Head over heels in love, Ayla Caddel marries Silas Locke, a wealthy entrepreneur in Maple County, believing she’s secured her happily ever after.

Eight years later, she’s living a nightmare, but still refuses to see it.

Despite being constantly mistreated by her in-laws and repeatedly cheated on by her husband, Ayla forgives him, believing it’s simply in a ‘man’s nature.’

Even when Silas infects her with an STD that leaves her infertile, she still forgives him. 

She sacrifices a high-paying job to ease his insecurities, cooks, cleans, and contributes to household expenses… all while enduring daily humiliation.

One night, Silas brings home his pregnant mistress, Elena Simmons along with a major business partner and serves Ayla divorce papers like she’s yesterday’s trash.

Shattered, she runs to the rooftop to catch her breath, but that’s when it happens.

She overhears a cruel phone call Elena makes and confronts her about it only to be shoved off the roof. 

As she falls, she locks eyes with Elena’s cold, smiling face.

Tears slide down her cheeks and she unwillingly embraces death, full of regret.

As her skull hits the pavement, the last flickers of life flashes before her eyes. And with searing clarity, she realizes: she was never the problem.

If only she could turn back time… she would do everything differently.

But then…

Ayla Caddel wakes up the next morning, not in a hospital, but seven years before her death.

This time, she plans to burn her fairy tale to the ground, starting with divorcing her ‘perfect’ husband.

She vows never to get entangled with a man until a certain man suddenly clings to her hips, refusing to leave.

Ezra Hale, the man Silas relied on for business, was never interested in Silas. 

He was rather drawn to Ayla, but never approached her and patiently waited for the scales to fall off her eyes. 

That was until he hears of her sudden death while driving to work.

Heartbroken and guilt-ridden, he crashes into a truck and dies instantly.

Only to open his eyes seven years earlier.

On this day back then, Ayla had brought Silas lunch at work, only to be embarrassed and shouted at to leave.

But this time, as Ezra walks by… he doesn’t care that his entire staff is watching and directly pulls the woman he never thought he’d see again into his arms.
