After the car accident, one of the Johnson sons was dead and the other gravely injured. When my devout, devoted husband woke up in the hospital, he called out, "Dorothy." He claimed that his body then held the soul of his brother, Elias Johnson. I went mad, calling doctors, priests, anyone I could, desperate to bring my husband back. It was not until that night that I overheard his conversation with our son: "Father, you've loved aunt for years. You even kept yourself chaste in your private prayer room, waiting. Now, finally, you can be with her openly." The man in the bed reached out to stroke our son's hair. "If it weren't to stop your mother from destroying her relationship, I wouldn't have married her." I hid in the shadows, still reeling from their words, when I saw what happened after our son left. The husband I had always known, icy, composed, and ascetic to maintain his devout faith for seven years, was then holding his sister-in-law close on that tiny hospital bed, sharing a warmth meant for lovers. The next day, I applied for Jim Johnson's death certificate and burned our marriage certificate. At his grand wedding, I climbed aboard the helicopter sent to fetch me. However, my once-cold husband went mad, chasing after us down several streets, desperate and unhinged.

My family was attacked by rogue wolves when we entered their territory. My wolf was gravely injured, and in the end, I was the one who saved everyone.
As I collapsed, exhausted, no one came to me—they all ran to my adopted sister, Fiona, fussing over a few shallow scratches.
By the time pack members carried me to the infirmary, the healer delivered the cruel news: my wolf had been struck by a silver dagger, and the one-month-old pup in my womb wouldn’t survive.
Yet my mate, Luke, had given the only life-saving treatment to Fiona. With no other choice, I refused the healer’s remedies and numbed my wolf’s pain with crude herbs—knowing it would only buy us three days before death.
In those last days, I let everything go. I gave Fiona all my possessions and insurance money while my parents smiled in approval. I signed the bond-severing agreement Luke slid across the table without a second thought. Luke was satisfied, believing I was considerate. Kane, my brother, nodded his head when I told him to give my room to Fiona.
Even my son, Jim, squealed with joy when I asked him to call her “mom.” No one questioned why I gave all my belongings to Fiona, and their approving gazes said it all: “Good. The old Emma is back. But as the clock ticked down, one thought haunted me:
When they find our bodies—my wolf and my unborn pup—will that satisfaction turn to regret?

Valeria Herrera, la hija querida de una familia poderosa. Desafió a toda su familia para casarse con Sebastián Jiménez, un soltero que ya cargaba con dos hijos y una empresa en ruinas. Durante seis años de matrimonio, amó a los niños como una madre biológica e impulsó la carrera de Sebastián. Los niños crecieron obedientes y cariñosos, y la empresa de Sebastián terminó cotizando en bolsa. Pero justo cuando celebraban su ascenso social, apareció de repente la madre biológica de los niños. Sebastián, siempre tan calculador, perdió completamente la cabeza rogándole que se quedara, humillando públicamente a Valeria. Esa noche desapareció con sus hijos para reunirse con su antiguo amor. Después, Sebastián llegó con los papeles de divorcio: —Gracias por tus años de esfuerzo, pero lo que los niños necesitan es a su madre biológica. La madre biológica añadió: —Gracias por cuidar a mis hijos, pero una madrastra nunca podrá compararse con la madre de verdad. El mérito de criar no cuenta tanto como el de dar la vida. ¡Pues entonces Valeria ya no quería ser madrastra! Pero los niños no aceptaron a su madre biológica ni a su padre. Incluso declararon: —¡Valeria es nuestra única mamá! Si se divorcian, nos iremos con ella aunque tenga que casarse de nuevo!

Soy Naiara Jiménez. Al tercer día de mi disputa con mi prometido, Esteban Muñoz, él aceptó a propósito la propuesta de su asistente, Luna Castro, de hacer un viaje por carretera. Creía que, como siempre, me pondría celosa y armaría un escándalo. Pero no esperaba que, al regresar un mes después, me encontrara totalmente cambiada. Cuando él ayudó a Luna a quitarme un proyecto, ya no renuncié por enfado. Al contrario, me ocupé de todo con dedicación, e incluso le redacté la propuesta con total solicitud. Cuando él, para que Luna obtuviera el bono anual, arruinó un diseño en el que había trabajado tanto, ya no me esforcé por demostrar nada. Acepté toda la culpa y me dejé amonestar. Incluso cuando quiso ascender a Luna de forma excepcional a gerente general, no me enojé. Hasta cedí voluntariamente todas mis acciones para que Esteban las distribuyera libremente. Luna estaba muy complacida. —¿Ves? Te dije que con Naiara no hay que ser duro. Hay que ignorarla y mantener la distancia con ella. Seguro estos días de ausencia dieron resultado. Tiene miedo de perderte, por eso se porta tan dócil. Esteban se lo creyó totalmente. Alabó la inteligencia de Luna. Luego me buscó a solas para ofrecerme un ascenso y aumento de sueldo, y, como nunca antes, me prometió una boda inolvidable. Pero parecía haber olvidado algo: durante el viaje, ya había firmado mi solicitud de renuncia. Y yo también había roto con él. Desde entonces, todo quedaría cortado. Sin más relación.

El día de mi cumpleaños, yo, Luna García, y mi hermana adoptiva Susana García sufrimos un accidente automovilístico. Las llamas ya me habían consumido, pero mi prometido, Manuel Sánchez, señaló el asiento del copiloto y gritó a los socorristas: —¡Salven a Susana primero! ¡Tiene un problema cardíaco! Al despertar, mi rostro estaba desfigurado y los médicos me dieron un mes de vida como máximo. Más tarde, por el bien de los intereses de ambas familias, todos decidieron que Susana se casaría en mi lugar con mi prometido. Manuel, con el corazón apretado, acarició los vendajes que cubrían mi cara y me hizo una promesa: —Cuando te mejores, la posición de señora Sánchez seguirá siendo tuya. Yo acepté con una sonrisa. Incluso regalé, como obsequio prenupcial para ella, todas mis acciones, propiedades y las obras de arte que no había revelado al público. Gracias a mis pinturas, ella se convirtió en una artista renombrada, admirada por todos. Durante una entrevista con los periodistas, nuestra madre, Irene Jiménez, lloró emocionada: —¡Menos mal que no le pasó nada a ella en el accidente! ¡Si no, nuestra familia habría perdido a una genia! Manuel también anunció a los cuatro vientos que ella sería la única y legítima esposa de la familia Sánchez. Lo que no sabían era que la verdadera genia los observaba desde las sombras, con una mirada gélida. Y todas aquellas cosas que yo misma les había regalado, desde el principio, no fueron más que ofrendas que preparé para mi venganza.
