Episode 1

My name is Valentina Roth. I am 27 years old and a model. Beyond that, I own a fashion house and have my own clothing and cosmetics lines branded with my name...

My best friend is Olivia Ponce. She's a year older than me and an accomplished lawyer.

She has also represented me in contract matters with other brands or designers.

By the way, I should mention she detests my boyfriend, Fabian. We've been together for three years, and we're about to get married...

Well, as long as everything goes smoothly.

My mother left me as a teenager, leaving me in the care of my father, a man who passed away from cancer a few years later.

...----------------...

I am Fabian Harris, the boyfriend, or rather the fiance of Valentina. Truth is, I don’t really love her; I'm just with her because she's famous and I'm not as much. It's not her money I’m after, as I couldn't even get 5 dollars out of her. But being by her side, or in her circle, makes you get noticed.

Just so that you understand better, I work as a model.

I'm 30 years old. My parents died when I was 20 and I've been on my own ever since.

I’ve been with many women, even those called "Sugar Mommies." But the one who's constant in my bed is my lover, Susan.

...----------------...

I’m Danilo Miller, 32 years old and a Petroleum Businessman. It’s a family thing, from generation to generation it has always passed to the firstborn male, just as it happened with my father, my grandfather, and my great-grandfather. The same will occur with my son, if he accepts. None of us were forced.

I’m engaged but I don’t know how to shake off this woman; I’m not interested in her, I don’t even find her attractive. It was a foolish agreement between my father and hers, supposedly for the good of the business. Which business? That's my question, because ours is doing exceptionally well.

So far, I’ve managed to avoid that arrangement. I've been engaged for two years without setting a wedding date, and honestly, I’ll do whatever I can to avoid marrying.

I am Susan Wilson, 30 years old and engaged to Danilo. I know he doesn’t love me, and the feeling is mutual. I only want power, money, to save my father from bankruptcy.

The old man is a compulsive gambler, owing millions of dollars to scores of people, and they've come to me to collect his debts, but I don’t have a dime.

I still don't understand how he managed to fool my fiance's father, as they believe the merger of our businesses after our wedding will be beneficial. But it won’t happen if Danilo finds out the truth.

On a different note, I must confess that I am the lover of Fabian Harris, the handsome model. I can’t claim I’m in love with him, but he's very skilled in bed, it's a pity he has no real power, relying on his poor girlfriend for work contracts because he can’t manage to get them on his own.

I studied classical dance and never got the chance to dance, as my father broke my foot after an audition I had. That day, I missed a date with another man, one who would pay off my father’s debts; but he got tired of waiting for me and left, refusing to see us ever again.
