Perito Criminal

I was reborn back to 1975, when the child in my womb was three months old. I did not tell anyone and quietly had an abortion. However, I still wrapped cotton around my belly every day, pretending the baby was still there. In my past life, my husband Declan Huxley's childhood sweetheart Jane Patton and I gave birth on the same day. She had a healthy, ordinary baby boy. But my child looked nothing like us—he was mixed-race, with features of the Valorian people. Declan and I were both locals, so there was no way our son could look like this. Enraged, Declan scolded me in front of everyone, accusing me of cheating on him and having a disgraceful affair with a Valorian. No matter how many times I explained, no one believed me, and I became the shameful woman everyone pointed at. Worse still, Declan reported me and handed in some foreign letters he found at home, which led to me being taken by federal agents and sentenced as a spy. I spent ten years in prison, and when I finally walked out, I was nothing but skin and bones. Meanwhile, Declan had climbed the ranks for his so-called loyalty to the country. He held Jane's hand and brought along my real son, Seth Huxley, then threw 500 dollars at me like it was charity. He said, "Back then, Jane was accidentally deceived by someone else and gave birth to that brat. Unlike you, she has a gentle nature and couldn't endure hardship, so I had no choice but to switch your children. "This money is payment for your ten years and your reputation. You have a criminal record, and I already filed for divorce long ago to be with Jane. Seth also thinks you're not worthy of me, so you better take care of yourself." Seth also looked at me with disgust. "Mommy Jane treats me very well, and she's not like you; she's never been to prison. I don't want a mother like you!" When I learned the truth, the fury was so overwhelming that I had a stroke and died in despair. In this new life, I want to see how they plan to scheme against me when the child is already gone.

Nang ikasal si Alexandra sa kaniyang asawa ay iniwan niya ang kaniyang trabaho. Pinili niyang manatali sa bahay at asikasuhin lamang ang kaniyang asawa. Ngunit unti-unti niyang nalaman na niloloko siya ng kaniyang asawa. Agad siyang nakipaghiwalay dito. Dahil sa sobrang sakit, nagpakalasing siya at pumunta sa iba’t ibang bar para maghanap ng lalaki. Ngunit nang matapos ang nangyari sa kanina, paggising nila sa umaga, nalaman niyang ang lalaking kaniyang katabi ay ang tiyuhin ng kaniyang asawa. Si Lorence Tyron Mendez, is one of the most feared corporate lawyers, handling high-stakes divorces, business lawsuits, and criminal defense cases. Pareho lang silang lasing ng gabing iyon kaya pinampas nila ito. Umaasang walang nabuo ang kanilang pagsasama sa isang gabi lamang. Dahil iniwan ni Alexandra ang kaniyang asawa, nawala ang lahat sa kaniya. Kaya naman naghanap agad siya ng trabaho. Nagkataon na naghahanap ng secretary si Tyron, at siya ang nakuha para sa posisyon. Akala ni Tyron, ay ginagamit lamang siya ni Alexandra para mawala ang bisa ng kasal. Akala niya ay nagpanggap itong buntis para tuluyang mapawalang bisa ang kasal sa dating asawa. Kaya naman nagalit si Tryon kay Alexandra, pero hindi niya ito kayang sisantihin sa trabaho. Lalo pang lumala ang sitwasyon nang magkamali ng akala si Tyron tungkol kay Alexander, iniisip na may masamang balak ito sa kanya. Pero sa kabila ng lahat, ang tanging nais lang ni Alexandra ay ang makalaya sa lason na kasal at mabawi ang buhay na isinuko niya noon para sa pag-ibig. Ngunit paano siya makakaalis sa kamay ng traydor niyang asawa, lalo na’t ginagawa nito ang lahat upang pigilan ang kanilang hiwalayan? At sa gitna ng lahat ng ito, paano nila haharapin ang damdamin nilang unti-unting nabubuo para sa isa’t isa? Paano kung sila talaga ang nakatadhana?
