Am Tag vor dem Abschlussball der Highschool lockte Ethan Luciano mich ins Bett. Er war grob und begehrte mich die ganze Nacht. Trotz der Schmerzen war mein Herz voller Süße. Denn ich hatte Ethan seit zehn Jahren heimlich geliebt – endlich hatte sich mein Traum erfüllt. Er sagte, er wolle mich nach dem Abschluss heiraten. Sobald er die Führung der Familie Luciano von seinem Vater übernehme, würde er mich zur mächtigsten Frau der Familie machen. Am nächsten Tag hielt Ethan mich umarmt in seinen Armen, als er meinem Adoptivbruder gestand, dass wir nun ein Paar seien. Schüchtern saß ich auf seinem Schoß und fühlte mich wie die glücklichste Frau der Welt. Doch plötzlich wechselten sie ins Italienische. Lucas, mein Adoptivbruder, neckte: „Ganz der Young Boss – bei seinem ersten Mal springt ihm gleich die Schönheitskönigin in die Arme.“ „Und wie schmeckt dir meine kleine Schwester?“ Ethan antwortete gleichgültig: „Außen rein und unschuldig, aber im Bett verdammt versaut.“ Ringsum brach Gelächter aus. „Soll ich sie also meine kleine Schwester oder meine zukünftige Schwägerin nennen?“ Doch Ethan runzelte die Stirn. „Welche Schwägerin? Ich will die Cheerleaderin erobern, aber hab Angst, sie findet mich schlecht im Bett. Also übe ich vorher kurz was an Cynthia.“ „Dass ich mit Cynthia geschlafen habe, erzählt das bitte nicht Sylvia. Ich will nicht, dass sie sauer wird.“ Was sie nicht wussten: Ich hatte längst heimlich Italienisch gelernt – nur um eines Tages mit Ethan mithalten zu können. Ich sagte kein Wort. Ich änderte einfach stillschweigend meine Universitätsbewerbung – von Caltech zum MIT.

Selama enam tahun, aku diam-diam menjalin hubungan dengan saudara tiriku, Draven, yang juga ahli waris keluarga mafia. Setiap malam, sentuhannya menjelajahi tubuhku, penuh hasrat yang mendesak. Tatapan yang dia berikan padaku di saat-saat intim itu membuatku percaya bahwa akulah satu-satunya perempuan yang mampu menyalakan gairah seperti itu di dalam dirinya. Sampai satu bulan lalu, ketika aku mengetahui bahwa aku hamil. Sehari sebelum Hari Valentine, aku masuk diam-diam ke ruang kerjanya, berniat memberinya kejutan. Dari celah pintu, aku mendengarnya berbicara dengan Rian, penasihat keluarga. "Kamu belum bosan dengan Alana, adik tirimu itu? Pertunanganmu sudah tinggal menunggu waktu. Jangan bilang kamu benar-benar jatuh cinta padanya." Senyum dingin terukir di wajahnya. "Jatuh cinta padanya? Dia hanya target yang terlalu mudah, datang sendiri ke dalam genggamanku. Terlalu sayang jika dilewatkan." "Ibunya telah membuat ibuku mati sebelum waktunya. Enam tahun ini adalah harga yang harus dia bayar. Dan dia pantas menerima semuanya." "Dan seperti yang sudah kukatakan, istriku kelak hanya Sabrina Santoso. Tidak akan ada yang lain." "Pernikahan itu akan mengamankan jalur penyelundupan pelabuhan Keluarga Santoso dan hanya itu yang penting." Jadi, cinta yang selama ini kupercaya hanyalah sandiwara balas dendam yang disusun dengan rapi. Setiap pelukan darinya hanyalah kebohongan yang terencana. Baiklah. Sudah saatnya aku dan anak kami yang belum lahir lenyap sepenuhnya dari hidupnya.
