Nina had once been married to a man named Nicolas Thibault. The pair had two daughters, Josephine and Rose. However, in 2021, Nicolas and Rose were killed in a tragic hit-and-run accident. As Nina says, her life âwas ruined in an instantâ and she was left to raise Josephine on her own.
The truth about Elisa
We also learn that Elisa was connected to Ninaâs tragic story. It turns out, she was behind the wheel.
Elisa sped away from the scene and let someone else take the blame: Marcus Turner, whoâd been having an affair with Elisa. He had hoped that Elisa would leave her husband and marry him, and Elisa was even pregnant with his child at the timeâyes, Georgie, we learn, is actually the biological son of Marcus, not Fred. Out of love, Marcus confessed to the crime and had been in jail ever since. Elisa cut off all communication and continued her âperfectâ life. Pretty dark stuff.
Nina, however, knew the truth. Ever since the accident, sheâd been plotting her revenge on Elisa. And she decided to steal her daughter, just as her own daughter had been stolen from her.

Elisaâs complicated past
Elisaâs backstory gets even more complex when we learn the truth about why she sped off after hitting Nicholas and Rose. As it turns out, she was on a mission to visit her dying father. But she wasnât visiting him to bid him a fond farewell.
Elisa, we learn, had grown up in a religious commune and had been abused by her father as a child. She intended to visit her father and make sure thatâ¦wellâ¦he really was dying.
When Elisa caught her father visiting her own daughter, Lucia, in her room, she ended up pushing him down the stairs and killing him. Thatâs right: By our count, thatâs three murders in one day! We told you it was a complicated tale.
