The separation left them both bitter as they tried to move on. Years later, Catalina has hardened into a formidable attorney in New York, advising young startups. She's convinced herself that love and marriage aren't in the cards and success was what she owed herself. That is, until Luca Ricci captures her interest. After some careful investigation, she discovers Luca is Giancarlo's relative, a connection she had no knowledge of before. The revelation sparks a fire in Catalina, fueling her to concoct a cunning plan of revenge against Giancarlo for deserting her all those years ago.
