8 parts Ongoing Gracelyn Lauder, a 19-year-old single woman full of energy, is doing her best to navigate a harsh world. To care for her gravely ill father, she had to put her education on hold. Returning home was far from her dream, but she did it because her father was diagnosed with lung cancer and given only six months to live. To manage his mounting medical bills, she started working.
One day, seeking a much-needed break, she went to the mall with friends. There, she witnessed a terrifying scene: a man screaming at another, surrounded by armed men. As gunshots rang out, she fled for her life, only to be stopped as she left the mall. Questioned about a drive she knew nothing about, she was taken captive when it was found in her purse. She endured torture for information and was forced at gunpoint to marry her captor.
When she finally escaped, she ran into Oliver Black, his arch-nemesis, who revealed an unresolved contract. Cornered again, she found herself in Oliver's arms, learning that crucial papers were never filed. Oliver, determined to reclaim his life, forced her to become his wife, dragging her deeper into a dangerous web.
