya lebih dulu sebelum dia berstatus sebagai ipar?

On the day of my wedding anniversary, I was cleaning my house when I found a picture album. As it turned out, my husband had been religiously taking pictures with the girl of his dreams every year on this precise date. He had been doing it since he was forty years old and he was now sixty years old. His hair had progressed from a jet black to a faded white and yet, he kept up the tradition. There was a written message in his handwriting at the back of the picture that read, “Eternal Love.” Since he doesn't love me, I will no longer bother washing his clothes and cooking for him. I will no longer care for his children and grandchildren. I may have foolishly wasted half of my life, but it was not too late to make a change.

When my daughter, Lily Gage, has a parent-teacher meeting going on, she requests that my wife, Melody Hutton, and I attend it. Yet, Melody doesn't inform me about the meeting. Instead, she takes her secretary, Benjamin Carter, to the meeting. After the meeting, Melody explains that she doesn't have the heart to interrupt me, seeing as I'm too busy with work. In order to maintain the peace of this family, I decide to endure Melody's shenanigans just this once. But one day, Lily has gotten into a fight with another student at school. By the time I arrive, I witness Benjamin dealing with the situation with Lily in his arms. After asking Lily's teacher for more information, I find out that Lily has actually changed an emergency contact. Apparently, she has filled in Benjamin's contact information in the father's column. Also, Melody has given her permission for Lily to make the change. At that moment, I've lost all interest in staying in this family. That night, I bring up divorce in front of Melody. She just smiles mockingly at me. "So, you want to get divorced just because Benjamin's an emergency contact now?" "That's right."

Pour Isabelle, ce jour devait être le plus beau. Mais il est devenu le pire, celui qui a basculé son monde. La trahison de son fiancé a brisé son cœur alors qu’il venait à peine de lui jurer un amour éternel. Cette blessure fut si profonde qu’elle faillit l’emporter, la contraignant à disparaître, à changer d’identité et à vivre loin de tout, même de son bien-aimé Clément. Quatre ans plus tard, celle qui se fait désormais appeler Rachelle revient, animée par une seule obsession : se venger de celui qui est responsable de son sort. Mais son plan prend une tournure inattendue dès son retour lorsqu’elle croise le chemin de Clément. À sa stupéfaction, il la reconnaît instantanément, refusant de croire à sa nouvelle vie. « Même si tu reviens avec une autre identité, je sais que tu m’aimes toujours », dit Clément d’un ton amusé en la serrant fort dans ses bras. « Lâchez-moi, monsieur. Je m’appelle Rachelle, et non Isabelle », rétorque-t-elle, furieuse, en essayant de se dégager. « Je t’ai toujours mieux connue que toi-même. Que ces quelques années loin de moi ne te trompent pas : tu es mon Isabelle, l’amour de ma vie », insiste-t-il en resserrant son étreinte. « Plus jamais je ne te laisserai partir. Tu es à moi, et à moi seul. » Tiraillée entre sa soif de vengeance et les sentiments tumultueux que sa présence réveille, Rachelle/Isabelle se retrouve à un carrefour. Parviendra-t-elle à mener à bien sa revanche, ou l’emprise persistante de Clément et le passé qu’ils ont partagé auront-ils raison de sa colère ? Son retour marquera-t-il la fin de leur histoire d’amour, ou le début d’un nouveau chapitre, forgé dans le pardon ou la destruction ?

Saya lelaki biasa yang boleh dibilang culun dan cupu. Tiba-tiba saya mengenal seorang artis yang sedang naik daun. Dia cantik, langsing dan sangat seksi. Lalu kami menjadi dekat. Lama-lama dia selalu mencari saya seperti orang kecanduan. Saya menikmati itu. Tidak ada orang lain yang seberuntung saya waktu itu. “Malam ini Kakak tidur di kamar aku ya, pokoknya harus nemenin aku,” pintanya yang membuat saya panas dingin. Dan setelah itu, dia benar-benar tak mau melepaskan saya lagi. Tapi saya harus menjauh darinya, karena saya tahu itu bukan cinta. Saya tak mau terjebak terlalu jauh di dalamnya karena saya sudah telalu mencintainya. Saya tak mau sakit karenanya. IG Penulis : @hakayikumai

"This year, there's only one spot available–and I fought hard to secure it for you. "If things don't work out with Baron Cole, I'll talk to him. You two have a strong relationship. Waiting a few years won't matter." As I stared at the application form my professor handed me, my hands would not stop trembling. In my previous life, I spent forty years married to Baron. We raised a son and a daughter. I thought that was what a complete, fulfilled life looked like. However, after he died, while sorting through his belongings, I found a box filled with letters and photographs. That was when I learned the truth–he had always loved someone else. She was his first love… and the biological daughter of the family that raised me. Back in 1984, he hid my study-abroad application, giving the opportunity to her instead. From that moment on, I became a housewife. And he devoted himself to helping the woman he loved rise–until she returned from overseas as a celebrated professor. Even my own son later turned their story into a drama, glorifying their restrained, enduring love. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day I first received that application form. This time, I did not hesitate. "Professor, I'm going abroad."
