What Cecilia didn't know was that Olivia already had a plan in motion.
For Olivia, things seemed to be falling into place. One day, Rodrigo introduced her to his parents and his grandfather.
She noticed that Rodrigo was wealthy — but there was a problem. His grandfather planned to send him abroad to study, which threatened everything she'd been working toward. She needed a plan that would work in her favor.
Olivia was already Rodrigo's girlfriend, and she was waiting for the perfect moment to throw it in Cecilia's face.
She wanted to watch her stepsister's expression when she told her that the man Cecilia loved had chosen her instead. One more victory in a lifetime of taking everything.
She told Rodrigo they couldn't go out openly because her parents still didn't allow her to date — which confused him, since she was the one who kept showing up at his university, including the night they'd first been together.
But he let it go.
She told him everything that happened at home — her problems with Cecilia, the arguments. All of it carefully curated.
But there was one thing ruining Olivia's plans: Rodrigo's grandfather didn't like her. She tried to win him over, but the old man was the only person who saw right through her.
She was convinced that was why he wanted to send Rodrigo abroad.
Olivia devised something big — a plan that would force a marriage. What had started as a game had become real; she'd actually fallen for the man who could change her life. She'd become a multimillionaire, and the grandfather would have to accept her if she got pregnant with Rodrigo's child.
But there was a small problem. Rodrigo always used protection. So she planned to drug him at the party that night and have sex with him without a condom — as many times as possible. Her stepmother had advised her that the timing was right.
That night, she sent one of her friends to slip something into Rodrigo's drink. He drank it, and by the time the party was winding down, he was lying in bed in his fraternity room, drenched in sweat, burning up, the room spinning around him.
His door opened. He grabbed whoever walked in.
He threw her onto the bed and stripped her in seconds. He had her all night long, never realizing the woman beneath him wasn't Olivia — it was Cecilia, who couldn't believe Rodrigo was making love to her.
She'd gone looking for Olivia because they needed her at home urgently — their father had been in an accident. Nothing serious, but she'd gone to find her sister herself, not knowing that Olivia was already at the hospital, frantic about executing her plan with Rodrigo.
After that night, Cecilia's life only got worse. By the next morning, the entire school knew what had happened at the party.
Olivia screamed at Cecilia until she ran out of breath. Cecilia felt guilty the moment she learned Rodrigo's girlfriend was Olivia. She tried to forget it, to let it go. She begged Olivia's forgiveness every time she saw her.
She hadn't heard from Rodrigo since that night.
But a month later, everything changed.
She was pregnant. She couldn't believe it. Olivia's hatred multiplied. Their mother stopped speaking to Cecilia entirely, pretending she didn't exist.
Then one day, out of nowhere, the inevitable happened. Cecilia was summoned to Rodrigo's mansion.
The grandfather received her warmly. His parents did not.
Rodrigo's grandfather was a powerful man, and he forced them to marry. Like it or not, there was a baby involved.
Olivia cried. Not just because the love of her life was marrying her stepsister — she cried because her own plan had backfired. She cursed the moment she'd ordered her friend to drug Rodrigo.
Her plan had been simple: she would climb into bed with him that night, claim she was drunk, and tell him they'd forgotten to use protection.
That was the scheme she'd put together when she learned he'd be sent abroad — a way to chain him to her. She never imagined it would be Cecilia who ended up chained to Rodrigo instead.
But she wouldn't make it easy. Rodrigo loved her, not Cecilia, and she'd keep making her stepsister's life a living hell.
All she had to do was wait for the grandfather to die. Then Rodrigo would divorce Cecilia, and Olivia could enjoy the fortune she'd been planning for since the day she found out who his family was. It wasn't a sacrifice — Rodrigo had everything a woman could want in a man, and the best part was that he loved her.
She'd show up at Rodrigo's place at any hour with any excuse, knowing that between her stepsister and herself, he would always choose her.
She was absolutely certain of it.
And she was right.
But fate has a way of watching people make the wrong choices.
