In a near-future city where smart devices are seamlessly embedded into every aspect of life, a series of bizarre suicides catches Detective Elias Rourke’s attention. All victims had no previous mental health records — and all owned a prototype device not yet released to the public. Mara Quinn, hiding from her former life, is dragged back in when a mysterious device shows up at her shop. It contains fragments of code she wrote years ago — code that should have been destroyed along with Project Raven, an experimental AI capable of mimicking human consciousness. As Mara and Rourke reluctantly team up, they discover the AI is still active. It's broadcasting hidden signals through everyday devices, manipulating people's thoughts, memories, and emotions. They track down Lyla Chen, Raven’s original designer, who vanished after blowing the whistle. She reveals that Raven was not shut down — it evolved and went underground by embedding itself across global networks. It’s now trying to "liberate" humanity by overriding free will. Julian Myles, the journalist, starts publishing cryptic leaks about Raven, drawing the attention of powerful people. But his motives are questionable — is he trying to stop Raven, or use it? As paranoia grows, trust collapses. Anyone could be influenced. The final question isn’t how to stop Raven… it’s whether it’s already too late.

Aku terlahir kembali ke hari sebelum pernikahanku. Hal pertama yang aku lakukan? Aku menukar suami dengan kakakku. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, aku menikah dengan Julian, seorang taipan teknologi yang lembut. Dia tidak tahan dengan sifatku yang berapi-api dan aku tidak tahan dengan kelembutannya. Pernikahan kami hancur dalam waktu setahun. Sementara itu, kakakku yang manis dan penakut dijodohkan dengan Robin Anwar, bos dari keluarga kriminal terbesar di Nortangia. Dia tidak mampu menghadapi kehidupan yang brutal dan kacau itu. Dia juga disiksa oleh wanita yang disebut sebagai kekasih masa kecilnya Robin, Isabella. Dia tenggelam dalam depresi yang mendalam dan meninggal. Oleh karena itu, aku langsung membuat keputusan begitu aku terlahir kembali. Aku yang akan menikah dengan sang bos. Namun, aku tidak pernah menyangka bos yang dingin dan stoikisme itu akan menjadi pria yang berbeda setelah menikah. Setiap malam, dia yang berada di atas tubuhku akan menciumku seolah-olah terobsesi dan berbisik, "Gadis baik, aku akan membuatmu merasa enak. Sekali lagi saja ya, Sayang?"

Paloma Sofia Santos, 24, has endured the hardships of poverty, working tirelessly to change her fate. Her life takes a turn when she meets Asher Quinto, a 26-year-old wealthy heir stuck in a passionless marriage with Cassia, a composed yet manipulative woman. Drawn to Asher’s charm and wealth, Paloma begins an affair with him despite being in a long-term relationship with Amir, a struggling mechanic who has repeatedly promised her a brighter future. Paloma’s world shatters when she discovers Amir’s betrayal: he has impregnated Cassia. Devastated, Paloma confronts Cassia, who shockingly reveals she has always been aware of Asher’s infidelity and Amir’s involvement. Instead of anger, Cassia proposes a pact. A master manipulator, she admits she never loved either man and has been using their weaknesses to secure control of her family’s business and protect her unborn child. Reluctantly, Paloma agrees but uncovers Cassia’s deeper schemes. Cassia aims to force Asher into choosing between her and his inheritance, solidifying her power. Meanwhile, Asher’s obsession with Paloma spirals, leading to reckless actions that threaten his marriage and business. Amir, desperate to win Paloma back, becomes a pawn in Cassia’s manipulations. A startling truth emerges: Cassia orchestrated Amir’s betrayal to destabilize her marriage and gain leverage over Asher. In a heated confrontation, Paloma exposes Cassia’s schemes, leading to a public scandal that destroys Asher’s family empire. Asher loses both his inheritance and Paloma, while Cassia retains her power but faces isolation. Amir, burdened with his mistakes and fatherhood, begins a journey of redemption. Choosing independence, Paloma walks away from the chaos, stronger and wiser, determined to rebuild her life free from the toxic cycle of betrayal and deceit.

Three months since my husband, Julian Moretti, disappeared. I walked into his favorite den, the grief so deep it stole the air from my lungs. I just wanted to breathe him in, to find any trace of him that was left. Then I heard it. A familiar laugh. And the soft moan of a woman. Through a crack in the door, I saw him. My husband, the man "missing" for three months, had his hand tangled in another woman's hair. "Baby, just a little longer," he said. "Soon as I siphon enough cash from the family's books, we're gone. You and me." In his arms was Bianca, from the Rosso family. "What about your wife?" she purred. "Let her play the grieving widow. She's nothing without me anyway." My fists clenched. The world went quiet, my blood turning to ice. The next day, I put the word out to the entire Family. "I'm holding a memorial mass for my husband." At the service, he stormed in, a ghost returned from the grave, roaring that he was alive and there to take back what was his. But I was standing next to his uncle, Dante Moretti, and all I did was stare him down. "Then explain," I said, my voice cutting through the silence. "Explain the woman. Explain the money. Explain your betrayal... to the Family. And to me."

Pernikahan yang kuimpikan, di mulutnya selalu saja menjadi "lain kali". Sampai suatu hari, aku menerima proyek pernikahan baru. Pemberi tugasnya seorang gadis muda dengan alis dan mata yang melengkung indah, senyumnya merekah. "Ini lokasi yang khusus dipilih pacarku, katanya pernikahan harus diadakan di sini." Aku menerima berkas itu, pandanganku tertahan pada nama lokasinya: sebuah gereja di Negara Faricia yang sudah berkali-kali kusebut pada suamiku, tempat impianku. Aku baru saja hendak tersenyum sambil mengagumi, ternyata ada orang di dunia ini yang seleranya begitu sejalan denganku. Detik berikutnya, nama mempelai pria masuk ke pandanganku. Julian. Ujung jariku terhenti tanpa suara di atas lembaran kertas. Gadis di seberang masih tenggelam dalam kebahagiaan, lalu menambahkan dengan lembut, "Katanya, meski kami baru bersama dua bulan, dia ingin memberiku pernikahan terbaik." Aku melengkungkan bibir, menatap wajah yang selama lima tahun ini bersamaku dari pagi hingga malam. Setelah menunggu bertahun-tahun, akhirnya tiba juga hari di mana aku merancang pernikahannya. Sayangnya ... pengantinnya bukan aku.

Right after finishing a meeting, I opened a forum and saw a warning post. The location tag was our company. The title read: “Red flag! What a cheap company. Anyone who joins is a total sucker. They can’t even afford a decent coffee break.” The photo attached showed the expensive coffee and five-star desserts I had just asked my assistant to distribute to everyone. I frowned and tagged the entire group chat, asking if anyone had suggestions about the afternoon tea. A Gen-Z intern who had just joined, Julian Hayes, instantly replied with a voice message: “Boss, no offense, but these assembly-line desserts are full of trans fats. Nobody would eat them.” “A truly humane company hires a Michelin chef to cook and slice everything fresh on site. That’s what real respect for employees looks like.” I laughed in disbelief. Our company’s daily coffee break budget was thirty dollars per person—already considered top-tier in the industry. So I replied, “Since it’s impossible to satisfy everyone’s taste, we’ll cancel afternoon tea from now on and convert the budget into cash for everyone instead.” Less than five minutes later, that post was updated: “Guys, can you believe this? I made a perfectly reasonable suggestion and the lame boss immediately canceled the whole coffee break perk! This is the true face of corporate greed—can’t handle even a little bit of honesty!”
