Jamás olvidaré el frío despiadado de las aguas del Río Veyra. En mi vida pasada, yo era Darlena Valentino, la futura Donna de la familia Marcus, pero mi prometido, Reed Marcus, y mi prima Alice Bennett se aliaron para traicionarme. Me arrebataron mi lugar y se adueñaron de los recursos de mi familia. Al final, en plena guerra entre familias, me empujaron al borde de la muerte y me usaron como escudo. En el instante en que la bala me atravesó el pecho, vi a Reed protegiendo a Alice con todas sus fuerzas. Y Richard Corleone, mi amigo de la infancia, el hombre que siempre me había acompañado en silencio, perdió la razón y corrió hacia mí, abrazando mi cuerpo inerte mientras rugía de desesperación. Creí que aquello era un amor que había llegado demasiado tarde. Por eso, después de renacer, eché a Reed de mi vida sin dudarlo y me casé con Richard, convirtiéndome en la Donna de la familia Corleone. Pensé que por fin me había salvado, pero nunca imaginé que el destino me guardaba una crueldad aún mayor. Porque esos dos hombres, en el fondo, siempre habían amado a la misma mujer. Si al final todo iba a ser así, entonces yo también me bajaría de esta farsa llamada amor.

On New Year's Eve, my in-laws, Richard Prescott and Leona Reed, had flown back to have dinner at my place. However, our butler, Rupert Williams, had only prepared two plates of cold lobster rolls even though I had specifically reminded him that Leona was allergic to lobster. Rupert looked at me with his usual stiff expression and said, "Mr. Shaw, I understand that people from your background like to take advantage of situations. Your parents showing up for a free holiday meal doesn't surprise me." He added, "But as Ms. Jaclyn Prescott's most trusted butler, I have a duty to protect the Prescott family assets from being touched by questionable individuals, even if it's just a dinner. That said, I'm not heartless enough to let two elderly people go hungry. "Here are some leftover expired lobster rolls. Your parents can eat them and leave. Ms. Prescott is very busy with work, and I can't have her come home later only to deal with your poor parents." I froze for a moment, then realized he had mistaken Jaclyn's parents for mine. He was deliberately trying to humiliate me like he always did. I was about to explain when Richard and Leona, furious, turned to leave. However, Rupert called for the security guards to block their way. "I can understand that people from rural areas might lack proper manners, but wasting food is still a bad habit. Since the lobster rolls have already been prepared, I insist you finish them before you go."

You're just a dog who needs a better hand to lead him."

As a billionaire's daughter, I changed school a lot, for secrecy's sake. I never had the chance to socialize. I had guidelines on how to live my life -- rules made by my dad. I had my own trauma, though no one cared. At seventeen, I had to change -- I guess that's part of growing up. I fell in love. I wish I didn't. Breaking boundaries really is dangerous, I didn't acknowledge that. He had to die cause of my disobedience. Being a public figure sometimes can be a curse. It was for me. Years later, when I thought I'd forgotten him, I met someone else, just like my Damien. I believed it was Damein. Who knows? I had to keep him safe. I'll definitely break boundaries but this time, as a wounded dog who is back for a big fight. I'll fight for my freedom. No matter what it takes.

It was covered in scribbles and cross-outs, as if he'd agonized over the decision time and again. [If I fall in love with someone else during the marriage, I voluntarily give up all my assets and leave with nothing. Here's the list of properties.] He'd originally vowed to walk away penniless for her sake, but in the asset section, he'd crossed things out one by one.

Lotta is pregnant.]
