After the tragic loss of her mother, Vivian's once-perfect life unraveled. The straight-A student transformed into a spoiled, combative, and emotionally distant girl. Her already fragile relationship with her father now teetered on the edge of collapse.

Joe, on the other hand, bore the weight of adulthood far too early. Abandoned by his father at the age of twelve, he had no choice but to become the provider for his family. Balancing work with the responsibility of caring for his cancer-stricken mother and two younger siblings, Joe grew up hardened by life's relentless struggles.

When Vivian and Joe's paths cross, their connection becomes a lifeline. Their love, raw and unfiltered, begins to mend the wounds they carry, offering each a glimpse of solace and hope.

But just as they start to rebuild their lives together, a devastating truth surfaces. The revelation threatens to shatter the fragile balance they've found, forcing both to confront truths they never anticipated.

The two tried to dampen the flames of their burgeoning attraction for each other but not before they got caught and were the talk of the town for months.

Struggling through life, she depended on the help of Ethan and Noah's father-a wealthy man who had once rescued her. This man was Vivian's mother's ex-husband. Back then, Ethan and Noah were still young and didn't understand Vivian's situation. Instead, they resented her, thinking she stole their family's attention and affection. But everything changed overnight. The sudden death of their parents triggered a swift collapse of their fragile family: the business went bankrupt, internal power struggles were exposed, and no one was left to protect them.
