Heidi Sanson is the type of woman who preserves herself to the man she’ll marry. Not until her cousin, Shamcey, brings her to the club to have some fun just to forget her problems for a while. But too much fun can lead into different kinds of enjoyment… or more so, problems. Heidi had a blackout after drinking the blue cocktail that the waiter gave her that night. The next day, she found herself in a hotel room, sleeping alone in a huge fluffy bed without wearing anything on her body—she was literally naked! There, she remembered some blurred scenarios of that night. Someone pulled her inside the VIP room. Instead of stopping him from kissing her, she’s too completely drunk to go against his sensual urge. She just found herself responding to the kiss of that stranger. That night was a mistake that she will definitely use as a lesson learned. But… What if that night is only the beginning of everything? What happens when she begins an entirely fresh career path to face the challenge that she walked away after that night? What happens if the new acquaintances who got into her life helped her to unravel memories that were long forgotten? Can she connect the dots to discover the hidden truth of her life?

Giorgo Romero, el Don de la familia Romero, cayó en una emboscada tendida por un demente suicida que llevaba explosivos atados al cuerpo. Cuando eso ocurrió, mi esposo, Fabio López, y sus hombres ya se habían marchado a un desfile de moda con su amor de la infancia, Reina Digiorno, para escoltarla y protegerla allá. En lugar de presionar el botón de señal en mi anillo, me lancé hacia Giorgo a pesar de estar a punto de dar a luz. Así, con mi propio cuerpo, lo protegí de la explosión. Sin embargo, en mi vida anterior, sí había presionado el botón. Fabio había dejado plantada a Reina para regresar corriendo a la escena y salvarle la vida a Giorgo. Gracias a ese mérito, lo ascendieron al puesto de subjefe. Pero Reina se enfureció con Fabio por abandonarla antes de tiempo y, por pura rabia, cruzó la autopista sin mirar a los lados. Así fue como la atropellaron y murió. Fabio no dijo nada… pero el día en que entré en trabajo de parto, me mandó a una casa de subastas clandestina. —¡El Don tenía a tantos soldati protegiéndolo! ¿Por qué me obligaste a volver, entonces? ¿No es porque solo querías la gloria de ser la esposa del subjefe? ¡Si no fuera por ti, Reina no habría muerto! ¡Debes sufrir mil veces lo que ella sufrió! Yo solo podía mirar cómo los invitados pujaban por mis órganos, uno por uno. Ni siquiera el cordón umbilical de mi recién nacido se salvó de la subasta. Al final, morí por una infección que se produjo mientras me arrancaban los órganos. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, había regresado al día en que emboscaron a Giorgo.
