Monique wasn't really a person. She was a mask created by a very ordinary girl in the pursuit of her dreams. Henry was the friend that encouraged her but it was his brother that fascinated her. She had never met him and knew very well she never would. It was Henry however that supported her as she left home in search of herself.

Henry and Monique started off as penfriends. Henry was in rehab when he got her email address from craigslist. She was barely in her teens. What started was a string of mutual encouragement. The fact that Henry was gay never mattered to her. The fact that she was Indian never mattered to him. Now Monique is a name in fashion and she has a life beyond the dreams she started with.

However, one fateful accident makes her crawl back to the ashes that Monique was hewn from and it takes a complete stranger to give her back the wings that Henry had painted for her.

Monique couldn't believe that Rishi was dead. The man who had abused and exploited her for almost a decade died a day before she was to marry him. He didn't make an honest woman out of her after all. But was the woman who came out of this entire fiasco the same wide-eyed girl who left her home and family in India at the tender age of eighteen or is it a different girl too tired to face the world. What will happen when she is forced to make the choice between the woman she was and the woman she was asked to be?

Shinjini was the sister that never got her wish because of her elder sister's bad example. When Monique ran away from home Shinjini was left to bear the consequences. Will the girl who never could be herself accept the elder sister who had lost the sense of who she was?

Rupert has a history he is not proud of. But still one thing he understands better than anything is the importance of taking responsibility. Will his sens of duty be enough to grant Monique the new lease of life as his wife or will the undeniable commitment push her to question her own identity.
