After a regrettable one-night stand with the school’s golden boy, Roman Knight, Reyna’s world turned upside down.

Years later, Reyna Styles is no longer the shy, broken girl, she’s the most sought-after fashion designer in the country, exuding confidence and power. When fate brings Roman back into her life, he acts friendly, but Reyna brushes him off, coolly pretending she doesn’t remember him at all. Now that she’s the one in control, the tables have truly turned. But has Reyna really closed her heart to the boy who once shattered her, or is there still a flicker of old feelings hiding beneath her icy exterior?

‘Why are the tastiest apples always forbidden?

I knew that after this, he would say cruel things to me with those same lips, but I couldn't resist him. I loved him but I hated myself for loving him. “Marcus, please.

We were lost in our forbidden desires once again, not realizing that the door was left unlocked. Why does my stepbrother keep seducing me? What if our parents discover our secret affair?

Ian Tost was the prince of the notorious underworld. Everyone in Harbor City knew he spoiled me rotten. He even went so far as to hire ninety-nine female bodyguards to keep me from harm. It did not prevent a kidnapping attempt on me. One of those bodyguards, Cece Yates, ended up with nothing more than a scratch. Ian immediately brought in the nation’s top medical specialists to treat her. To comfort her, he even took her to the Maldives for a vacation and gifted her an island. Not long after they returned from their trip, Beatrix Kazinsky, my mother, suddenly suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. Then, Michael Kazinsky, my younger brother, died in an accident during a competition. I burst into the morgue while in tears, only to overhear Ian comforting Cece. “All right now, it was my fault you got hurt last time. I’ve made Mira’s family pay for it. You’ve got too much grace to hold a grudge against her.” With my nails digging into my palms, I finally realized everything that had happened to my family was Ian’s doing. It was all just because his precious bodyguard got hurt because of me! I stumbled out of the hospital with my brother’s death certificate in a daze. On my phone, messages from that person kept coming. It added up to ninety-nine share transfer agreements, along with his promise. [As long as you want me, my arms will always be open for you.]

Steven Zimmer, the assistant of my wife, Lucy Quinn, has lost in a truth-or-dare session. Lucy doesn't hesitate to file for a divorce from me for the ninth time. In the courthouse, I hear the staff member asking Lucy curiously, "Your husband is like a well-trained dog now. You've already married and divorced him nine times! Aren't you worried that your husband might ditch you for real?" Lucy merely smirks at her. "Do you know that the more ruthless you are when you abandon your pets, the harder it'll be for them to live without you? In fact, they will just become more obedient and docile. As long as I curl a finger at him, he'll definitely sink down to his knees and beg me to remarry him." Everyone bursts into laughter after that. They bet that I'll plead pathetically to Lucy to remarry me for the tenth time in less than a day after I've obtained the divorce certificate. Lucy even declares that she'll stream the tenth wedding proposal on the Internet when it happens. But the next day, Lucy keeps waiting for me to show up at the city hall while clad in a wedding dress. All she gets is a text from me. "No more proposals. This is the end between us, Lucy."

Di tahun ketiga pernikahanku dengan Jovan, tiba-tiba adik angkatnya, Jenny, mengirimkan sebuah video kepadaku. Aku membukanya dan melihat Jovan mengikat adik angkatnya di kepala ranjang menggunakan dasi yang baru saja kuberikan padanya. Sementara adik angkatnya terbaring telanjang di bawahnya, tanpa henti memanggilnya sebagai suami. Setelah itu mereka berpelukan erat. Jenny melingkarkan lengannya di leher Jovan dan merengek, “Kakak, aku nggak suka cincin yang kamu berikan padaku itu. Ambil saja dan berikan pada Kakak Ipar, anggap saja itu hadiah ulang tahun dariku.” Keesokan harinya, aku duduk di restoran mewah. Menatap kursi kosong di seberangku dengan pikiran melayang. Tiba-tiba, wakilnya mendorong kue besar ke arahku. “Pak Jovan ada urusan mendadak, jadi dia meminta saya mengantarkan hadiah ulang tahun ini untuk Nyonya.” Kotak itu berisi cincin, persis seperti cincin yang tidak diinginkan adik angkatnya. Lalu, sebuah foto baru dikirimkan ke ponselku. Jovan sedang menemani adik angkatnya berobat di rumah sakit. Aku tidak menangis atau membuat keributan. Aku dengan tenang menandatangani perjanjian perceraian. Lalu meminta seseorang menyiapkan sebuah pesta pernikahan. “Nyonya, siapa nama pengantin pria dan pengantin wanita yang harus ditulis?” “Jovan Gunawan dan Jenny Gunawan.” Tujuh hari kemudian, aku akan membiarkan seluruh dunia melihat betapa liarnya Ketua Mafia yang selalu serius itu, bermain-main secara pribadi dengan adik angkatnya.

Saat seluruh keluarga merayakan ulang tahun adikku, aku dikunci di pabrik terbengkalai, dengan darah yang terus mengalir. Adikku menyewa empat preman, menyiksaku hingga nyaris mati. Dengan sisa tenaga, aku merangkak sedikit demi sedikit mengambil ponsel, lalu menelepon suamiku. "Laurent, aku terluka parah, cepatlah datang selamatkan aku ... di pabrik yang nggak jauh, nggak akan menyita banyak waktumu." Mendengar suaraku yang rendah hati dan lemah, suamiku mencibir, "Elena, menangis nggak mempan, sekarang mulai jual kasihan, ya?" "Kamu sampai tak segan melakukan apa pun demi merusak pesta ulang tahun adikmu. Cepat bawa hadiah dan pulang untuk minta maaf padanya. Kalau nggak, kali ini kamu nggak akan kuampuni!" Belum sempat aku berbicara, dari seberang telepon sudah terdengar suara adikku memanggilnya. Suamiku tidak tahu, pada detik telepon itu ditutup, aku sudah tidak membutuhkan pengampunannya lagi. Dia juga tidak tahu siapa mayat berbau busuk yang membuatnya, seorang ahli forensik senior, mengernyit dan menghindar. Itu adalah istrinya sendiri yang telah dia benci selama bertahun-tahun.
