“Maria Stone felt she had everything, love and the man she thought loved her by her side. But everything came tumbling down when he threw the divorce papers at her. She had to leave and when she came back five years later. She wasn't alone; her triplets were with her, and she was ready to give love a chance. Not to him but to someone else. But when he came begging, she told him. "I have moved on, and I have my kids and I. So, bye, billionaire ex-husband". In an instant, Maria's life changed; the man she thought loved her, Ethan Woods never loved her in the first place. He was only with her to pass the time and to gain his inheritance. After the 3-year contract ended she was hoping that the unborn child would bring them together and he would love her again. Still, she got the shock of her life when she got back home to give him the good news; there professing his love for another woman was Ethan, and the woman was no other person but her cousin, who was his college sweetheart but kept it away from Maria. The truth was that they had been dating secretly without her knowing. As if that wasn't enough, he threw the divorce papers at her and asked her to sign them. Maria tried to leave because there was no use staying back. But Ethan and Susan couldn't let her; she had to suffer all through her days of pregnancy until she gave birth through forced labor. Her heart shattered into thousands of irreplaceable pieces when her aunt told her that Ethan had finally married her cousin Susan. With the pain and betrayal in her heart, she left the city never to be seen again.”
