Après trois ans de mariage, Ariane Lenoir a découvert que son certificat de mariage avec Bastien Sorel n'était qu'un faux. La véritable « Madame Sorel » n'est autre que sa meilleure amie, Noémie Vallon. Pendant trois ans, Bastien et toute sa famille l'avaient traitée comme une dupe. La raison ? Une terrible accident, celui-là même où elle avait failli perdre la vie pour sauver Bastien, l'avait privée à jamais de la possibilité d'enfanter. Et quand elle demandait pourquoi : Bastien : « Je t'aime. Je voulais juste un enfant. » Noémie : « Je ne veux pas vous séparer, je veux juste faire partie de votre vie à deux. » Ariane : « Vous êtes complètement malades ! » ... Ils voulaient jouer ce jeu pervers ? Parfait. Ariane allait désormais mener la partie. Ils lui avaient volé son avenir ? Elle a épousé l'héritier et est devenue leur cliente. Ils lui avait refusé un vrai mariage ? Sa nouvelle belle-famille lui a offert un cérémonie somptueuse à plusieurs centaines de millions. Ils la croyaient stérile, une femme incompétente ? Elle attendait désormais des jumeaux, et savoura à l'avance leur rage impuissante. ... La nouvelle du mariage de l'héritier s'était répandue comme une traînée de poudre, et tout le monde semblait plaindre sa nouvelle épouse. Dans les salons chuchotait-on qu'il gardait au cœur une « femme de sa vie », un premier amour inoubliée, même après son propre mariage. Certains assuraient, qu'il avait frôlé l'irréparable le jour où elle avait dit « oui » à un autre. D'autres juraient l'avoir surpris, les yeux embués devant les films où elle jouait, qu'il revisionnait inlassablement. Alors, quand après la naissance des jumeaux, Ariane, feignant la résignation, a murmuré qu'elle « devait les réunir, lui et son grand amour », il l'a serrée férocement contre lui, paniqué. « C'est quoi ces conneries ? Mon cœur, tu DOIS me croire ! »
