Emma fights to survive poverty while dodging her ex's hidden vendetta.
Emma arrives in the U.S. destitute, legally shackled to a stranger by family decree. Desperate, she becomes assistant to Zachary, the ex-boyfriend she double-crossed before fleeing. He greets her with icy professionalism, masking a calculated plan to destroy her. His supposed wife haunts the edges of the arrangement — a phantom he's avoided since Emma vanished — adding a volatile layer to his scheme. Every assignment becomes a trap, every courtesy a blade. Emma must navigate this minefield of past sins and present lies, unaware how deep the retaliation runs.
