My life has been 19-years full of unsystematic events that lead me to be exactly where I am now. I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Maria and Marco Lima. After my father's death, we had no choice to but to move to my mother's hometown of Miami, Florida. When my father died a little piece of me and my mother soul died.

My mother changed after my father's death, and our move to Miami only made things worse. My mother is a drop dead gorgeous woman. Once we moved to Miami she began to date the most abusive men, and would continuously be in toxic relationships. I think my mother was desperately trying to fill the void that my father left in her heart after his death. Sometimes that would leave her being cheated on constantly by the men she dated. I, from a young age, promised myself that I would never be the kind of woman who stays with a man after he cheats on her.

Living in Miami I attended Hialeah Senior High and I graduated when I was 16-years-old. After I graduated high school I enrolled at Miami University to get my associates degree in business. I attended college with my best friend Maria. She and I had so much in common when we met in middle school when I was 11. She was a Cuban Immigrant and I am a Brazilian girl. We both couldn't speak a lick of English so we had ESL (English as a Second Language) classes together and we became best friends.

One day Maria and I were invited to a college frat party down in Coral Gables. At first, I was nervous to go because I don't like going to parties surrounded by people I don't know. But I'm so glad that I went to the party looking my absolute best because that was the night when I met him...

Him being Jimmy. I never forget how we met. I remember I was standing in the corner alone probably looking like a scared sheep. I remember turning my head in his direction and we locked eyes and he shot me his one million dollar smile. We walked over to me and we started talking, he got my number and the rest is history.

Jimmy and I have been together for three years now, and so much has happened. Jimmy has gotten drafted into the NFL about a year ago and is now the quarterback for the Miami Dolphins. I at the moment am about to launch my lingerie company Victoria's Secret. So Jimmy and I are both winning, and I am so proud of both him and me and nothing is going to ruin this for us.

"Have a good night guys!" I yell as I leave walking toward the elevator of what is now Victoria's Secret main office and where we come up for the designs of the clothing.

I rush to my car, and before I start it I check the time to make sure I'm not too late to start dinner for Jimmy and me. It's only 4:30 so I have plenty of time. Cooking breakfast and dinner for Jimmy and me is something I do every day because growing up, that's what my mother did for my father, so it's something I do for Jimmy.

As I pull up to our apartment building which is done on South Beach. I park my car and get into the elevator. As I'm walking down the hallway place an order with Instacart to et the ingredients I needed to make dinner. But once I get to my apartment door, something in my spirit told me to just turn the handle.

Now, this may seem like something that isn't that serious, but Jimmy is very anal about keeping the apartment secure because we had a break in at our last apartment. As I slowly open the door to my apartment, I take a few steps in and I stop the moment I see Jimmy's clothes on the floor and a woman's bra.

My heart dropped because I knew that this bra was way to small to be mine. So who's was it? As I made my way to the bedroom something told me to burst the door open like I was the kool-aid man and when I did, my heart shattered into a million pieces.
