‘He was going to reject me.’ My stomach twisted violently. Why had I thought this was a good idea? My palms grew clammy around the ring, my mind screaming at me to retreat, to salvage what little dignity I had left. ‘What kind of person pulls a stunt like this?!’ My own voice taunted me mercilessly. ‘This is it, Claire. Game over.’ But instead of the anticipated rejection, Giancarlo reached out—his hand brushing mine, sending a jolt up my arm as he plucked the ring from my fingers. The motion was fluid, deliberate, like he’d done it before—and then… “I do,” he said simply, his voice steady as he slid the ring onto his finger yh with mad confidence. ~~~ Claire Bennett’s perfect Valentine’s Day proposal ends in a disaster when she catches her boyfriend with another woman.

A fake engagement, a trip to the Maldives, and an undeniable connection soon turn her spur-of-the-moment decision into something she can’t control. Sparks of desire fly despite their stark differences, and attraction simmers just beneath the layers of deception. But will Claire’s impulsive decision mark the beginning of something real—or a recipe for heartbreak?

On our eighth anniversary, Claire Young announced that she had already registered her marriage with her childhood friend. She took him home, ordering me around as if it was only natural. "Move to another room. Stan loves sunshine." "Stan doesn't like sweets, so don't bake any when you're at home. He'd be upset if he saw it." I kept quiet through it all and bought a ticket to leave. My friend wanted to help me out of the predicament, but she didn't think it was a big deal. "He's just being dramatic again. Let him be—he'd be caving in just a few days." Everyone laughed at that, and quietly made bets as to when I'd come crawling back to Claire's feet. None of them knew I was already inducted into the national weapons program, and that I was really leaving.

Aku datang ke rumah mereka dengan niat yang tersembunyi. Dengan identitas yang kupalsukan, aku menjadi seorang pembantu, hanyalah bayang-bayang di antara kemewahan keluarga Hartanta. Mereka tidak pernah tahu siapa aku sebenarnya, dan itulah kekuatanku. Aku tak peduli dengan hinaan, tak peduli dengan tatapan merendahkan. Yang aku inginkan hanya satu: merebut kembali tahta yang seharusnya menjadi milikku. Devan, suami Talitha, melihatku dengan mata penuh hasrat, tak menyadari bahwa aku adalah ancaman bagi dunianya. Talitha, istri yang begitu anggun, justru menyimpan ketertarikan yang tak pernah kubayangkan. Dan Gavin, adik Devan yang kembali dari luar negeri, menyeretku lebih jauh ke dalam pusaran ini dengan cinta dan gairah yang akhirnya membuatku mengandung anaknya. Tapi semua ini bukan karena cinta, bukan karena nafsu. Ini tentang kekuasaan. Tentang balas dendam. Aku relakan tubuhku untuk mendapatkan kembali apa yang telah diambil dariku. Mereka mengira aku lemah, mengira aku hanya bagian dari permainan mereka, tapi mereka salah. Akulah yang mengendalikan permainan ini. Namun, semakin aku terjebak dalam tipu daya ini, satu pertanyaan terus menghantui: Setelah semua ini—setelah aku mencapai tahta—apakah aku masih memiliki diriku sendiri? Atau semuanya akan hancur bersama rahasia yang kubawa?
