Everyone is envious of my flawless husband, Samuel Copeland, who indulges in everything I say. But what they are unaware of is the fact that he has betrayed me thrice. The first time is when he cheated on me with his secretary, Tiffany Finch. He fires her and explains to me repeatedly that it's just a misunderstanding. I choose to believe him. The second time is when I'm at my pregnancy checkup at the hospital, alone. Then, I end up seeing him accompanying Tiffany on her pregnancy checkup when he's supposed to be on a business trip. I have a huge fight with Samuel over it and almost had a miscarriage. Frightened out of his wits, he makes Tiffany get an abortion, then sends her away overnight. He pleads with me for half a year before I agree to return home for our child's sake. The last thing I expect is for him to cheat on me a third time, when he actually brings our child to acknowledge Tiffany as his mother. Angered, I fail to avoid the car that's coming right in my direction. In the end, I die a tragic death in a traffic accident. The next time I open my eyes, I have returned to the day when Samuel accompanies Tiffany on her pregnancy checkup. This time, I am prepared with a divorce agreement as I have decided to let them have their way. Yet, Samuel gives up everything he has, just so that he can beg me to change my mind.

Di perjamuan keluarga, Ibu mengeluarkan beberapa foto pria dan bertanya siapa yang ingin kujadikan pasangan dalam pernikahan politik ini. Di kehidupan ini, aku tak lagi memilih Samuel. Sebagai gantinya, aku mengeluarkan sebuah foto dari dalam tas dan menyerahkannya padanya. Di foto itu bukan Samuel Gusmawan, melainkan paman kecilnya Jeffrey Gusmawan, penguasa sejati Keluarga Gusmawan saat ini. Ibu menatapku dengan penuh keterkejutan. Bagaimana tidak? Aku telah mengejar Samuel selama bertahun-tahun. Tapi yang Ibu tak tahu, di kehidupan sebelumnya, setelah aku menikah dengan Samuel, dia hampir tak pernah pulang ke rumah. Aku selalu mengira itu karena pekerjaannya yang terlalu sibuk. Setiap kali ada yang bertanya, aku selalu menyalahkan diri sendiri, seolah-olah semua itu adalah kesalahanku. Sampai di hari peringatan pernikahan kami yang ke-20, aku tak sengaja menjatuhkan kotak yang selama ini terkunci rapat di dalam lemari. Saat itulah aku menyadari, sejak awal hingga akhir, orang yang ia cintai adalah adikku sendiri. Ia tidak pulang bukan karena sibuk, melainkan karena ia tak ingin melihatku. Namun di hari pernikahan, saat aku menyerahkan cincin kawin pada Jeffrey, Samuel menjadi gila.
