Le jour du verdict, mon fiancé Alfred Fresnel m'a suppliée de renoncer à plaider non coupable et d'accepter l'aveu de culpabilité. « Je sais que tu es innocente, mais elle porte mon enfant. Je peux pas la laisser croupir en prison », il a serré mes mains en sanglotant, « Ségolène, c'est aussi pour ton bien. » J'ai signé alors l'aveu sans hésiter. Dans ma vie antérieure, j'avais obstinément refusé d'endosser le crime à la place de Romaine Jégou. Résultat : non seulement j'avais écopé de prison, mais Alfred, fou de rage, m'y avait fait torturer jusqu'à la stérilité permanente. Cette fois-ci, j'ai choisi de lui donner satisfaction. Le lendemain, les médias ont déversé des nouvelles sur mon « vol de secrets commerciaux ». La vraie coupable, Romaine, a joué même le témoin oculaire : « C'est bien elle ! Je l'ai vue s'introduire en catimini dans le groupe Thiers ! » Mais l'après-midi même, à l'audience, le plaignant Isaac Thiers a retiré plainte. Sous les regards médusés de l'assistance, il a sorti même une bague de fiançailles et a mis un genou à terre : « Ségolène, cette fois-ci, veux-tu m'épouser ? »

Wealth. Power. Freedom. Arcelli Giselle "Silver" Cregencia has everything anyone could ever dream of. From businesswoman to model to actress, she excelled. But there's someone she also wanted to get. That is Hadeon Vittori— billionaire. She has no romantic or sexual interest in him. She wanted him because she heard he was popular with supermodels and actresses, including Allison Klare Beltran, who had previously stolen her ex-boyfriend. The presence of Hadeon by her side causes people to weep and be jealous of her. She claimed that they are already engaged, despite not even knowing each other personally, so that someone would reveal their relationship to the public, and then she will dump him after that. That is it. However, Hadeon didn't deny her claim. Instead, he asked her to act not only as his fiancee but his wife to hide his relationship with her lover, Dr. Lindsay Almojera, from his parent, who strongly disapproves of their relationship. As the actress who started the game, will she continue to play along with it?

Lors du tremblement de terre, mon mari, Milo Alarie, capitaine de l'équipe de secours, m'a laissée derrière pour sauver son premier amour, Christine Bassot. Je ne l'ai pas empêché et l'ai laissé partir, car, dans une vie antérieure, face à la même situation, il avait choisi de sauver d'abord moi, enceinte de huit mois. Et Christine, en raison de l'intervention tardive, avait été ensevelie sous les décombres à la suite des répliques, mourant asphyxiée. Plus tard, le jour de mon accouchement, Milo m'avait emmenée devant sa tombe. Il m'avait regardée tomber à terre à cause de la douleur intense, ignorant mes supplications incessantes. « Jennifer, ça fait mal, n'est-ce pas ? Mais, tu sais, ce jour-là, Christine souffrait mille fois plus que toi sous les décombres ! » Je le regardais, incrédule, et il m'avait dit, impitoyable : « Ce jour-là, tu étais dans une zone de sécurité ! Si tu n'avais pas utilisé ta grossesse comme excuse, Christine aurait-elle manqué l'opportunité de secours optimale ? Elle a souffert à cause de toi, et maintenant, je veux que tu ressentes sa douleur ! » Il m'avait forcée à me prosterner devant la photo de Christine, mes douleurs s'intensifiant alors que je saignais abondamment. Finalement, j'étais morte à cause de complications pendant l'accouchement et une hémorragie. Lorsque j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'ai découvert que j'étais retournée à ce jour fatidique ! Cette fois, ni mon enfant, ni moi, ne compterions sur lui !
