Helen X Evelyn

I'm the most important family he's got now." Bianca held her hand up to the vase as a cruel smirk twisted her lips. "You pale in comparison." **** Evelyn thought she was already living a blissful married life. Her husband, Adrian, was handsome and wealthy, and she was about to become a mother. But all of this was shattered by the arrival of her husband’s sister-in-law. Adrian, usually distant and indifferent to everyone else, showed an unusual level of care for Bianca, beyond the boundaries of family.

Determined to leave this broken household, Evelyn made up her mind to walk away. But Adrian behaved unlike himself. Desperate to win Evelyn back, he sought to make amends for the mistakes he had made.

No instante em que eu renasci, a primeira coisa que eu fiz foi espalhar as "cinzas" da minha melhor amiga, Helen Doyle. Na última vida, ela engravidou antes do casamento e foi abandonada tanto pelo namorado quanto pela própria família. Lutou sozinha até o fim da gestação e, depois de sofrer horrores durante o parto, teve uma hemorragia massiva na sala de cirurgia. Com o último fio de vida, ela me implorou que eu adotasse o filho dela. Eu aceitei por pena. Para criá-lo, eu me atrasei nos estudos e fui obrigada a abandonar a escola. Sem escolha, eu levava meu filho adotivo, Aidan Sutton, comigo para o trabalho, suportando humilhações e olhares frios por onde passava. Por fim, quando ele fez dezoito anos, um olheiro descobriu o talento dele. Depois de um filme, ele virou sensação da noite para o dia e ainda levou o prêmio de Melhor Ator. Na cerimônia, Helen, que eu tinha visto morrer dezoito anos antes, entrou de braços dados com meu ex-namorado, Joe Shepherd. Fiquei tão atônita que, quando recobrei os sentidos, já tinha avançado para confrontá-la. Helen só me encarou e sorriu. — Parabéns. Você passou no teste. Eu ainda estava em choque quando Joe explicou, cheio de orgulho: — Helen é a filha do homem mais rico. Vai saber se você não se aproximou dela por dinheiro, né? Ele continuou, como se estivesse me fazendo um favor gigantesco: — Já que você criou bem o nosso filho, pode ser uma amiga comum dela. Se você criar ele até ele casar e ter filhos, aí sim você pode virar a melhor amiga da Helen. Minha cabeça explodiu. Como se eu quisesse ser amiga dela! Aquilo tinha sido dezoito anos da minha vida! Consumida por raiva e dor, com os olhos injetados de sangue, eu avancei nos dois. Mas Aidan correu do palco naquele instante e me empurrou com força. — Como ousa machucar meus pais? A raiva subiu direto para minha cabeça, e eu apaguei ali mesmo. Quando abri os olhos de novo… eu estava de volta ao dia em que Helen entrou em trabalho de parto.
