Introduction
Pernikahan tiga tahun Evelyn Taylor dengan Edward Wellington penuh dengan pengabaian yang terang-terangan. Dia menyadari bahwa usahanya sia-sia; kasih sayangnya hanya untuk orang lain. Dengan pasrah, Evelyn menandatangani surat cerai dan mengambil kembali hidupnya, melangkah kembali ke dunia sebagai dirinya yang sebenarnya—satu-satunya pewaris kekayaan besar, seorang dokter terkemuka, seorang peretas elit, dan seorang ahli anggar.
Edward terkejut dengan lapisan-lapisan kepribadian Evelyn yang begitu beragam. Dia tidak pernah membayangkan bahwa wanita yang dia lepaskan memiliki bakat yang begitu memukau.
"Aku telah membuat kesalahan. Apakah ada kesempatan bagi kita untuk memulai lagi?" Edward memohon, menggenggam tangannya dengan kerendahan hati yang baru ditemukan.
Senyum Evelyn mengandung ironi saat dia menjawab, "Daftar dansaku sudah penuh dengan pelamar yang luar biasa. Apa alasan yang aku punya untuk kembali ke masa lalu dengan mantan suami?"

Chapter 1
Ruang tamu itu sunyi senyap.
Sebuah gelas terbang menghantam Edward Wellington, membuatnya basah kuyup. Kalau tidak menghindar, mungkin dahinya akan pecah.
"Dasar kurang ajar, selalu aja melawan aku, ya?" Kakek Edward, Byron Wellington, membanting meja sambil marah-marah.
"Sudah berkali-kali aku bilang jauhi keluarga Adams, tapi kamu malah bawa orang mencurigakan ke rumah sebelum cerai. Apa kata orang tentang Lily? Apa kata orang tentang keluarga Wellington?"
Edward berdiri di sana, diam tapi tegar.
"Tuan Wellington, tolong tenang," pelayan tua itu, khawatir akan kesehatannya, cepat-cepat menuangkan secangkir kopi lagi. Tapi Patrick Wellington mencegatnya dan menyerahkannya kepada Byron dengan hormat.
"Ayah, aku tahu Edward salah, tapi perasaan itu nggak bisa dikontrol. Edward dan Lily sudah menikah tiga tahun. Kalau dia belum jatuh cinta sama Lily sampai sekarang, itu berarti mereka memang nggak cocok."
Patrick seharusnya diam saja. Melihat wajahnya hanya membuat Byron semakin marah.
Byron mengambil tongkatnya dan memukul Patrick. "Ini semua pengaruh burukmu. Aku nggak pernah suka istrimu, dan sekarang Edward melepaskan menantu yang aku setujui." Dia hendak memukul lagi tapi tiba-tiba merasa pusing dan kesulitan bernapas. Edward dan Patrick buru-buru menahannya dan menepuk punggungnya.
"Sungguh memalukan. Kalian berdua sama saja, melepaskan wanita hebat dan memilih yang punya agenda tersembunyi."
Setelah mengatur napas, Byron dengan marah mendorong tangan Edward dan akhirnya mengambil kopi itu. "Ayo, jujur sama aku, bagaimana kamu bisa tanda tangan surat cerai waktu itu? Aku mau tahu seberapa menderitanya Lily bersamamu."
Bibir Edward bergerak saat dia melihat air yang menetes dari rambutnya, mengingat noda air mata di surat perjanjian itu. Dia terjebak dalam pikirannya.
Lily Brown berdiri di depan Edward, matanya penuh dengan rasa sakit, memaksakan senyum pahit. "Apa yang baru saja kamu katakan?"
Edward menjawab dengan sinis, "Aku nggak punya waktu untuk berdebat denganmu. Aku sudah tanda tangan surat cerai."
Lily menggigit bibirnya, mencoba bicara di tengah air matanya. "Edward, kamu pasti bercanda. Perceraian itu sesuatu yang harus kita bicarakan bersama. Bagaimana dengan Kakek..."
Edward semakin tidak sabar. "Kamu tahu bagaimana pernikahan kita terjadi. Aku sudah cukup dengan pernikahan tanpa cinta ini. Bahkan Kakek nggak bisa mengubah pikiranku hari ini."
"Tidak ada perasaan? Edward, kamu nggak lihat kalau aku mencintaimu? Kita sudah menikah tiga tahun, bukan tiga hari atau tiga jam. Kamu sama sekali nggak lihat itu?" Lily hampir hancur, terhuyung ke meja tapi dengan keras kepala mengangkat kepalanya, berharap mendapat jawaban dari Edward.
Tapi ekspresinya tetap sama, dingin dan keras seperti patung. "Kamu selalu tahu kalau bukan karena campur tangan Kakek, aku nggak akan menikahimu. Menikahimu adalah jalan terakhir. Aku punya seseorang yang kucintai, dan dia akan segera kembali."
Saat Edward menyebut cinta pertamanya, Nicole Adams, nadanya melunak, "Seharusnya aku sudah bersama Nicole sejak lama. Sekarang, tidak ada yang bisa menghalangi kami."
Lily tak bisa lagi menahan air matanya dan menatap Edward dengan penuh kesedihan. "Jadi, aku hanya penghalang yang harus dibuang?"
Edward menghela napas, "Pernikahan kita memang kesalahan dari awal. Mengakhirinya sekarang adalah yang terbaik untuk kita berdua."
Keduanya tak berkata-kata lagi, suasana tegang, hanya terdengar suara air mata Lily yang jatuh ke meja.
Lily buru-buru menghapus air matanya, berusaha mempertahankan sisa harga dirinya.
Saat itu, telepon Edward berdering, memecah suasana berat. Melihat nama penelepon, ekspresinya melunak, dan dia menjawab.
"Nicole, bukannya kamu seharusnya ada di pesawat menuju Mythorica? Ada apa?"
"Tidak, Edward, coba tebak aku di mana sekarang?" Suara Nicole terdengar ceria di telepon.
"Aku tidak bisa menebak. Kapan kamu akan kembali? Jam berapa pesawatmu mendarat supaya aku bisa jemput?"
"Aku sudah di Bandara Mugden."
"Apa?" Edward melihat jam tangannya. "Kalau tidak salah, kamu seharusnya tiba jam tujuh malam ini."
Nicole menjawab, "Tapi bagaimana bisa jadi kejutan kalau kamu tahu?"
"Kamu nakal sekali. Tunggu di sana, aku akan segera ke sana." Edward tersenyum penuh kasih, tanpa sedikit pun melirik istrinya, Lily, dan menghilang dari pandangannya.
Lily tak bisa bertahan lagi, jatuh ke sofa di ruang kerja dengan senyum pahit. Sudah berakhir, pernikahan tiga tahun yang tanpa harapan.
Tapi dia tak rela. Dia telah mencintai Edward lebih dari tiga tahun, bahkan sebelum mereka menikah, dia sudah menyukai Edward selama sepuluh tahun.
Apa yang bisa dia lakukan? Jika dia tidak melihat sikap lembut Edward kepada Nicole tadi, mungkin dia akan terus menipu dirinya sendiri, berpikir bahwa suatu hari dia bisa menghangatkan hati dingin Edward dengan cintanya. Tapi sekarang...
Lily memutuskan, menekan rasa sakit yang mencekik di hatinya. Sekarang, mereka hanya bisa mengakhirinya di sini.
Akhirnya, dia dengan tegas menandatangani surat perceraian.
Dia berpikir dalam hati, 'Sudah cukup, Lily, tinggalkan pernikahan ini dengan sisa harga dirimu.'
Saat malam tiba, Lily dengan teratur memeriksa pengaturan meja makan seperti biasa, mengabaikan keramaian di luar pintu.
Edward menggendong seorang wanita cantik di pelukannya, memutar tiga kali di tengah teriakan wanita itu, menarik perhatian semua orang.
"Edward, apa yang kamu lakukan? Turunkan aku, malu dilihat banyak orang. Bagaimana kalau Lily salah paham..." Nicole menekan wajahnya ke dada Edward, menatapnya dengan kesal malu-malu.
"Jangan khawatir tentang dia," Edward tersenyum, tapi ada kilatan ketidaksenangan di matanya, "Aku sudah sangat jelas dengannya; kalau dia punya akal sehat, dia tidak akan mengganggu kita."
Senyum Nicole semakin triumf, matanya menyapu Lily dengan provokasi.
Sejak dia masuk, dia telah melihat sosok Lily yang kesepian. Dia berpikir, 'Apa gunanya Lily menikahi Edward? Pada akhirnya, hatinya tetap milikku.'
Keduanya berjalan ke ruang makan, menarik perhatian semua orang. Begitu mereka duduk, kepala pelayan yang biasanya tenang buru-buru mendekat, berbisik kepada Edward, "Nyonya Wellington telah kabur dari rumah!"

"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
