I was a top student exempted from tuition fees because of my academic excellence, while he was the wealthy heir whose family had donated a building to the school.
Our worlds could not have been more different, and we had no reason to cross paths.
Until one day, Edgar approached me and offered to pay me to tutor him.
I thought he was joking, but after that, he changed. He started paying attention in class and studying hard.
When I asked him why had changed dramatically, he said, "I don't want to disappoint you."
The summer breeze tousled his hair and, in doing so, stirred my heart.
And so, Edgar and I gradually grew closer.
We studied together, did homework together, and made plans for the future together.
The Mckay family looked down on me because of my humble background, and they never liked our frail children either.
Around that time, Edgar's company ran into trouble.
To prove my love to him, I handed over the patent for the special heart medication that my team and I had developed.
That groundbreaking patent made him a giant in the industry, unstoppable in his success.
With that, I retired from the spotlight and settled into the role of a devoted wife and mother.
I named our son Osvaldo and our daughter Shania, hoping they would live their lives in peace and happiness.
I was willing to give up my career, endure the Mckay family's contempt, and even turn a blind eye to Edgar's growing distance.
As long as my children could grow up safely and happily, I was willing to sacrifice everything.
But later, I found out that Edgar had been studying hard back then not for me, but to prove himself to his childhood sweetheart, Carina. He married me out of spite.
Even after our marriage, they remained close.
Not only that, the special medication I had poured my heart into developing became something for him and Carina to share.
They basked in the glory of that success, and it ended up costing my children their lives.
In one night, my entire life collapsed.
I had nothing left to hope for, nothing to care about, and nothing holding me back.
Now, I would make sure those responsible for the deaths of Osvaldo and Shania paid the price!
I changed into a black dress and went alone to the Mckay's house.
Today, the banquet was full of elites from various fields, including some big names usually only seen on television.
