In the glamorous yet cutthroat world of modeling, Claire Duval discovers her fiancé's betrayal on the eve of their wedding. Teaming up with mogul Christian Cross for a marriage of convenience, she embarks on a journey to reclaim her life and career, navigating love, deception, and a desire for justice against the backdrop of the high stakes fashion industry.

Betrayed by her deceitful ex and left childless, Mia Gerber craves revenge. Her first step? A strategic marriage to a cold-hearted heir!

Iris and Benjamin were once the ultimate power couple—total relationship goals for everyone, and loaded to boot. They went from college sweethearts straight to tying the knot, and he even gave her a kidney to save her life, swearing he’d love her forever. But by their third year of marriage? Benjamin was hooking up with his mistress out in the open, no shame at all. Crushed and done with his nonsense, Iris set a "15-day countdown" and quietly planned her divorce and escape. But his pathetic lies and the mistress’s bold-faced disrespect pushed her over the edge—she lost the baby. Completely broken, she finally took off, all by herself. Benjamin had no clue how much he’d hurt her until she was gone. That’s when his brutal "redemption tour" started—you know, when someone messes up bad and then begs for forgiveness, but it’s already too late. He offered a reward worldwide to find her, but Iris outsmarted him at every turn. His career and reputation? Gone in a flash. Even after he dumped the mistress, got on his knees to beg for mercy, and took a knife for Iris (ending up seriously hurt), he couldn’t melt her cold heart. In the end, he just had to watch—lonely and full of regret—as she built a new, happy life. And that’s when he finally got it: "Belated love ain’t worth squat"—affection that shows up too late? It’s totally useless.

She tries to keep her distance, not wanting ties with her ex’s family, but Damon’s relentless pursuit leaves her breathless.
