"Bu Teresa, berkas pengunduran dirimu sudah disetujui oleh Pak Alex, tapi dia nggak sadar bahwa yang mengundurkan diri adalah kamu. Perlu aku ingatkan dia?" Mendengar kabar dari telepon itu, Teresa perlahan menundukkan pandangan, "Nggak perlu. Biarkan saja seperti ini." "Tapi kamu sudah empat tahun jadi sekretaris di sisi Pak Alex. Dia paling puas dengan kinerjamu dan juga paling nggak bisa lepas darimu. Soal pengunduran diri ini, apa kamu benar-benar nggak mau mempertimbangkannya lagi?" Bagian personalia membujuk dengan sabar, tetapi Teresa hanya tersenyum kecil.

Pacarku adalah pewaris di lingkatan elite ibu kota, kekayaannya bernilai ratusan triliun. Untuk mengujiku, dia tidak pernah membelikanku hadiah apa pun selama tujuh tahun bersama, bahkan tidak pernah mengeluarkan sepeser pun untukku. Sekadar mampir ke minimarket membeli alat kontrasepsi saja, dia tetap menghitung dan membaginya setengah-setengah denganku. Kemudian, ibuku sakit keras. Aku meminjam ke semua kerabat dan kenalan, tinggal kurang empat juta lagi agar biaya operasi bisa terpenuhi. Namun, tidak peduli bagaimana aku memohon, pacarku tetap tidak mau meminjamkan uang itu. Aku mengurus pemakaman ibuku sendirian. Saat pulang ke rumah dan membereskan barang-barang, aku tanpa sengaja menemukan daftar hadiah yang dia belikan untuk adik perempuan tetangganya. Vila pegunungan pribadi, tas-tas mewah, perhiasan bernilai ratusan juta rupiah. Di sana juga ada potongan percakapan dia dengan teman-temannya. "Kak Arka, katanya Svara sampai berlutut hanya untuk meminjam empat juta darimu, itu benar?" Arka terkekeh dingin, suaranya terdengar santai dan meremehkan, "Apa yang Dinda bilang memang benar. Demi empat juta saja dia sampai berlutut ke sana kemari, kalau bukan perempuan matre, lalu apa?" "Baru tujuh tahun bersama, tapi dia sudah nggak sabar ingin mengeruk uang dariku." Baru saat itu aku sadar, ujian tujuh tahun itu hanyalah akibat hasutan dari adik tetangganya. Tidak masalah. Karena sejak ibuku meninggal, aku sudah memutuskan untuk meninggalkan dia.

In her past life, Dylan Xander was forced to marry Zoe Stone. On their wedding day, his first love died in a plane crash. After the wedding, Dylan fell into a deep depression and grew to despise Zoe.

On the lifeboat, she desperately reached out to grab his hand but he pulled away with all his strength. As he sank into the dark depths of the sea, he smiled in relief. “I’m finally free.

The moment I was pushed into the river by my six stepbrothers and drowned there, I was still clutching a piece of candy my mom had given me. When I open my eyes again, I curl up in my swaddle as a one-month-old baby. That's when I notice six children glaring at me darkly with their hands outstretched, ready to strangle me. As I stare at them, I begin cursing them out mentally. "Just you wait till the day I can speak, you bastards!" My mom rushes out of the kitchen instantly. "It's a rare occasion for me to cook for the family, so I told you to keep an eye on your baby sister. Why are you cursing all of a sudden?" The brothers swap glances with each other in confusion. The oldest brother, Alex Finch, scratches his head. "You must be hearing things, Mom. We were about to play with Meadow. No one was speaking just now." Upon hearing Alex's shameless words, I continue cursing him out silently. "You're the most shameless bastard I've ever seen! When I'm three years old, you'll plot to sell me to an old single man in the countryside! Screw you!" Mom's hands tremble slightly at that moment. She quickly picks me up, her eyes as wide as saucers. I flash a toothless grin at her in return. "Don't be scared, Mom. This time, I'll definitely protect you!" Watch as I, a one-month-old baby, send my bastard of a father as well as the six ungrateful brats to prison!

After pursuing Yves Chapman for five years, he finally agrees to marry me. Two months before the wedding, I get into an accident. I call him thrice, but he rejects my call each time. It's only because Clarisse Tatcher advises him to give me the cold shoulder for a while to stop me from pestering him. When I crawl out of that valley, I'm covered in injuries. My right hand has a comminuted fracture. At that moment, I finally understand that certain things can't be forced. But after that, he starts to wait outside my door, his eyes red as he asks me to also give him five years.

My childhood sweetheart has aplastic anemia and desperately needs a bone marrow transplant. His brother agrees to help, but there's a catch. "I can save him, but you need to marry me." My lover ultimately dies because of medical negligence. I'm heartbroken but still marry Martin Steinfeld per my promise. During the wedding, he gets on one knee before me. His gaze is loving as he says, "I'll treat you well for life, Audrey Lynch. I'll be a thousand times better than Henry; I won't let you shed another tear." I look at his face, which is so much like Henry Steinfeld's. I believe him. Three years after our marriage, I'm five months along when I stumble upon Martin with his mistress. He wraps an arm around her and sighs. "She still can't forget about that dead guy despite us being married for so long. She's not like you, who only has eyes for me. "If not for her insisting on marrying Henry and ruining my future, I wouldn't have had to take my own brother down so much earlier than planned." My blood runs cold, and I tremble all over. Hatred consumes me, and I only have one thought—I have to destroy Martin!
