Kahalagahan Ng Media

She didn't have a perfect life, abandoned by her mother and not knowing who her father was, but her life wasn't bad either. She lived with her aunt and her husband who were well-to-do and took care of her, but they never mentioned her parents. She grew up being loved by them, so she didn't need anybody else. So when she graduated from college and was given a ticket for a solo vacation trip in Mareco, it was one of the best gifts yet. She would go for the trip and return to start her internship in a big media company. That was her dream, and the vacation would be the beginning of a wonderful life after college. But it wasn't just that, it was when her life turned around, she met him. He was the best thing she'd ever experienced. No one likes a relationship built on lies and deceit, so did she. She was lost in love, but she had to pull herself out when she discovered all his secrets and when she realized she could be sharing a lover with her own sister, or she could be leaving the love of her life who was also a rich billionaire by heredity, she just wanted to run away from all the mess.

Tiga bulan sebelum menikah, pacarku memposting di instagram sebuah foto dirinya bersama adik angkatku. Foto itu menunjukkan surat pernikahan mereka dan potret kehamilan adik angkatku. Caption yang dituliskan, [Resmi menyambut kehidupan kecil kami.] Adik angkatku meninggalkan komentar dengan emoji malu-malu. Ibuku memberi tanda suka pada unggahan itu dan menambahkan komentar, [Aku akan menjaga anak itu setelah lahir. Kalian berdua tenang saja menikmati hidup berdua.] Aku tidak bisa menahan diri dan hanya meninggalkan tanda tanya sebagai komentar. Detik berikutnya, pacarku langsung memarahiku habis-habisan. [Dia hanya meminjam status pernikahan denganku selama satu tahun. Setelah anak lahir, aku akan kembali padamu.] [Jangan pelit begitu. Ibu juga sudah bilang, kamu baru boleh menikahiku setelah melahirkan anak laki-laki. Jadi, kita adakan pernikahan dulu, baru urus akta nikah nanti..] Aku hanya menjawab dengan datar, "Oh." Setelah itu, aku menghapus semua unggahan di media sosial yang berkaitan dengannya. Sebagai gantinya, aku memposting hal baru, [Butuh calon pengantin pria. Siapa yang mau menikah denganku?]

Aliyah Haven was only 17 when her struggling family made the difficult decision to give her away to Pedro Perez, a cold and calculating billionaire heir. This transaction was disguised as a marriage, but it was filled with underlying motives. In exchange for money and a better future, her family sacrificed her innocence. Pedro was in need of a male heir to secure his dying father's empire, something his barren wife could not provide. Aliyah became the perfect pawn in his plan. After giving birth to a son, Andre, she was cast aside — her baby taken, her life shattered. Left to rot while Pedro returned to his wife, she swore revenge. Ten years later, Aliyah returns as a new woman — refined, brilliant, and wealthy in her own right. She’s no longer the naive girl who was bought. She's here to burn the empire Pedro built — from his business to his heart. What Pedro doesn't know is that the woman he’s falling for is the same girl he once destroyed. And when the truth explodes, everything he built starts to crumble — from media scandals to corporate collapse, to a vicious divorce from his manipulative wife. But love, twisted and torn as it may be, isn't done with them yet.

Ten years ago, the Harrington family went through a home invasion. My mother, a maid, shielded Liam with her life. Holding my hands tight, Liam promised, "Andrea, don't worry. I'll protect you forever." I believed him. Our bond grew naturally, and we had a beautiful daughter together. Then, she was diagnosed with leukemia. In her last days, all she wanted was to spend one birthday with her dad. I called him, desperate to make it happen. "Millie doesn't have much time left. All she wants is one birthday with you. Can you come?" His voice on the other end went icy. "Really? This your latest stunt? Using your dead mom wasn't enough, now it's our daughter for pity? Disgusting." I tried to deny it, but he cut me off. "Don't mess with her head. Learn from Vivian—she's got a real heart." That night, our daughter passed away. Later, Vivian posted on social media: [Finally taking that couples' trip someone promised me!] I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I just texted Liam: [We're done.]

Setelah mendaki sampai ke puncak gunung, aku mengalami hipotermia. Kedua teman masa kecilku yang pernah bersumpah untuk melindungiku dengan nyawa mereka malah sama sekali tidak melirikku. Yang satu sibuk mengeluarkan semua pakaian untuk membungkus tubuh Lucia, yang satu lagi sibuk menggunakan tubuhnya untuk menghangatkan Lucia. Aku kedinginan sampai penyakit jantungku kambuh. Ketika aku memohon pada mereka untuk menolongku, mereka malah langsung murka. “Chloe Winata! Kenapa kamu masih saja cemburu di saat-saat seperti ini! Kalau dingin, ya lari beberapa putaran sana!” “Setelah pulang nanti, kami akan belikan kamu 100 jaket bulu. Tapi sekarang, kamu nggak boleh rebutan sama Lulu!” Untungnya, ketika tim penyelamat tiba, aku berhasil diselamatkan meskipun nyawaku sudah di ujung tanduk. Selama seminggu aku diopname di rumah sakit, mereka tidak datang menjengukku. Dari postingan sosial media, aku baru tahu bahwa mereka sibuk merayakan pesta ulang tahun Lucia. Persahabatan belasan tahun ini sama sekali tidak bisa dibandingkan dengan senyuman seorang putri sopir. Aku pun menelepon ayahku. “Ayah, aku bersedia nikah sama putra Keluarga Januar.”
