Episode 1

My name is Anny Lamber, and I have a twin sister. Our mother passed away when we were born, and our father committed suicide when we were 10 years old due to infidelity by his new partner. This left us under the care of a nanny and entitled to an inheritance that our mother left us along with a guardian. When we turned 18, we were given the inheritance, which included a company. For this reason, I studied business administration and took over the reins at the age of 29, being the oldest as I was born before my sister, who is a model named Anna Lamber. Unlike me, she is very ambitious, cold, calculated, and lacking emotions. This change occurred when we received the inheritance. Our nanny passed away when we turned 25, leaving us alone. I have no one but her.

My days at the company are very exhausting. Our business is dedicated to e-commerce and cloud computing services at all levels. It is the largest company in selling goods online. When I arrive at the mansion, there is complete silence because my sister travels the world in pursuit of her dream to become the most famous model. She changes boyfriends all the time, and I always see her making headlines in magazines. Luckily, nobody knows about me except for the employees of the company. I have no social life; I live to work. When I come home, the staff awaits me with dinner, and I go to sleep. Yes, my life is boring, but I have to push the company forward. I don't have a boyfriend, but I dream of getting married and starting a family. Hopefully, I will achieve that someday.

Anna

My name is Anna Lamber, and I am 29 years old. I am a model, but age is catching up with me. I haven't found a millionaire man who would make me the most famous model yet. I have had boyfriends, but none of them took me seriously because they say I am a walking fortune due to my personality. I am vain and proud. Currently, I am dating a wealthy Italian man, and I am here in Italy. I managed to get pregnant by him, as I am three months pregnant. I came from the United States to Italy to demand that he marries me. I have a twin sister who looks just like me. We are twins, but she is very dull. She works in a company and has a boring life. She works while I enjoy the money. That is how it should be. Our mother left us the inheritance when she died, and somebody has to work. That somebody won't be me.

When I arrived in Italy, I called Franco Maccino to let him know that I was staying at one of his hotels to share the news. He arrived, and when he saw me, I handed him the envelope. His reaction wasn't what I expected, and I got upset by what he said. He told me that we were going to have a baby, but he couldn't marry me because he was engaged and is going to marry Nicoletta Ricci. Therefore, I will have to be his lover and live in the shadows with my child. He walked away elegantly, leaving me annoyed and frustrated. I have decided to go back to the United States and have an abortion. I am not going to have a child and be a single mother.

Santino Maccino

My name is Santino, I am 30 years old and I have an older brother named Franco, who is 5 years older than me. Our parents are Italians. I am currently waiting for my older brother at his office, but he is not here, which surprises me as he is usually very responsible, just like me. I have my own company and I am not married, nor do I have any plans to do so. However, my brother is engaged to a beautiful woman, but despite that, he is involved with another woman who is beautiful but manipulative, self-interested, and ruthless. I know this because I have observed them together for months and my brother has confided in me. I see him enter the office looking furious. I greet him and ask what's wrong. He pours two glasses of whisky, and I know it must be something serious for him to drink it before speaking. He drinks it in one gulp and tells me that Anna is several months pregnant. I take a sip and ask him what he plans to do. Our parents are going to be furious. He replies that he will keep it a secret for now, and after the baby is born, he will acknowledge it and break the news to our parents and to Nicoletta after they are married. I sigh, touch his shoulder, and tell him that I will support him, and then I leave. Little did I know, this would be the last time I would see my brother alive.

Nicoletta Ricci

Today, I agreed to have lunch with my fiancé. When I arrived at his office, I bumped into my brother-in-law, who was leaving. I greeted him, mentioning that I was there to go to lunch at a restaurant a few blocks away. We said goodbye, and I went inside. When I reached Franco, he seemed a little preoccupied. I greeted him with a kiss on his lips and asked if something was wrong. He responded that everything was fine, grabbed his coat, and we left for lunch. As we were driving towards the restaurant, his phone rang, and he answered in English. I don't speak the language, but I noticed him speeding up. I asked him to slow down, but he told me he had to go to one of his hotels to solve a problem. As we continued driving a few kilometers, a truck crossed our path, and we collided. Everything turned black.

Anna

I have made up my mind to return to the United States, but before I do, I called Franco to tell him that I am going to abort his child because he refused to marry me. He needs to forget about me. He replied that he is coming to talk to me and that he is with Nicoletta, which is why he spoke in English. I told him to forget about me and our unborn child. He asked where I was, and I told him I was at his hotel. He hung up. I am waiting here for him to decide between her and me. I left him some messages on his phone.

After a few minutes, I turned on the television and saw the news announcing that the businessman Franco had been in a car accident, and he and his fiancée had died. Tears fell from my eyes; my Franco couldn't be dead. I packed my suitcase and went to the airport to leave for the United States. I cannot stay here knowing that I am partially to blame for the accident.

Santino

I am at home with my parents when my phone rings. When I answer, I receive the most painful news. It was one of the clinics announcing my brother's and his fiancée's death. I couldn't believe it; I had just seen them both not long ago. I fell to the ground; how am I going to tell my parents? They approached me, asking what was wrong. With little strength in my voice, I told them that Franco was dead.

We all went to the scene; my mother couldn't stop crying. The driver took us in the state we were in since none of us were in any condition to drive. Upon arrival, I entered to identify the bodies, and it was indeed them. They handed me their belongings, and there was his phone. I kept it in my pocket and went to prepare everything for the funeral ceremony. While doing so, I wondered what happened. I hired specialists to investigate if the vehicle had been tampered with, but no, it was not a murder, just an accident. That was when I questioned where they were going, considering they were supposed to go to lunch, recalling my conversation with Nicoletta.
