Alayna must replace her brother to marry Aston to make up for her father's debt. A cold-faced man who loves his beloved very much. People say that Aston is a bad, flawed man. Alayna accepted the marriage to help her father all these years and promised to love Aston. Aston doesn't love Alayna, he hates her. After the wedding, Aston doesn't want Alayna around him at all. Until, one day, Alayna meets Alex. The man who was her first love. Will Alensa follow her first love or be with Aston, her legal husband who doesn't love her?
"Dad!"
"I told you that I don't want to marry him at all!"
"I have a brilliant career in fashion!" shouted Alensa as she stared at her father's aged face. The middle-aged man could only let out a long sigh. Mr. David would come and confiscate all her belongings in their house.
Aldi lowered his body as he pleaded with Alensa. The eldest daughter was angry in front of him at the moment.
"I want you to marry Mr. David!"
"No, Dad!"
"You can't sell me to an old man like that!" protested Alensa. Aldi could only rub his chest as his daughter screamed in front of him.
Alensa from New York to finish her fashion school and she had to marry Mr. David. A 56-year-old man who is even better suited as her father.
Alayna, Aldi's last child, could only sit in the corner of her room as she stared at her brother's angry face. It was not without reason that her sibling was angry and even cursed her father. Alensa has an ambitious spirit toward fashion. Aldi - her father - even had to borrow money from the bank so that Alensa could continue her fashion studies in New York.
The family's economy has been in a sharp decline in recent years in Indonesia. Mr. David known as a successful businessman in the property industry. The old man wanted to propose to Alensa.
Aldi who knew Mr. David's intention was immediately happy. It felt like a breath of fresh air that came to him during the storm of poverty that almost engulfed them.
"You know, I sent you to school with Mr. David's money!"
"If you don't, I'll go to jail!" Aldi said with tears in his eyes. Alayna could never see her father cry.
"Dad, is it necessary to do this?"
Alayna silent for a thousand languages finally spoke up. She had to explain to Alensa how important this marriage was to save their family.
"Please, sister!"
"I don't want to!" Alensa shouted.
She looked at her youngest sister with a sharp look in her eyes. She hated her life like this. Alensa never wanted her life to end up with the companionship of an old man. Let alone having to serve that old man.
"No matter what, Alensa won't get married!" she shouted.
"Dad, if you continue to force me, I will run away from this house!" she threatened later.
Aldi wiped away the tears that were rolling down his cheeks. The police would come to arrest him tomorrow. Mr. David was her only hope.
Aliyna looked at her father's face. Her heart ached to see her father cry.
"Let me be with Mr. David!" pleaded Alayna.
Aldi shook his head. His youngest daughter hadn't finished college yet. The little girl wasn't fit for marriage either. Alayna was only twenty years old.
"No, child!" said Aldi as he looked at his daughter sitting next to him and rubbed her back.
"Father, please!" said Alayna. Aldi still did not agree. Mr. David only wanted Alensa. Only his eldest daughter was Mr. David's charm because she had a very beautiful face.
"No Alayna, Mr. David doesn't want another girl!" said Aldi with a sob.
***
Alayna looked at Alensa's face who was silent. They were in the same room. Alayna persuades her sister to agree with Mr. David's desire to marry her.
"Sister, is there no other way? Father's going to jail!" She prostrated herself in front of Alensa.
"How about you take my place?" she asked as she looked into Alayna's eyes.
"Mr. David only wants big brother, I can't persuade father!"
"Our names are almost the same even though our faces are different, you could have lied to Mr. David!" she scolded as she put some clothes into the suitcase.
"Don't you feel sorry for Father?"
Alensa didn't care even if her brother was prostrating himself in front of her right now. Alensa would not want to marry an old man. She only wanted to marry a handsome man who earned tens of millions and could spoil her.
"I told you, Alayna, I refuse to marry an old man like that! You must save father!"
"Even if the whole world condemns father! You have to stand up for me!" said Alensa as she looked down at her sister's face. Alensa let out a long sigh. All her belongings were already in the suitcase. She had to leave this house if she was going to leave Indonesia.
"Please sister, Mr. David wants you!"
"Go away!"
"You're making my head hurt! If you want to help father, you have to replace me!" Alensa said with a high-pitched intonation.
"You're one of Mr. Aldi's daughters, so you have to woo Mr. David into marrying you! I don't care how!"
"You have to convince him to marry you!"
"If necessary, you try to sleep with him!" said Alensa.
Aliyna rolled her eyes. She had never slept with another man. She had never even met a man. Alensa's idea was crazy.
"I'm going to see Mr. David and I'm going to jail!" Alayna said. Alensa didn't care. She even let her father go to jail rather than sacrifice herself.
Alayna couldn't sleep. She always thought of Alensa's words about seducing Mr. David into marrying her. Aliyna found it disgusting. Begging a man to marry her. Alayna shook her head.
Alayna tried to close her eyes. Trying to regulate her up and down breathing. Her chest felt tight. What if her father had to go to jail? Alayna wouldn't let that happen. Even if she had to sleep with Mr. David. Aliyna would do that.
Tears fell down Alayna's cheeks. Her chest ached even more. Living under these circumstances had never occurred to her. Alensa had a selfish nature. Her sister always didn't want to give in.
Aliyna looked at Alensa's face as she slept beside her. Her sister had a very beautiful face. Even Alensa always got what she wanted. Alensa had quite a good achievement in the fashion field. That's why Alensa didn't want to destroy the career she worked so hard to build.
In a few hours, her father would go to Mr. David's house to turn himself in. Alayna had to go along and try to make her point to Mr. David. She even intended to beautify herself before meeting Mr. David so that he would interest in her.
Aliyna looked at Alensa. Although they came from the same flesh and blood. But Alensa's beauty. Even if Alayna had to wear makeup, her sister would still be more beautiful than her.
Alayna was a little unsure of herself but she had no other choice. Alayna had to do this for her father.
