In The Heat Of Betrayal

Alexandra and Jerald often neglected their daughter Bella due to their busy work schedules. During a meeting one day, Alexandra suddenly received a distress call from Bella. It was then that she discovered her husband had taken his first love, Dayna, and her son out for a day of fun, leaving their daughter locked inside the car. The engine was off, the air was stagnant, and the scorching heat made the situation dire. In a panic, Alexandra tried to reach Jerald by phone to find out where he was, but he accused her of being jealous and lying, refusing to disclose his location and eventually stopped answering her calls. Desperate, she returned home to seek help from Jerald's mother, only to have her reveal her true, uncaring nature. Jerald's mother had long been indifferent to her granddaughter, secretly hoping for an accident so that Alexandra could have another child—a grandson to continue the family legacy. With no other choice, Alexandra continued her search outside. On the road, she spotted a car identical to Jerald's and smashed the window, only to realise it was the wrong vehicle, which sent her emotions spiralling out of control.

Throughout her frantic search, Alexandra reached out to Jerald's secretary and friends, but none could provide his whereabouts. Jerald, irritated by her persistence, gave Alexandra a false location, wasting precious time. Eventually, she managed to track Jerald's car, only to find that he hadn't taken it. Overwhelmed, she began to see things. Fortunately, Alexandra's secretary, Brodie, located Dayna's car. They rushed over and found Bella, who had already fainted from heatstroke. Tragically, it was too late to save her, and Bella passed away. This devastating event left Alexandra utterly disillusioned with Jerald, leading her to file for divorce.
