Zoe Colette Serpant o mas kilala sa tawag na Colette. Si Colette ay bunso sa tatlong magkakapatid. Isa siya sa tagapagmana ng ZC Group. Ang kompanya nila Colette ang pangalawa sa nangungunang kompanya sa Pilipinas. They handles thousands company of mall and hospital. Hindi mapagkakailang may gintong kutsara sa bibig itong si Colette, pero kahit na ganun hindi umaasa si Colette sa yaman ng kanyang mga magulang. Bagkus nagtatrabaho pa nga ito sa restaurant ng kanyang kaibigan na si Maisha. Hindi interesado si Colette sa yaman nila sapagkat hindi naman siya ang naghirap nito. Gaya nang ibang babae simple lang ang buhay na meron ito. Nagtatrabaho siya, nagpaparty at nagmamahal din, Gano’n lang ang cycle ng buhay niya, pero nagbago ang lahat ng mamatay ang mga magulang nila. Dahil sa pagkawala ng mga magulang nila, unti-unti nang nalulugi ang kompanyang naiwan sa kanila. Ang ZC Group na lang ang natitirang alaala nang namayapa nilang magulang kaya walang nagawa ang panganay nilang kapatid na si Haley kundi ipagkasundo ang bunsong kapatid sa anak ng Wood Group na si Atlas para ma-survive ang kompanya nang kanilang magulang. Ang Wood Group ang una sa pinakamayaman na kompanya ngayon sa Pilipinas. They handles multimillion of company. Si Atlas Wood ang nagiisang tagapagmana nang Wood Group, kahit hindi pa siya nagiging CEO ng kompanya nila. Kilala na ito sa pagiging malupit, masungit at babaero. Sex lang kasi ang habol niya sa mga babaeng nakaka-date niya. He was deeply in love and obsessed in her ex girlfriend to the point that he never forget her. Kahit na hindi siya ang pinili nito sa halip ay pinili ang kanyang matalik na kaibigan. Sa kabilang banda dahil sa nalaman ni Colette palihim itong lumipad ng amerika at doon nagtago ng ilang taon.

I was born with a rare condition. My blood carried healing properties strong enough to neutralize any poison. When Garrett Frank, the young heir from Osbury, was bitten by a venomous snake, he was hanging by a thread. In that desperate moment, I slit my wrist and used my blood to cleanse the venom from his body. Only later did I find out that whoever saved Garrett's life would become the future Mrs. Frank. But after Garrett took over the family business, the first thing he did was drain every drop of blood from my body and have me chopped up and fed to his dogs. "At that time, Loretta had already brought the antidote," he had said coldly. "If you had just waited another five minutes, I could've married her openly and honorably. "But you had to interfere. You stole her place as Mrs. Frank, drove her into despair, and pushed her to take her own life. Since you claim your blood can cure any poison, let's see how much antidote it can make." They bled me dry and threw me into a cage for his dogs. I died there, torn apart and unrecognizable. Afterward, my parents went bankrupt because of the Franks. Both of them took poison and died together. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the very day Garrett had been bitten by the snake. Michelle Frank, Garrett's mother, looked at me with desperate hope. "I heard you have that rare healing blood," she said. "Will you please save my son?" I quickly shook my head. "That's just a rumor, Mrs. Frank. And honestly, using blood as medicine sounds pretty unsanitary. Please don't worry. I heard Ms. Huber is on her way with a special antidote. Your son will be fine!" Still, a small part of me couldn't help looking forward to what would happen. If I didn't step in this time, Garrett wouldn't just fail to inherit the family business—he'd be lucky to live another month!

Estaba a punto de dar a luz cuando Liana, la ex de mi esposo, llegó a nuestra casa con la excusa de que solo se quedaría unos días. Cada vez que me veía, se llevaba la mano al pecho, como si el solo hecho de verme embarazada la hiciera sufrir. Bruno, mi esposo, estaba convencido de que yo estaba provocándola a propósito, solo por tener la barriga enorme. —Lia no se siente bien, no puede tener hijos. ¡Y tú sigues paseándote así, como si nada! ¡Se nota que necesitas una lección para que aprendas! Dicho esto, mandó que me encerraran en el viejo ático que llevaba años sin usarse, y ordenó que nadie me subiera comida. Lloré y le rogué que me dejara salir. Le expliqué que la última ecografía mostraba que los gemelos eran enormes, que el doctor había dicho que debía ir al hospital de inmediato. Pero, para él, eso fue como si le contara un chiste sin gracia. —Todavía faltan tres días. No me vengas con cuentos —me respondió sin una sola gota de compasión—. ¡Ve al ático y ponte a pensar en lo que hiciste! ¡Pagarás por estar molestando a Lia! Las contracciones eran tan brutales que, arañando la madera podrida, acabé arrancándome las uñas. Gritaba tan fuerte que me dolía la garganta, pero nadie acudió en mi auxilio. La sangre me cubría el cuerpo y empapaba todo el suelo. Uno de los bebés ya había salido, pero el otro se quedó atrapado en mi vientre, atorado en un baño de sangre. Tres días después, Bruno estaba sentado, tomando sopa y, como si nada, dijo: —Que Michelle me sirva más sopa y le pida perdón a Lia. Si lo hace, la llevaremos al hospital para que tenga a los niños. Nadie dijo nada. Porque la sangre que bajaba desde el ático ya había llegado hasta el segundo escalón.
