In that moment, I suddenly smiled.

...

Later, at his birthday party, I overheard his friends: "That's Jerry's nanny. His real mom works overseas."

Then I opened my eyes and found mys...

I was five ye...

I died once.

In that moment when the out-of-control truck slammed into me, as I felt the poisoned blood flowing through my veins in that hospital bed, I saw everyone's true face—my beloved husband Marco, Lucia whom I'd treated like a sister, and that so-called sacred, untouchable Italian family.

Second—I have ALS. Two years to live, maybe less. But when his seductive ex-girlfriend returns promising a "cure" ...
