For years, she believed she was living a perfect love. Engaged and living with the man she chose to share her life with, everything seemed ready for the "happily ever after." The invitations were printed, the dress hung ready, the vows nearly memorized. Until the past knocked on the door—sick, fragile, and with a martyr-like air.
The ex-girlfriend who abandoned him during the most difficult time of his life now returns claiming to be dying. And, under the pretext of "pity," he begins to yield to her every whim... even going so far as to use everything prepared for his wedding with his current fiancée for a mock marriage with his ex. Public humiliations, disrespect, cruel orders. The justification? "She's dying. Be understanding."
Shattered, betrayed, and broken, she accepts an unthinkable proposal: an arranged marriage to a cold, powerful man full of his own scars. What begins as an escape transforms into a path of healing, strength, and a new beginning.
But when the past tries to return, she will no longer be the same woman.
