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 smiled at her description. "That does sound familiar."

"And you, my dear, are already part of that family," Emily continued. "Not because you married Lucas or because you're carrying the next generation of Fergusons. But because you love Lucas, and he loves you. That's what really matters."

I felt tears pricking at my eyes, damn pregnancy hormones. "Thank you, Emily. I didn't realize how much I needed to hear that."

She got closer and kissed me on the cheek, or something like that. "Anytime sweetie," And by 'anytime' she meant, 'Don't hesitate to call me if you ever need someone to talk to. "Us Ferguson women need to support each other" she would add.

I smiled and caught a tear that rolled down my cheek. "That would be nice. It would be great knowing that I can always run to someone acquainted with this insane family of ours."
