The pain of betrayal and profound hurt made Kristina Dean burn with fury. The two betrayers, Kendal Chavaz - her boyfriend and her close friend Martha Taylor, rightfully earned the title "despicable man and woman" for their affair. However, Kristina did not collapse in her agony. She realized that if she couldn't be Kendal's wife, then becoming his aunt was not a bad option. Thanks to a marriage contract between two families, Kristina became the wife of Ethan Chavaz, Kendal's uncle.
Living in this world, everyone has their own destiny, their own life, and their own story; no two people are alike, and no one can interfere in another's fate.
For example, Kristina Dean, whose family was neither of noble lineage nor wealthy enough to break walls with their riches, but in return, her mother and siblings loved her dearly. Since her father passed away, her mother had worked hard to raise her and her siblings to maturity. Now, at twenty-four, Kristina Dean was able to show her gratitude.
But life isn't always a smooth ride!
Having just graduated from university with a degree in teaching, she hasn't found a job yet, so she started tutoring many students to make ends meet. It was during this time she uncovered a shocking secret!
Her boyfriend of nine years, Kendall Chavez, and her good friend, Martha Taylor, were having an affair, not only that, but they also intended to harm her, pushing her into the role of a betrayer and openly coming together.
When Kendall Chavez was caught in bed, frantically "pushing the plow" with Martha Taylor, he could only look at her and then say:
"Kristina, I'm really sorry... But you've been too reserved, it made me feel bored."
Then Martha clung to Kendall's hand and said:
"Kristina, don't blame me. If there's anyone to blame, it's because you didn't manage your boyfriend well. Besides, I'm pregnant now, and we will soon get married."
Kristina sneered, then stared at Martha and said indifferently:
"I thought you were better than this, turns out you just wanted to wear my old shoes, huh? Fine, consider it a charity from me, keep him tight!"
Martha and Kendall, hearing this, were furious, especially Kendall, a young master from a wealthy family. He stepped forward wanting to teach Kristina a lesson, but she was not someone to be bullied. He had barely raised his hand when she grabbed it, twisted it backward, and whispered:
"Kendall, did you forget I learned martial arts? What's it going to be, you want to hit me now? Want a one-on-one? Kristina is not afraid of anyone, you know!"
When Martha saw Kendall being restrained, she wanted to rush to his aid, but Kristina forcefully dragged the cheating man aside, causing him to cry out in pain. Finally, she glared at Martha menacingly and said:
"Martha, remember you're pregnant. Don't make me have to take action against a pregnant woman! A child born of an affair should come into this world, you know. I've heard that a child born of an affair often looks a lot like their father. I hope you two have a long and happy life together, give birth to a precious son, and don't split up, okay? To avoid ruining others' lives! No hard feelings!"
After giving them a piece of her mind, Kristina kicked Kendall, sending him rolling on the floor. Then she dusted off her hands and walked away with dignity.
But Kristina hadn't expected that outside the room, not only were Kendall's parents there but also another man, who, judging by his appearance, seemed to be over thirty. To stand on equal footing with Edmund Chavaz - Kendall's father, he could only be the legendary uncle.
Kristina wasn't too concerned; right now, she just didn't want to have anything to do with this house anymore, it was such a nuisance!
Naturally, with such a big incident occurring, Kristina couldn't stay at the Chavaz house to continue teaching, so she had to ask Edmund Chavaz for permission to resign. But unexpectedly, Kendall's sister and her student - Maegan Chavaz grabbed her hand, whispering softly:
"Teacher Kristina, won't you teach Maegan anymore? I really like Teacher Kristina, can't you stay?"
At this, the girl's mother also said:
"That's right, Kristina, even though things have become like this with you and Kendall... But Maegan really likes you, if you don't mind..."
"I do mind, I'm afraid I won't be able to restrain myself and might end up killing Kendall, so I ask for permission not to continue teaching Maegan."
After saying this, Kristina wanted to grab her bag and leave, but suddenly, the man who had been silent until now spoke up:
"If it's inconvenient here, you could bring Maegan to her grandfather's house. He is ill now, and having Maegan visit might cheer him up."
Hearing this, Kristina was somewhat surprised; so, he really was Kendall's youngest uncle? That was surprising because Kristina had heard Kendall mention this uncle before, but she had never met him. She assumed since Kendall was already so grown up, this uncle must be over forty, maybe even past fifty. Unexpectedly, he was still such a young man.
Finally, Edmund and Louisa agreed for Maegan to go to the Chavaz family's estate in the suburbs. At this point, Louisa Rivera looked at her, saying:
"So, it's settled then? From now on, you can come to the Chavaz estate to teach Maegan, and we will limit Kendall and that girl's visits there."
Although she really wanted to refuse, with such a generous salary, how could she?
And so, she and Kendall finally broke up, not in the happiest of circumstances. When her mother - Lorelei Meadows - heard the news of her daughter breaking up with her long-term boyfriend, she was worried, afraid that her daughter would be saddened.
But... Kristina didn't seem too sad, not only that, but she also started to work frantically to earn money, when Kaylee Peters - her sister-in-law - asked:
"Kristina, why do you want to earn so much money?"
"My life now only has three priorities: one is my mother, two is myself, and three is money. Without earning money, how can I support my mother and myself?"
Kaylee and Lorelei looked at each other, then she softly said:
"Is it really over between you and Kendall? Moreover, your twenty-year friendship with Martha... just ends like that?"
Kristina's hand, which was preparing lesson plans, suddenly stopped for a moment, then she smiled faintly and said softly:
"Martha is pregnant... Compared to our family, the Taylor family is still much better, and now the two of them are about to get married. It's only been nine years, if it ends, then let it end."
Despite Kristina saying this, Lorelei knew that her daughter was very sad. Nine years, that's not a short period at all, it's like their entire youth, to suddenly say it ends... Who wouldn't be heartbroken?
