Stephen's loyalty came into question shortly after Monica met the notorious James Kingsley, a ruthless, shrewd, and calculating cold-hearted murderer who has his own hidden agenda. Stephen and James became arch enemies, vowing to kill each other while pledging to protect the only woman who stood between them. Monica finds herself falling in love with James, and just when she's ready to give him her heart she discovers a most painful and disturbing secret that could shatter all of her hopes and dreams. Will Monica choose love, or will she choose her empire?
