Para kay Tyra Reign Agustin, ang kasal ay isang mahalaga at sagradong seremonya na dapat pahalagahan ninuman. Samantala, iba naman ang pananaw ni Damien Alistair Prescott sa bagay na ito. Para sa kaniya, ang kasal ay walang importansiya at hindi dapat gaanong bigyan ng pansin. Nang makipaghiwalay si Tyra sa kaniyang dating nobyo na si Ethan Alexander Carter ay nakilala niya si Damien Alistair Prescott — isang hot bachelor CEO ng Prescott Nexus, na kilala bilang isa sa nangungunang maipluwensiya at makapangyarihang kumpaniya sa bansa. Ang kanilang unang pagkikita ay hindi pangkaraniwan. Suot ang pang-guwardiyang uniporme ay tumakas si Damien sa inihandang kasal ng kaniyang ina para sa kaniya, at sa kaniyang pagtakas ay nakasalubong niya ang umiiyak at lasing na si Tyra Reign. Dahil sa kagustuhang makatakas sa pangingialam ng kaniyang ina sa kaniyang buhay pag-aasawa ay walang pasubaling inalok ni Damien ng kasal si Tyra. Dala ng kalasingan at maling akala ay pumayag si Tyra na pumirma sa isang marriage contract. Sa kabilang banda ay naisip ni Damien na baka si Tyra na ang kaniyang hinahanap, dahil sa agaran nitong pagpayag sa kaniyang alok na pagpapakasal ay nagustuhan niya ito sa hindi malalim na paraan. Nakasuot lamang siya noon ng pang-guwardiyang uniporme ngunit nagawa pa ring sumang-ayon ni Tyra, para sa kaniya, ang babae ay ibang-iba sa nire-reto ng ina. Sa paglipas ng panahon ay nagkamabutihan sila, naging opisyal ang kanilang relasyon kahit pa hadlang dito ang pamilya ni Damien — lalo ang sariling ina nito. Ngunit dahil sa kaniyang pagmamahal kay Tyra ay nagawa niyang sumuway at labagin ang kagustuhan ng pamilya. Subalit ang kaniyang pagmamahal ang magbibigay rason kay Tyra upang iwan siya nito, bitbit ang isang sanggol na susunod na magmamana ng lahat ng mga kayamanan ng mga Prescott.
