But how was Victória going to explain that it was actually all a plan by her family so that they would get her mother's inheritance? Her father, grandmother, stepmother and half-sister were all against her!

When I called her out, she actually had the nerve to say she was "redistributing wealth to help the less fortunate."

Then she and her boyfriend teamed up to try and have me killed. Next thing I know, I woke up and it was the exact same day she started her whole rich-girl act.

Lila Anderson n’était qu’une jeune femme pleine de rêves et d’amour lorsqu’elle fut accusée d’un crime qu’elle n’avait pas commis. Trahie, brisée, et injustement condamnée, elle passe trois longues années derrière les barreaux. Son seul tort ? Avoir aimé Dante Whitemore, l’héritier d’un empire impitoyable, sans jamais chercher autre chose que son cœur. À sa sortie de prison, Lila est méconnaissable. Brisée mais toujours digne malgré les humiliations qu’elle endure. Ce qu’elle ignore, c’est que le destin s’apprête à la replonger dans les ténèbres qu’elle croyait avoir laissées derrière elle. Car Dante est de retour. Lorsqu’il la revoit, il ne reconnaît pas celle qu’il avait jadis tant méprisée. Sa présence l’obsède, l’énerve, le trouble. Il croit encore qu’elle l’a trahi… Mais peu à peu, chaque regard, chaque mot, chaque silence fissure ses certitudes. Ce qu’il ne sait pas encore, c’est qu’il est lui-même la proie d’un mensonge bien plus vaste, ourdi par Elena Moreau — la rivale cachée, manipulatrice élégante aux allures d’ange, qui depuis l’enfance rêve de devenir la femme de Dante. Une rivalité invisible, mais cruelle, qui aura détruit des vies pour mieux dissimuler la vérité. Entre haine, passion, vengeance et rédemption, Dante devra affronter ses fautes et faire tomber les masques. Mais Lila, elle, peut-elle encore lui faire confiance ? Peut-on reconstruire l’amour sur les cendres du mépris ? Et que fera Jason Stuart, l’ami fidèle devenu rival silencieux, lorsqu’il comprendra qu’il aime celle qu’il ne pourra jamais vraiment avoir ? Un amour détruit par la trahison. Un pardon plus dur que la prison. Une reconquête à haut prix. Et une femme qui, cette fois, ne se laissera plus briser.

I secretly invite my in-laws over for the New Year, hoping to surprise my husband, Huxley Carlson. But the moment my father-in-law steps through the door, Huxley's secretary shoves him out. He slams into the shoe cabinet, throwing out his back. She sneers. "Who do you beggars think you are, strolling into Mr. Carlson's villa like this? You're this broke and still have the nerve to call yourself his father-in-law?" I immediately call for the housekeeper to help him, but the secretary blocks her. She even shoves my mother-in-law. "You really think you're the lady of the house?" she snaps. "Mr. Carlson hired the housekeeper to serve him, not to waste time on you or your useless parents." My mother-in-law is so enraged that she suffers a heart attack on the spot. I call Huxley in a panic, begging him to come to the hospital. But he sounds utterly unmoved. His voice is cold and mocking as he says, "Jen told me what happened. The nerve of you, bringing your parents to my house! Now you want me to rush to the hospital because your mom's pretending to be sick? "Tell them to get out! If she dies, she dies. Hell, maybe it's a blessing—just in time for the New Year!"
