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.

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

…when my driver was taking me there, I happened to notice that my father's car was similar to the car that tailed Brittany and me the other day. It made no sense because my father normally preferred big cars and I had not noticed him drive that car before.

"Nice car," I said to him when he pulled up beside me.

"Yeah, it has been around for a while"

I nodded in response. We were seated at the back of the restaurant with a view of the busy streets. The waiter served what my father ordered for both of us.

"What do you want to talk about"

As much as the food was delicious and the setting was calming, I needed my father to address his reasons for lunch.

"Margaret told me some things," he said in response.

I knew that the run-in with Margaret was a big mistake but I just confirmed it. My negligence had put Brittany in danger, and depending on how much he knew, my guys too.
