Cecelia Anderson, a woman who was abandoned by Tariq Lane and had been played with by other men—a pre-owned good in other men's eyes. Though she appeared to be the darling heiress of the Andersons, she was actually not welcomed in her own family. This woman had even borne a child for Tariq Lane, and it was with such a woman that Wayne Adams eventually married.
When Evelina heard the news, she thought someone was playing a joke on her.
Not until she confirmed the truth did she comfort herself, thinking that even if he should get a divorce, it would be over quickly.
So, after two years of marriage, she thought the time was right to win back the man who should have been hers.
But when he saw her, he didn't recognize her, and it was only after she introduced herself that he remembered who she was. He had even forgotten about the fact that they used to date, let alone knowing that she still loved him and had never changed.
