One Step Closer Tunangan

When Ivy returns home for the summer, she’s not the wide-eyed girl her billionaire stepfather raised after her mother’s death. She’s twenty-one now—sharp-tongued, sexy, and trouble in heels. The little girl is gone. In her place is a brat who knows exactly how to push Alexander Wolfe’s buttons… and maybe, just maybe, tempt him to sin. Alexander has spent years locking away his desire for the forbidden girl he swore to protect. He built empires and buried lust behind boardrooms and bourbon. But when Ivy saunters back into his mansion with those legs, that attitude, and that wicked glint in her eyes—every line he drew begins to blur. She wants to tease. He wants to ruin. But what starts as a game of temptation quickly spirals into obsession. As secrets unravel and past sins claw their way to the surface, the line between protector and predator, love and lust, begins to crumble. And when Ivy’s dangerous ex resurfaces and an unexpected pregnancy shakes their world. Alexander will be forced to choose between keeping his twisted desires in the dark… Or claiming his little girl in the most sinful way possible. He raised her like a daughter. Now, he’s ready to make her his wife.

Daisy Morwyn, 22 tahun, hidup dalam penganiayaan keluarga angkatnya. Ingin bebas, gadis itu segera mencari pekerjaan setelah lulus. Namun Daisy justru diterima sebagai asisten pribadi tunangan kakak angkatnya, Jade Draxus. Sejak melihat memar di tubuh Daisy, perhatian Jade mulai tertuju padanya. Kedekatan mereka berkembang cepat, hingga satu malam panas menjebak mereka dalam hubungan terlarang yang seharusnya tidak pernah ada. “Saya bebas melakukan apa pun padamu, Daisy. Kau cukup menikmatinya saja,” ujar Jade sambil melepas kancing kemeja Daisy.

Perang dingin memasuki hari ketiga, tunanganku sengaja menyetujui usulan asistennya untuk melakukan perjalanan keliling dengan mobil. Dia mengira aku akan cemburu dan berebut seperti biasanya. Namun siapa sangka, sebulan kemudian saat dia kembali, dia mendapati aku sudah berubah. Dia membantu asistennya merebut proyekku. Aku tidak lagi ngambek lalu mengundurkan diri, malah mondar-mandir sibuk membantu, lalu menuliskan proposal untuknya dengan rajin. Demi asisten itu mendapatkan bonus akhir tahun, dia menghancurkan desain yang sudah susah payah kuselesaikan. Aku pun tidak lagi berusaha membuktikan diri, melainkan malah menanggung semua kesalahan dan membiarkan dia menghukumku sesuka hati. Bahkan ketika dia hendak menaikkan jabatan asisten itu menjadi direktur utama perusahaan, aku tidak marah. Aku malah secara sukarela menyerahkan seluruh saham yang ada di tanganku, membiarkan tunanganku membaginya dengan bebas. Asisten itu merasa sangat puas. "Lihat, benar 'kan yang kubilang? Kak Penny itu tipe yang nggak bisa dilawan secara keras. Harus diperlakukan dengan sikap dingin, baru ada efeknya. Pasti karena beberapa hari kamu pergi, hasilnya langsung kelihatan. Dia takut kehilangan kamu, makanya sekarang jadi patuh begitu." Tunanganku percaya pada ucapan asisten itu sepenuhnya, bahkan memuji kepintaran asisten itu. Setelah itu, dia sengaja mencariku untuk menaikkan jabatan dan gajiku, bahkan untuk pertama kalinya berjanji akan memberiku sebuah pernikahan yang tak terlupakan. Namun, dia tampaknya lupa. Selama masa liburan itu, dia sudah menandatangani surat pengunduran diriku. Dan aku juga sudah putus dengannya. Sejak saat itu, kami memutuskan hubungan sepenuhnya, tanpa ada lagi keterkaitan apa pun.

Pada hari pernikahanku, tunangan mafiaku, Ryder Soesatyo, menyuruh anak buahnya menghalangiku masuk ke gereja. Sebaliknya, dia malah berjalan di lorong altar dengan wanita lain di lengannya. Ryder mengangkat bahu ke arahku dari balik gerbang besi. "Emilia, Keluarga Soesatyo butuh seorang pewaris dan Carmela sedang mengandung keturunan Keluarga Sutanto. Begitu aku memakai pengaruh Keluarga Sutanto untuk mengukuhkan posisiku di keluarga, aku akan menceraikannya. Kamu akan tetap menjadi wanitaku." Semua orang mengira aku akan menganggukkan kepala dengan patuh dan menunggu Ryder kembali. Aku mencintainya melebihi hidupku sendiri selama sepuluh tahun ini, bahkan putus hubungan dengan keluargaku demi dia. Namun, aku naik jet pribadi malam itu juga untuk pergi ke Sikilua dan menerima perjodohan dengan pemimpin dari Keluarga Basuki. Sejak saat itu, aku menghilang tanpa jejak dari dunia Ryder Soesatyo. Tiga tahun kemudian, aku kembali ke Nalumandia bersama suami dan anakku untuk membereskan seorang pengkhianat di keluarga. Zayn memiliki urusan mendadak, sehingga dia menyuruh anak buahnya menjemputku. Namun, aku tidak menyangka akan melihat wajah seseorang dari masa laluku. Ryder menatapku sambil menyeringai. "Sudah puas bersenang-senang di luar sana? Karena kamu sudah merangkak kembali, ini pas sekali. Putranya Carmela butuh juru masak. Kamu bisa mengerjakannya." Tunggu. Ryder baru saja memanggilku, Nyonya yang paling dihormati di dunia bawah tanah, ini sebagai juru masak?
