I never wanted any part in this. But I have no choice. With a deep sigh, I force down an invisible lump in my throat, looking up at the priest. I press my fingers tighter into the flower I am holding, hoping it hides how much I am shaking. Dreading the words the priest is about to utter. “Do you, Ariella Cecilia Boone, take Dermos Salvatore to be your lawfully wedded husband?” The priest asks. I blink. I badly want to say it, badly want to scream that I am not Ariella Cecilia Boone. My lips tremble as I force the truth down my throat, “Yes, I do.” I murmur, my voice a little over a whisper. ~~~~ Ariel Hannah Boone didn't know what life had in store for her when she woke up on her twin sister's wedding day, only to find out her sister had run away.

Ariel has to choose between a love built on lies or betraying her sister and family. She was his bride, and he was her prison, yet he would never let her go.

Dua belas tahun cinta, kesetiaan, dan janji. Semua hancur dalam satu tembakan. Aria mengira dia tahu arti cinta. Pengorbanan, kesabaran, dan keyakinan buta pada pria yang sudah dia panggil tunangannya selama lebih dari 10 thahun. Namun, di Hari Valentine, ketika pistol diarahkan ke mereka, Liam secara naluriah melindungi mantan kekasihnya, Sophia, sementara Aria dibiarkan berdarah dan diabaikan. "Kamu hampir mati!" "Dan dia bahkan nggak menatapku, Lili. Dia malah memeluk wanita itu seolah-olah aku nggak berarti apa-apa." Terbelah antara patah hati dan harga diri, Aria mengambil langkah berani. Dia menikahi Aiden Candra, rival Liam yang kaya, dalam tindakan balas dendam yang impulsif. Namun, Aiden bukan sekadar pelarian. Dia pria yang kuat, posesif, dan secara tak terduga protektif. Sekali dia menginginkan sesuatu, dia tidak akan melepaskannya. Kini, terjebak antara cinta yang mengecewakannya dan pria yang mungkin menuntut lebih dari yang siap dia berikan, hati Aria menghadapi ujian terakhirnya. Akankah dia akhirnya menjadi pilihan pertama seseorang, atau justru kehilangan dirinya sendiri dalam perjuangan itu?

“Apa yang bisa saya lakukan supaya nilai saya bagus, Pak?” Diana bersandar di kursinya, menatap penuh arti pada pria yang dikenal sebagai dosen killer itu. Dosen dengan reputasi dingin bernama Damar Setyawan itu menaikkan satu alis. Senyum tipis melintas di wajahnya yang lebih mirip ejekan daripada keramahan. “Kamu sudah gagal empat kali, Diana. Kamu tahu artinya? Gelar sarjanamu bisa lenyap. Masa depanmu habis.” Diana pura-pura menggigit bibir bawahnya, lalu mencondongkan tubuhnya pada pria itu. “Kalau begitu … saya harus cari jalan lain, ‘kan?” suaranya terdengar manja, sengaja dibuat lirih. “Saya tahu Bapak bisa bantu. Saya bisa … membalas dengan cara lain.” Diana berhenti sebentar, menahan senyum nakal di bibir. “Saya bisa kok jadi sugar baby Bapak,” lanjutnya, pelan tapi jelas. “Anggap saja … kompensasi tutup mulut atas malam itu.” Tatapan Damar mengeras, seakan menimbang keseriusannya. Tapi Diana tidak bergeming. Ia justru semakin berani, bibirnya mendekat ke telinga pria itu. “Saya serius, Pak,” bisiknya dengan mata berkilat menantang. “Kapan kita mulai?”
