'อยู่กับฉัน เป็นเจ้าหญิงของฉัน อย่าคิดหนีเด็ดขาด ถ้าฉันไม่อนุญาต...'

Dipaksa menikah demi menyelamatkan keluarganya dari lilitan hutang, Evelyn Wijaya (21) harus menjadi istri dari Samudra Bumiputera (27) — pria dingin yang duduk di kursi roda dan menolak dicintai. "Cari Sugar Daddy, Eve! Siapa tahu bisa menyelesaikan masalah yang kamu hadapi sekarang." Saran Ane Jesslyn saat mereka sedang minum bersama di sebuah klub. "Gila! Aku bukan pelacur, An." Histeris Evelyn dengan semburat wajah bercampur. "Aku punya kenalan. Mereka membutuhkan pekerja paruh waktu, gajinya gede Eve. Kalau kamu mau, aku bisa atur pertemuan kalian." "Benarkah? Berapa yang bisa aku dapat dalam satu bulan?" matanya bersinar, seperti mendapatkan angin segar. "10 juta untuk merawat putranya yang sakit. Dan 100 milyar, jika kamu bersedia menikah dengannya." Ane menatap tajam, ia memberi pilihan yang sulit. Evelyn membeku, ia menelan salivanya mentah-mentah. Bagi Samudra, Evelyn hanyalah “pengantin titipan” yang datang karena terpaksa, bukan karena cinta. Namun bagi Evelyn, pernikahan ini adalah awal dari ujian terbesar dalam hidupnya— menghadapi pria yang membenci dunia… dan juga dirinya sendiri. Saat rahasia masa lalu mulai terbongkar, Evelyn dihadapkan pada pilihan: bertahan dengan cinta yang perlahan tumbuh, atau pergi sebelum hatinya hancur ketika mendapati ada dua wajah yang sama di hadapannya.

After my father’s death, I decided to divorce my husband, Captain Marcus Hale, and stay in Pine Ridge Village forever. On the first day, I tricked Marcus into signing the divorce papers. On the fifth day, I handed in my resignation to my old unit at Fort Haven. On the seventh day, I cooked a full table of food and said farewell to all my friends. Frowning, Marcus accused me of making the very meal his childhood sweetheart, Julia Summers, hated. I stood up and raised my glass to toast her. From this day on, Marcus and I would have nothing more to do with each other. Half a month later, I saw Marcus returning from a mission in Pine Ridge Village. Only this time, the country evening breeze brought tears to his eyes.

My husband, Dominic Moore, insists on having his first love, Irene Cobb, at our wedding ceremony. Just when it's time for the bride to enter the hall, he suddenly asks for the ceremony to be paused for three minutes. Then, he gets off stage and pulls Irene, dressed in a white gown, out of the crowd. Right in front of all the guests, he takes her by the hand and walks her down the aisle, saying, "I promised Irene I'd walk her down the aisle someday." The tearful Irene throws herself into Dominic's arms before saying to my in-laws, "Mom, Dad. Although I won't get to be your daughter-in-law, I still want to address you as Mom and Dad just once." She turns back to Dominic and kisses him passionately. The guests exclaim in shock and whisper among themselves, eager to revel in my humiliation. However, I simply open the doors with a smile. I take off my veil and place it on Irene's head. "Why do you say you won't get to be their daughter-in-law? Since you like this cheating scumbag so much, I'll give him to you."

At the year-end company meeting, I was announcing the bonuses when a new employee suddenly raised her hand. "Over at the other company, they handed out two boxes of imported cherries at their annual party," she said, shaking her phone. "And we only get performance bonuses?" The video, maliciously edited, went viral online and hit the trending list the very next day. I had the finance department cancel all the year-end bonus transfers. "If cherries are what really count as a gesture of goodwill," I said, "then this year's year-end benefit will be cherries—fifty boxes per person." When they saw the mountain of cherries piling up before them, the employees who had once joined in mocking me panicked instantly. One by one, they cried and apologized, begging me to reconsider.

In my final year of high school, my parents died, leaving me nothing but a crumbling brick house. And yet, I somehow got myself a younger brother. He was a second-year student at our school, at the top of his grade. But no one respected him. Even when he was bullied, the teachers turned a blind eye. Why? Because even if others didn't beat him, his drunken father did it every day, while his cowardly mother never dared to fight back. I dragged him home with all my strength, patched up his wounds, and kept him with me for several days. Later, when his mother was beaten to death, I called the police and had his father arrested. "Hey," I told him, "from now on, live with me. I don't have any family left. Call me sister, and I'll put you through school." He dreamed of getting into a prestigious university. So I dropped out, set up a street stall, sold my own blood, and even took illegal jobs just to support him. When he graduated, he said he wanted to start a business. I gave him every cent of my savings. And then one day, I watched him stand beneath the dazzling lights, a radiant girl at his side, holding a trophy for a youth entrepreneurship award. I looked down at the cancer diagnosis in my hands. A bitter smile tugged at my lips. In the end, I had raised him into someone I could no longer reach. It was time for me to leave the stage.
