Je suis mariée depuis huit ans à un avocat, mais il a toujours refusé de révéler publiquement que j'étais sa femme. Pire encore, il a interdit à notre fille de l'appeler « Papa ». Il avait, à maintes reprises, sacrifié les moments précieux avec notre fille pour courir après son premier amour. Il avait même pardonné à cette femme d'avoir blessé notre enfant... Déçue et le cœur brisé, j'ai décidé de divorcer, de partir et de disparaître à jamais de sa vie avec ma fille. Mais lui, il s'accrochait désespérément à notre mariage, me traquant comme une bête enragée. Trop tard : cette fois, ni ma fille ni moi ne reviendrions en arrière.

When my family went bankrupt, I was drugged and sent to the bed of my childhood sweetheart, Craig Kennedy. From that night, he brought women home every evening, tossing a divorce agreement in my face. "Beg me, and I won't leave you." He stood above me, watching as I humbled myself to dust, pleading to preserve our marriage. He even ordered me to kneel in his office and massage the feet of his secretary, Lucia Langston. On the day the Moore Group needed ten million to survive, she blocked all my desperate calls for help. I waited 24 hours, watching my family's legacy collapse and my parents take their lives. Craig, with Lucia at his side, entered the house and threw the signed divorce agreement at me again. "You wanted money to save your family, didn't you? Beg me, and as long as I don't divorce you, no one will touch them." But I signed it with calm despair. "Don't bother. We no longer need your help."

"I don't want to go with you on this business trip," Lucy Landon said at the dinner table. Her voice was calm, so calm that no one could sense anything unusual. Steven Cooper's trip was set for June 1st. It wasn't their wedding anniversary, nor was it anyone's birthday. Just an ordinary Children's Day. Three days ago, she had stumbled upon a voice message on Steven's phone. A child's soft and childish voice had said, "Daddy, for Children's Day, I want to go to Maldove to see the fishes!"

My sister pushes her daughter at a murderer so she can win the prize in a photography competition. After this, she even uses the incident and my name to extort the victim to pay an astronomical sum as compensation. The victim stabs me to death in a fit of rage. When my son, who is brought up by me, learns the truth, he doesn't seek justice for me. Instead, he scatters my ashes in the sea and says, "My mother told me that I would've been the happiest child in the world if not for you taking the wrong child home back then." When I open my eyes again, I'm taken back to when my daughter was five years old. I have a month until her death. This time, I'm going to protect my child to the best of my abilities. I won't bother about an ingrate anymore.

Cinta pertama Jovin Liandra terdiagnosis mengidap penyakit HIV dalam pemeriksaannya di rumah sakit kami. Aku pun melanggar kode etik medis untuk memberi tahu masalah ini kepada Jovin. Jovin mengira aku sedang membohonginya. Dia bukan hanya memfitnahku mencelakai pasien hingga mati, bahkan membuatku dijatuhi hukuman. Kemudian, dia juga menaruh obat aborsi di dalam susuku. Gara-gara hal itu, kandunganku yang berusia delapan minggu mengalami pendarahan. Aku meminta pertolongan dari Jovin, tetapi dia malah menendangku. “Akhirnya nggak ada yang menghalangiku untuk bersama Selena.” Saat aku membuka mataku lagi, aku kembali ke hari di mana cinta pertamanya terdiagnosis penyakit HIV. Kali ini, aku tidak memberi tahu Jovin, bahkan mengajukan putus dengannya. Bagaimanapun juga, Jovin sangat mencintai cinta pertamanya. Aku mesti merestui mereka berdua.

Karena anak dari wanita yang dia cintai terkurung di dalam mobil hingga dehirasi dan pingsan, dengan penuh amarah, ayah langsung mengikatku dan mengurungku di dalam bagasi mobil. Dengan wajah penuh kebencian, dia menatapku dengan tajam dan berkata, "Aku nggak punya anak sekejam kamu. Renungkan baik-baik kesalahanmu di sini." Aku memohon ampun dan mengakui kesalahan, hanya berharap ayah bisa melepaskanku. Namun, yang kudapatkan hanyalah perintah dinginnya. "Kecuali dia mati, nggak ada seorang pun yang boleh membebaskannya." Mobil itu terparkir di garasi. Tak peduli seberapa keras aku berteriak meminta tolong, tak seorang pun bisa mendengarnya. Tujuh hari kemudian, barulah dia teringat bahwa dirinya masih punya seorang putri. Ayah pun memutuskan untuk membebaskanku. Namun, dia tak tahu bahwa diriku sudah meninggal di dalam bagasi itu dan tak akan pernah bisa sadarkan diri lagi.

For the sake of my happiness with my boyfriend, I decided to go to the hospital to treat my congenital narrowness. But the attending physician turned out to be my boyfriend's friend—and the treatment plan itself made my face flush and my heart race. "During the course of treatment, there will be a great deal of intimate physical contact. That's unavoidable," he said. "For example, kissing, touching, and…"

Aku berdiri dengan tangan masih memegang sebuah gunting yang sekarang sudah berlumur darah Rian. Yah, laki-laki itu sudah menerima akibat dari perbuatan tidak pantasnya padaku. Aku juga tidak menyangka sampai berbuat nekat, dan hampir saja menghilangkan nyawa sepupuku. Untung saja dia tidak sampai mati. Walaupun, sebenarnya aku ingin sekali mellihatnya terbujur kaku. Akibat kejadian hari itu Mama jatuh sakit. Sehingga wanita yang menjadi sumber semangatku itu juga pergi untuk menemui Papa di syurga. Mereka berdua telah meninggalkanku sendiri, menjalani hidup di dunia yang orang-orangnya sudah menganggapku gila. Namun, sebelum pergi Mama berwasiat agar aku menemui Paman Hasan di Jakarta. Beliau adalah satu-satunya keluarga yang kupunya. Di perjalanan menuju Jakarta aku bertemu dengan Haziq, aki-laki aneh yang selalu membawa untaian tasbih di tangannya. Dia mengatakan akan menikah denganku. Hahaha …lucu sekali. Tapi, apakah dia serius?

I deliberately remain calm upon discovering your affair. Not because I am weak, but because I am preparing numerous strategies to make you regret daring to betray me.

When my husband, Louis Banks, was caught in a traffic accident, I was at an interview out of town. By the time I got to the hospital, he had already been declared dead, and was sent to the crematorium. Hearing the news, I fainted on the spot. When I woke up again, I was greeted by the court coming to enforce the auction of all our assets. The reason was that Louis' company had gone into financial troubles, leaving us in massive debt, and I was the only legal representative of the company. Many years later, I found myself begging in the snow with a cracked bowl, and I nearly got run over by a luxury car. To my surprise, the one in the driver's seat was none other than Louis, who was supposed to be dead ages ago! Dressed in designer brands and holding another woman in his arms, he jeered at my filthy stench and appearance, even kicking my bowl to pieces. "You're still alive, huh? I was worried that I couldn't trick someone who graduated from a bigshot university, but you were dumb enough to believe it without questioning it for a second!" He laughed, sneering as he continued, "Thanks for working so hard for us, hahaha!" His words filled me with so much anger that I died on the spot, my eyes glaring at him even in death. Little did I expect that when I came to, I found myself back on the day of his accident!
