Other than the girl he finds pleasure in bullying, a girl he's in love with. At some point he won't be able to hold in his feelings any longer, it'll start to peek out.______________________________"You look like you just got banged!" He teased as he glanced at my state."What, no I don't?" I said, well more like asked uncertainly as I passed my hand through my unruly hair. I felt the disheveled strands as my finger tugged at some knots.Niall chuckled "Your hair is a mess and your shirt is inside out." He pointed out. My hand automatically went to my shirt as I tugged it and looked around at the prying eyes of the other students."Oh shit!" I muttered once I realized that indeed it was inside out. Gosh this is embarrassing. I pulled down my skirt suddenly feeling self conscious and pulled my shirt higher as I saw a little bit of my boobs peeking out."You also have a lot of love bites." He pointed out again louder than needed, making me give him a lethal look. If looks could kill he would have been dead right now. Maybe I can arrange that."Shut up don't point it out!" I hissed. I'm gonna kill Asher.

Rahayu, seorang wanita tangguh yang hidupnya penuh perjuangan, meninggal dunia akibat sebuah kecelakaan tragis. Saat membuka mata kembali, ia terbangun dalam tubuh seorang pria bernama Radit — seorang pengangguran dari keluarga miskin yang kehidupannya hancur akibat kesalahan besar di masa lalu. Radit adalah lelaki yang dulu memperkosa Velia Anindya Prameswari, wanita kaya raya, hingga pernikahan mereka terjadi tanpa cinta. Sejak hari itu, rumah tangga mereka dingin, penuh kebencian, dan tak berperasaan. Radit justru memanfaatkan kekayaan Velia untuk berfoya-foya, menelantarkan anak mereka Arkana yang baru berusia tiga tahun, dan melupakan ayahnya yang sakit serta keluarganya sendiri. Namun kini, jiwa Radit sudah tak lagi sama. Rahayu yang menempati tubuh itu menolak menjadi suami jahat dan ayah gagal seperti Radit. Ia bertekad menebus dosa-dosa yang pernah diperbuat tubuh ini. Dengan ketulusan, kerja keras, dan cinta yang tak pernah diberikan Radit sebelumnya, Rahayu perlahan mengubah segalanya: Ia mulai bekerja keras demi membuktikan diri, bukannya mengandalkan harta Velia. Ia belajar menjadi ayah bagi Arka, yang selama ini hanya mengenal dinginnya sosok ayah. Ia merangkul kembali keluarganya yang terluka karena ulah Radit. Ia mencoba merebut kembali kepercayaan Velia, meski hati wanita itu telah beku. Perjalanan ini tidak mudah. Masa lalu Radit yang kelam terus menghantuinya—teman-teman buruk, keluarga Velia yang memandang rendah, serta jejak luka yang terlalu dalam. Tetapi, setiap langkah kecil menuju perubahan perlahan mengikis kebencian, membuka ruang harapan, dan mengajarkan arti cinta sejati. Di balik semua itu, Rahayu menyadari bahwa kesempatan kedua yang diberikan padanya bukan untuk mengulang kehidupan, melainkan untuk menebus kesalahan orang lain dan menemukan arti hidup yang sesungguhnya. Apakah Velia mampu memaafkan? Apakah Arka bisa benar-benar memanggilnya “Ayah” dengan bangga? Dan bagaimana akhir dari rahasia transmigrasi ini ketika kebenarannya terbongkar?

Despite using my cornea, my husband, Felix Halward, forced me to kneel on glass shards. Despite using my heart, my daughter declared that I was not fit to be her mother. Before my artificial heart stopped beating, I called Felix, only to have him snap at me, “Liana, could you stop kicking up a fuss? If you want to die that badly, do it somewhere far away! I’m not collecting your corpse!” I shut my remaining left eye as I lay on the snow. Later on, Felix, who had stopped loving me, plucked out his own eyeball. My daughter, who had denounced me, tried taking her life multiple times just so that she could see me again. However, I no longer longed for their love.

The moms at the company post about me online, claiming the free daycare I provide for their kids is a "prison" and a vile tactic to force them to work overtime. What they don't know is that the daycare was set up with imported equipment and staffed by internationally trained professionals. It costs nearly eight thousand dollars a month per child to operate. The internet curses me out, calling me a show-off and disgusting capitalist. So I grit my teeth and send out a company-wide announcement. "To support everyone's desire to handle their own childcare, the company has decided to close the free daycare program. Effective immediately, it will be replaced with a childcare benefit. Eligible mothers will receive 200 dollars a month." As soon as the notice goes out, the moms panic. They crowd outside my office, begging me not to shut it down.

Kaden Zacarias and I have been together for a decade. He gives me all his love throughout that time. But one day, I see the news of him marrying Gwendolyn Crawford as part of a marriage alliance. He tells his friends, "I'm only fooling around with Ella—does she think I'll actually marry her? It's not like my parents will ever agree to it. I can just keep her around as a mistress after getting married. Remember to keep your mouths shut about this." Our decade-long love goes up in flames, but I don't question him. Instead, I call my father with a withered heart and say, "I'll go through with the marriage alliance. I'll leave the country."
