Sinopsis "...kadang aku ragu, kamu kenangan atau cuma sekedar bayangan. Tapi apapun itu, 'kita' bukan lagi kenyataan sekarang." Itu adalah sepotong surat dari Gathan, pada selembar foto blur miliknya. Fanala sama sekali tak menyangka bila dulu ia dicintai sebegitu besarnya oleh lelaki yang beberapa tahun lebih muda darinya itu. Laki-laki yang membuatnya lupa akan pedihnya cinta pertama, laki-laki yang mengajarkannya jatuh cinta lagi, laki-laki yang konyolnya selalu meninggalkan earphone agar punya alasan untuk menemuinya, juga laki-laki yang hilang dan dinantinya begitu lama.

Hari ketiga setelah aku meninggal, tunanganku menerima telepon untuk mengidentifikasi jenazah. Dengan nada tidak sabar, dia berkata, "Kalau sudah mati, ya mati saja. Kuburkan dulu, baru kabari aku." Polisi tak berdaya, lalu menelepon orang kedua yang tercantum sebagai kontak darurat, yaitu teman masa kecilku. Dia tertawa dingin. "Benaran mati? Tapi soal mengurus mayat, bukan urusanku juga, 'kan? Langsung saja dibakar, terus abunya dibuang." Sampai akhirnya, foto jenazahku tersebar di internet. Dalam semalam, rambut tunanganku dan teman masa kecilku sama-sama memutih.

At twenty-eight, I held the dubious honor of being the last unmarried socialite on New York's Upper East Side. Everyone around me was growing increasingly anxious about my single status. In my previous life, my mother arranged a matchmaking cocktail party, where I was told to choose a husband from ten handpicked elite bachelors. I bribed the event planner to place Mark West's profile at the very top—and as I had hoped, I chose him. After we married, Mark treated me with what seemed like tender affection. He even bought me an oceanfront villa in the Hamptons, making me believe I had finally found true love. But that illusion shattered the day I was nine months pregnant, just hours away from giving birth. Mark drove a scalpel straight into my abdomen—then, right in front of me, hurled our newborn onto the floor. "If you hadn't forced me into this marriage with your family's power, Sofia wouldn't have been heartbroken enough to go drinking and get drugged and assaulted. This… this is what you owe her!" He tossed the scalpel aside, then calmly let his private doctor pin down my blood-soaked body. I fought through excruciating pain for six agonizing hours, until I finally bled to death. Afterward, Mark dumped my corpse into the Hudson River. But for Sofia, he hosted a grand funeral—funded with my money, under my name—and paraded himself to the world as a grieving, devoted widower. Given a second chance at life, I refused to step foot in that cursed matchmaking event. Instead, I went straight to my mother with a demand: marry me to Robert Black—the most ruthless, cold-blooded titan of Wall Street, whose scarred face was feared by all. In the end, stripped of my financial backing, Mark's hedge fund collapsed. He became a disgraced fraudster, spat on by everyone on Wall Street.

I was born a liar. That was the label my mother gave me. In the Dark Moon Pack, every pup carries a Lunar Mark on their wrist. Green means truth. Red means liar. My twin sister Maya slashed Mommy's ceremonial dress with a blade and blamed the pack hounds. Her wrist stayed soft and green. My mark went crimson when I said I was cold. "Mommy, I'm telling the truth. Please believe me." Elena would crouch down, look me in the eye, and say the same thing every time. "The Goddess's mark is absolute, Selena. Your own heart betrays you." She never touched me. She just looked at my wrist with disgust. No matter how honest I tried to be, my heart would race when I was scared. And every time my pulse spiked, the mark turned red. I lied when I said I was hungry. I lied when I said I loved her. I lied when I cried. After enough years, I stopped fighting back. I started to believe her. Maybe I really was broken. Maybe I was just born wrong. The night I died, I wrote one last line in my Penance Journal. "Mommy, help me. It hurts. Please — just believe me once." She never saw it. She had already locked the door and walked away. I'm sorry, Mommy. I died still trying to get it right. In my next life — will you hold me?

“Hope you are neat in there.” He croaked. I was speechless for some moment.

I'm begging you.” I pleaded. Tears were cascading from my eyes as Mark, one of the guys carried me up in a bridal style and laid me on the bed. The lights were turned off, not giving me an opportunity to see the man's face. This must be hell on earth. Mark left and the master came in, shutting the door behind him.
