“This marriage is null and void! The wedding of Dan Miller and Lucia Ray is null and void.” A man from behind shouted as he stepped into the entrance of the church, breathing heavily, just as the priest was about to pronounce Dan and Lucia ‘husband and wife’. Dan Miller, the CEO of Miller's Production Enterprise, hurriedly planned a wedding with his fiance, Lucia Ray, whom they've dated for only two months. His plan was to outsmart his father, who had signed a contract with his friend, Dantes. The moment young Miller set an eye on those papers, he had been looking for a way to do a surprise wedding without his father's consent. “Never! Over my dead body would I forcefully marry the daughter of my father's debtor! I can never marry someone who is not my standard.” He thought to himself. He was at the altar with his bride, taking their marriage vows, when his father, Mr. Morgan Miller, who was out of the country for a six-month business trip, showed up unexpectedly and put the wedding to a halt. “You either marry Clara Dantes in the next two weeks or you lose your position as the heir of the Miller's family.” Mr. Miller declared. Stuck of choice, Dan vows to ill-treat Clara in their marriage till she finally decides to leave by herself. Forced to marry the arrogant son of the billionaire because of her father's debt to offset her mother's medical bill, Clara Dantes planned to get back with her ex-lover once she secured a loan and paid off the debt. As time went on, Clara and Dan realised that they had developed true feelings for each other, but they had to be strong and fight their past as their ex-lovers conspired to ruin their union.

CHLOE'S IDENTITY
"What?" Loretta screamed and the phone almost fell off her hand.
"Clara, what is the meaning of this? But wait first, did you actually do that?" Loretta's brain went mumb after watching the videos and pictures of Clara with those men who claimed to be investors, and she doesn't know why questions to ask anymore. She needs answers to everything.
"You're trying to sound unbelievable now, Loretta. I just finished telling you now that someone is trying to set me up, and you're asking me if I actually did that." Clara asked with a frown.
"I… I'm just confused about this whole thing, Clara. What do you expect me to say when it doesn't look like an animation or a photolab? I need more explanations for this so I can relate to what you're saying."
Loretta said, gradually raising her voice at Clara.
