Kekasih masa kecilku berjanji akan menikahiku begitu kami cukup umur, tapi malah terang-terangan memberikan cincin kepada kakak tiriku, Jessica, di hari pernikahanku. Yohan-lah, pewaris mafia yang ditakuti semua orang, melangkah dengan lantang mengatakan bahwa akulah wanita yang telah dia cintai diam-diam selama bertahun-tahun. Selama lima tahun pernikahan kami, setiap keinginanku kecil yang tanpa sengaja aku ucapkan akan selalu dia wujudkan. Sampai aku benar-benar percaya bahwa akulah pusat dari seluruh dunianya. Sampai suatu hari, saat aku sedang merapikan rak buku, tanpa sengaja aku menjatuhkan sebuah berkas rahasia yang tersembunyi di bagian terdalam rak milik Yohan. Halaman pertama adalah data Jessica dan di atasnya, tertulis tulisan tangan Yohan dengan tinta merah tebal [Terpenting, lindungi Jessica.] Lalu di bawahnya, terdapat laporan misi yang sangat aku kenali. Misi yang sangat kutakuti. Malam itu, ada yang mencoba membunuhku. Begitu bantuan tiba, aku hampir mati kehabisan darah. Saat sadar di rumah sakit, aku baru tahu bahwa janin kecil di rahimku sudah tiada. Aku menangis sejadi-jadinya di pelukan Yohan, aku sangat hancur. Tapi aku tidak memberitahunya tentang kehilangan itu, aku tidak ingin membuatnya lebih khawatir lagi. Baru sekarang aku mengerti bahwa malam itu, Jessica juga mendapat percobaan pembunuhan. Perintah yang dikeluarkan Yohan adalah, "Selamatkan Jessica terlebih dulu." Air mataku menetes di atas kertas itu, membuat tulisan merahnya memudar. "Baiklah." Aku berbisik di tengah kesunyian, suaraku serak tapi tegas. "Kalau pernikahan kita hanyalah kebohongan yang kamu rancang dengan cermat, maka aku akan menghilang dari duniamu … untuk selamanya."

It was the day Jessica Goldenfold got the International Wealth Club Charity Award. My doctor pronounced me dead, for I could not afford the artificial heart needed for my survival. The show's host asked Jessica to call the one whom she had the most regret about. She called my number. I picked it up. She asked, "Do you ever regret leaving me for money?" I stared at the obscene bill for the artificial heart. Then, I chuckled. "You're a rich girl, Jessica. How about a loan of 30 grand?" She killed the call. I watched her telling everyone in front of the cameras, "No more regrets." She had no idea at all. She had no idea that I was the one who gave my heart to her when she had heart failure. I did it behind her back.

This time, after he stands me up, I find two plane tickets to Frantines in his office. "I was planning to surprise you for our anniversary.

I wait from the wee hours of dawn till the late hours of night, but Derrick fails to show up. Then, I see a post on Jessica's social media. "It's my birthday today. Though he doesn't have the time to go on a trip with me to Frantines, I forgive him because he brought me to the amusement park instead!" In the past, I'd have called him, crying and demanding answers. But this time, I'm truly done.
