Untuk menyelamatkan keluarganya dari kehancuran, Naura Callista Wijaya terpaksa menerima pernikahan kontrak dengan pria yang paling ia takuti—Arka Rajendra Mahardika, CEO kejam yang dijuluki monster di dunia bisnis. Satu tanda tangan di atas kertas… dan hidup Naura tidak lagi menjadi miliknya. Ia harus meninggalkan Dion, pria yang ia cintai, untuk menikahi monster—dan menjalani pernikahan tanpa cinta dengan seorang pria yang katanya tidak memiliki hati. Setidaknya… itu yang ia pikirkan. Karena setelah menikah, Naura mulai menyadari sesuatu yang mengganggu. Arka tidak pernah memperlakukannya seperti istri kontrak. Tatapannya terlalu posesif. Sentuhannya terlalu menuntut. “Selama kamu memakai namaku,” bisiknya dingin di telinga Naura, “kamu adalah milikku.” Masalahnya… pria yang Naura tinggalkan belum benar-benar menyerah. Dan monster seperti Arka tidak pernah berbagi apa yang menjadi miliknya. Ketika dua pria itu akhirnya berhadapan, Naura sadar bahwa pernikahan ini bukan sekadar kontrak— Ini adalah perang yang bisa menghancurkan semuanya.

When I was seven, my constant vomiting got so bad that my mother took me to court and accused me of being born dangerous. If the charge stuck, I would be stripped of my family ties and sent straight to prison. Everyone said my mother was overreacting. "He's just a kid. Kids get sick. As his mother, you should be more understanding." But the moment the evidence was shown, the room went dead quiet. My mother had drunk herself into a stomach bleed just to land a contract, and the second she got home, I threw up all over it. The deal was voided, and she lost her job on the spot. On my sister, Ophelia Sowle's, birthday, I threw up all over her cake right in front of all her classmates. After that, she was shunned by everyone at school. She spiraled into depression and even slashed her wrists. It didn't matter where I was, at the dinner table or under the covers. I could start vomiting at any moment. My mother and Ophelia had to clean me up more than 30 times a day. It wore them down to the breaking point. What infuriated them the most was that every time I finished throwing up, I would look at them and laugh, as if I was mocking them. The judge brought the gavel down and declared me guilty of being born bad. Ophelia's eyes turned red as she cried, saying she couldn't bear to lose me. I didn't cry or fight it. I accepted the verdict. But I requested that the judge watch my memories first. The judge looked stunned. "Memory extraction means drilling into your brain. The pain is unbearable. Are you sure?" I nodded without hesitation. But Ophelia suddenly panicked. "I don't agree!"

"You left without saying a word, Ciana. Hinanap kita, naghintay ako. Umasa akong babalikan mo 'ko dahil baka sakali na maisip mo ako," napatitig ako sa mga mata niyang kulay kayumanggi ngunit lumuluha. "Tapos ngayon babalik ka na para bang walang nangyari?" nakagat ko ang ibabang labi kasabay ng pagyuko sa kaniyang pangunguwestyon. "Sinisisi mo 'ko kasi hindi kita magawang kausapin ng maayos? Pansinin tulad nang dati?" napapikit ako ng matapos niyang sabihin iyon ay hinampas niya ang pader sa aking tabi. "You think I'm okay? Nasasaktan ako Ciana, kahit sorry man lang galing sa mismong bibig mo wala akong natanggap." Tinitigan ko siya ngunit ako mismo ang nasaktan nang umaagos na ang luha sa mga mata niya. "I'm sorry," mahinang sabi ko. "This is not the right time to do that, because I can't f-forgive you for l-leaving me." Malamig niyang sabi ngunit bakas ang hirap sa pananalita. "Mahal kita at nakalimutan kong may gusto ka nga pa lang iba," hindi ko siya makapaniwalang tinitigan dahil sa sinabi sa akin. "I'm leaving." Paalam ni Mateo tapos tumango at lumabas na ng kwarto.
