Aku tidak pernah menyangka, setelah terlahir kembali, aku masih saja memilih suami yang salah. Di kehidupanku sebelumnya, aku memilih tunanganku, Jayden Hanson. Namun, Jayden malah selingkuh dengan putri kaya gadungan, Clarisse Smith, selama tiga tahun. Mereka bahkan memiliki seorang anak di belakangku. Demi wanita itu, Jayden bahkan tega menabrakku hingga kedua kakiku lumpuh. Kemudian, dia memberikan posisi penari utama milikku pada Clarisse. Setelah terlahir kembali, aku memilih menikah dengan adik iparku, Simon Hanson. Awalnya aku mengira sudah lolos dari takdir yang menimpaku di kehidupan sebelumnya, jadi aku bisa mewujudkan impianku sendiri. Namun, sebelum mengikuti audisi penentuan penari utama itu, aku kembali mengalami kecelakaan mobil yang sama seperti kehidupan sebelumnya. Begitu Simon mendapat kabar kecelakaan yang menimpa diriku, dia bahkan tidak ragu-ragu untuk menyinggung orang-orang berkuasa di kota ini. Simon sendirilah yang menjebloskan Clarisse ke penjara. Aku sangat terharu, sekaligus keliru. Aku mengira kalau pilihan yang aku buat setelah terlahir kembali ini merupakan pilihan yang tepat. Aku baru tahu setelah lima tahun kemudian, saat mendengar percakapan antara Simon dan putra kami. Ternyata selama ini, Simon hanya mencintai Clarisse saja. Bahkan putra yang aku lahirkan dengan susah payah juga demikian. Kalau begitu, aku tidak menginginkan Simon lagi. Putra seperti ini, aku juga tidak menginginkannya lagi.

Saat Keluarga Gunawan hampir bangkrut, pasangan suami istri dari Grup Gunawan datang meminta nikah bisnis. Ayahku kasihan melihatku mencintai Sienzo Gunawan selama 10 tahun, jadi dia menyelamatkan Keluarga Gunawan dengan menginvestasi sebesar 20 trilun dan menikahkan aku ke sana. Pada malam pernikahan kami, Sienzo menutup mataku dengan kain merah, lalu memaksaku bercinta berkali-kali dengan kasar. Satu bulan kemudian, aku membawa hasil tes kehamilan dengan senang untuk menemuinya. Tapi aku malah mendengar dia sedang taruhan dengan temannya, “Silvia sudah ditiduri oleh belasan orang. Menurut kalian, siapa ayah dari anak yang dihamilinya?” Teman-temannya pada tertawa, lalu berkata, “Tuan Sienzo, aku cuman menidurinya tiga kali. Nggak mungkin punyaku, ‘kan?” “Menurutku, Ajahar sangat hebat. Malam itu, Silvia hampir gila dibuatnya. Aku bertaruh 200 juta! Itu pasti anaknya!” Aku baru tahu, ternyata orang yang tidur bersamaku di malam pernikahan bukanlah Sienzo, melainkan belasan temannya. Aku menyerbu masuk sambil mengamuk kayak orang gila, tapi Sienzo malah tampak acuh tak acuh, “Ngapain nangis? Waktu itu, kalau bukan keluargamu mengancamku dengan investasi dan membuat Tina pergi, aku nggak akan memperlakukanmu seperti ini.” “Dengar baik-baik, aku baru akan berhenti saat Tina mau maafkan aku.” Aku meminta cerai dengan putus asa, tapi dia malah mengancamku dengan video malam itu dan mengurungku di ruang bawah tanah, “Jangan buru-buru pergi. Kami masih lagi taruhan siapa ayah si anak haram ini.” Delapan bulan kemudian, aku mati bersama bayi saat persalinan sulit di ruang bawah tanah. Saat aku bangun kembali, aku hidup kembali pada hari di mana Keluarga Gunawan memohon pada ayahku untuk berinvestasi dan nikah bisnis itu. Kali ini, Sienzo menangis pada malam pernikahanku.
