Halo: The Mona Lisa

Aleandro, dengan penampilannya yang karismatik, memasuki halaman. Sekali lagi, jantung Viya berdebar kencang. Dia terlihat lebih matang, dan aura percaya diri mengelilinginya. Nyonya Lisa tersenyum saat melihat Aleandro. “Aleandro, kamu datang! Kenalkan, ini Viya dan anaknya, Gio,” ujarnya, mencoba memperkenalkan mereka. Viya terdiam sejenak, berusaha menahan perasaannya, lalu berbalik.“Eh, halo, Aleandro,” ucapnya, suaranya hampir bergetar. Aleandro terkejut melihat Viya. “Viya? Kamu di sini?” tanyanya, nada suaranya penuh kejutan. Nyonya Lisa memperhatikan perubahan ekspresi di wajah putranya. “Apakah kalian sudah saling mengenal?” tanyanya dengan sedikit cemas, menciptakan ketegangan di udara. “Tidak, Bu. Kami… kami pernah mengenal, tapi sudah lama sekali,” jawab Aleandro, suaranya datar, meskipun di dalam hatinya bergejolak. Viya menatap Aleandro, hatinya berdebar. “Ya, Saka mengundang kami,” jawab Viya, berusaha menjaga nada suaranya tetap tenang. Gio yang bermain di dekat mereka tiba-tiba berlari menghampiri Aleandro. “Kamu tahu siapa aku? Aku Gio!” serunya, penuh percaya diri. Aleandro terkejut sejenak, kemudian menatap Gio dengan begitu serius. “Viya, dia anak mu? kenapa wajah nya sedikit mirip dengan ku” katanya, berusaha menjaga suasana tetap tenang.

No one ever sees Halo, and that’s just the way her family prefers it. Until Talon Ashwood walks into their home with a contract and a choice that was never meant to be hers. Talon needs a bride, quickly. His father had made it clear, no marriage, no inheriting the Ashwood empire. Choosing Scarlet should be simple, expected.

But as secrets unravel and ruthless tactics ensue, Halo realizes that this marriage harboured far more than just a business deal. It was the cost of being chosen by an Ashwood.

After my sister, Mona Ramsey, and I graduated from college, our family went bankrupt. Our father gave us two options: One was to marry into the Whites through an alliance. The other was to take over the company and clean up the mess. In my previous life, Mona wanted the rich socialite lifestyle and chose to marry into the Whites. She ended up being brutally tortured by her husband, leaving her disfigured and disabled. I, on the other hand, relied on my talent for business to bring the company back from the brink. For a while, I was riding high and had everything going for me. Mona grew insanely jealous of me. At the company's IPO launch event, she stormed into the venue carrying gasoline and set me on fire. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the moment when our father gave us the choice. This time, Mona rushed to stand in front of me. "Dad, let Laura marry into the Whites," she said. "She's been spoiled since she was little. She can't handle a hard life. I'll stay with you and face everything that's coming." I couldn't help laughing. Oh, my silly little sister! Staying would be far more miserable than marrying into the Whites.

“Her body was the price. His obsession was the cost." Mona is out of options. With her mother’s life hanging in the balance, she’ll do anything for the money—even if it means striking a deal with a venomous socialite who wants to destroy Ian Harrison,the most powerful—and dangerous—billionaire in the city. The plan is simple: Get close. Get caught. Get paid. Easy right? WRONG. One staged photo leads to a night of rough hands, whispered threats, and pleasure that borders on pain. The deeper Mona falls into his world of power, deceit, and seduction,the more she realizes—this game was never hers to win. Now, the only way out is to play by HIS rules. But Ian doesn’t play fair. Will Mona escape or will she surrender?

"Hmmm ... Mawar, tanganmu lembut sekali." "Tuan, Anda terlalu memuji," lirih pelayan cantik itu. "Aku tidak memuji, tetapi sentuhanmu memang nyaman sekali. Ah ... ya, di sana. Hmmm ... enak sekali."

Seorang pembantu cantik datang di keluarga Mona. Dan sejak kedatangan Mawar, si pembantu muda, gelagat suaminya mulai berubah. Mona curiga dan merasa tertantang untuk bersaing dengan pembantunya sendiri. Bisakah Mona mempertahankan rumah tangganya dan siapa sebenarnya Mawar?

Three years in a loveless marriage with Leo Cox, Mona thought she could win his heart with her unwavering devotion, but Leo showed no love or concern towards her. Eventually she got tired, filed for divorce and left after founding out Leo was cheating on her— but she was already pregnant for him. Leo assumed Mona was merely playing hard to get-after all, he bet she'd be back, begging for reconciliation. But no one saw it coming; after the divorce, Mona transformed into a confident woman and Leo is stunned by her transformation. Now, Leo is drowning in regret, desperately chasing after Mona-but by this time, it was already too late. He started contemplating every day, wondering if breaking a leg or going bankrupt would be enough to capture her attention.
