Pretend to be his fiancée. Save her brother’s life. Don’t fall in love with a man who can’t see the truth. Celeste Harper is a master of voices, but her own life is a tragedy. Drowning in the suffocating medical bills for her comatose younger brother, she’s one missed payment away from losing the only family she has left. Until a cold-blooded offer from the city’s most powerful matriarch changes everything. The Task: Step into the designer heels of Vivian Lancaster—the socialite who abandoned her fiancé, Lucian Aldridge, the moment a brutal accident stole his sight. The Target: Lucian. A billionaire CEO turned into a recluse, a man whose bitterness is as sharp as the shards of glass that blinded him. He’s a wounded predator in a gilded cage, and he hates the woman who left him. The Problem: When Celeste speaks, Lucian doesn't just hear his fiancée—he hears the only reason he has left to live. Now, Celeste is trapped in a dangerous game of sensory deception. Every touch is a risk; every whisper is a lie. As she navigates the dark hallways of his estate and the growing, electric tension between them, the lines start to blur.

In a world where he can’t see her face, Celeste must decide: how long can she play the role of a ghost before she disappears entirely? Because when the bandages come off and Lucian finally sees the truth—it won’t just be his heart on the line. It will be her life.

"Kamu yakin ingin mengakhirinya seperti ini?" suara berat Nathan, sang kapten pilot, terdengar tenang, tapi matanya menyimpan pergolakan. Rachel menatapnya tanpa ragu. "Aku sudah cukup lelah, Nathan. Aku ingin kebebasan, bukan sekadar menjadi istri seorang kapten yang lebih mencintai langit dibanding rumahnya sendiri." Nathan menghela napas, menatap wanita yang pernah menjadi dunianya. "Jadi ini keputusan akhirnya?" Rachel tersenyum tipis, lalu meletakkan surat cerai di meja. "Kecuali kamu punya alasan kuat untuk menahanku." Nathan menggenggam dokumen itu, jemarinya sedikit gemetar. "Dan jika aku berkata aku masih mencintaimu?" Rachel tersenyum pahit. "Cinta saja tidak cukup, Kapten. Kamu sangat tau, apa yang aku inginkan." #fb : indriani_sonaris
