Helsa dan Aryo adalah sepasang suami-istri yang baru saja membina rumah tangga, tapi saat keduanya menikah terjadi perselisihan dan adanya kejanggalan yang membuat hubungan mereka rentan. Perkara kamar terlarang yang berada di pojok rumahnya menjadi awal mula Helsa bertanya-tanya pada suaminya. Aryo selalu menutup diri, tidak ingin membicarakan kehidupannya pada siapa pun, termasuk istrinya sendiri. Bahkan Helsa sebagai publik figur yang mengharuskan dirinya untuk terus memperlihatkan kehidupannya di sosial media, ditegaskan suaminya agar tidak menghidupkan kameranya saat berada di rumah. Kejanggalan yang membuat Helsa semakin stress karena dia seolah terkekang, terlebih lagi kamar terlarang itu saat terbuka sendiri dan menampakkan boneka serupa bayi yang membuatnya semakin bertanya-tanya. Aryo memang sempat menikah dengan perempuan bernama Maira, tapi dia sudah meninggal dunia. Kepergiannya sempat membuatnya tidak bersemangat. Meski begitu, pria tersebut harus berusaha bangkit dengan menikahi Helsa meski dalam keadaan terpaksa. Helsa tidak tahu apa yang sebenarnya terjadi, dan dia juga seperti orang bodoh karena tak mengetahui perasaan suaminya sendiri, yang ditahunya pria itu sangat mencintainya. Tanpa diketahui olehnya, Aryo hanya menginginkan dirinya untuk memenuhi harapannya sendiri. Apakah Aryo melakukan pesugihan? Atau ada hal lain yang membuatnya menutup diri untuk tidak membicarakan pada istrinya sendiri.

While I'm patching up the injured wolves in the pack, I overhear a few young Omegas muttering among themselves while sharing a photo to each other in a corner. Apparently, it's a post that has been uploaded by a social media account named "True Love Above All". "He told me that the she-wolf by his side only needs a title. As for me, I need his protection. This is the amulet he has obtained from a witch after visiting the forbidden grounds." In the photo, the amulet can be seen emitting a magical glow. I know that he's the only one in the entire pack who's capable of obtaining this amulet. I look down at my empty wrist. Today is the Christmas Eve. According to the pack's tradition, mates must exchange tokens of love with each other. When I return to the pack house at night, Alpha Ethan enters the house while smelling like another she-wolf. He pulls out a cheap-looking bangle—that still has half a price tag stuck onto it—from his pocket before tossing it onto the couch casually. "This bangle is for you, Maya. It's the most popular style this year." As I pick up the mass-produced bangle that can be found in any accessory store, I feel the coldness of my fingertips seeping into my heart. It turns out that Alpha Ethan thinks he can easily fool me with a random gift despite me being the Luna. Yet, the she-wolf—whose identity he refuses to give away—gets to enjoy the protection he has risked his life obtaining for her sake.

On the day my wife, Abigail Jefferson, and Dominic Gorman, the university student she has been sponsoring, post their pre-wedding photos on their social media feed, I don't lash out at them crazily as I usually do. Instead, I leave a like and a comment on their posts. "You two make a great couple. Everyone, let's give our blessings to the newlyweds." Everyone in elite society thinks of me as the most cowardly husband ever, who lets the side piece make a doormat out of him. One week later, Abigail comes home and explains, "This is just an act. Dominic's grandma is ill, and she wishes to see him get married before she passes away." I just nod calmly in return. "I didn't take it seriously. Of course, I believe you." In my previous life, I showed up at Abigail and Dominic's wedding to cause chaos for them. Naturally, their wedding couldn't go on because of me. Abigail began targeting my parents' company in order to punish me. My parents ended up going bankrupt and were forced to jump off a building. She had me admitted into a mental asylum, where I was tortured to insanity. Now that I'm given a second chance in life, I no longer yearn for Abigail's love. I just want her money this time. Every time she cheats on me, I'll transfer some of her assets to my name. Abigail now has three more chances before she ends up losing everything.

My name becomes the sensational topic on the trending list thanks to my company's employees, who have cyberbullied me relentlessly. It all started when an intern named Cecily Plinkton posted a complaint on her social media feed, claiming that the seafood thermidor, a new food item that had just gotten released in the company's cafeteria, was sold for 14 dollars, which was four dollars more expensive than before. "What a scum company! Are the higher-ups that crazy over money? They're just leeching from us white-collar peeps repeatedly!" The entire Internet doesn't hesitate to curse me out. They claim that I'm a cold-blooded capitalist who's greedy enough to charge her own employees for lunch. No one cares about the fact that I've been shelling out my own money in order to upgrade the cafeteria's food choices just so I could make the employees happier. Every day, they get to eat over hundreds of dishes to their fill for free. Every week, the expensive dishes, such as lobsters and crabs, are charged at the net price. Thanks to these free benefits, the administrative department has been suffering from almost a one-million-dollar loss every year. So, I announce that the food prices in the cafeteria will be changed to reflect the current market's prices. At the same time, I've fired the head chef and the kitchen staff and left the meal preparation to another company that produces instant meals. As soon as the announcement is made, the entire company goes into a frenzy. The employees all crowd outside my office while begging me to bring back the benefits with tears streaking down their cheeks.

Pada hari jadi pernikahan kami yang ketiga, aku menunggu selama lima jam di restoran berbintang Michelin favorit Dion Bahlilah. Namun, dia tidak bisa dihubungi lagi. Pada akhirnya, aku melihatnya di unggahan sosial media milik kekasih masa kecilnya, Arina Purbaya. Dion menemaninya ke Benua Anarsia, benua yang sangat dingin. [Aku bilang aku sedang bad mood, dia langsung membatalkan seluruh janjinya untuk menemaniku bersantai.] [Ternyata, teman masa kecil lebih menenangkan daripada penguin.] Gambar yang menyertainya menunjukkan pemandangan yang sangat dingin, tetapi Dion dengan lembut memeluknya. Matanya memancarkan semangat membara yang belum pernah kulihat sebelumnya. Tiba-tiba, aku merasa lelah. Aku menghentikan pertanyaan menyakitkan itu, menghentikan tangisan histerisku. Aku hanya dengan tenang menyukai unggahan tersebut dan mengirimkan pesan pada Dion. [Ayo bercerai.] Setelah beberapa lama kemudian, dia mengirim pesan suara. Nada suaranya menantang. “Oke, akan aku tanda tangani saat pulang.” “Lihat saja nanti siapa yang akan menangis dan memohon agar aku tidak pergi.” Orang yang menerima perlakuan khusus membuat mereka berani bertindak tanpa batasan, Dion pun sama sekali tidak mempercayainya. 'Tetapi Dion... Tidak ada seorang pun yang tidak bisa meninggalkan seseorang, hanya saja orang itu masih cinta. Tetapi mulai sekarang, aku tidak ingin mencintaimu lagi.'

Pada ulang tahun pernikahan kami, wanita yang disukai oleh suamiku menunjukkan foto USG di status media sosialnya. Dia juga menuliskan ucapan terima kasih untuk suamiku. "Laki-laki baik yang sudah menjagaku selama sepuluh tahun memberiku seorang anak. Terima kasih." Aku sempat melotot dan berkomentar, "Sudah tahu cuma selingkuhan, tapi masih berani begini?" Aku langsung menelepon suamiku dan memarahinya. "Jangan punya pikiran aneh-aneh! Aku cuma kasih tabung reaksi buat memenuhi keinginannya menjadi ibu tunggal." "Oh ya, Erika saja sudah hamil, kamu yang sudah melakukannya hingga tiga kali masih saja belum hamil. Dasar nggak berguna." Tiga hari yang lalu dia bilang padaku kalau dia harus pergi ke luar negeri untuk urusan bisnis, tidak menjawab telepon atau membalas pesanku. Aku pikir dia sibuk, tetapi tidak disangka dia malah menemani orang lain untuk melakukan pemeriksaan kehamilan. Setengah jam kemudian, Erika memamerkan hidangan mewah di atas meja makan. "Aku bosan sama makan makanan barat, jadi Regha memasak semua makanan kesukaanku." Aku melihat slip kehamilan yang ada di tanganku. Seketika, kegembiraan yang memenuhi hatiku langsung membeku menjadi es. Aku jatuh cinta kepadanya selama delapan tahun, berkomitmen dengannya selama enam tahun dalam ikatan pernikahan. Kali ini, aku akan melepaskan semuanya.

After receiving the report for an STD test, I went back to the barbeque restaurant, and there I ran into a young woman who was about three months pregnant. She asked me to let her cut in line, and, feeling sorry for her, I agreed to help her out. I quickly made arrangements for her and made sure she had a seat. But to my shock, after she finished her meal, she had a miscarriage. The girl posted about the incident online, and before I knew it, I was trending on social media, facing a wave of cyberbullying. The internet users went even further, digging up my health records and finding that everything came back positive. [She's positive for everything—she's clearly a woman with a messy private life!] [No wonder she caused the woman's miscarriage just by being near her—she's a biological hazard!] The cyberbullying got so bad that it pushed me into depression. Even my fiancé turned against me, accusing me of being filthy and breaking up with me. The emotional weight became too much, and in my pain, I drove straight into a reservoir. Meanwhile, the girl gained millions of followers online and skyrocketed to fame as a popular influencer. It was only after I died that I learned the shocking truth—this girl was my fiancé's first love. To boost her own popularity, she and my fiancé had come up with this entire scheme together. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day when she asked me to let her cut in line.

"Hi there, I'd like to emigrate." Christina stood at the counter and handed over the neatly prepared documents to the clerk on the other side of the glass. The clerk quickly stamped each page. The red ink spread like tiny ripples on still water. Then, without looking up, he pulled out another form and passed it back to her. "Ma'am, your paperwork will be processed in fifteen days." Christina nodded, turned on her heel, and headed for the exit. But before she could step outside, whispers trailed after her. "Did I see that right? Mrs. Waldorf is applying for emigration? Did she have a squabble with Mr. Waldorf?" "Even if they argued, would it go this far? Mr. Waldorf practically worships her. What could possibly make her leave so decisively?" "Exactly. Five years ago, their wedding was the event of the century. Even someone like me, who barely goes online, heard about it. And three years ago, after her car accident, the blood bank ran out of stock. Mr. Waldorf ignored everyone's objections and nearly drained himself to save her. Then, just last year, when she disappeared for an hour, he mobilized every media outlet worldwide to find her. Now she's leaving without a word—won't that drive him insane?" The murmurs swirled and lingered, but Christina only smiled faintly. Her expression was calm, but her eyes darkened with a bitterness that deepened with every step. Yes, she thought. Everyone knew just how much Lucien Waldorf loved her.
