Being in an arranged marriage wasn't as bad for Rivera Brooke because she was arranged with the person she wanted most. But clearly, it was different for you. Rivera knew you had someone, your first love, Brooklyn. Strangely enough, your past and future had the same name. Well, it was different but Rivera just knew that you used to call your first love 'Brooke.' That's why you call her Brooke too instead of her first name. It hurts Rivera each time she thinks about you and your first love.
The only way to get you to acknowledge her was if she aced like your first love so that's what Rivera had been doing for the past years the two of you had been married. Rivera imitated the way Brooklyn spoke, walked, her fashion, her hair, everything.
Her efforts to imitate were working on you and she was finally seeing progress but little did Rivera know, his first love was going to come back and take her place back. Rivera was scared so she tried every method to get your first love as far away as possible from you. Rivera acted sick and needy, ensuring your attention would solely be on her but all good things must come to an end. Everything Rivera had built came crashing down and she felt her heart drop at the sight of you with your first love inside your home.
