Apa hal pertama yang akan kamu lakukan jika terlahir kembali? Aku? Aku akan mulai dengan menceraikan suamiku, Finn Gunawan. Ya, Finn Gunawan. Lelaki yang menguasai setengah dunia mafia dari balik tirai. Sang Bos Mafia. Pria terkaya di dunia. Pria yang diimpikan semua wanita. Wajahnya terpampang di sampul majalah, dinobatkan sebagai "Pria Terseksi di Dunia" lima tahun berturut-turut. Di kehidupanku yang lalu, aku sudah mencoba segalanya agar dia melihatku sebagai seseorang yang berarti. Aku menikah dengannya. Aku melahirkan anaknya. Aku mengesampingkan semua harga diriku, berusaha menjadi istri yang sempurna. Namun, semua itu sia-sia. Baginya, aku tak berbeda dari seorang pelayan yang mungkin sering dia beri tip. Mudah dilupakan, bisa digantikan, dan nyaris tak terlihat. Jadi kali ini, aku tidak akan memohon dan aku tidak akan berpura-pura lagi. Aku menyerahkan posisiku di hidupnya kepada Madeline Bahar ... dan pergi. Madeline adalah cinta pertama Finn, juga bayangan yang menghantui setiap hari di kehidupanku yang lalu. Kini Madeline duduk di seberangku, menatapku dengan mata berkedip bingung, seolah tak percaya dengan apa yang baru saja dia dengar. "Kamu berusaha keras menyingkirkanku," katanya perlahan, matanya menyipit. "Sekarang kamu mau aku bersama Finn?" "Ya. Itu saja yang kuminta. Temui Finn, bicaralah dengannya. Katakan padanya untuk menandatangani surat cerai." Aku menatap wajahnya yang masih kebingungan dan melanjutkan, "Semua orang tahu aku adalah orang terakhir yang akan melepaskan Finn. Jadi kalau aku bilang mau bercerai, dia nggak akan percaya sedikit pun. Tapi kamu? Kamu orang yang bisa membuat itu terjadi. Benar nggak?" Madeline tertawa, karena akhirnya dia mendapat kesempatan yang selama ini diinginkannya. Aku pun tertawa, karena akhirnya aku bebas.

Di pesta pernikahan yang kurancang sendiri, tunanganku yang biasanya serius dan jarang tersenyum malah kabur bersama asistennya yang mengenakan gaun pengantin. Adiknya tiba-tiba naik ke mobil pengantin, menarikku yang masih panik ke kantor catatan sipil, lalu bilang mau menikah denganku. Dekorasi tiba-tiba ambruk, memperlihatkan tamu-tamu undangan yang menertawakanku. Dua sahabat masa kecilku yang dulu bersumpah akan menjagaku seumur hidup, malah merobek surat nikah palsu demi membuat si asisten tersenyum dan melemparkan sobekannya ke wajahku. Mereka bertiga bersulang di atas panggung, seolah dunia milik sendiri. “Konsep pernikahanmu terlalu kuno, dijadikan pesta lajang untuk Yovita itu justru keberuntunganmu!” “Pernikahan resminya diadakan di hari minggu! Bagaimana? Ide Yovita mengejutkan sekali, ‘kan?” Kedua orang itu begitu yakin aku tak akan meninggalkan mereka. Namun, aku hanya dengan tenang mengambil ponselku. “Jadwal nikahku dengan putra mahkota Keluarga Lessy ditetapkan di hari minggu ini saja.”

My boyfriend, Leon Kramer, goes on a ten-day trip. When he comes back, he suddenly makes a casual remark as we lay in bed after an intimate session in bed. He says, "I've never noticed how fair you are." After he falls asleep, I take a look at the photo gallery on his phone. There are hundreds of photos featuring him and the woman he's been with over the last ten days. She has tanned skin and isn't as fair as I am. I put his phone back without a word. Actually, my new target isn't as fair as Leon is. I keep quiet about it, afraid of exposing myself.

It was my third year with Timothy Jones when he had fallen for someone else and wanted to end things. At his birthday party, he embraced a petite and cute woman, telling his friends, "It's better to go for the sweet, innocent ones." Someone asked, "What about Olivia?" "Olivia? We've been fooling around for three years. Sure, she's fun, but sometimes you need a change of pace, right?" The "Olivia" he casually dismissed was me. And his new girlfriend? None other than my dad's illegitimate daughter, Willow Lambert. It was fine. I decided it was time for me to change things up, too.

Sienna Lewis had been with Sea City’s cold and distant CEO, Zayden Scott, for four years, but he still refused to let his guard down. So, she called her mother. “Mom, you can go ahead and arrange that pilot interview for me now.” On the other end, Helen Bennett sounded shocked. “Really? Didn’t you want to stay in Sea City and get married? You even gave up your dream of becoming a pilot.” Sienna looked at Zayden under the dim lights. He was madly obsessed with that girl and terrified of losing her. She smiled self-deprecatingly. Once she returned to Helmswick, her career would pick up again. From then on, nothing would hold her back. She would be Sienna Lewis, the pilot, again, not some pathetic woman—trapped in a forbidden love affair.

Carl Larson's intern is about to die, and her only wish is for him to sleep with her once. I disagree, and he says I'm petty. "It's just a one-time thing. She's about to die! Why do you have to assume I'm up to something dirty?" Is that so? I've seen them together more than once, though. I later agree, and he's relieved… until he sees me lying on his operation table for an abortion. He widens his eyes in disbelief. "What are you doing here?" I smile. I want him to murder his child. I want him to regret this for life.

During the holidays, I've worked my ass off just to whip up a feast filled with my wife, Willow Steele's favorite dishes. But soon, my mother-in-law pulls out a paternity test report and announces with a smile that the birth father of my daughter, Naomi Johnson, is actually Willow's childhood sweetheart, Luther Lloyd. Everyone bursts into laughter before saying teasingly that "no wonder Naomi looks so much like Luther". Willow's father even pats Luther on the shoulder while looking at him as though the latter were a part of the family. What stings my heart the most is that Willow is laughing so hard that she can barely stand up straight. So, that leaves her clinging to Luther while she taps Naomi on the forehead with a finger. "Go on, call Mr. Lloyd 'daddy.' He's your real dad, after all." Naomi, who has always kept me at an arm's length, rushes into Luther's arms without hesitation and starts calling him "daddy" sweetly. I fall silent for a moment as I watch everything unfold. Then, I draw to my feet and look at Willow. "Let's get a divorce." But Willow just chuckles icily in return. "Must you go that far? My mom was just joking around." When I'm about to leave, Willow turns to tell the others, "He's just being ridiculous. Once I give him the cold shoulder for a few days, he'll still beg me to return to his side pathetically." But what Willow doesn't know is that I've chosen to endure everything she's hurled at me out of love in the past. Now, I want nothing more than to leave her permanently.

Sa galit ni Althea sa lalaking nakabuntis sa pinsan niya, sinugod niya ito. Ngunit sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, ang bilyonaryong si Samuel ang napagkamalan at nasugod niya noong araw na iyon, na siya namang ipinagdiriwang ang wedding engagement kasama ang fiancée at pamilya nito. Hindi niya alam na ito pala ang boss niya, at bilang kabayaran sa ginawa niyang pagsira sa wedding engagement nito, kailangan niyang tulungan itong muling ayusin ang nasirang wedding engagement nila ng dating fiancée.

Zackary and I had been married for seven years and finally had our first child. But seeing the pregnancy result, he suspected that the child was not his. Out of anger, I went to do a paternity test with him. On the day the result came out, Zackary, who was supposed to be in the hospital, appeared at my door. He was holding a photo. The photo showed that my underwear was at his friend's house. He kicked me so hard that I lost my baby. He shouted, "You bitch, you dare to cheat on me. I won't raise another man's child, you know. Go to hell!" Later he knew the truth and begged my dead child to come back.

My mother-in-law brings a woman from the countryside. She looks like she's up to no good when she asks my husband and I to care for the woman. My husband is a mama's boy through and through. His gaze darts around, and he doesn't object to his mother's words. Is it a trend nowadays for people to serve mistresses on a silver platter? It looks like I'll have to do my best in "caring" for them, then…
