Poppy Brooks wanted nothing but the best for Kelly Brooks, her five-year-old baby girl.  She had already forgotten almost everything about Nolan, her divorced husband after being an asshole when she got pregnant to Kelly. However, Poppy's peaceful life was ruined when her ex-husband started asking for a second chance. Another source of Poppy's headache?

Pain. In. The. Butt.

While they slice me apart, I desperately call my brother, Nathan Slade. He finally picks up as my consciousness starts to slip and answers in an annoyed voice, "What now?" "Nathan, help—" I don't get to finish before he cuts me off. "Can't you ever go a day without drama? Gemma's graduation is at the end of the month. Miss it, and I swear I'll kill you!" Then, he hangs up without a second thought. The agonizing pain swallows me whole, and my eyes close for good, tears still trailing down my cheeks. Well, good news, Nathan… You won't have to kill me because I'm already dead.

Rhea Ravelle, heiress of a powerful and influential family, goes against her family's wishes and cuts ties with them. She chooses to marry Carter Jamison, a man with a failing career and two children born out of wedlock. For six years, she raises his children as if they were her own and helps Carter rebuild his crumbling business. Under her care, the kids grow into kind, well-mannered little stars, and Carter's company finally makes it big and goes public. But right at the celebration marking his entry into high society, the biological mother of his two children suddenly shows up. And Carter, who is usually so calm, completely loses it. He begs the woman to stay, making Rhea the laughingstock of the entire city. That night, he doesn't come home. Instead, he takes the children and runs straight back to his old flame, playing house as a happy family. Soon after, Carter files for divorce. "Thanks for everything, Rhea. But the kids need their birth mother." The children's mother also says, "Thank you for taking care of them all these years. But a stepmother will never compare to a birth mother." So blood beats love? If that's how it is, then she's done playing stepmother. However, the children reject their birth mother flat-out, and they don't want Carter either. They declare, "Rhea is our only mom! If you're getting divorced, then we're going wherever she goes!"

The heart that I had waited two years for was given to the fake heiress, Diane Bishop, by my husband. The doctor said that I only had a week left to live. So, I decided to undergo cryonics. I donated my body to Diane’s workshop. The day I signed the donation papers, my son threw himself into my arms and exclaimed that I had finally made up with Diane. My parents praised me for finally being a good sister to help out Diane. My husband was pleased when he said that I had finally let go of the grudge and had become more understanding. I chuckled. They were right, I had finally learned my lesson. I would give Diane my identity as the heir of Bishop Corporation and fulfill everyone’s wishes.

With the help and support from them, she did her best to live a normal life.

It's often said "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it was meant to be." When you lose someone, sometimes they will find their way back to you. They'll find their way back into your life because maybe they have something else to teach you. Maybe they'll come back into your life at a time where they felt you need them the most. When they do, though, you will both no longer be the same people you once were. You won't understand each other in the same way. But, if they do find their way back, allow yourself to understand how beautiful your new bond with them could be and the new memories that can be made.

Einst dachte Marie Weber, dass es das größte Glück ihres Lebens wäre, mit Felix Schneider von der Schulzeit an zusammen zu sein und ihn irgendwann zu heiraten. Doch als Felix sie betrog, wurde ihr klar, dass es selten die ewige Liebe gibt. Es gibt keine Garantien für „bis ans Lebensende“, sondern oft nur bittersüße Erinnerungen und ein Ende, das niemand kommen sah. Nach der Scheidung schwor sie sich, ihr Herz nie wieder jemandem anzuvertrauen. Aber Lukas Schneider, Felix’ Onkel, trat mit Nachdruck in ihr Leben und ließ ihr keine Möglichkeit, ihm zu entkommen. Sie versuchte verzweifelt, sich aus allem, was mit der Familie Schneider zu tun hatte, herauszuhalten. Doch Lukas ließ nicht locker und setzte alles daran, sie an sich zu binden. „Lukas, du bist der Onkel meines Ex-Mannes. Das geht einfach nicht.“ Lukas grinste und hob ihr Kinn leicht an, sodass sie ihm direkt in die Augen sehen musste. „Du bist doch schon lange nicht mehr mit Felix zusammen. Bin ich da wirklich noch sein Onkel für dich?“ „Und außerdem – woher willst du wissen, dass wir nicht zusammenpassen, wenn du es noch nie ausprobiert hast?“ Marie: „Ich habe es ausprobiert.“ Lukas: „Dann probiere es halt nochmal – bis es passt.“ Marie: „…“
