Man coerced into a sinister agreement, Evelyn Stone is left broken, deceived, and pregnant. Her life is reliant on others, making her the epitome of dishonesty. The real villain, however, is Alexander Bennett, the wealthy billionaire with whom she was previously married. For a brief while, he is consumed by rage and retaliation, and when she tries to win his heart back, she fails, leaving him with a burning desire that he pursues for years before capturing her once more and making her pay. Knowing that she will be destroyed, the city looks on. "You stole my heart and gave me a child. And now, you think you can escape me?" Alexander responds icily when Evelyn, in a desperate moment, says, "I left our marriage with nothing, so why won't you let me go?"
