As Always Adalah

Leonard Arman Atmadja, CEO muda yang terkenal dingin, logis, dan perfeksionis, hanya mempercayakan jadwal kacau-balaunya pada satu orang. Alea Arananda. Asisten pribadinya yang nyaris tidak pernah salah—tenang, sopan, cekatan, dan selalu menjadi tameng bagi karyawan lain ketika Leonard berubah menjadi badai. Di kantor, Alea adalah definisi profesionalisme. Ia selalu patuh SOP, berbicara seperlunya, dan hadir kapan pun Leonard membutuhkan. Namun Leonard tak pernah tahu satu hal. Alea memiliki sisi lain yang tidak pernah ia tunjukkan di kantor. Begitu jam kerja selesai, Alea berubah total—nakal, genit, berani, bebas. Dan yang lebih besar lagi… Alea bukan sekadar asisten biasa. Ia adalah pewaris Arananda Group, salah satu perusahaan raksasa yang sering bekerja sama dengan keluarga Atmadja. Alea menyamar sebagai asisten hanya untuk satu alasan, ia ingin dekat dengan Leonard, lelaki yang diam-diam ia kagumi sejak pertemuan bisnis lalu. Hidup keduanya berubah ketika suatu malam, Leonard—yang sedang ditekan keluarganya untuk segera menikah demi menjaga citra keluarga besar Atmadja—tanpa sengaja bertemu Alea di sebuah club. Bukan Alea yang kalem dan sopan yang ia lihat setiap hari. Melainkan Alea yang asli, menggoda, liar, bebas… dan berbahaya bagi pertahanannya. Satu malam yang seharusnya menjadi “kesalahan” justru membuka pintu hubungan terlarang antara bos dingin dan asistennya. Di kantor, mereka tetap dingin dan profesional. Namun begitu pintu tertutup, hubungan mereka menjadi intens, intim, dan tak terhindarkan. Hubungan itu terus berkembang—sampai sebuah krisis perusahaan memaksa pemilik Arananda Group turun tangan. Saat itulah identitas Alea terbongkar di depan seluruh kantor. Kantor heboh. Media berspekulasi. Keluarga Atmadja menekan Leonard untuk memutuskan hubungan. Namun pada titik itulah mereka berdua menyadari. Tidak ada lagi alasan untuk menjauh. Tidak ada lagi batas posisi. Yang tersisa hanya perasaan yang sudah terlanjur terlalu dalam. Dan hubungan rahasia itu akhirnya bermuara di pelaminan—bukan lagi sebagai CEO dan asisten, melainkan sebagai dua pewaris besar yang memilih satu sama lain.

Menghadapi setiap lika-liku permasalahan secara bersamaan dalam kondisi genting.

The morning after their night together, Harper Sullivan froze with a sudden, sickening realization—Ryan Delgado hadn't used protection. Fear coiled tight in her chest, sharp and suffocating. But Ryan just smirked, his voice smooth, teasing, as if this were some kind of game. "Our families are enemies. A baby changes that. Your father would have to accept me. Then I could marry you—properly." Heat rushed to her cheeks. She should have pushed him away, should have demanded answers—but his touch still burned through her resistance, and she gave in to him. Then, like a knife to the ribs, she heard his friend's voice from the next room, laced with cruel amusement. "Ryan, that's genius. Get her pregnant, then dump her. Harper would never recover from the scandal. And her family? Total disgrace." Ryan let out a cold, satisfied laugh. "Serves her right. She stole Olivia's spot as valedictorian, broke her heart, drove her overseas. I'll make sure she pays—this is for Olivia." Harper's body went rigid. Three years. Three years of stolen moments, swallowed secrets, letting him touch her in the dark while her family believed her loyal. And it had all been a lie. Rage and humiliation crashed over her, so violent she nearly choked on it. Her phone buzzed in her trembling hand. Fighting back tears, she answered. "Dad… I'll take the engagement."

Aku meninggal pada hari pernikahanku dengan Bradley. Karena aku tak kunjung tiba, dia marah besar dan menikahi Michelle, sahabat masa kecilnya. Di depan semua orang, dia menyatakan dengan lantang, "Beatrice berselingkuh sebelum menikah dan telah mengundurkan diri dari pertunangan!" Ibuku hancur oleh fitnah itu. Dia mengalami serangan jantung di tempat dan meninggal dunia. Namun dia lupa bahwa demi membela Michelle, dialah yang melukai lenganku dengan pisau dan mengurungku di ruang bawah tanah selama sepuluh hari sepuluh malam. Aku memohon dengan segala cara, tetapi yang kudapat darinya hanyalah kata-kata dingin. "Tetaplah di sini beberapa hari, rasakan sendiri penderitaan yang kamu timbulkan pada Michelle! Sekalian hancurkan niat jahatmu!" Namun, ketika dia akhirnya menemukan jasadku yang telah membusuk dan dimakan belatung, dia menjadi gila.

God is always fair, but the world is never fair. Sometimes to defeat bad people, you must become a bad one yourself. His bloody hands rested on his knees which were spread apart. His head was bent and he looked perfect for the job. I just offered him my hand."I don't need your help. I can get up on my own."I raised an eyebrow at him and connected my hand with his. I attempted to pull him up. But, he didn't budge. I tried again, but no luck. This time, he growled. "Stop it and get lost. Leave me alone." He pointed his finger at me. I immediately caught hold of the finger and attempted to snap it, but he was quicker than me. He caught my hand which was holding his finger and twisted it so that my arm was strangling my own neck and I was pressed against his chest. We broke into a fight and in the end, we both were breathless and I was straddling him.
