Layla is a country girl, humble, kind and caring, who promises to marry the son of an old family friend Diego, after he reveals a terminal diagnosis. Diego is worried about what will become of his family fortune if left to his frivolous son and greedy wife whose only concern is to cement her place among London's high society. Roman is the son in question, a rebel who prefers to take risks and fritter away his father's hard earned money rather than work in the family business. He agrees to the marriage but with his own promise: he vows to make life miserable for Layla, to the extent that she will divorce him, proving to his father that he should be allowed to make his own decisions in life. Yet as the torments begin, Roman starts to question why this innocent girl should suffer while it is his father that he wants to punish. As he softens, Layla sees a gentler side to him, something that she finds impossible to resist. Roman's family was ruining Layla's life but she was silently bearing all this for her uncle without complaining. Roman tried many ways to send Layla away from him but failed in all of them. Roman's family considered Layla to be a girl who married their son for money and tortured her a lot. When his father was counting his last breaths, Roman came to know the truth and also that Layla had married him out of helplessness. Slowly love started blossoming between them, seeing when Roman's mother tried to kill Layla, but later Roman came to know about this and he went away from everyone with his wife and both of them started a new life.
