Arden Coleman, a carrier, dreams of creating a family of two. His deep-seated trust issues do not allow him to see a future where he has a partner. He could go to a sperm bank, but the process is too fussy and again, he has trust issues. Still, he has no choice but to go to one if he wants to have a child. In a curious twist of fate, Arden found himself devising an insane plan that will make his best friend pass out: stalk Mariano Il Volo, a billionaire bachelor and ask him to be his sperm donor. Due to a series of events, Arden woke up in a stranger's bed with a hangover, an aching waist, and a blank memory of last night's event. A few weeks later, his pregnancy test turned positive and he met Mariano, presenting him a marriage contract and a deal he cannot refuse. UPDATE SCHEDULE: twice a week

Will Elijah be the one to save Devon from the shackles the latter willingly put on himself, or will Elijah be thrown again into the darkness as his past began to chase him?
