Kania, who had borrowed money from the bank solely to fund her wedding, was deceived by her boyfriend, Tom. Not only was she deceived, but Kania was also humiliated in front of everyone because on the very day of Kania and Tom's engagement, he chose to cheat on her and did not attend their engagement ceremony, leaving Kania heartbroken and running away. The heartbreak that Kania felt led her to check into the Hotel Paradise, where she met a tourist, and in just one night, they engaged in a One Night Stand relationship. Kania decided to lose her virginity to a stranger as a way to heal her emotional wounds. However, after their One Night Stand, the tourist left a box for Kania at the reception. Inside the box was a photo of Kania's biological mother and a card with her name on it. Why did the tourist named Marcell have a photo of Kania's biological mother??"
The decorations adorned the house, and romantic music filled the air, accompanied by the chatter of the invited guests who were eagerly awaiting the engagement ceremony. Meanwhile, Kania, who would soon be engaged, was still getting ready with the help of a makeup artist to look stunning.
Kania felt an inexplicable nervousness. She was afraid that her boyfriend would cancel the engagement ceremony that was about to take place. "No, Kania, your boyfriend loves you deeply. It's impossible for him to cancel it," Kania reassured herself in her heart.
She looked into the mirror, observing her anxious expression while the makeup artist was busy styling her hair. "Is it going to take much longer to do my hair?" Kania asked.
"Please be patient, Miss Kania. I'm trying to make you look perfect," replied the makeup artist, engrossed in her beautiful work.
Kania fell silent, seeing her face now beautifully made up to look like a bride. "I'm just going through an engagement ceremony, why are you making me look so beautiful, like a bride?" Kania asked with a hint of complaint.
The makeup artist smiled, "You are going to be a bride, Kania. Let everyone be awestruck by your beauty," she teased Kania.
Kania blushed, "That's true, my wedding is only two months away," she said, feeling embarrassed.
Kania patiently waited for the makeup artist to finish her job, making her look flawless and enchanting. "Do you think my boyfriend will be captivated by my appearance?" Kania asked with a small smile on her face.
The makeup artist smiled at her, "Of course, you're beautiful and perfect. It won't just be your boyfriend, every man who sees you will be enchanted," she said.
Shortly after, the makeup artist finished her work. Kania looked at herself from head to toe, satisfied with her perfect appearance. Wrapped in a light blue gown and with her natural makeup, she looked even more enchanting.
"I can't wait for my boyfriend to arrive," Kania chuckled.
Meanwhile, outside Kania's room, an older woman glanced at the wall clock, realizing that it was time to start the engagement ceremony. She approached Kania, who was still in her room, with a worried expression.
"Kania, are you ready?" asked Nurdia, Kania's biological mother.
Kania turned to Nurdia and smiled at her, her beautiful makeup enhancing her appearance. "I'm ready, Mom."
Nurdia was mesmerized by her daughter's beauty. "Where is my daughter? Why has my daughter transformed into such a beautiful queen?" she teased and praised her daughter.
Kania blushed with embarrassment, "Mom, don't tease me. Come on, let's go now," Kania urged.
Nurdia took her daughter's hand, leading her out of the room and towards the engagement ceremony. As Kania walked, she managed to capture everyone's attention, and her stunning beauty left everyone in awe.
"Stop staring at my daughter. She will soon belong to someone else," Nurdia said, teasing her daughter.
Nurdia guided Kania to sit on a bench, while they waited for her boyfriend to arrive and begin the engagement ceremony.
"Kania, where is your boyfriend?" Everyone inquired, as they had been waiting for nearly two hours.
"Perhaps, he's on his way right now. Please, be patient," Kania requested.
Kania was anxious, hoping that there would be no disruptions during her engagement. Nearly half an hour passed, and Kania's boyfriend still hadn't shown up.
"Mom Nurdia, I'm sorry, but we can't wait any longer. We have other matters to attend to," said one of Kania's neighbors.
Kania glanced at the clock, realizing that the promised event had already passed. "What is he doing? Why hasn't he come yet?" she wondered, her heart filled with anxiety.
As anxiety gripped her, she felt a gentle hand touch hers. Kania turned to see her mother, who was smiling serenely. "Try calling him, my dear. Don't panic, everything will be alright," Nurdia said softly, her soothing voice providing some comfort to Kania.
Kania reached for her phone and called her boyfriend, the one who had promised to commit to her in holy matrimony. Unfortunately, Kania received no response whatsoever.
"Kania, what did your boyfriend say?" Nurdia asked.
Kania sighed deeply, her restless heart fearing that bad news was about to come. "I haven't heard from him. His phone is turned off," Kania replied.
The entire family was furious, they had been waiting at Kania's house for hours, only to be left disappointed.
"What is this, Kania? We've been waiting here for three hours, only to wait for something pointless!" her uncle scolded, pointing angrily at Kania.
"I'm sorry," Kania said, her voice trembling.
They berated and scolded Kania, accusing her of deceiving them all, putting on a foolish act and wasting their time. Slowly, tears started to flow from Kania's eyes. Her heart ached, and she felt immense disappointment. They had spent three months preparing for the engagement, spent a large sum of money, only to be met with such great disappointment and embarrassment in front of her family.
"Kania," Nurdia called out.
Kania looked at her mother with a disappointed, angry, and sad gaze, eyes that reflected regret.
"I regret the decisions I've made, Mom," Kania said, her voice trembling.
Kania stared blankly into her mother's eyes, unable to hold back the tears that were about to spill and wet her beautifully made-up face. Unable to contain her sorrow, Kania ran away from her home, ignoring the pleas of those around her.
"Why would he do this to me?" Kania wondered.
Kania hailed a passing taxi and quickly got inside.
"Where to?" the taxi driver asked.
"Hotel Paradise," Kania requested.
Inside the car, Kania couldn't stop her tears, looking out of the car window with a deeply sad expression. She reached for her phone, which was in her small bag. She unlocked the phone screen and saw numerous messages, ranging from catering to invitation printing, and even the wedding organizer. Kania began responding to the messages one by one.
"I'm sorry, I'm canceling all the orders I've placed. For compensation, you can take my money," Kania replied to the incoming messages.
All the preparations, from the engagement to the wedding, were Kania's responsibility. She had been too deeply in love to realize that she also needed to protect her heart. While trying to calm herself, Kania suddenly received a call from Tom, the boyfriend who had caused the deepest wounds in her heart.
Kania answered the call, "Hello."

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

Belinda thought after divorce, they would part ways for good - he could live his life on his own terms, while she could indulge in the rest of hers. However, fate had other plans in store. "My darling, I was wrong. Would you please come back to me?" The man, whom she once loved deeply, lowered his once proud head humbly. "I beg you to return to me."
