Perbedaan Die Dan Dead

In my last life, while my father lay on his deathbed, he asked me to choose—inherit his title and become the Don of Vale, or marry my boyfriend, Julian Moreau, and walk away from the family business for good. Becoming the Don meant a lifetime of danger, and likely a political marriage without love. Marrying Julian promised peace. I hesitated. Next morning after the party, I woke up in bed with Julian on my left and my best friend, Sebastian, on my right. I soon found out I was pregnant. With that, I thought the better choice would be marry either Julian or Sebastian—and to give up my right to inherit, handing it to my stepsister. After my father’s funeral, Julian, Vivienne, and Sebastian locked me away and tortured me for days—until my baby and I finally met a tragic end. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the very day my father asked that question. This time, I didn’t hesitate. “I’ll break up with Julian and become the Don of Vale—on my own.”

Three days after my daughter was born, my husband was killed by a car while running to the store for some groceries. I was so devastated I passed out. When I came to, his funeral was already over, and a stranger was standing in my living room. "I'm your husband's twin brother. I'll be around to help take care of you and the baby." Later, I locked myself in the bathroom with his urn, sobbing uncontrollably, when I overheard his buddies talking through the open window. "Dude, you’re so cool blooded. Inventing a twin brother just to dodge diaper duty? What's next—triplets and quadruplets coming out of the woodwork too?"

Three years ago, during our marking ceremony, my fated mate suddenly proposed to my stepsister, Ashley Calisto. When I was publicly humiliated, Owen Wagner, Alpha of the pack and president of the Wolf Alliance, started to pursue me obsessively. A few months later, I became his Luna. He has treated me with great care and tenderness for the past three years. That is, until I get pregnant and accidentally overhear his secret conversation with a witch. "I need a potion that will kill the pup in her womb without her noticing," Owen says. The witch asks in confusion, "Alpha Owen, why don't you want this heir?" Owen replies coldly, "The only one worthy of bearing my pup is Ashley. This entire thing had been orchestrated to protect Ashley anyway." So, all this tenderness has just been part of a carefully crafted lie. If that's the case, I'll let them have each other.

When my son asked me about his father while crying once again, I pointed at the television. Samuel Shaw, who had just made it into the top three of the wealth rankings, was being interviewed. He said he had achieved fame and success, and the person he hated most was his childhood sweetheart and ex-wife. “She abandoned me when I was gravely ill, all for the sake of money. But it was that very betrayal that pushed me to rise from the ashes in my darkest hour.” The reporters grew excited and suggested contacting me on the spot. "She must be filled with regret, begging Mr. Shaw to take her back!" My phone rang right then. I answered and immediately asked for money. "Samuel, my son is sick. Could you lend me sixty thousand dollars?" He abruptly hung up the phone and said with a cold laugh, "Knowing she's living so miserably gives me peace of mind." Looking at the kidney failure report in my hand, I silently wept. Six years ago, I secretly donated one of my kidneys to Samuel. Now, his son was suffering from the same disease and didn't have much time left.

Just a few days before my wedding, I accidentally come across a post while scrolling online. The title reads, "To the guy getting married in this city, your fiancée's already cheated on you." Curious, I click in to see the gossip, only to realize I'm the one being talked about. A deep male voice plays in the video. "I heard you're getting married?" The woman in the frame, bare-backed and trembling, chokes back a sob. "After you left, I realized you're still the one I love most. I'm done with him. Take me away, please!" The moment I hear her voice, it feels like someone punches me straight in the chest. Then I notice something on her wrist—the luxury couple's bracelet I gave her just yesterday. And in that instant, I feel like the biggest joke of all. Turns out the fool was me.

Setelah menyelesaikan kuliahnya, Kanala Ayudia Kirana (22) diminta oleh keluarganya untuk pulang ke kampung halaman dan tidak perlu bersusah payah mencari pekerjaan di ibu kota. Namun, Nala menolak dengan alasan tidak ingin menyia-nyiakan gelar di belakang namanya. Ia bersikeras ingin mencari pengalaman kerja selama satu tahun terlebih dahulu sebelum benar-benar menetap di kampung. Keluarganya akhirnya menyetujui, dengan satu syarat: Nala hanya boleh bekerja selama satu tahun, tidak lebih. Sayangnya, baru tiga bulan bekerja di salah satu perusahaan ternama, Nala menyerah. Tekanan pekerjaan yang tinggi dan lingkungan kantor yang tidak sesuai dengan ekspektasinya membuatnya kehilangan semangat. Ia pun memutuskan untuk mengundurkan diri dan berdiam diri di kosan, tanpa keberanian untuk memberi tahu keluarganya. Raras—ibu Nala—yang kemudian mengetahui anak bungsunya sudah tidak bekerja lagi, segera mendesaknya untuk pulang. Sebelum Nala sempat menolak, Raras lebih dulu mengancam tidak akan lagi mengirimkan uang bulanan. Terpojok dan kehabisan pilihan, Nala akhirnya menyerah. Ia berkemas dan pulang ke kampung halamannya. Namun siapa sangka? Di antara hamparan sawah dan hari-hari yang membosankan di warung milik ayahnya, hadir Hanggara Wiratama (31), juragan tanah sekaligus pemilik peternakan ayam terbesar di desa tetangga, selain itu ia juga menjalankan usaha jual-beli beras yang ia bangun dari nol, tak lupa dengan usahanya di kota yang tidak banyak diketahui orang. Sosoknya yang tenang dan apa adanya membuat Nala belajar bahwa pulang bukan berarti kalah, melainkan menemukan tempat untuk tumbuh. Bersamanya, Nala menyadari bahwa tidak semua mimpi harus dikejar jauh ke kota, sebagian justru menunggu untuk ditemukan di rumah.
