Phoenix moves to Indianapolis with the intention to release herself from the restraints of her former home, and bring about a new side of  herself.
With the words "Who is Phoenix Miller?" sweet on her tongue, she's swallowing back the ever present and ever growing guilt of her past, and trying for a fresh start of ambiguity and distractions. 
She didn't know Seth Hughes was going to be a huge piece in that.
She's trying to rebuild, regrow, redesign herself to fit into this new life, the life she wants to make for herself, but there's always something stopping her; whether it be her past, her future, or herself.

Synopsis Phoenix was forced by his grandfather to marry his supposedly childhood sweetheart in order for him to get his inheritance. He badly wants his inheritance but he doesn't want to get tide up to anyone as he is enjoying his bachelorhood. Another reason is: he never wanted to get married to his clingy childhood supposedly sweetheart, Jewel Pierce, who proposed him marriage when they were still innocent little kids. But when he meets her again, he came face to face with a mature woman who doesn't want to have anything to do with him and strongly opposed his grandfather's proposal which confused him. He thought that she was head over heels inlove with him. However, instead of completely rejecting the proposal, she told him that they will enter a contract of agreement of staying married for only six months. Of course, no strings attached. Just to help him get his inheritance. But in those six months of being together, he slowly learned that there is more to Jewel than meets the eye. And he is starting to feel something that he shouldn't feel for a woman whom he tried to avoid all of his life. ********* "Why the hell are you extending the contract?! The deal is only six months Phoenix! Six months?!" Jewel screamed at the top of her lungs under the freezing heavy rain. "Because I don't us to be temporary! I wanted us to be permanent! I want you to be mine for life!" He screamed back, not minding the painful drops of the rain and shivering cold.

"You're unbearable!" He kicks her with utter contempt. "Please tell me where I'm wrong, causing you discomfort was not my intention," she said crying, causing him to hit her against the ground again. "Do you think you can live with good intentions? Didn't you have all the time you wanted to change and learn? You still dare to ask for more!" He yells at her with hatred, he blamed her for being the one will cause a woman to be beaten; He didn't want to be that kind of man. However, what he lived with her caused him to bring out what he hated the most about himself from within. -Forget it love- said a woman who was next to her- it's not worth it- this dog was supposed to be her friend, she was supposed to support her just like she did; however he managed so that he and she hated each other and thus be able to steal it. The woman on the floor does not know how much she was framed and harmed by her naivety, nor did she know that this was the beginning of her misfortunes. Because of that woman she did not stop suffering, wherever she went she suffered verbal or physical abuse and everything was orchestrated by this woman; she didn't know until she was about to faint. "Why?" She asked this unarmed woman without knowing why she hated him so much. She never did anything to hurt him. She just laughed viciously without answering him, she didn't have to waste her time with an insect; leaving La to die imprisoned in the house where she was kidnapped. "Answer me!" She got up from her bed screaming "Eh? This looks like my room; Did I reincarnate myself in the past?" She ran to the bathroom just to see that her assumption was correct. She thanked the heavens for this second chance by promising that she wouldn't be fooled a second time.
