Brittany was such a lucky girl at 18 years old, she had loving parents, and a cute best friend she was harbouring feelings for when something happened, she got acquainted with Lucas the son of her mother’s employer. Naive, they became friends and had unprotected sex and Brittany had to have an abortion since Lucas's father and family members threatened to harm her if she proceeded with the pregnancy. This left Lucas, who is now 30, to join the Marines after obtaining a law degree as well as running away from a dominating father. In the military, he suffers a traumatic event which leaves him with PTSD, then has to go back to his father’s business where he is pressured to marry and produce an heir.
 
Later on, Brittany starts working on the Interior design of Lucas’s family mansion and they again meet each other. Lucas does not remember being with Brittany, but he later still feels the suffering caused by his family to her. Brittany and Lucas have a fake marriage to have control of the family business, but at the same time, Lucas fights with his PTSD and Brittany is devastated by the loss of her mother and betrayal by her family. They have to unmask Lucas’s cunning stepmother and demanding father to regain the title they both deserve and rediscover the bond they lost long ago.

A Fragile Reunion

…"I need to use the bathroom," I started going towards the door but he asked me to use his. His bathroom looked like one from the movies. The shower, the tub, and the interior were so beautiful and as much as I wanted to admire it, I had to spend more time with him and less time in the bathroom.

"I counted eight bottles of sham– hey, don't read that."

But it was too late, Lucas had already read my silly must-do list. It was where I wrote things that I needed to do before I left high school.

There might be some silly things on the list so I didn't want him to see it. He held it over my head and read it out loud "Take a road trip"

"Stop. Give it to me," I said but he easily dodged me.

"Start exercising. No, no exercise Brittany. I like you like this."

I moved to take the book from him but he was faster

"Wait. Kiss Charles. Who the fuck is Charles?"
