Secrets of the CEO's Child

Episode 1

In a small but comfortable house, a busy woman can be seen preparing breakfast amidst her other activities. She is getting her little daughter ready for her first day of school at a playgroup located not far from her workplace.

"Mommy, Ivy still wants to sleep. Ivy can go to school tomorrow," protests a nearly four-year-old girl as her mother puts on her shoes.

The woman, who is a single parent, just smiles and shakes her head as she sees her reluctant daughter. Yesterday evening, her little girl was so excited to go to school, wanting to meet her new friends. Previously, Ivy didn't have any friends and only played with her nanny.

"Ivy has to go to school, otherwise Mommy will be sad," she says, feigning sadness. The woman knows very well that her daughter won't be able to bear seeing her sad.

"Don't be sad, Mom. Ivy will go to school," the little girl says, hugging her mommy despite the heavy drowsiness in her eyes.

"Good girl," the woman says, kissing her daughter's cheeks with affection.

A daughter who has transformed her bleak life into a better one, and a daughter who has witnessed the ups and downs of Arneta.

Yes, Arneta, a beautiful woman who used to be a famous model abroad, has become a single parent who now works as a secretary in a large company in her city.

The woman who used to be selfish, wicked, cunning, and enjoyed the glamour of the nightlife and changing partners according to her desires, is no longer here. What's left is a caring, motherly Arneta, fully committed to her life and her little daughter.

Yes, Arneta's old life died along with her dark past. Pregnant from an unintentional encounter with a man who took advantage of her, losing Bara, the man she loved deeply, and her career crumbling, almost pushed Arneta into despair if it weren't for the life growing inside her womb.

Thanks to her little daughter, Arneta managed to rise again. She chose to leave Paris and move to Jakarta, starting her new life from scratch, even though it meant depleting her savings. But Arneta has no regrets because her life now is peaceful with her daughter, even though she no longer lives in luxury.

There's only one thing that Arneta regrets in her life: not being able to provide a Daddy figure for Ivy. Even though her little girl never asks about her biological father, she knows that there is something missing in her daughter's life, the absence of love from a biological Daddy.

"Mom, let's go!" Ivy urges when she sees her Mommy lost in thought.

"Oh, yes. Let's go. You can go back to sleep in the car, okay," Arneta says, holding her daughter's hand as they head towards the car. "Aunty Sasha will pick you up later, so don't go anywhere until Aunty Sasha arrives!"

Starting today, Arneta will no longer use a nanny, so Sasha, their neighbor's child, will pick up Ivy and take care of her until Arneta finishes work. Ivy might also be taken to Arneta's workplace, as her boss is a kind person who provides a place for Ivy to play until she finishes work.

Because of her boss's kindness towards Arneta, she becomes the subject of office gossip. Arneta is often accused of selling her body to Mr. Candra or being his mistress, which is why she receives special treatment from him.

But the truth is, Mr. Candra is a good man who treats her like a younger sister. He knows the story of her life as a single parent without any relatives in this city.
