Chapter 1
Semua keluarga bahagia adalah serupa; setiap keluarga yang tidak bahagia mempunyai cara mereka sendiri.
Keluarga Caroline adalah salah satu daripada keluarga yang tidak bahagia.
Ayahnya mengkhianati ibunya dan tidur dengan wanita lain.
Bukan itu sahaja, ayahnya juga bersekongkol dengan perempuan simpanannya untuk menyeksa ibunya.
Tidak mampu menanggung penghinaan itu, ibunya memilih untuk bercerai dengan ayahnya. Perempuan simpanan itu kemudian dengan mudah mengambil tempat ibunya, menjadi ibu tiri Caroline.
Ibu tiri itu melahirkan seorang lagi anak perempuan untuk ayah Caroline, yang diberi nama Roxanne Campbell.
Ibu Caroline, yang hancur akibat pengkhianatan itu, jatuh sakit dan memerlukan wang untuk rawatan.
Namun, ayah Caroline enggan membantu dan tidak mahu membayar kos perubatan ibunya.
Untuk mendapatkan wang bagi rawatan ibunya, Caroline terpaksa meminta bantuan daripada Roxanne.
Tetapi Roxanne adalah seorang wanita yang dengki dan sangat cemburu dengan kecantikan Caroline serta sentiasa mencari peluang untuk menyakiti Caroline, sama seperti ibunya menyakiti ibu Caroline.
Kali ini, Roxanne akhirnya mendapat peluang untuk menyeksa Caroline dan sudah tentu dia tidak akan melepaskannya.
Roxanne bersetuju untuk membantu Caroline, tetapi dengan satu syarat: Caroline mesti menjalani urusan kotor dengannya.
Terma urusan kotor itu ialah Caroline mesti menyerahkan dara dan tidur dengan seorang lelaki tua dan hodoh.
Selagi Caroline melakukan itu, Roxanne akan bersedia membayar rawatan ibunya.
Pada mulanya, Caroline sangat berbelah bahagi.
Dia masih dara; bagaimana dia boleh menyerahkan daranya kepada seorang yang tidak dikenali?
Tetapi Caroline tiada pilihan.
Jika dia tidak melakukannya, dia tidak akan mempunyai wang untuk rawatan ibunya, dan ibunya akan mati.
Ibunya adalah orang yang paling menyayanginya di dunia ini, dan Caroline tidak boleh hanya berdiri dan melihat ibunya mati kerana sakit!
Untuk menyelamatkan nyawa ibunya, Caroline terpaksa bersetuju dengan urusan kotor itu.
Melihat Caroline bersetuju dengan perjanjian itu, wajah Roxanne berubah menjadi senyuman jahat: "Betul tu, hanya dengan mendengar kata aku, ibumu boleh hidup!"
Dua jam kemudian, di Luxe Harbor Resort, Caroline ditolak masuk ke dalam bilik yang gelap gelita oleh Roxanne.
Dalam kegelapan, seorang lelaki seperti binatang, kononnya Colin Frank, menerkamnya.
Kerana kegelapan, Caroline tidak dapat melihat rupa lelaki itu. Dia hanya tahu lelaki itu seperti serigala lapar, mencium tubuhnya dengan rakus dan merobek pakaiannya...
Caroline menahan kesakitan, hanya berharap ia akan berakhir dengan cepat. Tetapi rasanya seperti jurang tanpa dasar, sentiasa menariknya masuk dan menyeretnya ke bawah...
Di bilik sebelah, Roxanne dengan santai melayari telefonnya.
'Colin, walaupun sudah lebih lima puluh, masih mempunyai tenaga sebegitu.' Roxanne merasakan kepuasan apabila memikirkan Caroline yang suci dan manis sedang berhubungan seks dengannya.
Tambahan pula, Colin adalah pengarah utama bagi siri terkenal "Thunder," dan dia telah menyatakan dengan jelas bahawa jika Roxanne tidur dengannya, peranan utama akan menjadi miliknya. Tetapi Roxanne tidak mahu berurusan dengan Colin yang berminyak dan menjijikkan. Menyuruh Caroline menggantikannya adalah pilihan terbaik.
Ketika fajar mula menyingsing, Caroline akhirnya berjaya melarikan diri dan tersandung masuk ke bilik sebelah. Mata Caroline merah, dan dia berdiri di situ, badannya masih menggigil tanpa kawalan. "Berikan saya duit itu."
Roxanne memandang Caroline dari atas ke bawah, menyeringai, dan melemparkan kad kepadanya. "Lebih baik kau simpan ini rahsia, kalau tidak jangan salahkan aku kalau aku bertindak kejam."
Dengan berkata demikian, Roxanne meninggalkan bilik itu dan masuk ke bilik sebelah, berbaring di atas katil. Dia mempersiapkan dirinya dan kemudian menyiku lelaki di sebelahnya. "Aku sudah jadi milikmu, jadi kau lebih baik tepati janji kau."
Dalam cahaya yang suram, Nathan Kennedy duduk. "Aku akan bertanggungjawab untuk kau. Terima kasih kerana menyelamatkan aku."
Suara Nathan dalam dan magnetik. Roxanne segera sedar dia bukan Colin. Dia menghulurkan tangan dan menyalakan lampu sisi katil dengan satu klik. Nathan mempunyai tubuh yang hebat dan wajah yang tampan. Melihat dengan lebih dekat, Roxanne hampir menjerit. Nathan adalah anak ketiga keluarga Kennedy, keluarga terbesar di Kota Aurora. Dia memegang banyak kuasa dan pengaruh di sana.
Roxanne menutup mulutnya dengan tangan, cuba kelihatan tidak bersalah. "Ini kali pertama aku, kau tahu. Kau kena bertanggungjawab untuk aku."
Kening Nathan bergerak sedikit, kemudian dia memberikan kad perniagaan kepadanya. "Tentu, kau boleh dapat apa saja yang kau mahu."
Dengan itu, dia melangkah keluar dari situ.
Sebaik sahaja pintu tertutup, Roxanne melompat dan mencium kad perniagaan emas itu seperti ia adalah tiket loteri yang menang. "Ini hebat!"
Caroline terus menuju ke ATM terdekat. Melihat baki sebanyak $150,000, dia menghela nafas lega yang besar.
Menggenggam kad itu, dia menahan sebuah teksi dan bergegas ke hospital. Tetapi apabila dia sampai ke bilik Daisy, katil itu kosong.
Caroline menarik seorang jururawat. "Hei, di mana pesakit dari katil 203?"
Jururawat itu memandang ke atas dan berkerut dahi. "Kamu anak dia, kan? Di mana kamu malam tadi? Kami cuba hubungi kamu. Dia sudah meninggal, dan kamu tak ada di sini."
Minda Caroline kosong. "Apa maksud kamu?"
Jururawat itu kelihatan marah, mengelak genggaman terdesak Caroline. "Dia meninggal pada pukul 2:15 pagi, walaupun kami berusaha."
"Ibu saya baik-baik saja semalam. Kamu berbohong! Kamu mesti berbohong," Caroline merungut, mata kosong. "Mustahil."
Tiba-tiba, Caroline teringat sesuatu dan mula menggeledah begnya, menaburkan barang-barang di mana-mana sehingga dia menemui kad bank. "Ibu saya berhutang bil perubatan, jadi kamu sembunyikan dia, kan? Saya ada duit sekarang. Saya akan bayar! Tolong, selamatkan dia."
Jururawat itu memandang Caroline yang patah hati dan mengeluh. "Kamu perlu pergi ke bilik mayat untuk menuntut jenazah."
Dalam keadaan bingung, Caroline menguruskan pengebumian Daisy dan kembali ke sekolah. Dia hampir tidak bercakap dengan sesiapa, hanya menatap telefonnya, melihat gambar-gambar Daisy berulang kali.
