Tuhan memang pengatur yang baik. Cinta, jodoh, dan rezeki yang telah di tetapkan-Nya. Tapi ... segalanya memang tak selalu seperti yang kita inginkan.

She must fight a corrupt senator, a secret society, and her own fears of the future. Together with her best friend, Hector, she will learn that not everyone can be trusted. Not all stories have a happy ever after. Will this one?

เขาเป็นคนที่ฉันไม่ชอบหน้า แต่เขาดันเป็น ‘คนแรก’ และ ‘คนสุดท้าย’ ที่ฉันโหยหามาตลอด

My love story with my Don husband was once the model relationship for couples all across Edale. But after his sudden death, the notary informed me that I was not the first in line to inherit his estate. I froze. Christian Fuzio was an only child. His parents had long passed away. We had no children. If I wasn't the first in line, then who was? That was when the boy walked in. His face was a perfect copy of Zoe Sgotti, Christian's assistant. The boy crossed his arms and sneered. "Mrs. Fuzio, the person my father loved most in his life was my mother. Of course, most of the inheritance belongs to us." Rae… Ray… Only then did I realize that the name he had whispered on his deathbed was never mine. I lunged forward to question Ray, but he shoved me into the traffic. The moment my head slammed against the ground, darkness swallowed everything. When I opened my eyes once more… I stared at my young, strong hands. Feeling the life that I had once lost growing inside me, I finally understood that I had been given another chance. Christian, this time, I no longer wanted your fake love. I would grant the three of you all the happiness that you wanted.

Her husband, James, stands arm in arm with Tiana — his late brother’s widow, while her son clings to the other woman’s waist, rejecting his own mother. The betrayal does not end there.

And then came the baritone voice from one of the kidnappers: “One life. One choice. You can only save one. Choose!” Sarah turned, seeing how Tiana was communicating with the kidnappers with her eyes. She struggled to let James see the truth; that this was all a setup. But she couldn’t. Her mouth was tapped. But then, like a match striking steel, James’ voice came brittle and final. “Tiana.” He chose his ex over his own wife. Over the mother of his child. Sarah was abandoned in the warehouse. Immediately they left, the warehouse exploded, covered in flames. And Sarah’s screams and cries inside, filled the night. Did Sarah survive the fire outbreak? If she did, can they stand her revenge when she finally returns?

​Zwei Menschen. Ein verbotenes Grab aus Kalk und Pigmenten. Und eine Wahrheit, die tödlich ist. ​Die renommierte Restauratorin Isabella bekommt das Angebot ihres Lebens: In einer abgelegenen, prachtvollen Villa in Italien soll sie ein jahrhundertealtes Fresko freilegen. Doch schon bei ihrer Ankunft spürt sie, dass die Mauern der Villa mehr verbergen als nur alte Kunst. Ihr Auftraggeber, der unterkühlte und machtbesessene Enzo, kontrolliert jeden ihrer Handgriffe über ein Netz aus Kameras. Er ist ein Mann, der keine Fehler duldet und Gefühle als eine tödliche Schwäche betrachtet – eine Lektion, die er blutig lernen musste. ​Während Isabella Schicht für Schicht den alten Gips abträgt, stößt sie auf ein Geheimnis, das niemals das Tageslicht hätte sehen dürfen. Ein Auge starrt sie aus der Wand an – ein Zeuge eines Verbrechens, das Enzo um jeden Preis unter Verschluss halten will. Trotz seiner ausdrücklichen Warnung, nur das Auge freizulegen, treibt Isabellas unbezähmbare Neugier sie weiter. Unter ihrem Spachtel erscheint ein schreiender Mund, und mit ihm die Gewissheit: Dieses Fresko ist kein Kunstwerk, es ist ein Grabstein. ​Als der ehemalige Polizist Paolo Rossini vor den Toren der Villa auftaucht und Isabella vor dem Schicksal ihrer verschwundenen Vorgängerin warnt, muss sie sich entscheiden. Rossini bietet ihr die Flucht an, doch die dunkle Anziehungskraft zwischen ihr und Enzo ist längst zu einer gefährlichen Fessel geworden. ​Enzo merkt, dass er die Kontrolle verliert – über das Geheimnis, über sein Haus und über sich selbst. In der staubigen Stille des Ateliers prallen zwei Welten aufeinander: Isabellas Drang nach der Wahrheit und Enzos Wille, sie im Dunkeln zu lassen. Doch je näher sie sich kommen, desto klarer wird: Wer die Schichten der Vergangenheit freilegt, muss bereit sein, unter ihnen begraben zu werden. ​Die Wahrheit will gesehen werden. Doch manche Blicke überlebt man nicht.

I've been married to Sylvia Fuller, a mafia donna, for ten years. I'm there with her in every life-and-death situation. My hands, which are meant for playing the piano, have developed calluses from using guns. They are also stained with blood from the enemies. But when Sylvia turns 28, she falls head over heels in love with Wilson Hink, the young man she's brought back from the slums. Sylvia has hidden him very well… right until the moment I bump into him accompanying her to a prenatal check-up. Mad with jealousy, I demand Sylvia for answers, but she just passes me a divorce agreement in a lackadaisical manner. "Wilson is a man of religion. He can't sire a child without getting married, so I have to give him a legitimate status. Sign this agreement, and I'll give you 40% of my shares." I refuse to give my position away, so Sylvia keeps forcing my hand. In the end, she even kidnaps my younger brother, who's paralyzed from waist down, and drags him to the spot beneath a hydraulic press. "Sebastian Chance, either you sign the agreement, or watch him get crushed. Your choice." I kneel on the ground and beg Sylvia to stop. But soon, I hear the hydraulic press being activated. It doesn't take long before I'm completely covered in my brother's flesh and blood. I end up collapsing onto the gore-splattered ground. When I open my eyes again, I realize I've gone back in time—back to the time when Wilson has accompanied Sylvia to the prenatal check-up. This time, I don't say anything. Instead, I contact a rehabilitation center located overseas before filing for a divorce and leaving Sylvia behind. But once I'm gone for real, Sylvia actually goes crazy.
