Media Manipulation

Five years ago, Ava Sinclair was forced into a contract marriage with Damian Cross, a ruthless billionaire CEO, to save her family from financial ruin. Their marriage was cold and transactional, but one night, emotions got the best of them, leading to a passionate encounter. The next morning, Ava overheard Damian saying he would never love her—only tolerate her as his wife. Heartbroken, she left him, pregnant and in hiding. Now, five years later, Ava is back in the city as an accomplished and a successful executive in one of Damian’s rival firms. A scandal forces her company into a fake engagement with Damian, a strategic move to keep the media at bay.

But when he starts chasing her back, desperate to understand why she despises him, Ava is caught in a web of revenge and longing.

Suamiku mengunggah fotoku di media sosialnya, sehingga aku dianggap sebagai pelakor oleh selingkuhannya. Selingkuhannya membawa semua kerabat dan teman-temannya untuk melabrakku. "Wanita murahan nggak tahu malu. Berani-beraninya kamu goda suamiku!" "Kupukul kamu sampai mati, dasar pelakor!" Sekumpulan orang itu menghujaniku dengan pukulan, merusak mobilku, dan merobek pakaianku. Aku dipukul hingga babak belur, gegar otak, dan mengalami patah tulang. Pada akhirnya, aku melapor polisi dan mengajukan tuntutan pada mereka semua. Pada saat bersamaan, aku menyuruh sekretarisku untuk mempersiapkan surat cerai kepada suami berengsekku itu. "Kalau bukan berkat aku, kamu masih jadi pengemis di jalanan sekarang. Berani-beraninya kamu berselingkuh dan diam-diam punya anak di belakangku? Pergi sana, jangan harap bisa dapat sepeser pun uangku!"

Pada hari peringatan tujuh tahun pernikahan kami, sebuah berita mendadak menjadi trending topic di media sosial. [Sebuah bintang, penemuan terbaru di bidang astronomi negara kita, resmi diberi nama ‘Bintang Laras Yunita’ pagi ini.] Tak lama kemudian, unggahan lanjutan muncul, dan pemilik akun itu adalah suamiku, Indra Rahmanda. [Aku gelarkan satu bintang ini dengan namamu. Meski berada di jagat raya, kamu takkan pernah sendirian.] Di kolom komentar, adik tingkat suamiku meninggalkan jejak yang mencolok. [Romantisme yang seharusnya bersifat pribadi justru kamu umumkan ke dunia. Terima kasih, Kak Indra. Aku sangat bahagia.] Aku sudah tidak lagi seperti dulu—menghubunginya bertubi-tubi, menuntut penjelasan, dan memaksanya memberi jawaban. Setelah tujuh tahun terjerat dalam pertengkaran di hubungan ini, aku benar-benar lelah.

Menikah selama 4 tahun, Juan yang selama ini tidak pernah update statusnya tiba-tiba upload sesuatu: “Benaran kucing kecil yang rakus” Fotonya adalah seorang perempuan yang memakai bando telinga kucing warna pink, yang pipinya merah dan menjulurkan lidah karena kepedasan makan hotpot. Orang itu adalah Dewi, host barunya. Nggak sampai 1 menit, teman kami ada yang komentar: “Bro, kamu lupa ganti akun!” Jadi, status terbarunya Juan sangat cepat sudah hilang, tetapi sangat cepat sudah muncul di halaman utama sosial media Dewi. Lalu Juan meneleponku. Kalau dulu, aku akan screenschoot terlebih dahulu dan duluan menelepon untuk menanyainya, setiap kali pasti harus berantam baru bisa selesai. Tapi kali ini, aku dengan penuh perhatian, ku tunggu sampai teleponnya mati pun nggak ku angkat.

During a typhoon alert, Joyce Lane calls me and tells me to pick her up from her company. On the way there, I receive a text from her. "You don't have to pick me up anymore. I'm going to stay over at Fin's place for a few days." I opt not to start anything with her. Instead, I calmly text back, "Okay." In the middle of the night, Finley Jones, Joyce's junior at work, uploads a social media post that's meant for my eyes only. Joyce can be seen huddling against Finley while feeding him some snacks in the photo. The window outside depicts a storm. The caption writes, "It's only befitting for me to tide out the worst weather with the woman I love the most." I leave a like on the photo calmly. Suddenly, Joyce calls me and demands what that like means. I reply coolly, "It means we're breaking up."
