On the day they arrived, Ethan announced publicly: Whoever delivers his first heir will become the future mistress of the Gibson family. Greed grew faster than desire. Within just a few months, several women announced their pregnancies with great pride. However, they and their unborn children were thrown into the ocean and fed to sharks. The reason was simple: they had been found to be involved with other men. Every night, the screams coming from the harbor kept me awake. I was terrified, because I had also had a single accidental encounter with Ethan, and I was now pregnant. When the day finally came and I saw what I had delivered, everything went dark before my eyes. Those mistresses who were fed to the sharks had at least carried human babies. I had given birth to three tiny puppies.

Mia Sullivan, a C-list actress, entered a sham marriage with Julian Ethan, heir to the Ethan family, under an arranged contract. For two years, they never met—until a chance one-night stand left Mia pregnant. Determined to escape her greedy stepmother Janet's exploitation, Mia filed for divorce and gave birth to her daughter Winnie, struggling to raise her alone in the slums. Six years later, Mia juggled parttime jobs on film sets and at a mall while caring for Winnie. The sweet and innocent girl one day crossed paths with Mrs. Ethan, who, struck by Winnie's uncanny resemblance to Julian, secretly ordered a DNA test. The results confirmed Winnie as the Ethan heir's biological daughter, and Mrs. Ethan launched a citywide search for her granddaughter. Meanwhile, on set, Mia was relentlessly bullied by top actress Valeria Garcia. Winnie was locked inside a prop box, nearly suffocated, and later diagnosed with leukemia.

"Please, stop pushing. I can't take this anymore." The concert venue is packed tight. A man behind me keeps pressing into my backside. I'm wearing a mini skirt today with a thong underneath, and it only makes the situation worse. He lifts my skirt and presses himself against my hips. As the atmosphere heats up, someone in front of me slams into me, and I stumble back a step. My body stiffens as I feel like something just slid inside me.
