My name was Natalia Granger. My husband, Andrew Lane, was a CEO, but he didn't love me or our son, Carl Lane. In order to spend time with his first love, Jennifer Zink, and her child, Jordan, Andrew would give one piece of candy to Carl before leaving. He promised he would return once Carl collected 100 candy wrappers. … Yet, when Carl finally gathered 100 candy wrappers, Andrew dumped him by the side of a highway instead. It was all because of another child's birthday party. Panicking, I searched everywhere for Carl. By the time I found him, he had become mute due to the trauma. However, Andrew only commented flippantly, "Jenny and Jordan didn't mean it. Can't you two be more magnanimous?" Eventually, Carl no longer became sad when Andrew left, nor did he hold out hope for Andrew's return. Instead, he simply wanted to return the candy wrappers to Andrew while also leaving a note that read, "Daddy, I don't want you to come back anymore, but could you return my voice to me?"

Katelyn cannot let go of her past, which has caused her trauma and fear of men. She is unable to get into a normal relationship due to her mother's engraved words that she should not trust men since they are wolves in sheep's clothing. Her father abandoned them to marry another woman, causing their family to collapse and, especially, to believe her mother's words. Until she grows up and experiences a strange dream, in that dream, a man always visits her every night and helps her overcome her fears. A man she didn't know made her feel a peculiar thrill she'd never had as a woman. What if she somehow learns the man in her dream is actually someone she knows? What if she discovers his true intentions for her? Can she learn to accept it? Can she learn how to love that man? Or will she escape the beautiful dream it brings?

Hari ketika aku keguguran dan mengalami pendarahan hebat, suamiku justru memamerkan foto telapak kaki bayi yang baru lahir di media sosialnya. Teks yang dia tulis berbunyi, "Selamat datang malaikat kecil, Ayah akan selalu menjagamu." Dengan tangan bergetar, aku menelponnya. "Anak kita sudah nggak ada, kamu bisa datang ke rumah sakit nggak?" Dari seberang terdengar tangisan bayi. Suaranya terdengar malas. "Kalau sudah begitu, kamu jaga kesehatanmu baik-baik. Yessy baru saja melahirkan, dia butuh aku. Aku nggak bisa pergi." "Dan yang sudah mati jangan rebut kasih sayang dengan yang masih hidup, ngerti nggak?" Dia langsung menutup telepon. Aku hancur di ranjang rumah sakit, akhirnya menghapus air mata, lalu menekan nomor musuh bebuyutannya, Lukas. "Nikahi aku, seluruh Grup Largi aku bawa jadi mas kawin. Aku cuma mau kamu jatuhin Fandi, kamu mau nggak?"

I gave up everything to become a housewife—all for Tristan Fowler and our daughter. But ever since his first love got divorced, everything has changed. Tristan despises me, and my daughter orders me around like a maid. Crushed, I sign the divorce papers, give up everything, and leave for a faraway place. So why are they the ones now full of regret?

Ibunya Zahra selalu membandingkan Zahra dengan kakaknya yang bernama Laras. Kasih sayangnya kentara sekali dibedakan. Hal yang sama sekali tidak diketahui Zahra kenapa ibunya bersikap demikian, padahal lahir dari rahim yang sama. Untungnya ayahnya Zahra tak pernah membeda-bedakan kasih sayang untuk Zahra dan Laras. Bahkan sang Ayah begitu menyayangi Zahra. Sampai akhirnya di suatu waktu Zahra harus menerima kenyataan pahit yang sangat membuatnya sedih. Ayah yang selama ini selalu membela dan tulus menyayanginya ternyata bukanlah Ayah kandung Zahra. Bukan hanya dibenci oleh ibu kandungnya sendiri. Tetapi Zahra juga dibenci oleh keluarga Ayahnya, karena Zahra bukanlah anak kandungnya.

Aku harus melakukan sesuatu! Aku tidak mau mati untuk kedua kalinya! Gadis-gadis ini sangatlah berbahaya! "Se-sebenarnya aku sudah memiliki kekasih." Tolong kalian percaya kebohongan ini! "Aku merasa kau tengah berbohong saat ini." "Benar! Aku meragukan ucapanmu kau tahu?" "Apa... kau yakin?" Mereka semua menatapku dengan tatapan tak percaya. "Jika... kalian tak percaya akan aku mengenalkannya pada kalian..." Apa yang aku katakan? Siapa gadis yang akan aku kenalkan bodoh! Bagaimana kalau mereka ingin menemuinya! "Baiklah, aku tidak sabar untuk berkenalan dengannya."

Sebagai istri, tentu aku sakit hati melihat Kak Abisatya--suamiku--bersama wanita lain. Tapi, aku sadar diri. Karena akulah, dia harus kehilangan kesempatan untuk hidup bersama orang yang dicintai. Lantas, haruskah aku menyerah karena aku bukanlah mempelai yang diharapkannya?

Everyone knows I'm Brooke River's bootlicker—I've stuck by her side for the past ten years. Now, she's getting engaged to someone else, and everyone's waiting to see me make a fool of myself. The problem is… I already got married three years ago.

My husband, an anesthesiologist, deliberately increases the sedative dosage on an accident victim so he can get a new heart for his first love, Selena Quigley. After her operation, he cares for her and celebrates her rebirth. He only remembers to contact me after she's recovered. "It's been three months since we saw each other, honey. You shouldn't be mad anymore, right? Why don't you book a flight for tomorrow so you can come home? I'll pick you up at the airport." I won't be going home anymore, though. Not now, not forever. I've already died on his operating table.

After my mother shot down my pleas to cover my medical bills the 100th time, I clutched my bone cancer diagnosis papers and trudged to the crematorium. "Hi, I'd like to reserve a cremation slot ahead of time," I muttered to the clerk. Half an hour ticked by before my parents and adopted brother arrived in their car. My dad, a forensic pathologist, cracked me across the face. "You're pulling a fake-death stunt now, just to steal the spotlight from your brother?" My mom, a hospital director, snatched the papers from my hands and shredded them into confetti. "Faking records using my credentials and tying up hospital resources? You've crossed the line!" My brother cried, tugging at their sleeves. "It's all my fault. I'll skip the amusement park forever. I don't need a thing. Just quit riling up Mom and Dad." I spun around, my hand pressed against my throbbing chest, and begged the crematorium staff. "Please, when it's time, cremate me and scatter the ashes in the river. I've got no family left in this world."
