Mein Mafia-Ehemann Alessio schlief mit seiner Stiefschwester Sophia. Im Auto, im Arbeitszimmer, im Badezimmer, sogar auf dem Esstisch – überall hinterließen sie Spuren ihrer Affäre. „Sophia, keine Sorge. Sobald ich meine Stellung in der Familie gefestigt habe, werde ich dir alles geben.“ „Blair… sie ist nur ein Werkzeug, um meine Position zu sichern.“ In unseren acht Ehejahren hatte er die süßesten Worte der Welt in mein Ohr geflüstert. Jetzt war seine Hingabe nichts mehr wert. Ich weinte nicht und machte keine Szene. Stattdessen traf ich eine Abmachung auf dem Schwarzmarkt. In zwei Wochen würde Blair Greco für immer aus dieser Welt verschwinden.

Purnomo diberi waktu tiga bulan oleh sang Ibu untuk mencari istri agar adiknya bisa segera menikah. Karena aturan yang berlaku di keluarganya, anak pertama tidak boleh dilangkahi. "Kalau dalam waktu tiga bulan belum juga menemukan wanita pilihanmu, maka kamu harus siap menerima perjodohanmu dengan Shela." "Usia kamu sudah mau tiga puluh. Masa belum menikah juga.

Atau malah memilih menutup hati dan tidak memilih wanita mana pun untuk menjadi istrinya? Simak terus kisah Purnomo, Wulan, dan Langit dalam novel Dipaksa Nikah.
