LOGINWhen Annie learned that her husband Eric was still with his ex-girlfriend Mia and that Mia was also pregnant with his child, she left for good by faking death and renamed herself as Renee. When they meet again, Annie is a completely different person. Eric's eyes on fire. He wants to devour her. But he's interrupted. "Mommy who's that?" "A stranger." "Say that again? Who am I to her?!" -------------------------------------------------- Renee is no longer the woman Eric once knew—stronger, unyielding, and harboring secrets of her own. She thought she'd left her old life behind when she faked her death to escape the heartbreak of her husband Eric's betrayal. But fate has other plans. Now, caught between the past she thought she’d escaped and the present she fiercely protects, Renee must confront the man who distroyed her. Eric, meanwhile, will stop at nothing to learn the truth about her true identity—and the mysterious child by her side. Can they handle the truth? Or will Renee manage to find her happiness that she's always dreamed of having?

"I promise I'll make it up to you, I'll make things right" her mother said as she kissed Crystal's forehead and made to leave.
