After my parents died in a car crash, my cousin stole the compensation money and moved overseas to start a business. My aunt begged me on her knees not to call the police. Then, she locked me in a dark basement for three months. I was close to breaking down and ending my life when Julien Lawson, the neighbor’s son, broke down the basement door and saved me. “Joyce, what they did is unforgivable! They stole the compensation money for your parents’ deaths. You were going to use it to open your own studio! “Marry me. I’ll protect you.” He was the only person who cared about me after my parents died. I was so grateful that I married him and had his child. I worked three jobs during the day to help support the orphanage that Julien ran. At night, I took care of our child and created design sketches. But no matter how hard I tried, none of my work was ever accepted. Even though Julien told me to keep at it, I felt discouraged and thought of giving up on my design career to focus on our family. One day, our child was sick. I went to take over the shift from Julien when I overheard him talking to my aunt on the stairs. “Julien, it’s been ten years. Joyce’s designs are getting better and better. She even passed the first round of the national competition. Are you really not going to tell her about the next round?” my aunt asked. Her voice trembled. Julien said coldly, “For years, I’ve been sending Joyce’s design sketches to Mindy to copy and enter in the competitions or publish as her own. “To help Mindy’s career, I can’t let Joyce move on to the next round. “Joyce has talent. If people notice her, she’ll be a threat to Mindy’s career!”

[Warning, mengandung kebaperan tingkat dewa, pernah publish di Dreame pada Agustus 2020] Barbela Manda, nama kerennya Arbela, nama guyonnya Barbel. Datang dari Yogyakarta dengan sepucuk surat wasiat dari Almarhum sang Ayah sebelum meninggalkan dirinya sendiri. “Carilah keluarga Algibran di Jakarta. Sampaikan nama Ayah dan tinggal lah dengan mereka, belajarlah di sana dan bahagia.” Membuat Arbel dengan berat hati meninggalkan sanak saudara dan kerabat di Yogya untuk pergi berpetualang di Jakarta. Ares Algibran, cowok ber IQ hampir 200 yang saat ini sedang menempuh pendidikan kedokteran, mengikuti jejak Ayah, Ibu serta leluhur keluarganya. Keluarga dokter paling terkenal di Indonesia, pemilik Rumah Sakit bergengsi di Jakarta, keluarga Algibran. Pintar, tampan, kaya, atletis dan lain-lain. Dalam kata lain, Ares adalah definisi sempurna. Hanya satu kelemahannya, sikap arogan dan dingin yang gak ketulungan. Membosankan dan cuma tahu bagaimana menghabiskan waktu untuk belajar. Serta kelakuan kakunya yang tidak bisa mengungkapkan perasaan sebenarnya. Gawatnya, Arbela malah jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama. “Saya boleh panggil kamu mas?” “Ga.” “Saya boleh berangkat bareng?” “Ga.” “Mau saya buatin teh?” “Hmm.” Bagaimana jika mereka di haruskan bertunangan karena perjanjian masa lalu dan wasiat Ayah Arbela? “Saya mau kamu pura-pura gak kenal saya di kampus, dan jangan pernah kasih tahu siapa-siapa kalau kamu tinggal di rumah saya, apa lagi ngaku-ngaku kamu tunangan saya.” Bagaimana jika Ares yang menentang dan bersikap bodo amat kepada Arbel malah berbuat ‘kesalahan’ yang mengharuskannya bertanggung jawab? “Satu tahun. Buat saya jatuh cinta sama kamu dalam waktu satu tahun. Kalau bisa, saya akan lanjutkan pertunangan ini ke jenjang yang lebih serius.” Ares yang sadis dan Arbel yang Masokis. Bisakah Arbel memenangkan cinta Ares dan mendapatkan pertanggung jawaban yang semestinya?
