One year ago, my life changed forever. I lost everything in one day, starting with catching my best friend and husband in his office, and they weren’t just talking. From that moment, everything fell apart. I believed I would never get over it. I believed it would break me, but I refuse to kneel in defeat. One year later, and I am back stronger than ever. I am back for revenge. I am not the weak woman I used to be. I have changed a lot in the last year. Now, I am going to make my ex-husband and ex-best friend regret what they did. What better way to do that than to go after my ex-husband’s enemy? His half-brother from another mother. The one he hates the most, the one he is jealous of. I plan on teaching my ex-husband a lesson he won’t forget. I am coming for him. I am coming for both, and they have no idea. Karma is a bitch, and it is coming right at them. What I didn’t expect was to end up getting a second chance of my own. Update Schedule starting from the 18th of August: Monday, Thursday and Saturday.

Harta, tahta, tanpa wanita. Begitulah garis hidup yang dijalani seorang Dewa August Lee saat ini.

Semua itu membuat Dewa menyerah pada takdir. Sudah enggan menempatkan hati kepada seorang gadis, sampai dirinya bertemu dengan Rindu Anahita. --- “Ngomong-ngomong, jadi anggota dewan itu enak, ya, Pak!” kata Rindu memasang senyum terbaiknya. Melangkah mundur untuk bersandar pada dinding lift. “Biar pun tidur pas rapat paripurna, gaji sama tunjangan tetap jalan terus.” “Kamu mau nyinggung saya?” Kedua alis Dewa itu mengerut seraya berbalik dan memangkas jaraknya dengan Rindu “Bapak tersinggung?” Rindu bertanya balik. Memasang wajah terkejut lalu menutup mulut dengan kedua tangan sejenak. “Bapak juga pernah tidur pas rapat?” “Enggaklah!” Dewa menjawab tegas tapi geregetan. “Baguslah!” Rindu dengan berani mengangkat dagu untuk mempertemukan maniknya dengan Dewa. “Mendingan juga tidur sama saya! Iya, kan, Pak!” ~~~ Spin off ~ Me and My Broken Pieces ~ Broken
