Five years ago, Suri ruptured her uterus pushing Bruce out of the path of a car. The injury left her unable to have kids. But Bruce didn't care—he still pushed for the wedding. After they got married, he poured nearly everything into her. Or so she thought. Then came the scandal. One of his business rivals leaked it, and just like that, the truth exploded online—Bruce had another woman. She was already over three months pregnant. That night, he dropped to his knees. "Suri, please. I'll fix it. I won't let her keep the baby..." And Suri? She forgave him. But on their fifth anniversary, she rushed to the hotel Bruce had reserved—only to find something else entirely. In the next room, Bruce sat beaming, surrounded by friends and family, celebrating that mistress's birthday. The smile on his face—pure joy. A smile she'd never once seen from him. That was the moment she knew. It was over. Time to go.

No dia em que sofri um aborto espontâneo e uma hemorragia grave, meu marido postou no Instagram Stories a foto dos pezinhos de um recém-nascido. Legenda: "Bem-vindo, meu anjinho. O papai sempre vai te proteger." Com as mãos trêmulas, liguei para ele: — Perdi o bebê... Você pode vir ao hospital? Do outro lado da linha, o choro de um bebê se misturava à voz impaciente dele: — Nesse caso, cuide-se. A Isabela acabou de dar à luz e precisa de mim. Não posso sair. — E já que o seu morreu, não tente disputar atenção com quem está vivo, entendeu? Ele desligou abruptamente. Sozinha na cama do hospital, desabei em prantos. Depois de enxugar as lágrimas, disquei o número de Lucas Soares, o arquirrival dele. — Case comigo. Todo o Grupo Lima será seu. Só quero que você derrube o Felipe Moreira. Aceita?

Di layar besar aula pernikahan, foto prewed-ku menghilang. Yang muncul justru hasil pemeriksaan kehamilan milik asisten tunanganku. Pada bagian nama ayah, tertulis jelas nama pria yang seharusnya menjadi suamiku. Asisten itu tampak panik dan terisak sambil meminta maaf kepadaku. Sementara pria itu menjelaskan dengan wajah tenang, seolah tak terjadi apa-apa, “Dia hamil di luar nikah, hidupnya sangat menyedihkan. Jadi aku menemaninya saat periksa kehamilan dan menulis namaku. Ke depannya, aku akan tetap menjadi ayah asuh anak itu.” Tapi sebenarnya di hari yang sama, aku juga melakukan pemeriksaan kehamilan pertamaku. Para tamu mengira aku akan cemburu dan mengamuk. Namun aku hanya melepas kerudung pengantinku, lalu membuat janji pada dokter untuk menggugurkan kandunganku. “Wanita hamil tanpa suami memang menyedihkan,” ucapku datar. “Pernikahan ini memang seharusnya diberikan untuknya.” Aku lalu mengangkat gelas, tersenyum tipis, dan memberi selamat kepada mereka. “Selamat menempuh hidup baru. Menikah karena sudah terlanjur hamil.”
