Ergo Sum Meaning

El día que fuimos al registro civil a firmar, mi novio, el verdadero heredero —Rodrigo Aguiñaga—, fue sustituido en pleno trámite. La prometida de Rodrigo —la "princesa de la mafia"— se aferró a su brazo y me miró con una sonrisa triunfal, como si ya hubiera ganado. —Estafadora matrimonial y falso heredero, ¿no son la pareja perfecta? No le respondí. Solo clavé la mirada en Rodrigo. Cuando el clan mafioso por fin lo recibió de vuelta como el verdadero heredero, por querer casarse conmigo se aguantó el castigo del clan tres días y tres noches. Pero hoy, en cambio, asintió y se sumó al "chiste" sin el menor remordimiento. —Es una broma, no te vas a enojar, ¿verdad? Y luego lo dijo como si estuviera repartiendo migajas: —Es solo el trámite. Cuando a Vanessa se le pase, tú y Luis se divorcian y luego tú y yo firmamos en el registro civil. Yo sonreí. Me di la vuelta y caminé directo hacia el falso heredero —Luis Aguiñaga—, lo miré de frente y solté, con una calma que hasta a mí me sorprendió: —Ya estamos casados por el civil, amor, así que toca planear bien nuestra boda.

"I'll purge this household from evil! I'll unearth every single crime they've committed. And I will not stop until I drag every single one of them down to hell with me." ~~ Clearing the debts her late father left behind was all Juniper Laurent's life had revolved around until her half-sister, the true heiress of the renowned Bellerose Frangrance offered her a huge sum to be her surrogate. Desperate to escape the oppressive hounding of loan sharks and finally treating herself to a dream vacation, Juniper readily accepted the offer. But, her life took a drastic turn when the tragic death of her sister shook the nation. Juniper—burdened with a newfound responsibility to raise a child she never bargained for—decided to walk into the Bellerose family, birth their grandchild, and let them handle the rest, but fate seemed not done with her yet as her ex-boyfriend, Cedric came back into the picture. Falling in love again was never part of the plan, especially not with a man who was the epitome of bad news, but her naive heart wouldn't just cooperate. She realized only too late that every decision she'd made from the get-go was steering her down a path of destruction. From falling for the man who had returned only to betray her in the most hurtful way imaginable to trusting the seemingly perfect family that harbored dark secrets, deceit, and crimes they would murder to protect. Now, Juniper is back, forged into a woman of valor, determined to vanquish the evil that has consumed the Bellerose Empire and all those who have wronged her. And she will not stop until she brings justice to all the people they've hurt. Because sweet revenge is best served with a side of drama and a dazzling display of fireworks!
