Aku tidak pernah membayangkan berada dalam keadaan seperti ini. Menjadi orang lain di kehidupan sekarang. Namaku Ardan Rakha Wisesa, biasa dipanggil Ardan. Bukan, bukan Ardan. Mereka lebih sering memanggilku Cupu, Culun, Kutu Buku dan sejenisnya. Ya, aku adalah anak laki-laki dengan ciri-ciri jelek, dekil dengan kacamata yang tidak pernah lepas dari kedua mataku. Mataku minus sekaligus silinder dan sudah cukup parah, untuk berobat aku tak mampu. Bahkan bisa sekolah pun aku sudah bersyukur. Satu keunggulan yang aku miliki adalah pintar. Itu juga yang membuatku bisa sekolah di sekolah elite ini. Sekolah tempat orang-orang kaya yang selalu menyombongkan kekayaan orang tuanya. Sedangkan aku? Hanya dijadikan sebagai target bullying di sekolah itu. Hingga pada suatu hari, bullying yang mereka lakukan sudah melewati batas wajar. Hingga membuatku berada dalam kondisi sekarang. Merubahku menjadi orang lain dan menghilangkan semua identitas asliku. Aku yang sekarang, Guntur Hastanta Haidar atau yang biasa dipanggil Guntur. Menjadi anak seorang dokter spesialis bedah plastik terkenal di kota itu. Lalu di mana Guntur yang asli? Ini yang kemudian menjadi teka-teki yang juga harus aku selesaikan selain misi balas dendam. Apakah orang tuaku tidak mencariku? Aku tinggal bersama ayah dan kakakku, mereka tidak pernah menganggap aku ada. Mereka membenciku karena kelahiranku menyebabkan kematian ibuku. Semua ini akan aku selesaikan dengan tuntas tanpa ada satu pun yang terlewat.

So, against his better judgement, he accepts an offer he should absolutely refuse. Marybeth Tyson is horrified to learn that not only is her father wanted by loan sharks, but he has also sold her off to a mafia boss. Bound by duty and pushed by guilt, she agrees to give Austin Hawthorne one year of her life, despite common sense screaming at her to run the other way. After all, how hard can pretending to be madly in love with someone be? It’s all fun and games until play pretend becomes all too real, and an earth-shattering secret from Austin’s past comes to light, threatening to destroy his second chance at love with his dogged pursuit for answers. Betrayal, especially at the hands of his older brother Blake and long-time friend, Andrei Ivanov, is a bitter pill to swallow for Austin, and letting them off scot-free is not an option. Driven by his unquenchable thirst for revenge, Austin will stop at nothing to get to the truth, even if it means destroying decade-old friendships and fragile ties to The Corporation. 2022 Val Sims.
