I accidentally stumbled upon numerous explicit videos on my husband's computer while tidying up his desk. The videos showed him in bed with my unmarried best friend. The relationship between my husband and me had been platonic ever since I gave birth 40 years ago. His reason was that he was no longer capable of physical intimacy. Now, it felt like my entire life had been a sham, despite all my efforts for my family.

The hotel called, politely reminding me that the condoms used last night were unpaid and had been charged to my membership card. I was stunned. I'd been working late until midnight and hadn't set foot in any hotel. I confronted my husband, the only person who knew my card code. Nathan Phelps looked at me, bewildered. "Honey, that hotel costs over $10,000 a night. I'd never go there. It's probably a system error. Someone must have mistyped the card number. I'll file a complaint tomorrow." Unconvinced, I called my best friend, who managed the hotel. "Tracy, check who Nathan was with at the hotel last night. I'm catching him red-handed."

But one day, I accidentally overheard him talking to his friend. “Lillie is already set to become the future lady of the Gacira family.

As long as I’m with Nelly, Lillie can live peacefully.” He even gave Lillie the symbol of the Becker family’s lady. He helped Lillie build her career while letting me fade into the background. After five years of marriage, I finally understood. On our fifth anniversary, I pretended to die in a shooting so he could be with the woman he truly loved. But instead of being happy, Lloyd completely broke down.

Después de la muerte de su amada, Leandro Fuentes me odió durante diez años. Intenté acercarme a él de todas las formas posibles, pero él solo me lanzaba una sonrisa helada. —Si de verdad quieres agradarme... mejor muérete. Aquella frase me atravesó el pecho como una daga. Pero el día que un camión se lanzó contra mí, fue él quien dio su vida para salvarme, muriendo en un charco de sangre. Antes de cerrar los ojos para siempre, me miró profundamente y dijo, con voz entrecortada: —Si tan solo... nunca te hubiera conocido. En el funeral, la madre de Leandro, doña Eugenia, se aferraba a su retrato mientras las lágrimas le nublaban la vista. —¡Yo debí dejarlo estar con Clarisa! ¡Nunca debí forzarlo a casarse contigo! Su padre, don Ernesto, me fulminó con la mirada, y, con la voz cargada de rabia, añadió: —¡Leandro te salvó tres veces! ¡Era un hombre excepcional! ¡¿Por qué no moriste tú en su lugar?! Todos, absolutamente todos, lamentaban que él se hubiera casado conmigo. Incluso yo. Me echaron del funeral como si fuera una ladrona de paz. Sin rumbo, como un alma errante, caminé sin saber a dónde ir. Tres años después, un avance científico rompió las barreras del tiempo: se creó una máquina capaz de llevarnos al pasado. Y yo... yo volví. Esta vez, decidida a no volver a cruzarme con Leandro, a dejar que él y Clarisa estén juntos. Esta vez, haré feliz a todos... aunque eso signifique desaparecer de sus vidas.

Connor Greene, a golden boy in Brookhaven, is unwittingly drugged, and I end up being the cure for his "predicament". It's exactly a month later when I discover that I'm pregnant during a routine medical examination. Upon learning the news, Connor offers me 50 million dollars to carry the baby to term, and then another ten million dollars to take full custody of the child. It's then that Julie Sutton, my so-called righteous friend, persuades me to terminate the pregnancy, saying, "You ought to know that money isn't everything, Queenie. If you throw away your dignity for just 60 million dollars, then you're no better than those women who entertain men in clubs!" In my past life, I had an abortion at Julie's suggestion and pursued legal action against Connor, accusing him of assault. I later sought financial assistance and support from Julie after my parents fell gravely ill, but Julie slapped me hard across the face instead. "Your parents are seriously ill, and instead of figuring things out on your own, you come running to me, huh? You're truly shameless, Queenie!" Julie broke off our friendship right then, and I also lost the lawsuit against Connor. I couldn't afford the treatment, so my parents' lives were cut short by their illnesses. In the end, the grief of losing them was too much, so I decided to take my own life by jumping off a rooftop. When I open my eyes, I find myself returning to the day Julie tried to persuade me to get an abortion.
