No dia do julgamento, meu noivo, Tiago Assis, me pediu para não insistir mais na defesa da minha inocência e me pediu para assinar o acordo de confissão. — Eu sei que você é inocente, mas a Barbara está grávida de um filho meu. Eu não posso deixá-la ir para a cadeia. — Ele segurou minha mão, com lágrimas nos olhos. — Mari, eu também estou fazendo isso pelo seu próprio bem. Sem hesitar, assinei o acordo de confissão. Na vida passada, eu não aceitei assumir o crime no lugar da Barbara Lins. Como resultado, não só fui para a cadeia do mesmo jeito, como também fui torturada por ordem de Tiago até ficar estéril para o resto da vida. Agora que voltei no tempo, escolhi satisfazer o desejo dele. No dia seguinte, as notícias sobre meu suposto roubo de informações confidenciais se espalharam por todos os lugares. Barbara chegou a se apresentar como testemunha: — Sim, foi ela! Eu vi ela invadindo o Grupo Lopes com meus próprios olhos! Mas, à tarde, na audiência, o denunciante, Ricardo Lopes, retirou o processo e desistiu da ação. Sob os olhares surpresos de todos, ele tirou um anel de diamante e se ajoelhou diante de mim. — Mari, você aceita se casar comigo?

When James Chapman and I first got together, I was a regular student while he was one of the most popular guys in school. Five years down the road, I'm still a regular woman. James' attitude toward me has changed drastically, though. He frequently complains about my appearance. I know it's because his true love is back in the country. He misses our fifth anniversary because of her. His true love makes fun of me for being ugly to his face, so he orders me to get cosmetic surgery at her newly opened clinic. He wants me to use my fanbase to make her business boom. "You're so ugly that you'd be the perfect person to prove Barbara's skills… if she can actually make you look better, that is. We're all friends, aren't we? What's wrong with lending her a hand? Stop being so petty!" Barbara Simpson kills me—I die on the operating table in her inhumane clinic. James thinks I go missing because I'm just throwing a tantrum, but he realizes he's wrong when he finds my mangled body in the basement. The diamond ring he put on my finger is still there, too.
