Akala ni Jade Naive Guaren-Severa, sapat ang pagmamahal para manatiling buo ang isang relasyon. Akala niya, kaya nilang tuparin ang mga pangako nila—na mamahalin ang isa’t isa sa hirap at ginhawa, habang-buhay. Pero nasaan na ang lahat ng iyon ngayon? Once, she had everything she ever wanted. A loving husband, a happy life, a family they were supposed to build together. Pero ngayon, ang naiwan na lang sa kanya ay sakit, pagkaduda, at mga tanong na walang kasagutan. “Ako ba ang may pagkukulang? Hindi ba ako naging sapat? Mas mahal niya ba talaga ang babaeng ‘yon kaysa sa akin?” The woman who tore their world apart. The woman who pushed Jade down the stairs, causing her miscarriage, yet Azriel, blinded by anger and grief, chose her over Jade. The same woman who stole Azriel's heart and left Jade with nothing but broken promises. Nang muli siyang mabuntis, inisip ni Jade na baka may pag-asa pa. Baka sakaling maayos pa nila ang lahat. Pero imbes na yakapin ang panibagong simula, tinulak siya ni Azriel palayo. Sa halip na lumaban, binigyan siya ng divorce papers at tuluyang iniwan—kasabay ng lahat ng pangakong binitiwan noon. Lumipas ang ilang taon. Akala ni Jade, tuluyan na silang tapos. Hanggang sa muli silang pagtagpuin ng tadhana. Azriel is marrying his mistress, and Jade is hired to design their wedding gown. Ngayon, kailangang harapin ni Jade ang lahat ng nangyari. Handa na ba siyang magpatawad? O huli na ang lahat para bumalik sa dati?

Aku tidak pernah berpikir akan menjadi Cinderella setelah menikah dengan seorang Zaidan Arkana Malik. Lelaki yang suka bicara setengah-setengah dan kadang sulit dipahami, tapi royal pada istri sekaligus majikanku. Kelas sosial menjadikanku sadar di mana letak posisiku tidak lebih dari seorang pembantu yang dinikahi siri secara diam-diam. Meski hanya seorang pembantu, tapi bukan berarti martabat harus diinjak terus, kan? Aku juga punya hati, manusia biasa yang bisa lelah. Aku terima keputusannya menerima perjodohan Bu Mareta—mamanya—karena aku tahu diri tidak akan pernah diakui sebagai istri sah. Namun, saat tahu aku sedang hamil dan wanita itu juga tengah mengandung, apa masih bisa aku bertahan? Atau kuterima saja pengakuan gamblang Zein—adik dari Mas Zaid—yang bersedia mengakui anak dalam kandunganku ini?

**Evelyn Karamazov** I’ve spent all twenty-three years of my life immersed in the world of the mafia, groomed to rule with an iron fist. But power in our world doesn’t come without a price, and that price is marriage—a union built on strategy rather than so-called love. It’s the last thing I want, but in this life, sacrifices are the currency we trade in. And if I have to choose, I’ll sacrifice to the devil I know rather than the angel I don’t. But make no mistake, a sacrifice is still a sacrifice, and it demands its due. **Killian Bandini** Sixteen years—that’s how long I’ve waited to exact my revenge. Sixteen years to drown in nightmares, consumed by guilt and the unyielding desire to set things right. My father is dead, and now the Bandini empire is mine. The time has come to collect what is owed, and God help those who wronged me, because they will pay with blood. ★ What happens when the most lethal, most infuriating man to ever walk the earth crashes your wedding, puts a bullet in your would-be husband’s head, and holds everyone at gunpoint just to ensure you marry him instead? Killian Bandini doesn’t ask; he takes. But if he thinks I’m some meek bride to be bartered and controlled, he’s dead wrong. I may have to marry him, but I sure as hell won’t make it easy. He’s come for blood and power, but he doesn’t know that I’m not just a pawn—I’m a queen, and this game has only just begun.

Benda. Apa yang terbesit pertama kali di kepala kita saat mendengar kata benda? Bukankah benda hanya benda. Tetapi katanya benda mampu menyimpan kenangan. Katanya benda juga mampu merasakan dan mentransfer energi akan ingatan kepada orang lain. Pernahkah kalian merasakan kekosongan aneh saat berada di dekat suatu benda? Atau pernahkah kalian secara tidak sadar mendengar benda berbisik di telinga? Jika tidak kalian beruntung. Sebab aku terlahir bersahabat dengan benda. "Ia sering terpuruk sendirian. Tak ada yang peduli. Tak ada yang sadar. Kami menjadi saksi bisu rasa sakitnya." Lemari itu membisikkan kalimat penuh penderitaan padaku. Seolah-olah ia merasakan apa yang dirasakan pemilik kamar ini. "Ia tidak pernah bahagia sekalipun hidup di rumah ini. Kebahagiaannya hanya satu. Saat kamu datang dan merangkulnya pagi itu." Gagang pintu yang kusentuh tanpa diminta bercerita. Aku hanya laki-laki bisa. "Rio, jangan menyalahkan diri sendiri." Begitu ucap mereka. Hingga suatu harii aku terjebak di jalan berkelok yang seharusnya tak pernah ku lalui. Hari itu sabtu malam yang kelam dan aku berhasil menemukan jalan masuk. Festival yang tak pernah kulihat dimanapun. Pesta kembang api pertama dalam hidupku. Lalu kejanggalan apa ini? Tidak ada habis-habisnya. Hari terus berganti. Namun mereka tak pernah berhenti. Dalam hati aku bertekad aku harus keluar dari tempat ini. Akankah benda-benda ini mampu membantuku keluar dari kurungan tak berujung ini? Atau aku malah akan terus terperangkap? Sial. Kembang api pertama dalam hidupku malah mengakhiri segalanya. Hidup, keluarga bahkan cinta pertamaku.
