"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."

I've been overlooked by the Lawson family a hundred times over. On birthdays, they only ever get a cake for my sister, Jocelyn Lawson. When I'm sick, I lie alone in a hospital bed while they fuss around her. I tell myself to tough it out and be a good daughter, but no amount of my endurance ever earns me a drop of their favor. On my wedding day, I think I'll finally get my moment to shine, at least for once. But I'm wrong. My parents, my brother, and even my fiance—Felix Wright, the head of a mafia empire—abandon me to attend Jocelyn's graduation ceremony. They leave me standing alone at the altar, enduring the guests' whispers and pitying glances. But Felix just throws me a cold line. "It's just a wedding. We'll make it up another day." It's not the first time. At our engagement party, Jocelyn whimpers about a stomachache, and he rushes her to the hospital without a flicker of hesitation. I'm left to smile through gritted teeth, making excuses to a room full of guests. That's the moment it hits me. To them, I'll always be the spare. So, I walk away. I pack my bags and carry a secret with me—the child growing inside me. This time, I'm done waiting for their scraps of affection. I'm starting a new chapter in my life, for me and my baby.
