“This marriage is null and void! The wedding of Dan Miller and Lucia Ray is null and void.” A man from behind shouted as he stepped into the entrance of the church, breathing heavily, just as the priest was about to pronounce Dan and Lucia ‘husband and wife’.
Dan Miller, the CEO of Miller's Production Enterprise, hurriedly planned a wedding with his fiance, Lucia Ray, whom they've dated for only two months. His plan was to outsmart his father, who had signed a contract with his friend, Dantes.
The moment young Miller set an eye on those papers, he had been looking for a way to do a surprise wedding without his father's consent.
“Never! Over my dead body would I forcefully marry the daughter of my father's debtor! I can never marry someone who is not my standard.” He thought to himself.
 
He was at the altar with his bride, taking their marriage vows, when his father, Mr. Morgan Miller, who was out of the country for a six-month business trip, showed up unexpectedly and put the wedding to a halt.
“You either marry Clara Dantes in the next two weeks or you lose your position as the heir of the Miller's family.” Mr. Miller declared.
Stuck of choice, Dan vows to ill-treat Clara in their marriage till she finally decides to leave by herself. 
Forced to marry the arrogant son of the billionaire because of her father's debt to offset her mother's medical bill, Clara Dantes planned to get back with her ex-lover once she secured a loan and paid off the debt.
As time went on, Clara and Dan realised that they had developed true feelings for each other, but they had to be strong and fight their past as their ex-lovers conspired to ruin their union.

FORCED MARRIAGE, TRUE LOVE

The breeze was blowing mildly. Her long hair flew to her face as she sat down on the veranda of Miller's mansion with a glass of wine. She called out the senior maid to keep her company, as being alone inside the big mansion was tiresome.

She had spent hours going through every picture and chatting with Banjo.

"Oh, I can't wait to come back to you, Banjo." She said this to herself when she came across the lovely photos they took during their graduation ceremony in high school. They even promised that one of those pictures would be part of their pre-wedding photos.

Franca kept her company while telling her about a lot of things she never knew about the Miller family.

"Oh, such a nice family." She said this after hearing from the maid.

"It's just a day, and I'm starting to miss Sir and Ma'am Miller already. This house is so empty without them, I must confess." Clara added.
