Three days ago, he demanded me to donate my kidney to Emma. When I refused, telling him I was two months pregnant with our child, his eyes had turned cold. "Stop lying," he had snarled. "You're just being selfish, trying to let Emma die." He pulled over on the dark highway. "Get out," he ordered. "Walk home since you're so heartless. " I stood there in the darkness and was kidnapped by the vengeful criminal, whom Mark had once imprisoned. He cut out my tongue. With cruel satisfaction, he used my phone to call my husband.

He angrily condemned the murderer for treating a pregnant woman so cruelly But he didn't recognize that the mutilated body before him was his own wife - me.

Sa mata ng mga mamamayan ng Lungsod ng San Jose, si Cyrus ay isang anino lamang—isang lalaking walang nakaraan, walang ambisyon, at isang "dustang manugang" na palamunin ng pamilyang Sandoval. Sa loob ng tatlong taon, tinitiis niya ang bawat pangungutya, pag-alipusta, at pagmamaliit mula sa kaniyang mga biyenan at sa mapagmataas na pinsan ng kaniyang asawa na si Marco. Ang tanging dahilan ng kaniyang pananatili ay ang kaniyang wagas na pagmamahal kay Claire Sandoval, ang babaeng nagbigay sa kaniya ng tahanan sa kabila ng kaniyang pagiging "basura" sa paningin ng lipunan. ​Ngunit ang lahat ay magbabago nang mahanap siya ni Arturo, ang tapat na alalay ng pinakamayamang pamilya sa buong mundo. Sa isang madilim na eskinita, mabubunyag ang katotohanang sampung taon nang nakabaon: Si Cyrus ay hindi isang pulubi, kundi si Cyrus Villarreal, ang nag-iisang tagapagmana ng Villarreal Global Holdings. Ang kaniyang amnesia ay hindi aksidente, kundi bunga ng isang malupit na pagkakanulo mula sa sarili niyang kadugo na nagnais na agawin ang kaniyang trono. ​Sa halip na agad na magpakitang-gilas, pipiliin ni Cyrus na manatili sa kaniyang low-profile na buhay. Gagamitin niya ang kaniyang katalinuhan, ang kaniyang walang limitasyong yaman, at ang kaniyang mga lihim na koneksyon upang protektahan si Claire at durugin ang mga kaaway nito nang hindi siya nakikilala. Sa pamamagitan ng mga "frontman" sa negosyo, itatayo niya ang isang imperyo sa likod ng mga anino habang nananatiling tagalinis ng sahig sa harap ng mga Sandoval. Ito ay isang mahabang labanan ng talino, estratehiya, at pagtitimpi. Hanggang kailan niya kayang itago ang kaniyang koronang ginto sa likod ng isang basahan? Sa mundong ang lahat ay nasusukat sa pera, si Cyrus ang magpapatunay na ang pinaka-aba ay siya palang Hari na nagmamay-ari ng lahat.

On the day I discovered I was pregnant, my husband's first love—who also happened to be my half-sister—returned.

My daughter-in-law cheated on my son behind his back, and I caught her. When I confronted her, she turned the tables on me, accusing me instead. I told my son everything exactly as it happened, but she broke down crying and accused me of bullying her. "Ever since I married into the Simmons family, you've never been happy with me," she sobbed. "If I’d known you’d slander me like this, I would’ve been better off dead!" She attempted to hurt herself to prove her innocence, but my son stopped her. "Mom, how could you accuse my wife like that? You're my own mother, but this is too much!" he shouted. Furious, he moved out with her. Later, I fell gravely ill and begged my son to come see me one last time. When he finally arrived, he brought her with him. To my horror, they removed my oxygen tube. As I struggled to breathe, I heard her smug voice whisper in my ear: "Old hag, if it weren't for you accusing me of cheating, Herman and I wouldn’t have gotten your inheritance so quickly!" She laughed coldly. "Oh, and next time you accuse someone, make sure you have evidence. Did you really think your word alone could ruin me?" I died choking on my final breath. Afterward, they lived happily, spending my money without a care in the world. But then, I woke up. It was the day I caught her cheating again. This time, I went straight to work. I replaced the lubricant at home with industrial-strength glue. She wanted proof? Fine. I’d give her proof.

My wife, Jana Webster, uses her work at the company as an excuse to skip out on Leah Haynes, our daughter's field day. She even tells us not to participate in the activity. Having noticed how disappointed Leah looks, I decide to take her to the field day myself. As soon as we walk into the school, I spot Jana sitting on the couch located on the stage with her first love, Barton Ritter, as well as his son, Trenton Ritter. They look so close, as though they were an actual family of three. With a microphone in her hand, Jana goes on and on about how she's capable of keeping her family happy while maintaining a successful career. As she speaks, she smiles at Barton from time to time. The audience beneath the stage applauds heartily, giving Jana an ego boost. Even Trenton wears a haughty look. Soon, it's time for the Q&A session. I quickly snatch the microphone over. "Ms. Webster, since when do you have a son? Does your husband know about it?"
