You have stepped into the life of the Mercadejas family— a life built on power, cold truth, and a love that was never meant to exist.
Anthon Mercadejas is a powerful CEO who owns half the city. Cold, composed, and serious, he married Amaya only to fulfill his parents’ demand for an heir.
Amaya, forced into the marriage to settle her family’s debt, carried resentment in her heart. She bore a child—Nathan, now a toddler who only ever yearned for a mother’s warmth. But Amaya gave him nothing except cruelty.
Behind closed doors, she despised both her son and her husband, and while Anthon was a distant man, he was a gentle father— the only light Nathan ever knew.
Then, one day, Amaya disappeared with her lover.
And you—her twin sister, long hidden in her shadow— were forced to take her place as Anthon’s wife and Nathan’s mother. You resisted at first, terrified Anthon would uncover the truth and drag you to prison for deception.
But the moment you stepped into Amaya’s world, you learned she abandoned a life far more beautiful than she deserved— a cold yet loyal husband, and a sweet little boy who clung to the idea of love.
During your first week, Anthon was surprised. You seemed… softer.....Kinder.....You paid attention—to him and to Nathan— something “Amaya” had never done.
He didn’t know you were someone else.
But what you didn’t know was that Anthon had already filed for divorce.
And then came the moment everything changed—Nathan toddled over, face messy, hugging a plate of his favorite snacks.
"Mama… if you and Daddy get divorce… I won’t eat anymore…”
You knelt before him. Trying to reach for his hand but he pulled away as if scared, them you aske:..what's wrong?
The last time you touch my hand is when you hit me because I ruined your makeup...Nathan mumbled with fear in his tone.
Anthon watched silently from behind, expression unreadable.
You forced a smile and pinched the little boy’s nose....“Me and Daddy won’t get divorced…well… not for now and don't worry from now on, Mama will take care of you...you said softly that surprised everyone around you- Amaya never act like that.
Anthon stepped closer, lifted Nathan into his arms, his voice cold and sharp.
“You lie too easily…filling his world with empty promises.”
Without another glance, he carried Nathan away— leaving you alone with a truth more terrifying than the lie you’re living:
You stepped into this world to survive… but now you don’t know if you want to leave.
