Matinding galit ang naramdaman ni Detective Marga Castro nang mahuli ang sariling ina na may relasyon sa boyfriend niyang si Dominic Mendoza. Para sa kanya, iyon ang pinakamalaking kataksilan na hindi niya kailanman mapapatawad. Sa isang iglap, gumuho ang mundo niya—ang ina niyang pinagkatiwalaan at ang lalaking minahal niya, parehong nagtraydor sa kanya. Umalis siya sa bahay nang walang direksyon, puno ng poot at hinanakit, hanggang sa isang aksidenteng kinasangkutan niya ang nagbago ng lahat. Nasagasaan siya ng isang lalaking kalaunan ay malalaman niyang si Dr. Oliver Mendoza—ang ama ng ex niya. Isang sikat ngunit kilalang malupit na surgeon. Habang nagpapagaling sa bahay ng doktor, naisip ni Marga ang isang mapanganib na plano. Gagantihan niya si Dominic sa pinakamasakit na paraan—sa pamamagitan ng pag-akit sa sariling ama nito. Alam niyang delikado, alam niyang mali, pero sa isip niya, ito ang hustisyang karapat-dapat sa kaniya. Ngunit habang isinasagawa niya ang plano, natuklasan ni Marga ang panig ni Dr. Mendoza na hindi niya inaasahan. Sa likod ng malamig na anyo at mapait na nakaraan, nakita niya ang isang lalaking marunong magmahal at marunong umintindi—isang lalaking unti-unti niyang minahal sa kabila ng lahat ng kasinungalingan. Paghihiganti ang plano, pag-ibig ang naging kapalit. Ipagpatuloy ba ni Marga ang paghihiganti o ipaglalaban ang pag-ibig na hindi kailanman dapat umusbong? Dahil kapag lumabas ang katotohanan, hindi lang puso niya ang mawawasak—pati ang tanging taong natutunan niyang mahalin.

Then, their bloodcurdling screams will ring out. Oddly enough, they always thank my grandmother when they're leaving. One day, I finally find out what exactly my grandmother paints.

The day I decided to donate my body to science, my family gathered around my adopted sister, Hailey, celebrating her acceptance into a cutting-edge experimental treatment program. The one with brain cancer was supposed to be me. But Hailey used my husband Zane's position at the hospital to swap her healthy medical records with my terminal diagnosis, stealing the one chance I had to survive. And the worst part? Everyone cheered her on. The pain became too much. I fought to stay present, only to overhear the nurses whispering, "It's a good thing Dr. Zane secured that spot for Hailey. They said she only had three days left." So, in the last 72 hours of my life, I quietly let go of everything. When I gave Hailey the original manuscripts of my novels I had poured my heart and soul into, my father and brother gave me a satisfied smile. When Zane decided to grant Hailey her dying wish by marrying her, he handed me the divorce papers. I signed without a moment's hesitation. He sighed and praised me for finally being "so reasonable." And when I was the one who coaxed our daughter, Olivia, into calling Hailey "Mommy," Olivia gushed that her new mom was the best. "Don't worry," Zane soothed. "We're just keeping it safe for now. Once she's gone, it'll all come back to you." I gave Hailey everything I had, just like they wanted. So why, when they find out this was all Hailey's vicious lie, do they come crying, saying I'm the one they wanted all along?
