In our five years of marriage, I had given in to my husband, John, for a grand total of three times. The first time was during my pregnancy. He had taken his ex-girlfriend Stacy, who had once taken three bullets for him, back home and cared for her. When I became angry, he immediately sent her away once she recovered. The second time was after childbirth, when I was ready to return to work. To repay a favor, he gave the position I had worked years for to Stacy. He said it was so I could rest well. I looked at my son, who needed me, and I conceded. The third time was during our son’s birthday. In front of the entire company, he had announced that Stacy was his wife, all so she could establish herself in the company. I gave him two choices: divorce or send her away. Without hesitation, he chose the latter and immediately sent her abroad. The fourth time was when my father suddenly had a heart attack and urgently needed surgery. He disappeared again. I searched everywhere for him to cover the hospital expenses, and I finally discovered that he had gone to the airport to pick up a pregnant Stacy, who was returning to the country. Because of that, my father missed the best chance for treatment and died. I was done giving in. I disguised the divorce agreement as our son’s medical bill and tricked him into signing it. No compensation or apology would matter. I did not wish to have him near my son or myself again.

At sixty-five, I got served divorce papers. The same day, my husband Sebastian — decked out in his wedding suit, of all things — popped a handful of sleeping pills in a suicide attempt. For years, we were the perfect couple. The kind of pair neighbors whispered about with envy. I couldn't wrap my head around it. The divorce. The pills. None of it made sense. Not until I found the photo and letter in his pocket.

"You broke the law of this house when you fell in love with me, your own stepbrother. And now, you’ve broken the law of this country by killing someone. Tell me, Hariette. How will you defend yourself from the crime you’ve committed, when you couldn’t even defend the love you once felt for me?” Napagbintangan si Hariette ng mga kapitbahay na siya ang pumatay sa kanyang tiyuhin matapos makita ng mga ito na hawak niya ang patalim habang nakahandusay sa sahig ang duguan na katawan nito. Inaresto siya ng mga pulis at ikinulong nang walang matibay na ebidensya laban sa kanya. Umatras ang kanyang abogado sa paghawak ng kanyang kaso dahil ayaw niyang magsalita at ipagtanggol ang sarili. Ayaw niyang sabihin ang totoo na ang kanyang Tiya Gilda ang pumatay sa asawa nito. Wala na siyang makuhang libreng abogado kaya naman napilitan siyang humingi ng tulong sa pamilyang minsan na ring kumupkop sa kanya bago siya napunta sa poder ng kanyang tiyahin, at iyon ay ang mga Avery. Noong una, ayaw itong tanggapin ni Justin, dahil hindi ito humahawak ng kaso ng mga kriminal. Ang katwiran niya, bakit nya ipagtatanggol ang mga taong nagkasala? Ang nararapat sa mga ito ay maparusahan. Pero sa kalaunan ay tinanggap niya rin ito, ngunit bago pa man ang lahat ay nagkasundo sila na babayaran niya ito sa paraang gusto ng binatang abogado, at pumayag naman siya. Pero paano kung ang hilingin nitong bayad ay ang pakasalan siya ng sikreto? Ang akala niya ay may nararamdaman din ito sa kanya. Iyon pala, gusto lang nitong turuan ng leksyon ang babaeng nang-iwan dito. Ang babaeng pinagselosan niya kaya siya lumayas sa bahay ng pamilya Avery. Sa pagitan ng hustisya at pag-ibig, sino ang tunay na huhusgahan? Ang nagkasala, o ang nagmahal?

In my previous life, my sister thought that since my husband and I had high-paying jobs, she could swap her son with my child without anyone noticing. But twenty-five years later, the tables turned. My son had grown into a street thug, while her son—raised under my care—rose smoothly through life. Young as he was, he had already become a CEO. He was dutiful, bought me a villa, and even sent me traveling around the world. My sister barged into his company, waving a DNA test report, kicking up a scene, only to be thrown out by security. "Mr. Kieran said that even if you are his biological mother, you never gave him a single day of care," they told her. "So he refuses to acknowledge you." Breaking down completely, she drove her car into me and ended my life. When I opened my eyes again, we had returned to the very day she switched our babies. This time, my sister clutched her own child tightly, a wild, triumphant grin on her face. "From now on, you can be the mother of a street thug," she sneered. "The villa and all those riches—they're mine!"
