Five years ago, Alessia La Rosa's life took a drastic turn when, suffering from memory loss, she wed to Dominic Carter under her grandfather's mysterious arrangement. But their marriage was a facade, bringing her only humiliation and heartache as Dominic showed no love, and she couldn't conceive. Upon discovering Dominic's infidelity, Alessia sought liberation through divorce. Yet, fate had more in store for her. Five years later, spurred by an anonymous email hinting at her lost child's whereabouts, she returns to the city with her twin babies in tow, determined to uncover the truth. As she navigates the tangled web of her past, a surprising twist awaits. Dominic, upon meeting her again, finds himself drawn to the woman she has become, unaware of her true identity as his former wife. Little does he know, the woman he's falling for is not only his ex-wife but also a powerful Doctor and Master Hacker.

Accompanying the message was a photo: a man and a woman entering a hotel together.
Though the image was blurry, Alessia recognized Dominic Carter immediately.
A faint smile graced Alessia's lips. So, Dominic hadn't been avoiding her after all.
Ironically, three years ago, she had lost her memory, and a man claiming to be her grandfather had arranged her marriage to Dominic, leaving behind a bank card before disappearing.
With nowhere else to turn and her memory gone, she had simply gone through with the marriage.
Now it seemed she had inadvertently stood in the way of Dominic's feelings, which explained his apparent aversion to her.
As she hovered her finger over the call button, Bianca—her sister-in-law—came out of nowhere with a sinister smile.
"You've been married for three years, Alessia. When will you bless the Carter family with a child?" Bianca Carter's voice held a sharp edge. “But... uh, you are fat and ugly. My brother doesn't even fancy you, and he probably hasn't even touched you, right?”
Alessia winced at the blunt question, knowing there was truth in Bianca's words. Despite carrying the title of Mrs. Carter, she hadn't fulfilled its expectations. Even updates on her husband's whereabouts came through hearsay.
She pressed her lips together, her gaze fixed on the message on her phone.
Alessia chuckled softly.
Since their lives were so intertwined, she might as well lend fate a helping hand.
Half an hour later, Alessia had drafted a divorce agreement and made her way to the Ritz Hotel.
She barely had time to knock before the door swung open, and she was pulled inside by a pair of eager hands.
In the dim light, she met Dominic's fiery gaze.
Alessia sensed something amiss and attempted to pull away, but he held her firmly.
"Trying to escape? You encouraged grandma to have someone bring me pie—wasn't that your plan?"Dominic's voice was laden with accusation.
Alessia's heart sank as she realized his misunderstanding. Before she could explain, Dominic's lips descended upon hers.
...
Early morning.
Alessia woke up, yesterday's memories flooding back.
Thinking of Dominic's misunderstanding, she felt somewhat helpless.
She had come to discuss divorce, but now things had turned out like this.
Alessia glanced at the man still sleeping, her eyes slightly narrowed, her lips tightly pursed. His usually sharp facial features seemed softened.
Decision made, Alessia got up, put down the divorce agreement, paused, rummaged through her pockets, and finally pulled out a coin.
She pressed the coin onto the divorce agreement and added a note: "You're welcome!"
The next day.
Carter's Group, CEO's Office.
An assistant handed a document to Dominic. "Sir, this was found in the hotel suite."
A divorce agreement?
Dominic took it, his gaze darkening. He didn't believe Alessia would be willing to divorce.
Wasn't this what she wanted? Monthly allowances in the millions, quarterly luxury items, and clothes?
It was just a game of cat and mouse, and she'd probably come back in a few days.
At that moment, the assistant spoke again, "Old Madam called, saying Mrs. Carter left this morning, wearing clothes from three years ago when she first came to the Carter family. She didn't take her bank card or phone."
"..."
"I checked the bank card's transactions, and the money inside hasn't been touched."
How could this be?!
Dominic fell silent, his deep gaze changing.
Seeing Dominic's expression, the assistant plucked up the courage and handed over the note and coin. "There's also these, left by Mrs. Carter."
Leaving things for him?
It was just a pretense.
Dominic sneered, but when he saw the elegant handwriting on the note, a coldness appeared on his face.
"Alessia La Rosa!"
What did she take him for?
One cent?!
Was he only worth one cent?
"Find her! Even if you have to turn the entire city upside down, find her!" Dominic clenched the coin, his face dark.
...
In a rental house in Toronto.
Alessia was applying a facial mask when Sam handed her some daily necessities. She carefully closed the door before taking off the mask and throwing it in the trash.
She was seven months pregnant.
After leaving the Carter family, she had intended to look for her grandfather.
She didn't expect Dominic to be searching for her all over the city, and there was even another group of people looking for her.
Only now did Alessia realize the meaning behind her grandfather's instructions not to leave the Carter family.
For the sake of her child, she could only temporarily hide in this rental house. Luckily, she found someone named Sam who helped her with daily necessities.
Alessia lowered her gaze, looking at her swollen belly, her eyes softened instantly.
She would protect her child and make sure Dominic didn't find out about her pregnancy and take the child away.
That day.
A knock sounded on the door.
Alessia applied the face mask as usual and opened the door.
But as soon as she took the bag, she caught sight of something shiny in the other person's sleeve.
He wasn't Sam!
Alessia acted decisively, throwing the things in her hand at the person and grabbing a wooden stick she had prepared by the door, striking out.
In the pouring rain, Alessia fled the rental house.
At that moment, a sudden pain shot through her abdomen. She was going into labor!
...
Five years later.
Toronto Pearson International Airport.
A little girl in a pink princess dress, as cute as a doll, sat on a suitcase, pushed out by another little girl in the same princess dress.
Alessia followed behind, revealing a porcelain-smooth face.
She wore a simple white shirt, jeans, and tied her hair into a neat ponytail. With delicate and beautiful features, she exuded a cold temperament.
Alessia narrowed her eyes, looking at the city she had been away from for so long.
Five years had passed, and she had finally returned.
"Mommy, is this the city where you were born and raised? It's so beautiful, just like you! Even the air smells sweet!" Eleanor blinked her clear eyes, full of curiosity about everything around her. Her features were eight points similar to Alessia's, especially her eyes.
"Yeah!" Alessia replied, opening her phone to contact the car that was coming to pick them up.
"Mommy, where are we going now? Are we going to find Daddy?" Eleanor tilted her head, continuing to ask curiously.
"No, your daddy went to outer space to fight monsters and won't be back for a hundred years!" Alessia casually replied.
Before Eleanor could express her opinion, Chris, who was pushing the suitcase, sighed helplessly, "Mommy, we're five years old now, not three!"
The implication was that this lie needed to be upgraded.
Alessia was speechless.
Sometimes, it wasn't a good thing for children to be too smart!
“Oh Mommy, one lie leads to countless more lies. Even if Daddy is a bit shorter, a bit fatter, a bit uglier, and not presentable enough, his existence can't be erased!” Christian continued lecturing like a little adult, opening his small arms and considerately picking up Eleanor from the suitcase.
On the other side, Chris's remarks successfully caught Dominic's attention.
Dominic emerged from the VIP channel and heard Christian's voice.
Indeed, girls were livelier. Unlike Christopher, who might not say three words in a day.
He looked towards the voice, only seeing the back of the little girl, unable to see her face, but he saw another little girl wearing the same princess dress as her.
The girl's face was cute and lovely, especially her big blue eyes, which sparkled and were exceptionally lively.
They must be identical twins, both equally adorable.
Dominic thought, his gaze falling on the mother of the little girls.
She was an excessively beautiful woman!
Alessia seemed to feel someone staring at her, looked up, and met a pair of deep and familiar eyes.
It was him!
Dominic Carter!
What a small world.
Alessia felt a moment of guilt, but soon recovered.
She had lost weight long ago, and Dominic wouldn't recognize her at all.
Back then, she gave birth prematurely in a storm and managed to get to the hospital and gave birth to three children at the risk of her life.
But those people were not planning to let her go!
She tried her best, but in the end, she lost her firstborn.
After that, she was depressed for a long time and lost a lot of weight. To ensure the safety of her remaining two children and avoid those people, she had to leave temporarily.
But after five years, she still couldn't let go of her firstborn.
So, she resolutely decided to return to the country.
Her thoughts gathered, and Alessia stared fiercely.
Then, as if suddenly realizing something, she hugged Christian tightly.
She couldn't let Dominic see Christian's face. After all, Christian's face was like a miniature version of Dominic!

When Alessia heard Victor's words, she became a little anxious.She didn't want to see either Enzo or Dominic get hurt.Alessia left the room, and Victor wiped his mouth, proudly sighing. "Raising such an outstanding granddaughter is troublesome, always attracting trouble."When Alessia arrived at the mountaintop, she saw two equally damaged sports cars parked to the side.The two owners of the cars were hanging on the slope, climbing up while fighting and pulling each other back."What are you doing?" she called out to the two men risking their lives in this senseless fight."Sia.""Sia."Both of them, upon seeing Alessia, reached out their hands, hoping she would help them.Alessia thought for a moment and then extended both hands to pull them up."You two, use some strength and climb up first."Both men were dissatisfied with Alessia's decision to help them both simultaneously.Just moments before, they had been fighting each other fiercely. Now, they exchanged a glance and formed a
Listening to Victor's complaints, Alessia unscrewed the bottle and smelled the liquid inside.She noticed that when she took the bottle, Enzo's gaze fell on her, looking particularly nervous.She looked at him.Enzo stared into her eyes, urging, "Sia, after drinking it, you'll regain your memory."Alessia had an intuition that Enzo wasn't lying. She looked back at Victor.The old naughty boy had already sat down on the sofa, leisurely crossing his legs, not even giving her a glance.With her strong clinical experience in medicine, Alessia knew that the liquid was not poisonous.Lost memories were lost, but when it came to Elle's prenatal toxicity, no matter what reaction she would have after drinking it, she had to give it a try.Alessia closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and drank the entire bottle of liquid.
At this moment, the captain of the security team handed him a phone."Mr. Carter, take a look at this phone. Our team found it at the gate of the community during the morning patrol. It's turned off, and we can't find any information on it!"Dominic took it and almost recognized it at a glance. It was Alessia's phone.Alessia's phone was left at the gate of the community, but there was no information about Alessia in the surveillance.This proves that Alessia must have had an accident, and it was premeditated.Less than 24 hours since her disappearance, with only one phone, it couldn't prove that Alessia was really in trouble, so he couldn't call the police yet. Dominic could only arrange for the Carter family's forces to search for Alessia on a large scale.At this time, there was no need to be polite to Gordon.He also called Gordon.
Bar.Alessia drank half a cup of wine in one gulp. When she wanted to continue drinking, her glass was snatched away.Half-supporting her chin, Alessia looked at Dominic with drunken eyes."Give me back my wine. I'm happy, and I still want to drink. Dominic, be happy for me too. I not only have a dad now but also a mom."Dominic looked at Alessia, who pretended to be happy despite feeling sad inside, with a heart full of tenderness.He picked up her glass and drank the remaining half in one gulp.Turning back, his gaze was focused and gentle."Sia, of course, I'm happy for you. Actually, you can't blame Uncle Laroux for this. If I were him, I wouldn't have any favorable feelings towards any child other than the one I had with you. Of course, I would never let myself reach the level Uncle Laroux has.""Really?" Alessia
With an anxious heart, he rushed back to the hospital. When he reached the door of the operating room, he saw Dominic, Christian, Eleanor, and Christopher standing outside.Why was Dominic's family here?Gordon was stunned. At this moment, the hospital director personally handed him the consent form for the surgery."Mr. Laroux, Dr. Athena has agreed to perform the surgery on Mrs. Laroux herself. She contacted me the morning before yesterday, and I have already conducted all the necessary pre-operative examinations on Mrs. Laroux. There is no problem with Mrs. Laroux's physical condition for the surgery. You just need to sign."Alessia had already agreed.What was going on during these past few days when she chased Alessia every day for Evelyn's surgery?Was she just teasing him?Was she treating him like a fool?Gord
"Of course not." Gordon answered without hesitation, "If it were me and Evelyn's daughter, she would be the kindest child in the world."Unexpectedly, Gordon was so hypocritical.Alessia felt a bit complicated when she suddenly had that thought. She didn't know whether she should be moved or continue to hate."You can go back now, I don't need anything," Alessia said."How could you not want anything?" Gordon didn't believe it. "I told you, I'm asking for your help. You can make requests. You must have met Ava, right? If it's because of what Ava said, I can tell you now that I agree to marry her."Gordon clearly loved Evelyn so much, yet he agreed to marry Ava?Alessia looked at Gordon with a gaze like he was insane, and seeing Gordon's seriousness and pain, it didn't seem like he was pretending.She suddenly understood that when love went deep, it was
"Nonsense, I'm not doing this for Evelyn," Harrison retorted.True, driven by self-interest, he wanted to make a comeback with the help of the Laroux family. But deep down, he also resented the Laroux family, especially Alessia.So, watching the Laroux family suffer, he had no reason to help them. At most, he wouldn't kick them while they were down, just to ensure the fire didn't spread back to him."Not doing it is enough. Brother, forget about this matter. I won't ask for your help anymore. Whether I'm good or bad has nothing to do with you. Just don't send me to the hospital," Ava sighed in relief, revealing her soft side again, her emotions fluctuating.Saying she wasn't sick, some people found it hard to believe."No way," Harrison refused adamantly. "You must go to the hospital."If Ava ran wild outside for a day, she would become the fire that would in
It was the first time Harrison had ever lost his temper with her, and Ava was momentarily stunned, rendered speechless by the sudden attack.She did indeed want to coax some truth out of Harrison regarding what had happened to Alessia during the days she was detained. But Ava had long forgotten what shame was, and after a few seconds of silence, she began to cry in grievance."Brother, how can you resent me like this? I wanted to marry Gordon to help our family, what happened to Nolan was an accident, and what almost happened to Jessie was also an accident. I didn't want any of this."Seeing the tears on Ava's face, Harrison's anger subsided slightly, replaced by the familiar pain when facing Ava.Taking advantage of the moment, Ava continued, knowing that if she didn't tell some truth now, Harrison would never trust her again. So with a teary voice, she continued, "I'm not lying this time. Believe m
On the other side,It was already nine o'clock, there were no stars in the sky nor was it raining.Outside the police station, Gordon looked inside, waiting.About ten minutes passed, and Ava, still wearing the clothes she had worn in the hospital a few days ago, walked out from somewhere.The two of them exchanged a silent glance.Ava stopped and looked at Gordon for several seconds before sneering and walking up to him. "Gordon, you hated me so much, why did you bail me out?"Gordon's face darkened, “Ava, I hate you. You pushed things too far, and no one else is to blame. Look at what you've done to the Ramirez family.”“It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, how could my daughter have died? If it weren't for revenge against you, the Ramirez family wouldn't have come to this."At this point, Ava lost contro
