"Ano? Sa tingin mo ba, I’d fall for you if you sweet-talked me?" Anya ni Claire na sinamahan niya pa ng nakakadismayang iling. "I waited for you for five long years, Luke. Five years and now that I am finally over you and dating your best friend," dagdag niyang pailing iling ulit habang unti unting umaatras si Luke sa pader, "—you dare do this to me, wreaking havoc on my emotions?

Get out now before I lose my mind completely," he murmured between heavy breathing and gazing at her lips. A muscle in his jaw twitched, knowing full well that their close proximity made his blood warm and tingly. God, he wanted this woman so bad.

"Kita harus cerai, jika dalam dua tahun tidak ada cinta di antara kita atau tidak ada alasan yang menghalangi perceraian itu," ucap Bisma, tenang. "Bisa jelaskan apa aja yang Mas Bisma anggap menghalangi perceraian?" tanya Cassie meminta penjelasan. "Ya ... semisal kamu hamil. Namun, itu kecil kemungkinan, karena saya gak mungkin akan menyentuh kamu." *** Cassie tak menyangka kehidupannya yang semula hanya berisi hal yang indah-indah harus berubah menjadi aneh semenjak kedua orang tuanya memutuskan untuk menjodohkannya dengan seorang duda yang merupakan putra tunggal dari sahabat—yang sekaligus saudara jauh dari sang ibu. Bisma, si duda sekaligus bos di perusahaan tempat Cassie magang, terpaksa menerima perjodohan lantaran ia tak ingin mengecewakan kedua orang tuanya. Namun, perbedaan usia yang jauh, ditambah sikap dan tingkah laku Cassie kerap membuat Bisma geleng kepala, menjadikan kehidupan Bisma yang semula penuh keseriusan, perlahan berubah lebih berwarna. Kehidupan pernikahan mereka pun kerap diramaikan dengan perseteruan yang tak lazim, serta hal-hal baru bermunculan dalam kehidupan Bisma—yang mau tak mau membuat Bisma mencoba berpikir dan melihat segala hal dari sudut pandang berbeda. Namun, segalanya tak akan pernah mulus. Kehadiran mantan istri Bisma serta pengakuan cinta dari sahabat Cassie pada akhirnya membuat keduanya sedikit goyah. Akankah benih cinta yang tak mereka sadari itu tumbuh menjadi cinta? Atau mereka harus mengakhiri pernikahan mereka hanya karena kegoyahan hati akan kehadiran cinta lain dalam kehidupan mereka?

So when his father's friend asked for help to let his daughter be engaged with him, he immediately agreed. Zacky doesn't believe in love, so it's not up to him to marry anyone. He has never seen his daughter because she grew up in the province, but the desire to get that island pushed him to do that. Arranging a marriage with that girl is easy, but he is so shocked and challenged at the same time when he hears something about that girl. The person who will be engaging with him is a tomboy.

Makakaya kaya ni Zacky na gawing tunay na babae ang mapapangasawa niya na isang pusong lalake?
