Theirs is just a mere marriage of convenience, but now older, wiser and twenty-three, Solana vows revenge for all they did to her family by making Abel's life a living nightmare.

Will they ever rise above obstacles lodged in their paths and get their happily-ever-after?

They all whirled around at the interruption. Father and Andre were surprised, Andrew on the other hand was blazing furious.
