Orphaned Ava was raised by the powerful Moretti family. In her first life, Dante Romano chose her over her adoptive sister Isabella, who loved him; Isabella died, and Ava's adoptive brother Luca killed Dante and pushed Ava off a cliff. Reborn on the night Dante chooses his bride, Ava gives Isabella the ruby pendant Dante once left her, so that he proposes to Isabella instead. But Luca has been reborn too. When Isabella vanishes before the engagement, he blames Ava, and as the Morettis begin to doubt her, he drags her through a brutal search.
