Daniela Dimitrescu

I was ten years old when I lost my hearing saving Adrian Falcone's life. After that, I couldn't survive without my hearing aids. He held my hand afterward, his eyes red-rimmed with guilt, and made me a promise in front of his entire family. "Serena Lombardi, I'll protect you with my life," he said. "I'll marry you." But when I turned eighteen, everything changed. Adrian needed to pass some test set by Daniela Moretti—the daughter of a rival family—and he chose the cruelest way to prove himself. He ripped the hearing aids from my ears in front of everyone and laughed. "You're just a deaf, useless burden," he said, his voice cold and cutting. "I've been sick of you for years. Honestly? I wish you'd died in that explosion when we were ten and saved me the trouble." I gripped the rehabilitation report the doctor had just handed me, and my fingers crushed the paper's edges. The diagnosis was precise—my hearing had fully recovered. That night, I burned my hearing aids and convinced my parents to cut all ties with the Falcone family. Adrian Falcone, we're done. Whatever we had, whatever you owed me—it's over now.

Blurb. " You kept my son from me for five years?" Alexander's voice cracked with disbelief , anger radiating off him as he towered over Daniela.She squared her shoulders, though her hands trembled. " I didnt think it mattered back then. I was nothing to you Alexander . Just a distraction- a side chick you could forget the moment I walked out of your life". " That's not fair !" He snapped , his jaw tightening . " You knew what my life was like. I didnt...." " You didnt think about me did you?" She interrupted her voice rising. " After that one night, you moved on as if nothing happened. But i was left with something i couldn't ignore- our son". Alexander froze his piercing gaze searching hers . " You could have come back. You could have told me" . " I tried!" Daniela shot back her voice breaking. " But when i saw you again, you were with her - the perfect fiancee , the love of your life. I realised I'd just be a complication in your already perfect world ". " You don't get to make that choice for me,"he said, his voice low and trembling with restrained fury. " I deserve to know . Noah deseves to know who is father was". Tears welled up in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. " Maybe I was wrong , but i didn't want my child growing up feeling unwanted ... like i was nothing more than a mistake to you ".

Dahil sa matinding sakit at kahihiyan na inabot ni Daniela sa hindi pagsipot sa araw ng kasal nila ng groom niyang si Drewner Ramsel, ang batam-batang CEO ng Ramsel Business Conglomerate ay kaagad siyang nagtungo sa ibang bansa. Doon niya ipinanganak ang mga naging bunga ng minsan nilang pagtatalik ng binata. Ngunit sa unang kaarawan ng kanilang kambal ay kinidnap siya kasama ang isa sa kambal. Tinangka siyang patayin ngunit nakaligtas siya, iyon nga lang ay nasunog ang kalahati ng kanyang mukha. Magmula noon ay hindi na niya nakita pang muli ang isa niyang anak hanggang sa bumalik siya sa bansa ngunit sa ibang mukha at katauhan. Natuklasan niya na ang nag-iisang anak ni Drewner ay kamukhang-kamukha ng kanyang nawawalang anak kaya nagduda siyang ito ang may pakana sa pagdukot at pagtangkang pagpatay sa kanya. Ipinangako niya sa sarili na babawiin niya ang kanyang anak sa kahit anong paraan at papapagbayarin niya ang lalaki sa ginawa nito sa kanya. Ngunit paano kung malaman niya ang totoong dahilan kung bakit hindi siya sinipot nito sa araw ng kasal nila noon at kung sino ang totoong may pakana sa mga nangyari sa kanya? May pag-asa pa bang madugtungan ang naudlot nilang kahapon lalo pa't may dalawang anak na sila at kambal pa?

When war broke out in Irestan, my fiancé, Everett Jones, caused a scene at the airport and refused to let the evacuation flight take off. He was determined to wait for his precious first love, Annie Scott, who had taken advantage of the chaos to loot a cosmetics counter for luxury goods. By then, the insurgent forces were already closing in. The shriek of explosions grew louder, drawing nearer by the second. With an entire plane full of people in mortal danger, I had no choice. I knocked Everett unconscious and dragged him aboard. After we returned home, far from the battlefield, we lived a period of quiet, comfortable happiness. I truly believed he had finally put that woman behind him. I was wrong. On our wedding day, he tied me up, drove me away, and deliberately crashed the car, killing me. As my life slipped away, I heard his twisted laughter. "Daniela, you're the one who killed my Annie. Because of you, she was killed by an insurgent missile. "She was just a young girl who liked to look pretty. What was so wrong with that? "This is what you owe her. I'm going to make you suffer far more than she ever did." When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the boarding gate, at the exact moment he blocked the plane. This time, I chose to grant his wish and let him stay behind with his beloved first love, together, forever.
