Astrid had given up on winning over the mean guys in school, so she set her sights on Diego, a wealthy and handsome young man who was already engaged to her sister Esmery. But Astrid didn't care; she was determined to seduce Diego and win his heart, no matter the cost.
Meanwhile, Esmery returned from her morning run, feeling elated. Her nanny, Mia, greeted her with a nutritious meal and asked why she looked so happy.
Esmery shared the news that Diego would announce her as his fiancée at the upcoming party. Mia was overjoyed and suggested Esmery go shopping for a dress or treat herself to a spa day. Esmery declined, opting to use her father's black card to pamper herself instead.
As Esmery prepared to leave, she encountered Astrid in the parking lot. Astrid's face lit up with a fake smile, and Esmery noticed her sister's awkward demeanor.
Astrid mentioned her grueling dance rehearsals, hinting at a more intimate encounter with Diego. Esmery picked up on the underlying tone but chose to ignore it.
What Astrid didn't reveal was that she had been secretly meeting with Diego, using her charms to seduce him. Astrid knew that Diego was engaged to Esmery, but she didn't care. She was determined to claim Diego for herself, even if it meant hurting her own sister.
As they hugged, Esmery detected Diego's perfume on Astrid's skin and spotted hickeys on her neck. The realization hit her like a ton of bricks, and she recoiled in shock. Astrid, oblivious to Esmery's reaction, bid her farewell. Esmery turned to leave, her eyes scanning Astrid's dress, where she noticed a cuff link caught in the fabric.
Astrid's plan was working, and she knew it. She had Diego right where she wanted him, and soon, she would be the one he announced as his fiancée, not Esmery. The thought sent a thrill through her, and she couldn't wait to see the look on Esmery's face when she found out.
Esmery leaned against the car, stunned. She finally understood Akilah's warnings and the reasons behind Astrid's late nights and Diego's endorsement contract. The person she thought loved her didn't actually care.
Astrid's snide comment echoed in her mind, but surprisingly, Esmery felt relieved, not heartbroken. She wondered why she felt happy about Diego's infidelity with Astrid.
Esmery got into her car and drove to Damien's mansion. Damien, her best friend and confidant, opened the door. "Hey, love!" he exclaimed.
Esmery rushed into his arms, tears streaming down her face. "He cheated on me," she sobbed. Damien carried her to his room, offering her water and a listening ear.
Esmery recounted the entire story, but Damien's neutral reaction puzzled her. "You knew, didn't you?" she asked.
Damien nodded. "I wanted you to find out for yourself."
Esmery's eyes sparkled with determination. "How did you discover the truth?"
Damien explained that he had hacked into the surveillance cameras in Diego's office and the hotel rooms he booked.
Esmery's eyes gleamed. "Are the videos still available?"
Damien hesitated. "I don't want you to get hurt again. It's a sex video."
Esmery's response sent a chill down Damien's spine. "That's exactly what I want."
Damien led the way to the hacking room, unsure what Esmery had planned.
