Sejak menikah dengan Stevanus, dia benar-benar menahan diri demi aku dan memutus semua hubungan dengan wanita-wanita di luar sana. Semua orang iri padaku, menganggap aku pandai mengendalikan suami dan memiliki keluarga yang harmonis. Hingga pada hari peringatan pernikahan kami yang ke-9, tanpa sengaja aku melihat pesan grup obrolannya dengan para sahabatnya. [ Van, kemarin sama adik tingkat di dalam Bentley, pengalamannya lumayan ya? ] [ Aku sudah coba dengannya di segala situasi, dia cinta mati sama aku sampai nggak bisa melepaskan diri. ] Di bawahnya terlampir foto-foto mesra mereka dan grup itu dipenuhi sorak sorai serta ucapan selamat, mendoakan agar hubungan mereka langgeng. Aku menatap layar ponsel, rasa sakit yang menyesakkan memenuhi dadaku. Ternyata semua waktu bahagia yang kujalani bersamanya hanyalah sebuah sandiwara yang dirancang dengan saksama. Aku terduduk kosong semalaman, hingga akhirnya menunggu Stevanus yang pulang larut. Melihat kue perayaan yang dia bawa di tangannya, aku tak bisa menahan diri untuk mencibir dingin, "Aku sudah tahu semuanya. Kamu nggak capek terus berpura-pura?"

I made a mistake. A terrible, unforgettable mistake. It all started with one reckless, drunken night—a night that shattered everything I knew. I slept with him. Not just any man, but Zayden Whitemore—my father’s best friend, the man I’d secretly loved for years. I thought it was just a one-time mistake. But I was wrong. Because now, I’m marrying his son. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. I was supposed to marry Vincent to save my father’s failing business, to escape the scandal that ruined my family. But how can I pretend to be the perfect wife when my heart—and body—crave his father? Zayden is older, untouchable, forbidden. Every time he looks at me, I burn with desire. Every time he pushes me away, I fall harder. We both know it’s wrong, but we can’t stop. Loving him is dangerous. Staying with him could destroy me. But walking away? That might break me for good. How do you escape a love that’s forbidden, dangerous… and impossible to forget?

Selama lima tahun, aku menikah dengan pewaris Keluarga Romano, keluarga kejahatan terbesar di Igali. Setiap malam, dia memelukku dan berbisik, "Berikan aku seorang pewaris dan akan kuberikan seluruh kerajaan Keluarga Romano padanya." Namun, aku tak pernah hamil dan kekecewaan sang bos mafia terhadapku kian bertambah setiap bulan yang berlalu. Hingga akhirnya aku tahu bahwa suamiku diam-diam menukar asam folatku dengan pil kontrasepsi. Aku masih terguncang oleh amarah ketika melihat sebuah unggahan dari mantan pacarnya, sebuah foto USG. Caption-nya manis sekaligus menyebalkan, penuh rasa kemenangan. [ Usianya sepuluh minggu. Vincent bilang dia sudah nggak sabar bertemu bayi ini. ] Melihat banjirnya ucapan selamat, keputusanku pun bulat. Aku menemukan kontak mantan pacarku, orang yang selama lima tahun terakhir tak pernah berhenti berusaha merebutku kembali dan aku mengirimnya satu pesan singkat. [ Kasih aku satu bulan. Setelah itu, aku akan pergi bersamamu. ]

Leon Vincent, the shark of Warren Street, is the one who raised me. Twelve years ago, a fire tore through the orphanage and took everything from me. He was the one who pulled me out of the flames and gave me a second chance at life. To repay him, we make a weird deal—a 99-debt contract. I have to either obey him or be abandoned 99 times. After that, the debt will be cleared. Every time he goes on a date with some high-society socialite, he'll toss another insanely expensive piece of jewelry into my safe. In just two short years after turning 18, I've accumulated 96 diamonds in my safe, each one marking the 96 times he's cast me aside. One day, his fiancee, Elena Harrington, sends me a provocative email. "Dearest Isabelle, Leon and I are finalizing the wedding invitations. Do you think velvet with gold foil or matte leather would be more elegant? The ceremony's early next month. Can't wait to see you there! Love, Elena." Right after that, Leon calls, asking me to pack his bags for the summit in Parienne tomorrow. I simply send the wedding gift I've prepared in advance—a seven-figure emerald necklace—straight to his darling Elena without any words. That night, Leon returns to the apartment and finds out what I've done. He praises me for being considerate. Late into the night, he pulls me into his arms with rare tenderness. Nothing is left between us; no clothes, no holding back. He whispers that he wants to give me a special kind of reward, one that only I can carry. Somehow, Elena discovers my pregnancy. She stands on the balcony of Vincent Estate, screaming like her life depends on it. "Leon, I'm begging you! Don't let her have that baby! If you do, I'll jump!" The cold and proud Leon begs me, for the first time, to get rid of the baby. Everyone at the party awaits my breakdown, but I just smile softly and nod. "Alright. I will." He whispers in my ear, "Our marriage is just a business arrangement. I don't even like her. Once we're divorced, I'll give you another baby." What he fails to realize is that it was never in my plans to keep this one. There are only three more times left before I pay off this life debt from when he pulled me out of that fire all those years ago. After the 99th time, I board a ship bound for Azara to join a medical research mission. From that moment on, my life will be mine alone to live for.
