After I, Rosalie Ricci, was stood up 17 times, the mafia don, Daniel Marino, finally holds the perfect engagement banquet for me. In our second year together, we are ready to get married. But every single time, he has an excuse to hold our engagement off. He says he's busy with work, the timing isn't right yet, or that he isn't quite ready. I never blame him because I love him. I have loved him since our school days. In fact, I have loved him for seven whole years. This is the 18th time.

Aku baru berusia tujuh tahun ketika Bima Ammar memungutku dari jalanan. Sejak saat itu, aku resmi menjadi belati yang dia sembunyikan di balik bayang-bayang. Di usia delapan tahun, aku mulai menggenggam pisau. Di usia 15, aku menghancurkan musuh-musuhnya hingga tak bersisa. Bahkan di hari ujian kelulusan sekolah, aku masuk ke sarang penculik seorang diri demi menyelamatkannya, pulang dengan tubuh yang terkoyak 17 luka tusukan. Sejak saat itu, dia memanjakanku habis-habisan. Begitu aku mencapai usia legal, dia langsung menarikku untuk mendaftarkan pernikahan. Dia berjanji dengan penuh penekanan, berbisik di telingaku, "Rhea, aku akan mencintaimu selamanya." Tubuhku penuh dengan bekas luka yang mengerikan, tetapi setiap malam, dia selalu mendekapku erat dalam pelukannya. Bibirnya yang hangat akan menyapu setiap inci luka itu, lalu berbisik di tengah keintiman kami yang menyesakkan, "Rhea, kamulah yang paling suci. Jangan pernah tinggalkan aku." Aku sempat memercayai kata-kata itu dengan segenap jiwaku. Sampai akhirnya, aku memergoki sosok wanita idaman yang selama ini dia simpan di luar sana. Dia pikir rahasianya tertutup rapat. Dia tidak tahu bahwa di belakangnya, aku diam-diam telah lolos seleksi masuk universitas. Dan gadis yang dia puja-puji dengan sepenuh hati itu, ternyata adalah teman baikku sendiri di kampus.
