À la cinquième année de mon mariage avec Thomas Mercier, la fille qu'il entretenait dans un hôtel a été exposée au grand jour, et tout le monde l'a su. Pour éviter qu'elle ne porte l'étiquette de « maîtresse », Thomas est venu me trouver avec les papiers de divorce en disant : « M. Laurent m'a aidé autrefois, et avant sa mort il m'a confié Claire. Maintenant que cette affaire a éclaté, je ne peux pas rester les bras croisés. » Toutes ces années, Claire a toujours été le premier choix de Thomas. Dans ma vie précédente, quand j'ai entendu ces paroles, je me suis effondrée en hurlant, refusant catégoriquement de divorcer. Jusqu'à ce que je développe une dépression sévère, et que Thomas, à cause d'une simple phrase de Claire : « Élodie n'a pas l'air malade », décide que je simulais, persuadé que je jouais la comédie. Il m'a piégée en me faisant passer pour infidèle et a directement demandé le divorce. C'est alors que j'ai compris que je ne pourrais jamais rivaliser avec cette dette de reconnaissance. Désespérée, j'ai mis fin à mes jours. Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'ai signé sans hésitation ces papiers de divorce.

OWEN GARCIA is the twin brother of RUSSELL ROSSELL (heir of the billionaire Theodore Rossell), kidnapped by NURSE GEMMA GARCIA. SHELLEY SILVER is a woman who dreams to be a novelist but received rejections one after another. Till she met and became friends with Russell Rossell who pretended to be an ordinary employee from the company of Theodore Rossel. He has a knack for writing and suggested that be the ghostwriter of Shelley and she readily agreed. Russel Rossell was hospitalized due to a car accident. That was the time Owen entered the life of Shelley, and pretended to be Russel Rossell. Like Russel Rossell, Owen also has a knack for writing novels, thus, Shelley wasn't able to know the difference between the twins. Gemma Garcia learned about Russell accident, and planned to use "her son" to get inside the Rossell Clan. Since he loved "his mother" Owen agreed to Gemma's plan. But they say, blood is thicker than water, hence, Owen felt pity for his twin brother when he met Joanne (acting as Russel Rossell, boyfriend of Joanne) and found out that Joanne is in relation with Brendon, the stepson of Theodore, who also masterminded the car accident of Russel. Thus, Russell Owen wrote a novel that divulged the crime of Brendon and requested Shelley to send copies to Theodore Rossell. Shocked, as he reads the book, Theodore ordered an investigation of his son's accident. And Brendon was sent to prison. The lives of Russel, Owen, Gemma, Shelley, and Theodore get tangled up till Theodore finds out that Owen is the twin brother of his son (by DNA). Now Shelley's Dilemma is who does she really love? Is it Russel Rosell who she loved the very first time she saw him or Owen, the mistaken identity of Russell Rossell?
