"Dikhianati kekasih dan sahabat. Terlilit utang. Balas dendam adalah satu-satunya pilihan." Saat Sheina mendapati kekasih dan sahabatnya berkhianat di hari perayaan cinta mereka, dunia seolah runtuh. Lebih parah lagi, Reno tak hanya menghancurkan hatinya—ia juga meninggalkan beban utang dan mengambil alih rumah peninggalan ibunya. Di ujung keterpurukan, muncul Rayden—pria dingin sekaligus paman Reno. Awalnya hanya alat balas dendam, kini justru menjadi satu-satunya jalan keluar. Tapi Rayden bukan pria yang bisa dimanipulasi semudah itu… dan Sheina tak tahu bahwa permainan dendam ini bisa berakhir dengan luka yang lebih dalam—atau cinta yang tak terduga.

Akash Zimraan punya segalanya—wajah tampan, kekayaan berlimpah, jabatan CEO, dan deretan wanita cantik yang rela mengantri hanya untuk sekadar dilirik. Tapi di tengah gemerlap dunia, hatinya terasa kosong. Ada suara masa lalu yang terus memanggilnya—lantunan merdu ayat suci yang dulu dibacakan sang ibu, sebelum ia pergi untuk selamanya. Di bulan Ramadhan yang suci, takdir mempertemukannya dengan Ahmed, seorang pengusaha dermawan yang memintanya membangun pesantren. Dari sanalah pertemuan itu terjadi—dengan Innara, gadis berhijab lembut yang suaranya mengaji mirip sang ibu. Untuk pertama kalinya, Akash jatuh cinta. Bukan pada rupa, tapi pada cahaya keimanan. Namun, jalan menuju perubahan tak pernah mudah. Akash harus menghadapi keluarga angkat yang menolak keputusannya, ujian keimanan yang berat, dan pria lain yang berusaha merebut hati Innara dengan cara licik. Saat semuanya nyaris hancur, hanya kesungguhan hati dan keikhlasan yang mampu menyatukan cinta dalam ridha Ilahi. Apakah cinta yang lahir dalam sujud dan air mata itu akan menemukan takdirnya? Sebuah kisah tentang hidayah, cinta, dan perjuangan menjadi hamba yang lebih baik.

Putra bungsuku yang berusia tujuh tahun digigit ular. Aku segera melarikannya ke rumah sakit tempat putra sulungku bekerja. Tak disangka, pacar anakku mengira aku adalah selingkuhan anakku.

Aku ditendang dan dipukuli. Dada dan kecantikanku dirusak. Dia mengancam, "Pelacur sepertimu baru bisa insaf kalau mulut bawahmu disegel langsung." Aku dibawa ke ruang gawat darurat dalam keadaan mengenaskan, dan dokter bedah yang menanganiku ternyata adalah putra sulungku. Tangannya gemetaran hebat memegangi pisau bedah dan wajahnya pucat pasi. "Bu, siapa yang menyiksamu seperti ini?"

Peggy Flannery, the new recruit who's being mentored by my husband, Eugene Shaw, insists on practicing how to carve words onto a patient's heart. It so happens that my mother-in-law has suffered from a sudden heart attack. So, I quickly take her to the hospital so that Eugene, who's also known as a genius surgeon, can save her life. Unbeknownst to me, Eugene is quick to entrust my mother-in-law to Peggy, who has barely joined the hospital for three days, so that she can practice her carving on her. Peggy is very careless with her strength. When she's in the middle of carving something onto my mother-in-law's heart, she accidentally punctures a heart valve, resulting in my mother-in-law's instant death. Once the death happens, Peggy wails to Eugene, "That hag is really frail and delicate! I'm not even done carving my name onto her heart! What should I do now?" Eugene wipes her tears away gently. There's heartbreak in his eyes as he says, "It's fine. No one will be able to bully you with me around." Once Eugene exits the operating theater, he declares that the surgery is a failure and that I should start preparing the funeral matters. Unable to accept reality, I grab him by the shoulders and keep questioning him. "Isn't this just a minimally invasive surgery? How did Mom die just like that? I want to see the surgical footage!" But Eugene responds by slapping me angrily. "Your mom is already old, to begin with! How dare you pin the blame on others when her frail and weak body is the main cause of her death! I haven't even begun to settle the score with you for giving Peggy such a huge fright! "Hurry up and sign the letter of forgiveness! If this incident does affect Peggy in any way, I'll file for a divorce right away!" Needless to say, I'm so furious that I can't even utter a single word after hearing Eugene's shameless words. Does he seriously think that my mother is the one who's dead? I merely chuckle icily in return. "Honestly speaking, you have more right to sign the letter of forgiveness than I do."

Depois de renascer, decidi que não iria mais me apegar obsessivamente a Wagner Rocha. No aniversário dele, ele colocou uma placa dizendo: [Cachorros e Juliana Campos não entram]. Dei meia-volta imediatamente e fui para São Cristóvão, ficando bem longe dele. Ele disse que sentia enjoo ao sentir meu cheiro em casa, então obedeci e me mudei sem questionar. Disse também que, após a formatura, não queria nem respirar o mesmo ar que eu na cidade, então parti rapidamente e nunca mais voltei. Por fim, afirmou que a minha presença poderia fazer Clarinda Prado entender as coisas de forma errada. Eu apenas assenti, e logo comecei a sair com outra pessoa. Fui repetidamente fazendo escolhas opostas às que fiz na minha vida passada. Tudo porque, na vida anterior, depois de finalmente me casar com Wagner, Clarinda se jogou de um penhasco e tirou a própria vida. Ele me chamou de assassina, me torturou, me maltratou e, no fim, me deixou morrer no fundo do mar. Desta vez, só quero viver bem. Depois, quando segurei a mão do meu novo namorado, Wagner ficou parado no meio do caminho, os olhos injetados de sangue. — Juliana Campos, se você vier comigo agora, eu perdoo a brincadeira que você fez.

My name is Mia, and I am the middle child of Don and Donna Costa. I am also the black sheep of the family. Or the ugly duckling, as my mother would call me. My shift ended a few hours ago, but it takes me long to get home as I do not have a car like my brother, Leonardo, the oldest, or my sister, Amara, the beautiful one and youngest in the family. As you may gather from my story so far, my parents do not care about me. I walk into the house with a sigh. I have seen the cars in front of our home, and I know my family has friends over. "You have nothing I want! You stole from us, and today I will kill your whole family," I hear an angry voice. I wonder what my father has done this time to piss someone off. "Godfather, give me another chance. You can have my beautiful daughter as your wife," My father begs. Holy shit! My father stole from the godfather? I know the godfather is about thirty, and his name is Riccardo Marina. The Marina family is the most powerful in the American mafia. "I do not like blond blue-eyed sluts. I prefer women with dark hair. Besides, Everyone in town knows Amara Costa! She has been around the block," Riccardo says with disgust. I do not know what to do. Shall I hide? Not many people know my parents have another daughter. I am never invited to their parties as my family is ashamed of me. I do not care for my family, and they can die for all I care. "I have another daughter with dark hair. Maybe you will fancy her," My father begs again. I sigh. Typical!

During the year that changed my life, my high school homeroom teacher called me to the corridor and asked if I was the heroine of the dirty scandal that shook the whole school. “I know you’re here on a scholarship because of your family’s underprivileged background, but you can’t just do anything for money!” As everyone threw me strange looks, she continued smugly, “Don’t deny it. The mole on the girl’s neck is just like yours!” I calmly wiped off the ink stain on my skin, revealing my unblemished neck. My teacher turned red in the face. Unfortunately for her, I had been reborn. This time, I was not going to fall into the same traps.
