First came Fiona, then Isabella.

Fiona had Waylon backing her, so she walked away untouched.

But Isabella had no one. She had no parents to lean on. Quinton was off having a hot fling with Winnie, dodging Isabella’s divorce papers and hiding overseas for years.

Henry started just curious, but it didn’t take long for him to cross the line.

He even dreamed about Isabella.

But she was proud and cold. No way would she ever fall for a womanizer like him.

Even when she was struggling mentally, she still shoved him away.

Paula had watched him get rejected again and again. And honestly, she took pleasure in his embarrassment.

But the worst was when Henry chased Isabella so recklessly that she tumbled down the stairs and cracked her head.

Paula was disgusted.

She finally lost it, but not at Henry, who disgusted her. Instead, she turned on Isabella, the one being harassed.

She was miserable.

The young Sterling was like an angry wolf pup, thrashing against the adults pinning him down. He couldn’t save his mother, but the way he glared at Paula, like fire smoldering underground, was unforgettable.

All her pain, anger, and bitterness poured out on people weaker than her.

When Paula was forced into marrying the Romeros, she had been restless and miserable. But after that, she strangely found herself calmer.

She told herself it was survival of the fittest. That was just life in the Romeros.

“Enough!”

Claudia cut Paula off, unable to listen any longer.

“You think being not the first or not the worst erases what you did?

“You make it sound like you were dragged into it, like others pushed you. But those are just

excuses.”

Her eyes blazed. She wanted to hit Paula the way Paula once hit Isabella and Sterling.

“You never turned on the ones who truly betrayed you because you’re a coward. You couldn’t go against your family, who sold you out for their own benefits. And no matter how disgusting Henry was, you didn’t dare fight him because you wouldn’t give up the power and
