—Señora Flores, por la revisión específica, su certificado de matrimonio contiene información falsa; el sello y la firma son falsos. Las palabras del agente, de manera ligera, dejaron a Alba Flores aturdida mientras venía a solicitar una reposición de su certificado de matrimonio. —Imposible… Mi esposo, Carlos Sainz, y yo nos casamos legalmente hace cinco años. Por favor, ¿podría verificarlo de nuevo? El agente volvió a ingresar los números de identificación de ambos para realizar la búsqueda y confirmó: —El sistema muestra que Carlos Sainz sí que está casado, pero usted está soltera. La voz de Alba temblaba al preguntar: —¿Y quién es la esposa legal de Carlos Sainz? —Laura Escanes. Alba se agarró con fuerza al respaldo de la silla, intentando mantener la compostura. Le entregaron los documentos de vuelta y las palabras “Certificado de Matrimonio” del encima brillaban, provocándole un dolor en los ojos. Al principio, Alba había pensado que podría ser un error del sistema, pero al escuchar el nombre de “Laura Escanes”, todos sus sueños se vinieron abajo de inmediato. La boda grandiosa de hace cinco años, el matrimonio ejemplar que parecía inseparable durante estos cinco años, todo aquello de lo que se sentía orgullosa, resultó falso. Alba sostenía aquel certificado falso sin ningún valor legal, regresó a casa desanimada. Justo cuando iba a abrir la puerta, escuchó voces en el interior. Era el abogado de la familia Sainz: —Señor Sainz, ya han pasado cinco años. ¿No considera otorgarle a su esposa un reconocimiento legal de su posición? Alba se detuvo y contuvo la respiración. Después de un largo silencio, la profunda voz de Carlos Sainz resonó: —Esperemos un poco más. Laura aún está trabajando en el extranjero. ¿Cómo podría mantenerse en ese mercado lleno de empresarios sin el título de la señora Sainz? El abogado familiar lo advirtió: —Su matrimonio con la señora, sólo tiene nombre, pero sin sustancia. Si ella decidiera, podría irse en cualquier momento.

Devan Atmadja, pria yang katanya mencintaiku sepenuh hati. Di mata orang lain, dia adalah suami teladan… pria idaman. Namun, dia telah mengkhianatiku tiga kali. Pertama kali, tiga tahun lalu. Sahabatnya, Dion Prasetya, meninggal demi menyelamatkannya. Devan menyembunyikan semuanya dariku, lalu diam-diam menikah dengan pacar Dion, Keira Maheswari. Hatiku saat itu hancur. Aku sudah bersiap pergi. Namun, malam itu juga, dia mengirim wanita itu ke luar negeri, lalu berlutut di hadapanku, memohon dengan penuh kesedihan. “Viona… Dion mati demi aku. Aku harus menjaga istrinya. Surat nikah itu hanya jaminan untuk Keira. Setelah membalaskan dendam Dion, aku akan menceraikannya. Satu-satunya wanita yang kucintai… hanya kamu!” Dan bodohnya… aku memaafkannya. Setahun kemudian, Devan justru mengumumkan status Keira sebagai nyonya besar keluarga di depan semua media. Dia kembali memberiku penjelasan. “Keira adalah putri tunggal Keluarga mafia Maheswari. Pernikahan ini adalah bentuk aliansi demi membalas dendam untuk Dion! Kami sudah sepakat, setelah semua selesai, aku akan menceraikannya… lalu menikahimu!” Lagi-lagi aku percaya padanya. Kemudian setahun lalu, di sebuah pesta, Devan dijebak dan menghabiskan malam bersama Keira. Dia menutupinya dariku. Sampai dua minggu lalu, ketika aku melihatnya sendiri, dia menemani wanita itu melakukan pemeriksaan kehamilan di rumah sakit. Dengan tatapan yang tak sanggup bertemu denganku, dia berbisik, “Viona, ini cuma kecelakaan. Setelah dia melahirkan, aku akan mengirimnya pergi. Anaknya akan diasuh orang tuaku, dan seumur hidup mereka tak akan pernah muncul di hadapanmu.” Dengan dalih cinta, Devan membuatku terus mengalah. Tapi hari ini… aku sadar. Tak ada lagi masa depan untuk kami. Sudah saatnya… aku pergi.

Suami yang telah menikah denganku selama lima tahun, ternyata adalah pewaris keluarga mafia, Keluarga Leis yang selama ini terasing. Di hari dia dijemput kembali oleh keluarganya, dia menggandeng Justin, putra kami dan Vinnie, cinta pertamanya menuju mobil mewah seharga miliaran. Sambil mengerutkan kening, dia berkata padaku, “Sofia, aku hanya persiapkan untuk membawa Vinnie dan Justin. Kamu tunggu di sini dulu. Tunggu posisiku stabil di Keluarga Leis, baru akan datang menjemputmu.” Aku mengangguk dengan tenang dan menuruti pengaturannya tanpa komentar. Karena aku tahu meski memaksakan diri untuk mengikutinya, pasti tidak akan berakhir dengan baik. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, aku menangis dan meronta-ronta untuk ikut dengannya. Roy yang merasa terpaksa, akhirnya membawaku pulang ke kediaman Keluarga Leis. Namun, kebahagiaan itu hanya bertahan sebentar. Vinnie menjebakku dengan tuduhan bahwa aku membocorkan rahasia Keluarga Leis. Berdasarkan aturan keluarga, aku pun dijatuhi hukuman mati. saat putusan dibacakan, Justin berteriak dengan mata berkaca-kaca, “Aku benci denganmu! Kalau saja kamu nggak memaksa untuk ikut pulang, aku nggak akan punya ibu pengkhianat dan sudah punya ibu yang lebih baik sejak awal!” Seketika, hatiku benar-benar hancur. Kini, setelah terlahir kembali ke masa sebelum suamiku dijemput keluarganya, aku memutuskan untuk melepaskannya. Aku tidak akan lagi menjadi penghalang bagi kebahagiaan sepasang ayah dan anak itu.

An meinem süßen sechzehnten Geburtstag kamen meine drei Brüder mit einem Mädchen namens Sylvie nach Hause. Sie sagten mir, ich müsse sie wie ein Familienmitglied behandeln. Ich dachte nicht, dass sich viel ändern würde. Aber Jahre später hatte sich alles verändert. Jace, mein jüngster Bruder, stieß mich wegen ihr die Treppe hinunter. Asher – der Älteste, der mir einst versprochen hatte, mich für immer zu beschützen – sagte mir, ich solle verschwinden. Also ging ich. Still. Sie dachten, ich würde nur überreagieren. Also nahmen sie Sylvie mit nach Frankreich, ohne sich auch nur die Mühe zu machen, nach mir zu sehen. Was sie nicht wussten: Ich hatte meinen Namen unter einen Vertrag unterschrieben – einen Vertrag, der mich mit dem größten Rivalen unserer Familie verband, indem ich ihre jüngste Chemikerin wurde. Schwarz auf weiß geschrieben konnte ich niemals nach Hause zurückkehren. In der Nacht, in der sie erfuhren, dass ich wirklich für immer weg war, da zerbrachen sie. Jeder einzelne von ihnen.
