Aldreda Katriel Josson just turned 21. At that time, it was her greatest blunder to believe that she would live a life where she would make her own decisions once she entered the adult stage of life. Being known as a playgirl during her teenage years, her parents have had enough of her numerous scandalous issues with men. Without her knowing, her parents arranged her to Kadmiel Candelon, a 24-year-old young business magnate who is one of the wealthiest bachelors in the country.

I'm the most important family he's got now." Bianca held her hand up to the vase as a cruel smirk twisted her lips. "You pale in comparison." **** Evelyn thought she was already living a blissful married life. Her husband, Adrian, was handsome and wealthy, and she was about to become a mother. But all of this was shattered by the arrival of her husband’s sister-in-law.

Setelah mengalami kecelakaan, aku sengaja berpura-pura amnesia untuk menggoda suami dan putraku. "Kalian siapa?" Mata putraku berbinar gembira saat menarik seorang wanita yang berdiri di luar kamar rumah sakit untuk masuk ke dalam. Dia berkata, "Tante, aku dan orang tuaku ke sini untuk menjengukmu." Suamiku berdiri diam di sampingnya, diam-diam menyetujui perkataan putraku.

Pada hari ulang tahun cucuku, aku ditabrak mobil saat dalam perjalanan mengambil hadiahnya. Karena tidak terlalu parah, aku hanya pergi ke rumah sakit untuk membalut lukaku, lalu buru-buru pualng. Setibanya di rumah, ternyata acara ulang tahun telah berakhir. Sementara itu, aku harus membereskan kekacauan yang ada. Tidak ada yang peduli pada lenganku yang diperban. Yang ada di pikiran mereka hanya apakah baju sudah dicuci, apakah makanan sudah disiapkan? Karena tidak enak badan, aku tidak membuatkan sarapan. Putraku dan menantuku pun mengataiku malas. Aku pergi ke rumah sahabatku untuk menenangkan diri. Mereka malah bilang aku bersikap tidak masuk akal, padahal sudah tua. Kemudian, suamiku ingin bercerai denganku demi seorang pengasuh .... Cerai saja! Siapa juga yang mau mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah yang tak ada habisnya itu! Lagi pula, mereka tidak menyukaiku!

"Why do I have to be so lucky?" The stranger smirked, moving closer to Eve. Eve bit her bottom lip, breathing hard as she heard his deep and unmistakably sexy voice for the first time. He was not doing anything to her yet, but the mere sound of his voice and his brown eyes slowly traveling down to her body made her burn with desire. Suddenly, she realized she should have done something during those years of being alone because, at this point, she was like a walking volcano at its highest alert level, ready to erupt. "I..." She forgot her name, even her purpose of being there. Maybe that was because she had forgotten herself and put others first, thinking it would mean a happy life. She was a single mother and hoarded problems like they were collections. Her problems grew faster than her children. When the stranger crushed her mouth with his soft lips, she kissed him back. Eve thought of becoming selfish, wishing him to fill that emptiness in her life, even for a while. She was already unhappy. What else could go wrong?

Sleep tight to be wifey... tomorrow you have a big day and very big night before you.... so enjoy your last beautiful night.  Enjoy...  with that he left her alone in the alone and moved outside and locked her room from outside once again. Ratika shouted like a maniac and cried miserably and asking continuously to open the door and let her go... but it seems like she was the only living being present in the whole building. Tired and broken she drifted into sleep. Wake up love... listening these words Ratika tried to open her eyes but suddenly she started trembling and shivering as the whole bucket of cold water was thrown on her. She woke up with a jerk and a shuddering cry left her mouth as she saw the monster standing in front of her.

Di tahun kelima pernikahanku dengan Anto, gadis yang ia simpan di hotel akhirnya terungkap ke publik, menjadi perbincangan semua orang. Untuk menghindari tuduhan sebagai "pelakor", Anto datang kepadaku dengan membawa surat cerai dan berkata, “Profesor Jihan dulu pernah membantuku. Sebelum beliau meninggal, dia memintaku untuk menjaga Vior. Sekarang kejadian seperti ini terungkap, aku tak bisa tinggal diam.” Selama bertahun-tahun, Vior selalu menjadi pilihan pertama Anto. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, saat mendengar kata-kata itu, aku hancur dan marah besar, bersikeras menolak bercerai. Hingga akhirnya aku menderita depresi berat, tetapi Anto, hanya karena Vior berkata, “Kakak nggak terlihat seperti orang sakit,” langsung menyimpulkan bahwa aku berpura-pura sakit, menganggap aku sengaja bermain drama. Dia pun merancang jebakan untuk menuduhku selingkuh, lalu langsung menggugat cerai. Saat itulah aku baru sadar bahwa aku selamanya tak akan bisa menandingi rasa terima kasihnya atas budi yang diterimanya. Dalam keputusasaan, aku memilih bunuh diri. Namun ketika aku membuka mata lagi, tanpa ragu, aku langsung menandatangani surat cerai itu. Tanpa ragu, aku menandatangani surat perjanjian cerai itu.

Ketika kembali ke hari saat aku dan kakakku harus memilih calon suami, aku tiba-tiba menyadari bahwa aku bisa mendengar suara hati orang lain. Aku mendengar kakakku berkata dalam hati, 'Kali ini, aku harus memilih suami yang bagus lebih dahulu!'

Dan pria yang di kehidupan lalu memukulinya setiap hari, pria kasar itu, dia tinggalkan untukku. Aku tersenyum. Dia benar-benar mengira pria yang dulu kunikahi itu adalah pria baik?
