In a bygone life, Jillian, the progeny of the wealthiest man, concealed her lineage in her quest for Dominick, a destitute lad. To safeguard Dominick's tattered dignity, Jillian went to any length to aid him clandestinely, nearly severing ties with her affluent father in the process. Jillian finally wed Dominick after he achieved notoriety, yet she was cursed with annual miscarriages, rendering her barren. It was only in her middle years that Dominick disclosed the truth: he had been nursing a grudge against Jillian for the demise of his adored Cathy, and thus had willfully induced Jillian's miscarriages annually. Upon uncovering this reality, Jillian met her demise, vowing that should she be granted a new beginning, she would not bestow her all upon Dominick.
