Alicia Mori, a quiet and introverted 23-year-old librarian, is shocked to learn she has been arranged to marry Hyugo Wilford, her high school bully and the man who caused her years of emotional turmoil. At 26, Hyugo is now a confident and extroverted businessman, far removed from the tormentor Alicia remembers. Despite her initial resistance and fear, Alicia finds herself unable to escape the arrangement due to family pressures and societal expectations.
As Alicia navigates the overwhelming situation, she leans on her best friends, Diana-a spirited pottery artist-and Mason, a kindhearted bartender. Together, they encourage her to reclaim her voice and face the ghosts of her past. Meanwhile, Hyugo, aware of his past mistakes, seeks to make amends and prove he has changed. As the two are forced to spend time together, Alicia begins to see a different side of Hyugo-one that is vulnerable, caring, and genuinely remorseful.
Through shared moments of vulnerability, confrontation, and unexpected laughter, Alicia and Hyugo slowly begin to break down the barriers between them. Their journey explores themes of forgiveness, self-discovery, and the possibility of finding love in the most unexpected places.
Will Alicia overcome her fears and find a renewed sense of love and trust, or will the scars of the past prove too deep to heal?
