Ethan Carter, a powerful and emotionally guarded CEO, is set to marry Sophia Reynolds, the woman he has loved for years. But on the morning of their grand wedding, Sophia vanishes, leaving Ethan humiliated. With the media in a frenzy and his family’s reputation at stake, Ethan impulsively asks his dedicated assistant, Claire Lawson, to take Sophia’s place.
Claire, secretly in love with Ethan, agrees to the arrangement, hoping that time will make him see her as more than just a substitute. Though their marriage begins as nothing more than a business deal, Claire’s warmth and unwavering support gradually break through Ethan’s cold exterior. He begins to fall for her, pushing the past aside.
Just when Claire believes she has finally built something real with Ethan, Sophia returns, holding the hand of a five-year-old boy she claims is Ethan’s son.

As the battle for love and truth intensifies, secrets unravel. Sophia’s sudden return is not as simple as it seems, and dark forces lurk behind her disappearance. With betrayal, hidden motives, and shocking revelations threatening to destroy their happiness, Ethan must make the ultimate choice—cling to the past or fight for the woman who truly loves him.
