‘Why are the tastiest apples always forbidden? Why do we have to sacrifice our love because our parents got engaged?’ These questions rushed through my mind as he kissed me deeply, pinning me against the wall. I knew that after this, he would say cruel things to me with those same lips, but I couldn't resist him. I loved him but I hated myself for loving him. “Marcus, please. We can't keep doing this.” I begged. But as usual, he ignored my pleas and continued in his caresses, making me want him more.

Ian Tost was the prince of the notorious underworld. Everyone in Harbor City knew he spoiled me rotten. He even went so far as to hire ninety-nine female bodyguards to keep me from harm. It did not prevent a kidnapping attempt on me. One of those bodyguards, Cece Yates, ended up with nothing more than a scratch. Ian immediately brought in the nation’s top medical specialists to treat her. To comfort her, he even took her to the Maldives for a vacation and gifted her an island. Not long after they returned from their trip, Beatrix Kazinsky, my mother, suddenly suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. Then, Michael Kazinsky, my younger brother, died in an accident during a competition. I burst into the morgue while in tears, only to overhear Ian comforting Cece. “All right now, it was my fault you got hurt last time. I’ve made Mira’s family pay for it. You’ve got too much grace to hold a grudge against her.” With my nails digging into my palms, I finally realized everything that had happened to my family was Ian’s doing. It was all just because his precious bodyguard got hurt because of me! I stumbled out of the hospital with my brother’s death certificate in a daze. On my phone, messages from that person kept coming. It added up to ninety-nine share transfer agreements, along with his promise. [As long as you want me, my arms will always be open for you.]

Setelah adikku pergi ke luar negeri, aku menggantikan dia menikah dengan Ketua Geng mafia. Selama lima tahun pernikahan, kami adalah dua orang yang paling saling membenci. Dia membenciku karena mengira akulah yang memaksa adik pergi, lalu memakai cara licik untuk menjadi istrinya. Aku membencinya karena sejak awal sampai akhir dia selalu menganggapku hanya sebagai pengganti, bahkan tidak pernah mengumumkan identitasku ke publik. Justru karena tidak diakui, orang tuaku yang gengsi menanggung segala hinaan, dan sejak itu mereka pun membenciku sampai ke tulang. Di akhir kehidupan sebelumnya, dia dan kedua orang tuaku demi merayakan Natal untuk adikku, melupakan diriku di pegunungan bersalju. Di tengah kedinginan yang membeku, aku dan anakku yang belum sempat dilahirkan meninggal bersama. Sementara itu, adikku menikmati seluruh limpahan kasih sayang, menjalani Natal paling bahagia dalam hidupnya. Saat membuka mata kembali, aku kembali ke hari pertama adikku pulang ke tanah air. Di kehidupan ini, aku tidak akan lagi memohon cinta dari Adriano maupun dari kedua orang tuaku.

Di tahun ketiga pernikahanku dengan Jovan, tiba-tiba adik angkatnya, Jenny, mengirimkan sebuah video kepadaku. Aku membukanya dan melihat Jovan mengikat adik angkatnya di kepala ranjang menggunakan dasi yang baru saja kuberikan padanya. Sementara adik angkatnya terbaring telanjang di bawahnya, tanpa henti memanggilnya sebagai suami. Setelah itu mereka berpelukan erat. Jenny melingkarkan lengannya di leher Jovan dan merengek, “Kakak, aku nggak suka cincin yang kamu berikan padaku itu. Ambil saja dan berikan pada Kakak Ipar, anggap saja itu hadiah ulang tahun dariku.” Keesokan harinya, aku duduk di restoran mewah. Menatap kursi kosong di seberangku dengan pikiran melayang. Tiba-tiba, wakilnya mendorong kue besar ke arahku. “Pak Jovan ada urusan mendadak, jadi dia meminta saya mengantarkan hadiah ulang tahun ini untuk Nyonya.” Kotak itu berisi cincin, persis seperti cincin yang tidak diinginkan adik angkatnya. Lalu, sebuah foto baru dikirimkan ke ponselku. Jovan sedang menemani adik angkatnya berobat di rumah sakit. Aku tidak menangis atau membuat keributan. Aku dengan tenang menandatangani perjanjian perceraian. Lalu meminta seseorang menyiapkan sebuah pesta pernikahan. “Nyonya, siapa nama pengantin pria dan pengantin wanita yang harus ditulis?” “Jovan Gunawan dan Jenny Gunawan.” Tujuh hari kemudian, aku akan membiarkan seluruh dunia melihat betapa liarnya Ketua Mafia yang selalu serius itu, bermain-main secara pribadi dengan adik angkatnya.
