Stephanie hurried down the stairs when she heard someone insistently knocking on her door, but once it was opened, she found that behind it there was nothing but an envelope with her name written on it placed on the carpet. Inside it there was only a brief. Note containing an address and a message that her husband was cheating on her with another woman, alongside with a photo of her husband with another family. Although at first she wanted to believe.
That it was a joke in very. Bad taste, the intrigue was stronger, so she took her car and went to that place. It was a beautiful house located in a wealthy area of the city where a young woman met her at the door with a small baby in her arms. Is Rodney here? She asked, trying to hide the shock. She was in it, seeing how much the creature resembled her husband. No. And who are you? The woman asked, looking her up and down. I’m his wife.
Rodney has told me for a long. Time that he doesn’t love you anymore. And that’s the only reason he’s still. With you is because you refuse to give him a divorce. So I don’t know why you came here. You have no business here. Stephanie couldn’t believe her ears, but out of respect for the innocent little girl that wasn’t to blame for what was happening.
She took a deep breath and contained her anger. Don’t worry, of course I’m going to give him a divorce and from today you can be sure that this guy will be all yours, she exclaimed before walking off. And the lover, without saying anything, just looked at her and smiled. Overwhelmed by a whirlwind of emotions, Stephanie.
Hurried down the sidewalk to her car. But she was so overwhelmed that she didn’t notice an old woman walking in the opposite direction and bumped into her daughter. What’s wrong with you? Excuse me, ma’am, I didn’t really see you. Excuse me, are you all right? The old woman only smiled and nodded before following her path. Dismayed.
With no one to talk to, the devastated woman did nothing but wander around in her car until she finally found the courage to return home and unmask that infidel Stephanie was perplexed when she found a group of policemen in front of her door. So, thinking that something very serious had. Happened to her still husband or to her house, she ran out of the car, very scared. There she is. Rodney exclaimed, appearing behind them, causing her to sigh in relief. And then two policemen walked in her direction. Ms. Stephanie Ironheart?
Yes, it’s me. You’re under the arrest for the murder. Of a Katharina Ivanov. You have the right to remain silent as anything you say could be used against you. But what are you talking about? Who’s that woman? I haven’t heard anyone. You went to see her at her. House and now you don’t know who she is. How are you able to kill her. Stephanie, how are you able to get so far away? Rodney yelled with tears in his eyes. But she was fine. I didn’t do anything to her. This is a mistake. There must be a misunderstanding refused to listen to her. Rodney just turned his back on her.
And then she, with her hands handcuffed. Was taken to the patrol car and taken to the station. While desperate and very confused, she did. Nothing but cry, thinking that all that must be a great nightmare. Locked in the dark cell, Stephanie began to recall her childhood. She had been orphaned when she was. Just seven years old, so her memories of her parents were vague and very few since then.
Since she had no more family, her custody was handed over to Frederick Stone, who was then the family lawyer, who offered to take charge of her custody until she came of age. Months later, Frederick sent the little girl to a prestigious boarding school where he made sure that she was well educated and lacked nothing, making use of the large fortune that she had inherited from her parents,
which he was in charge of administering during all that time and took a portion that he considered his payment for his work as Guardian of the girl, she was once old enough to be responsible for herself and the huge inheritance she had received from her parents. Stephanie could not get out of her.
Astonishment upon discovering the amount of goods and money that belonged to her. Her lawyer at the time offered to. Help her manage everything, as he’d been doing until then, but although she turned out to be very grateful, she turned down his request as she learned a lot at boarding school, and she could do it on her own. Although he did not expect it, the. Lawyer accepted her decision, but he maintained a friendship with her and invited her to every celebration he held at his home.
Precisely in one of these, it was. Where she met Rodney, who is the lawyer’s youngest son and to date had lived abroad with his mother, which is why she had never seen him before. By that time, the young girl, thanks to the alliance made with Willow, her best friend from boarding school, had invested part of her fortune in a promising factory that had positioned her as one of the richest women in the region. And was giving her first steps in.
The world of acting, so she did not lack suitors. However, it was the lawyer’s handsome son. Who managed to dazzle her to such an extent that one year they were already on their way to the altar. Willow never agreed to this Union since. She thought that the lawyer and her son were nothing more than opportunistic who only wanted to take advantage of her. But Stephanie never paid attention to her.
For many years, Rodney did nothing but. Live off her money. She loved him so much that she didn’t care, and even she tolerated the fact that he didn’t want to have.Children, even though being a mother was her greatest dream. And now it turns out that he even had a baby with another woman. She thought. Returning to the present, Rodney and her. Father not only turned their backs on.
Her, but also made sure that no lawyer was willing to help her. So she had to settle for one assigned to her by the state who, in addition to constantly insinuating that she was hiding the truth from him, not making the slightest attempt to defend her, you have no Salvation. Their neighbors testified that they had seen.
You leave Miss Anastasia’s residence. Even a poor old lady claimed that. You pushed her on the sidewalk and you were in a hurry. Your prints are on the doorbell and. Your shoe marks on the carpet. She was the mistress of your husband. What greater reason than that to have you attack her? Absolutely everything points to you. It’s best if you plead guilty. That way, at least you’ll get your sentence reduced. It was what he told her every time she insisted on finding a way to prove her innocence, even though it.
Caused her to be sentenced to 35. Years in prison, Stephanie flatly refused to declare herself the author of that crime that she did not commit. She locked up in that depressing prison. Surrounded by real criminals, and seeing how. Her life was slowly being consumed in such an unfair way in that horrible place, the unfortunate woman took refuge. And the only thing that misfortune could not take away from her her passion for her art, acting and painting workshops were the first that she was able to choose. But it wasn’t until they were all.
Asked to dance for a beautiful piece. Of music during a performance by the theater group that her most impressive passionate came to light. The surprising way in which Stephanie seemed to narrate a story to the rhythm. Of the music with harmonious movements of her body perplexed and amazed all those who observed her. And that was how every week they. Began to ask her to appear in the prison yard, where not only her companions but also many of the officers and even Jackson, the head of the prison, stopped to contemplate her.
The latter was so fascinated by her. Talent that one day after reading her file, he decided to interview her to learn a little more about her story. While his instinct told him that a woman like her would hardly have been capable of committing such a crime, he. Was a young man, but with vast. Experience in dealing with criminals. So it was enough for him to hear her, to tell her the versi on of events, to know that she was really innocent. I know you’ve told me the truth.
And I swear I’ll do my best to help you. But it won’t be easy. At least one piece of evidence is needed, a witness who can back you. Up, what you say with something really strong. Although Stephanie could see his goodwill in. His eyes, she didn’t put much hope. In it because she was convinced that this would be impossible. By this time, her best friend Willow. Had finally returned after spending more than.
A year volunteering in a rural area. On the other side of the world. Knowing what had happened, she ran to visit her and also decided to get. Her out at any cost. She contacted her attorney so that with Jackson’s help, the case will be reopened. After months of searching unsuccessfully for a. Way to prove her innocence, Jackson decided. To go visit the crime scene one more time in hope of finding something they had previously ignored.
The residence was now occupied by Anastasia’s. Parents, who had been left in charge of their granddaughter these seeing her plaque, received it without protest. Despite checking every corner, the man didn’t. Find anything that would serve, or at least that’s what he believed when he was about to leave when he noticed the existence of a small camera in the girl’s room. So that’s what it was, and we’ve been wondering for a long time what.
The heck was that thing sticking out of the ceiling? Exclaimed the old man, who, like his wife, was not very familiar with this type of technology, and for this very. Reason he didn’t mind at all when. Jackson told them that they should take it to review its contents. Days later, the sound of the bars in her cell brought Stephanie out of.
Her sleep and in a state of. Shock, she must have taken a few minutes to assimilate what they had just told her. You are free, Ms. Stephanie. Outside the prison, Willow and Jackson were. Waiting for her with a huge smile. Thank you, she exclaimed through tears, hugging them both. And then, before she had finished asking.
They showed her the snippet of footage from that day that Jackson pulled from the camera, in which the identity of the real killer was clearly exposed. Although only the voices could be heard on the tape, it was shown that after her brief visit, Stephanie left without there being more than an exchange of words between her and her husband’s lover. Rodney and his father arrived just moments later. Knowing what happened, both men lost their minds and started arguing with Anastasia. But how does it happen if she divorces me?
We’ll be left penniless, Rodney exclaimed. You’re a fool, you just threw away. What I’ve worked on for a lifetime. Then his father shouted, bursting in anger. The blow he gave her was so strong that Anastasia didn’t even have the. Power to scream before falling without vital signs. In a matter of seconds, father and son improvised the Macabre plan, and that’s. How Rodney started screaming and called the.
Police, saying that he had found the mother of his daughter dead, who was his mistress and had just seen his wife drive away from the place in the car. Regardless of their power and influence, there was no way the father and son could evade the price of their crimes and free themselves from spending the rest of their lives behind bars.
On her part, Stephanie, willing to take advantage of her life after feeling that she would never get it back, took her business back and enrolled in a dance Academy to fully explore the wonderful passion she had discovered. After being friends for several years.
