I've gone on a business trip. It's 3:00 am when my best friend suddenly calls me. He asks me why I didn't tell him that I already have a baby, seeing as we haven't met for a year. That question takes me by surprise. Josephine Bennett and I have been married for many years, but we've been using contraception all this time. Since when do we have a baby together? My best friend then sends me a screenshot of Josephine's social media feed. The caption shows, "This marks our 100th day together, my darling baby! I love you so much!" My heart goes tense when I see the screenshot. Immediately, I call Josephine to ask her what's going on. Her reaction is very cool and collected, though. "That's a relative's baby. I found the baby super adorable, so I decided to share the post. I didn't think I'd end up sharing the caption too." I just smile when I hear Josephine's answer. Later on, I call my older brother, Leonard Sterling. "Cut the funding for Josephine's research project. Turns out she's been cheating on me."

When 22-year-old Aria, an art student struggling to keep her life afloat, signs a surrogacy contract for the powerful and notoriously private billionaire Luca De Rossi, she expects a simple transaction not a story that will change everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and herself. But what begins as an arrangement soon blurs into something deeper. Luca isn’t the cold man the headlines describe; behind his control and empire lies a heart scarred by loss and trust built on careful walls. And Aria…gentle, stubborn, disarmingly honest starts breaking those walls without meaning to. When a single photograph exposes their secret to the world, the contract becomes a scandal, and Aria becomes the headline: The Mistress, the Billionaire, and the Baby. With the media frenzy threatening everything Luca built and Aria’s pregnancy advancing under relentless pressure, both must decide whether to hide behind duty or fight for a love neither expected. As betrayals surface in the boardroom and Luca’s empire trembles under corporate fire, Aria finds herself caught between the life she left behind and the dangerous world she’s come to belong to. Every choice she makes echoes louder for her child, for her heart, and for the man who swore to protect both. Set against the breathtaking Italian Riviera, this is a story of forbidden love, fierce loyalty, and the courage to stand tall when the world wants you to fall. A romance that begins with a contract… and ends with a fight for forever.

Setelah mengumumkan pengunduran diri, banyak orang bersorak dan sangat setuju. Hanya pacarku yang terlibat gosip dengan seorang pria bernama Sherwin, seorang musisi jenius yang tidak setuju. Di depan banyak wartawan, pria itu berpura-pura peduli. “Semua ini salah paham. Kak Yonatan adalah musisi berbakat yang tak tergantikan di dunia musik. Aku berharap dia bisa kembali berkarya.” Aku mematikan ponsel dan mengabaikannya. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, karya dan laguku sama persis dengannya. Netizen menyebutku plagiat, bahkan mengutuk seluruh keluargaku. Aku tidak terima dan membuktikan proses pembuatan laguku, tapi tetap saja kalah dengan waktu rilis lagunya. Lagu barunya dirilis sepuluh menit lebih cepat dariku. Hanya karena sepuluh menit itu, netizen mengirimkan karangan bunga dan foto pemakamanku, bahkan ada yang datang ke rumahku untuk menyiram cat. Selama beberapa tahun, perundungan media yang terus-menerus membuatku mengalami depresi. Orang tuaku menghabiskan semua harta mereka untuk membersihkan namaku, tetapi akhirnya mereka dibakar hidup-hidup oleh penggemar fanatik. Pada hari Sherwin memenangkan Golden Melody Awards untuk ciptaan lagunya, aku melompat dari gedung tinggi. Tak kusangka, saat membuka mata lagi, aku terlahir kembali.

“Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.” ~ William Congreve Aretha Hawthorne has loved and dedicated her whole life to her husband out of pure love and loyalty and to her foster family out of gratitude for having taken her in at her lowest.

And even more surprising, she appears to have garnered the attention of neither one nor two but three of the most eligible billionaire bachelors of the United Kingdom, who appear to have become completely smitten by her. Let the game of vengeance begin…

Hace media hora, mi compañero destinado finalmente se me propuso; celebraríamos una gran ceremonia de emparejamiento en medio mes. El momento que había esperado durante diez años finalmente había llegado. Pero justo en este momento, sucedió. Mi Alfa estaba sosteniendo a otra mujer mientras sus dedos acariciaban su piel. Su voz era suave, casi de adoración al hablarle. —Me arrepiento de todo. Si me quieres de vuelta, romperé el vínculo de compañeros con ella. Él no tenía ni idea de que lo estaba observando desde fuera de la ventana; estaba tan absorto en esa mujer que ni siquiera percibió mi olor. Justo en ese momento, lo comprendí: nuestro vínculo de compañeros, nuestros diez años juntos, pasaron por mi mente. Envié un enlace mental a mi madre y le dije que iba a romper el vínculo de compañeros con Mike. Luego volvería a la manada Deep Blue para dirigirla por mi cuenta. Mike nunca sabría que nuestra ceremonia de emparejamiento sería el día que me vaya.

After I get off work from the hospital, I decide to exercise by taking my mountain bike out on a ride. However, that's when I find out that the seat of my mountain bike has been lowered. There's even a blue sticky note with a scribbled heart pasted on the bike handle. I call my wife, Sabrina Yellin. "Who took my bike on a ride?" After a few seconds of silence, Sabrina replies nonchalantly, "Kelly's boyfriend wanted to learn how to ride a mountain bike yesterday, so he practiced a few laps with your bike. What's wrong, though? Is the bike damaged in any way?" Kelly's boyfriend? But he had boasted about going on an overseas vacation for one whole month last week on his social media account. My gut feeling tells me that something's fishy about this whole thing. So, I just curl my lips into a smirk. "Nah. He can keep using it." After that, I push the mountain bike back to its original parking slot. Then, I find myself two needles so that I can insert them into the seat. Three days later, when I'm working the night shift at the hospital, a nurse rushes in hurriedly. "Dr. Hart, there's a male patient in the ER right now. He claims that his crotch was stabbed by needles when he was riding his bike earlier."
