On their wedding night, Colin abandons her for his beloved fake heiress, Anise, leaving Layla heartbroken and alone.

But as their feelings grow, Layla's marriage scandal erupts, and Anise spreads vicious rumors to destroy her reputation. With Fain's help, Layla fights back and finally finds love—until his ex-girlfriend exposes their relationship, and Fain's father plots to separate them. Unable to reach Fain, Layla walks away.
