Carol has always taken the fall for her irresponsible and spoiled younger sister, Victoria right from when they were young. When Victoria reveals that she is getting married to a billionaire whom she does not know out of the blues, Carol is surprised and tries to talk Victoria out of it. On the day of the wedding, Victoria absconds, at which point Carol’s parents reveal the horrible reason why Victoria was to be married off to the billionaire to her. As usual, their parents want Carol to bail her sister out and save the family from shame and danger by doing the unthinkable...marrying her sister's fiancée.  Now, Carol is married to this cold and brooding stranger, who himself only agreed to a contract marriage with her because he needs to find his missing ex. Carol begins to fall in love with him…but all of a sudden, she finds herself in a competition with the ex, who suddenly shows up just when Sebastian begins to fall for Carol too.

The substitute bride and the unwilling husband

"Carol! What's going on?" Sebastian asked, rushing over to where Jessica was still lying motionless on the ground. He searched for a pulse, heaved a relieved sigh when he found a faint one, and lifted her up in his arms, while asking a petrified Carol to get one of the drivers. Carol remained frozen on the spot, staring with wide, scared eyes at Jessica. 


"I'm sorry ... I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to push her, but she kept hitting me and I got angry, so I pushed her. Oh, my God! I killed her, didn't I? She's dead and it's all my fault. I've killed someone and I'm going to go to jail. I killed her!" Carol exclaimed, still standing where she was, while Sebastian was already carrying Jessica out of the garden.
