"Mau nggak?" Aku tidak sengaja mengirim pesan tentang janji manikur dan pedikur ke kakak laki-laki sahabatku, padahal seharusnya pesan itu untuk sahabatku sendiri. Sepuluh menit kemudian, aku menerima balasan dari kakaknya: [Mireya ada di bawah, turunlah.] Aku tidak menyangka, selain usianya yang sudah matang, ternyata bagian lain miliknya juga besar. Malam itu, gairah meluap dan semuanya nyaris lepas kendali. Setelah tersadar, dia berjanji akan bertanggung jawab kepadaku. Dia sangat memanjakanku. Apa pun yang kuminta, selalu dia penuhi. Akan tetapi, ada satu syarat, yaitu aku tidak boleh mengaku bahwa aku adalah kekasihnya di depan umum. Lima tahun kemudian, dia pulang membawa seorang wanita. Sambil merangkul pinggang wanita itu, dia menyuruhku memanggilnya "Kakak Ipar". Aku bertanya kepadanya, "Kalau dia kakak iparku, lalu apa arti lima tahun penantianku untukmu?" Pria itu tersenyum santai, tetapi kata-kata yang keluar dari mulutnya membuat sekujur tubuhku terasa membeku. "Menunggu? Memangnya aku pernah memintamu untuk menunggu?" "Aurelia Faresta, ke depannya, jangan pernah lagi mencintai orang dengan begitu tulus kayak gini. Itu sungguh mengerikan." Ternyata, seluruh cinta yang kuberikan dengan segenap jiwa ragaku, hanyalah sebuah beban yang ingin dia hindari. Aku pun mulai mencoba untuk tidak lagi mencarinya, belajar untuk melepaskannya dan akhirnya … pergi meninggalkannya. Namun, seminggu kemudian, saat aku sedang mengucapkan janji suci pernikahan dengan pria lain …. Sosok pria yang dahulu begitu arogan dan penuh gairah itu, kini berdiri di bawah altar dengan mata yang memerah.

In the fifth year of my marriage with Luca Salvatore, his older brother, Kendall Salvatore, suddenly passes away. As such, Luca becomes the new Don due to the circumstances. But the Salvatore family has one condition for Luca—he has to sire an heir with Kendall's widow, Cindy Newton, in order to maintain the marriage alliance between both families. I refuse to accept that condition. Luca turns it down firmly as well. He even takes my hand and makes a vow right in front of me. "Xandra, I will never yield to my family. You're the only woman fit to become the Donna of the Salvatore family. Our child can be the only one who inherits my position as the Don in the future." But gradually, he has been staying up late due to family affairs more and more often. There's also unfamiliar perfume clinging to his clothes. But today is the day when my suspicions are finally proven to be true thanks to a video sent by an unknown number. In the video, Luca can be seen accompanying Cindy to a prenatal check-up. As he caresses her baby bump, he says in a tender tone, "You must have suffered a lot, Cindy. Thank you for siring the heir of the Salvatore family." At that moment, I finally realize that Luca has already broken the vow he has made to me. Hence, I burn down our home and leave without hesitation. After all, my dad—the Don of the Caprese family—is already urging me to go home and take over the family as the new Donna.

Pada tahun kesepuluh pernikahan kami dengan sang pianis genius, aku terserang sebuah penyakit aneh. Sebulan yang lalu, demi menjaga adik iparnya yang sedang sakit, suamiku absen dari pesta ulang tahunku. Aku yang setiap hari menunggunya pulang, kali ini aku lupa menunggu dan tidur lebih awal. Setengah bulan yang lalu, suamiku membawa adik iparnya menghadiri sebuah pertunjukan penting. Aku yang biasanya pencemburu, kali ini tidak marah sedikit pun dan hanya pulang ke rumah dengan tenang. Tiga hari yang lalu, aku jatuh sakit dan demam tinggi. Suamiku bergegas pulang dari luar kota, tetapi ternyata hanya untuk merawat tangan adik ipar yang melepuh karena tersiram air panas. Setelah bertemu di rumah sakit, aku yang biasanya mudah cemburu, justru merasa tenang secara luar biasa. Aku melupakan janji kami untuk menua bersama, juga melupakan kata-katanya dulu yang bilang bahwa dia akan merasa sangat sedih meski kulitku hanya lecet sedikit. Hingga saat suamiku mengatakan ingin menjemput adik iparnya untuk tinggal di rumah dan merawatnya seumur hidup, ingatanku mulai memudar dan aku memanggil Sistem. "Aku mau pulang."
