"Fate has a peculiar sense of humor, especially when it comes to love. Gia, a young woman struggling to keep her comatose mother alive, is forced to work as a waitress on the yacht of the powerful and arrogant CEO, Juno Greco. A man-made accident unleashes the fury of this shipping magnate, who uses his influence to close all doors to her, preventing her from getting a job. Between misfortunes that seem to haunt her and her extraordinary ability to get into trouble, Gia must face loss, betrayal and a love born of hate. Fate takes an unexpected turn when Juno's grandmother, a woman of strong character and noble heart, takes Gia under her wing. What begins as a battle of wills between Juno and Gia turns into a story of forbidden passion, betrayal and second chances, where pride and secrets threaten to destroy the only true thing they have found in their lives: a love as intense as it is destructive."
View MoreDorian was nervous, pacing the hallway as Gia was wheeled into the delivery room. "Do you want to come with her?" a nurse asked kindly. "I've... never been to a birth.""It shows," the nurse smiled. "But she needs it."Dorian nodded, he had faced life or death situations on his missions, and kept his cool under enemy fire, but this was completely different. "Just tell me what to do." "Put this on, then you have to apply disinfectant." The nurse handed him a gown and a surgical cap.As he dressed, Dorian thought of Lucrezia, she should be there, not him. They shouldn't have tricked her like that, but it was the only way to keep Juno away, he had to keep thinking that this child was not his son.The two cousins were very different from each other, he always trying to do the right thing, dedicated to his missions. Juno, was a disaster in personal matters but a genius in business.A scream from Gia brought him out of his thoughts."Are you ready?" the nurse asked."Not really.""No
The doctor saw John sweat as soon as he told him that Mathis was with Marizza.“Is Mathis with her?” He asked as if he hadn't heard what the doctor had said.“Mr. Dupont came as soon as you left to get the money.”“Did he say anything to you about...?” John paled.“No, I told him, but I need more money.”“More? I already gave him five thousand!”“It's not enough, almost everyone here knows Gia, that girl came to see her mother all the time.” The doctor smiled maliciously.“Here you go, but I don't want anyone to find out.” John pulled out a wad of cash.“Relax, no one will say anything, although I must say you are a coward.” The doctor counted the money.“What did you say?” John frowned."To deceive a man like that, to hide his real daughter from him, that's cowardly.""You don't know anything about the situation.""I know enough, but as long as you pay, your secret is safe." The doctor laughed.John stayed in the office, constantly wiping his sweat as he waited for Mathis to leave, t
After the bad time in Miami, now in Texas, Dorian and Gía continued with the decoration of the baby's bedroom. Dorian wanted to take advantage of his days off."Are you okay?" Dorian noticed that Gía was pale while they painted the room."Just a little dizzy, since the encounter with Juno I haven't felt well." Gía leaned against the wall."You should rest." He suggested worriedly."I can't, I have to go to daycare, the kids must be waiting for me.""About that, Sarah called while you were sleeping." Dorian put the roller aside, he knew that what he would say would affect her."What's wrong?" He asked without having any idea."I'm sorry, Gía, you've been fired, they say you lied about your condition.""But I didn't lie, I just didn't mention it.""I'm sorry, I know how much you wanted that job.""The kids, I got so attached to them." Gia started crying.Meanwhile, in Miami, John walked into a pawn shop."How much for these jewels?" he put Regina's last few pieces of jewelry on the coun
John was a man with a quick and agile mind, Mathis Dupont was the man they needed to get out of the misery they were in, so he decided to call his daughter to come closer."Alina! Come here for a moment, there's someone I want to introduce you to!"Alina walked up to them, seeing the elegant visitor up close, her eyes sparkled with interest as she scanned him with her gaze, from the clothes and the expensive watch he was wearing, it was obvious that he had money, and he was also very attractive despite being her father's age."Hello, who's our guest, dad?" She greeted in a honeyed voice, thinking that he was some foreign investor who would help her father."Mr. Mathis Dupont, he's... an old acquaintance of the family." John answered, starting the plan he had put together for her convenience.Alina approached, extending her hand."Nice to meet you." She said, throwing a suggestive look.Mathis briefly took her hand, feeling uncomfortable with the way the girl looked at him."Excuse me
Upon hearing that, Juno felt really furious, his eyes fixed on Gia's belly, he felt a strong sensation inside his chest due to the rage he was feeling.“Wow, I see you haven't wasted any time! You've betrayed me with my own cousin!” Juno's voice trembled, turning almost into a hiss.The people around them began to discreetly stop, soon they had already formed a circle around them, some even taking out their phones to record the scandalous scene in front of them.“You're making a fuss.” Gia said, embarrassed, seeing that the people's attention was focused on them.“Shut up! It took you longer to lose my son than to get into bed with him.” He roared, the loud sound of his voice causing several people to jump.“Don't talk to her like that!” Dorian stood between them, adopting a protective stance.“Are you defending her? They are traitors! My wife and my own cousin.” The whispers and murmurs around them increased.“Ex-wife, you lost that right when you decided to treat her like a servant.
At the Smith's house, Regina anxiously awaited her daughter's return. John had returned early after hearing about the scandal. Not only would they be singled out for being bankrupt, but now for that embarrassing event as well. "I told you it was a bad idea! But you never listen to me!" He shouted, Regina turned to look at him furiously. "Shut up! Everything would have been fine if that bitch Odalis hadn't shown up." Regina looked at the photos and comments on social media on her phone. The door opened, and Alina walked in looking like a mess, with disheveled hair, torn clothes, and scratch marks on her neck. "Your brilliant plan failed! Odalis showed up!" She shouted furiously at her mother. "What was Odalis doing there?" Regina didn't seem to care about her daughter's bad condition. "What do I know! But she attacked me like a crazy woman!" She replied, covering her breasts with a blanket that someone on the street had given her."This is all your fault! Using our daughter like
At the Smith family home, Regina looked at all the bills that had piled up on the table, the debts were increasing day by day, and the credit cards were at their limit.“I can't stand this situation any longer, we need money urgently.” She said to John, throwing the bills on the floor.“And what do you want me to do? I've looked for new investors, but as soon as I get close, they run away, they don't answer my calls.“You don't need investors, you need to find Gia, that ungrateful woman has the obligation to help us solve our problems.” Regina smiled maliciously.“Find her? Not even Greco with all his money could do it.” They were aware of everything that was happening.“That man is the one who has all the resources to help us out of the misery we are in.”“What are you planning, Regina?” He stared at her while raising an eyebrow.“Alina! “Come here right now!” She called, ignoring her husband's question.Alina came down in her pajamas, yawning, her hair tangled, she still had pillow
A couple of months later, Gia saw a van park in front of her door, she nervously locked the door, thinking it could be Juno.She was surprised to see that the person getting out was Dorrian, she hadn't said anything to him, hoping to give him a nice surprise, Gia opened the door and went out to greet him."Dorian!" She greeted him smiling.Dorian looked at her for a moment, her belly was noticeably bigger than the last time he saw her."Look at you! You're radiant." He smiled hugging her carefully."I'm huge, but the doctor says everything is going perfectly." She laughed inviting him in.The house was cozy, Gia had decorated it by putting up some photographs, some of her with the children in daycare."How's work going?" asked Dorian, sitting on the sofa."The children are wonderful, they make me feel happy." He answered caressing her belly."What have they told you about your pregnancy?""No one knows I'm pregnant, I wear loose clothing at work and well, I'll have to ask for a leave
Gia stood looking at the two-story house that Dorian had prepared for her to live in. It was in a quiet neighborhood in Austin, Texas. It wasn't luxurious, but she thought it was charming, with its front porch and a small garden."The keys are under the mat, all the utilities work, I took the liberty of deciding for you by filling the refrigerator." Dorian had told her.When she entered, she noticed that the furniture was simple but comfortable, the kitchen was equipped, and in the dining room she found an envelope with documents and money."For emergencies, use it carefully. I'll visit you as soon as I can." A note from Dorian said.Gia sat on the couch, placing her hands on her belly. Her baby was still growing inside, when Herminia and Juno thought she had lost it."We'll be fine. Now it's just the two of us." He said tenderly.The next day, she went out to look for work, she came to a ‘Little Steps’ daycare center where there was a sign indicating that they needed staff.“Do you h
It was almost midnight when everything changed for Gia. She was in the kitchen, a cup of tea in her hands, trying to process another difficult day at her mother's hospital bedside. She was startled when her father came slamming the door."Gia!" Her father's shout made her jump. "Get over here right now!"She didn't need to see him to know he'd been drinking. The smell of whiskey reached the kitchen before him. Her stepmother Regina appeared behind her, with that smile that always foretold trouble, and of course, Alina, her stepsister, wouldn't miss this spectacle for anything in the world."What's wrong, Dad?" Gia asked, leaving the cup on the counter."What's wrong?" Her father let out a bitter laugh. "I'm just fed up. Fed up! Do you know how much the hospital cost me today? Do you have any idea how much money I've spent on your mother over the years?""But Dad..." Gia felt her voice tremble. "Mom needs us, the doctors say she could wake up at any moment...""The doctors have been sa...
