Destiny's Mom

My mom decides to implement an income-based rationing system. Everything at home is delegated to everyone based on their income. At a holiday dinner, I decide to grab myself an extra helping of pasta. As soon as I fill up my plate, my mom snatches it from my hands. "Hold on. Just look at the spread on the table. The sea bass is already worth 180 dollars. The scallops are worth 200, whereas the lobster goes for 300 dollars. "You only earn 3,000 dollars per month. If you want a second serving, you must pay up first. I'll charge you based on the family rate. It'll be three dollars, thank you very much." My mom sticks out three fingers while smiling at me.

Elena Adiningrat adalah definisi dari keanggunan old money. Namun, dalam satu malam, dunianya yang berporos pada galeri seni dan pesta eksklusif runtuh ketika kerajaan bisnis ayahnya dinyatakan bangkrut. Dengan sisa martabat yang ia miliki, Elena memutuskan untuk terbang ke Paris menggunakan tiket First Class terakhirnya—sebuah pelarian mewah untuk meratapi hidupnya sebelum ia harus menghadapi kenyataan pahit. Di kursi 1A, ia bertemu dengan Aiden Valerick, CEO dari Valerick Group yang dikenal sebagai pria berhati baja dengan selera yang sangat mahal. Aiden membenci gangguan, terutama dari wanita yang tampak rapuh. Namun, selama belasan jam di atas awan, dalam ruang privat yang intim dan mewah, percakapan intelektual serta ketegangan yang tak terjelaskan mulai meruntuhkan dinding es di antara mereka. Bagi Aiden, Elena adalah teka-teki estetika yang sempurna. Bagi Elena, Aiden adalah predator bisnis yang akan melahap apa pun yang tersisa dari keluarganya. Takdir membawa mereka lebih jauh dari sekadar teman satu penerbangan. Sekembalinya mereka ke daratan, Aiden menawarkan sebuah kesepakatan: Elena harus menjadi kurator seni pribadinya untuk memulihkan citra perusahaan—sekaligus menjadi tunangan sandiwara untuk memadamkan pemberontakan di dewan direksi. Dari gemerlap lampu penthouse di Jakarta hingga lantai dansa di Monaco, Elena dan Aiden terjebak dalam permainan kekuasaan yang elegan. Di balik balutan gaun sutra pesanan khusus dan jam tangan bernilai miliaran, ada rahasia masa lalu dan pengkhianatan yang mengintai. Di dunia High Society yang kejam, mereka harus memilih: mempertahankan takhta masing-masing atau menyerah pada takdir yang telah mempertemukan mereka di kelas utama.

There's this thing that my mom keeps repeating to me. "I love my children equally. I will always treat you and Brielle the same." It's true that I get everything my sister, Brielle Montgomery, has since we were children. If Brielle has a new backpack, I do too. If Brielle goes for piano lessons, I'll be given the opportunity to attend the same lessons. When I go home for the holidays, my mom digs out two beautiful shopping bags sporting luxury brand logos. With a smile on her face, she hands them to us. "I specifically went to the store to buy you nice coats. Both of you get a coat each. I'll have you know that coats with wool linings are worth thousands of dollars. I don't even have the heart to wear one of these coats. I only bought these coats for you two." As I gaze at the expensive-looking coat, I feel warmth surging into my heart. But when I try on the coat, I feel a weird, scratchy sensation coming from my armpits. After flipping the coat inside out, I notice a few strands of long, dry hair tightly entangled among the seams. I even smell a faint trace of mold mixed with a strong hint of rot that can't be covered up by the cheap fragrance on the coat.
