After the empire of Deron Valter, a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, falls into bankruptcy, he has the perfect solution: he agrees to sell his only daughter, Casel, to the cold, predatory successor of the nation's largest corporate family Zeth Richason. Casel is heartbroken and devastated, and she is forced to abandon her enjoyment of life to become a pawn in her father's scheme. She falls into the glittering but smog-filled world of the Richason mansion, and becomes a billionaire's wife in name only, promising him to never give him her heart. Zeth has always dreamed of marrying Casel, but his possessiveness and immense pride gets the better of him, turning their forced marriage into a war zone. A sudden turn of events occurs as the walls between them start to crack; a shocking twist occurs when Casel becomes pregnant. Nielle, Casel's childhood friend, is consumed by bitter jealousy, and joins forces with Casel's opportunistic ex-boyfriend. They conspire a frame job against Casel for being unfaithful. Zeth, blinded by anger and all his deeply ingrained cruelty, sends Casel away, leaving his newborn baby all alone with a child he thinks is not his. Casel is now humiliated, heart broken and desperate to keep her unborn baby from the vicious Richasons, so she hides. What is revealed as horrifying becomes apparent in her absence. But Zeth finds out the truth: his own father had deliberately caused Casel's family to become destitute, in order to be able to marry his daughter. Even worse, there's an explosive secret in the family that has been lurking in the shadows. Zeth's brother, Casel, is the true heir to half of the entire Richason empire! The truth of the child's paternity is finally revealed as a web of obsession, greed and generational revenge threatens to tear both families apart. When his own actions have left him with nothing but debris to deal with, it's a choice between his wounded pride and his suppressed love. Does forgiveness mend a rift torn by ambition, or does there come a time when a wound is too much to heal?
