”Alya. Please, bantu aku. Dari sejak Mama dan Papa kamu meninggal, kamu bisa melanjutkan hidup sampai sekarang dari hasil penjualan toko itu. Dan sekarang toko itu terancam bangkrut, sementara yang bisa membantu cuma kamu." Mata Alya menyipit, ”Maksud, Tante?” ”Menikah lah dengan Levian, karena dia cuma mau bantu, jika dia berhasil menikahi kamu.” ”Ini gila, Tante! Bagaimana mungkin aku menikah dengan mantan suami Tante ku sendiri, apalagi kalian belum lama bercerai!” ___________________________________________________________ Kalimat itu mengubah hidup Alyandra Prameswari selamanya. Ia tak menyangka, tantenya sendiri tega menukarkan kehormatannya demi uang. Dan yang lebih mengerikan, pria yang diminta untuk dinikahinya bukan sembarang orang — tapi Levian, adik ipar dari mendiang ibunya, yang kini dikenal seantero kota dengan julukan pria dingin. Rumor yang mengembang di keluarganya, pria itu Impoten. Namun, di malam pernikahan paksa mereka, semua yang diyakini Alya tentang pria itu mulai runtuh. Sebab suatu ketika, di balik tatapan matanya yang tenang, Levian berbisik pelan — dengan suara yang membuat darah Alya berdesir. “Kamu percaya semua gosip itu, Alya? Malam ini, aku akan buktikan … siapa yang sebenarnya tidak berdaya.” Dan dari situlah segalanya dimulai — pernikahan yang seharusnya palsu, berubah menjadi labirin penuh rahasia, dendam, dan gairah yang tak bisa diingkari. Sementara di balik semua itu, ada masa lalu kelam keluarga mereka yang selama ini disembunyikan rapat-rapat.

Valentin Kesslers Bruder Konrad Kessler war tot. Seine Mutter Elisabeth Behrens schlug vor, dass Valentin die Verantwortung für beide Familienzweige übernehmen und die schwangere Witwe seines Bruders, Marlene Vogt, heiraten solle – doch Valentin lehnte entschieden ab. „Leonie ist mein Ein und Alles. Lieber verzichte ich auf die Position als Mafiaboss meines Bruders, als meine Frau zu verraten!“ Ich war zutiefst gerührt von Valentins Treue – bis ich zufällig ein Gespräch zwischen ihm und seiner Mutter belauschte. „Das Kind in Marlenes Bauch ist doch von dir. Warum willst du sie nicht heiraten?“ Valentin blies Rauchkringel in die Luft, und sein Blick ging in die Ferne. „Ich habe Marlene versprochen, Konrad einen Erben zu hinterlassen, aber das bleibt unter uns. Wenn Leonie davon erfährt, ist es aus mit mir!“ Seine Mutter sagte verärgert: „Und wenn sie es erfährt? Sie kann selbst keine Kinder bekommen – soll unsere Familie etwa aussterben?“ Valentin unterbrach sie mit scharfer Stimme. „Wenn sie es erfährt, wird sie mich verlassen. Das könnte ich nicht ertragen! Wenn du noch Enkelkinder willst, dann halt den Mund!“ Ich verließ zitternd den Raum, und mit jedem Schritt wurde mir kälter ums Herz. Valentin kannte mich gut. In meiner Liebe duldete ich nicht den kleinsten Verrat – und so hatte ich mich bereits entschieden zu gehen, sobald ich von seinem Betrug erfahren hatte.

At first, I thought life was so easy but as the years had passed, I realized that life is obnoxious, specially for those poor who pray every day to win in a lottery. Since I was a kid, I already had carried a big responsibility in my arms, sometimes making me question myself whether I was born to live happily or the other way around. My mom and father had a divorce when I was a kid, and unluckily, she made me choose between her and papa. And now, too bad but I regretted nothing. On that day, I chose my dad, and never in million of years would I become jealous to my sister (who had chosen mom) just because she is rich and can buy anything she wants. I was used at buying my only basic needs, securing the rest of my money for future because I know I will still be the only one who can benefit at the end. I was just living peacefully, without having any regrets and doubts, but there is a man named Spencer whose arrogance could reach the planet Jupiter. And I can't deny he got the looks that made everyone to flicker after him. But never in million years would I become fluttered just because of silly and corny jokes from him. But I became tongue-tied for predicting everything. Because I was wrong for judging him like that.
