Der abscheuliche Verlobte hat mich mit meiner süß-verschlagenen Schwester betrogen, Susanne hat sich umgedreht und einen männlichen Bar-Publizisten zum Heiraten gefunden. Der Gesichtswert des Blitz-Ehemannes ist erstklassig, und sogar mit ihrem Erzfeind Schmidt haben Herr Schmidt einen Nachnamen ...... Susanne sagte, das müsse ein Zufall sein! Aber jedes Mal, wenn Herr Schmidt auftauchte, tauchte die Figur des Blitz-Ehemannes auf, woraufhin der Blitz-Ehemann erklärte: „Das muss ein Zufall sein!“ Susanne glaubte es, bis sie eines Tages das gleiche hübsche Gesicht von Herr Schmidt und dem Blitz-Ehemann sah. Susanne ballte die Fäuste, biss die Zähne zusammen: „Das ist ein Zufall?!!!“ Im Internet kursierte das Gerücht, dass das Schmidt-Kraftpaket, Herr Schmidt, sich in eine verheiratete Frau verliebt hatte. Der Schmidt-Klan widerlegte das Gerücht sofort: „Gerücht! Es ist definitiv ein Gerücht, die Familie Schmidt würde niemals eine Ehe zerstören!“ Doch dann traten Herr Schmidt mit einer Frau in Erscheinung: „Es ist kein Gerücht, meine Frau ist tatsächlich verheiratet!“

Nach dem Tod seiner ersten Liebe hasste Alexander Müller mich zehn Jahre lang. Ich versuchte überall, ihm zu gefallen, aber er lachte nur kalt: „Wenn du mich wirklich zufriedenstellen willst, dann stirb lieber.“ Mein Herz schmerzte, doch als der große Lkw auf mich zuraste, starb er in einer Blutlache, um mich zu retten. Vor seinem Tod blickte er mich tief an: „Wenn... ich dir nur niemals begegnet wäre.“ Bei der Beerdigung war Frau Müller untröstlich. „Damals hätte ich Alexander und Greta zusammenbringen sollen, anstatt ihn zu zwingen, dich zu heiraten!“ Herr Müller hasste mich: „Alexander hat dich drei Mal gerettet, so ein guter Mensch – warum bist du nicht gestorben!“ Alle bedauerten, dass Alexander mich geheiratet hatte, ich eingeschlossen. Völlig gebrochen wurde ich von der Beerdigung vertrieben. Drei Jahre später tauchte plötzlich eine Zeitmaschine auf, und ich kehrte in die Vergangenheit zurück. Dieses Mal beschloss ich, jede Verbindung zu Alexander abzubrechen und allen anderen zu ihrem Glück zu verhelfen.

Als ich im dritten Monat schwanger war, tauchte Ruby – die sogenannte Stiefschwester meines Mannes, des Dons – plötzlich vor meiner Tür auf. Ihr geschwollener Bauch war unübersehbar. „Donna, da mein Geburtstermin so kurz bevorsteht, finde ich, du sollst es wissen … der Erbe des Dons ist in meinem Bauch.“ Dann breitete sie alles vor mir aus – intime Fotos von ihr und Caleb, Nachweise über die wöchentlichen Überweisungen, die er ihr gemacht hatte, sogar die Eigentumsurkunde einer Villa. Die frühesten Daten reichten bis zu der Zeit zurück, in der ich unser erstes Baby verlor – als die Ärzte mir sagten, dass es für mich schwierig sein würde, erneut schwanger zu werden. All die Jahre hatte ich IVF-Behandlungen durchgestanden und verzweifelt versucht, noch einmal unser gemeinsames Kind auszutragen – während er mit seiner sogenannten Stiefschwester herummachte. Nun, wenn Caleb unbedingt eine andere Frau wollte, konnte er sie haben. Ich hatte ohnehin nicht vor zu bleiben. Ich hatte meinen Abschied längst geplant.
