Stephanie Evans
The daughter of Richard Evans, a prominent businessman, Stephanie was raised with high expectations. Her mother, So-hu Kang Evans, a Korean woman of strict upbringing, taught her to embody grace and class. With her chin up, chest out, and head held high, Stephanie was raised to be the epitome of refinement. Although she was arranged to marry a man for business reasons, she eventually falls in love with Xavier Hernandez and chooses to marry him, believing it will be the perfect union. But as she walks down the aisle, she realizes that she's heading down the "AISLE OF LIES."
Xavier Hernandez
Cold, commanding, and authoritative, Xavier is exactly what you would expect-a man of power and control. His father, Joshua Hernandez, instilled in him a sense of dominance that he carries into every aspect of his life. He makes a mistake that shatters Stephanie's world, and by the time he realizes the enormity of his error, it's too late to fix what he's broken.
