La vie d'Iris Ainsworth a basculé le jour où son nom s'est retrouvé associé à celui de Gabriel Wyndham, le dangereux et séduisant milliardaire. En quelques heures, leur aventure d'un soir est devenue une tempête médiatique. Pour protéger la réputation d'Iris et celle de la famille Wyndham, le grand-père de Gabriel les a obligés à se marier dans l'urgence. Pourtant, Gabriel aimait une autre femme, Delphine Winthrope, son amour d'enfance. Le mariage avec Iris n'était pour lui qu'un arrangement. Son cœur restait ailleurs. Iris se retrouvait enfermée dans une union sans affection, jugée et méprisée par la famille Wyndham, qui la considérait comme une tache sur leur héritage. Elle se battait pour tenir. Elle a essayé de sauver ce mariage, d'y croire encore. Mais avec le temps, elle s'est résignée, préférant investir dans sa carrière que poursuivre un amour qu'elle n'obtiendrait jamais. Elle aimait Gabriel sincèrement, mais cet amour n'a jamais été réciproque. Il lui donnait tout, son nom, sa fortune, sa protection, mais jamais son cœur. Pour lui, elle restait simplement une amie. Finalement, Iris a demandé le divorce. Mais Gabriel a refusé. Catégoriquement. Jamais il ne la laisserait partir. Lorsque des vérités longtemps cachées ont refait surface, Gabriel a commencé à voir Iris autrement. Pour la première fois, il ressentait pour elle des sentiments réels. Il a mis un terme à sa relation avec Delphine, celle que tout le monde imaginait déjà comme sa future épouse. Mais au moment même où l'amour commençait à naître entre eux, leurs ennemis se sont réveillés et le danger s'est refermé sur eux. Dans un univers de trahisons, de rivalités familiales et de secrets enfouis, Iris pouvait devenir la clé qui sauverait les Wyndham ou celle qui les ferait chuter à jamais. Une histoire de passion, de sacrifices, de blessures et de rédemption. Et tout commençait ici...

A car accident left my mother-in-law bleeding and desperate for help, but her plea was heartlessly rejected by her own daughter. Even on her deathbed, my mother-in-law's only wish was to see her one last time. However, she was busy staying by her first love's side, euthanizing his dog. "You better stay as far away from me as possible! My mom's perfectly fine!" she shouted before hanging up on me, only to spend the night tangled with her first love in a hotel room. It was not until after the cremation ceremony that she returned—carrying a birthday cake. What greeted her was not a celebration but her mother's funeral. She cried, sobbing uncontrollably, "Mom! You haven't even celebrated my birthday yet! Don't leave me!" I stared at her and pulled the divorce papers from my bag. How fitting. This time, I was leaving too.

I've been with an award-winning actor for seven years. We've been secretly married for five of those seven years. For the sake of his career, I drink so much that I get a stomach perforation. I also allow others to trample over my pride and dignity. Yet he goes on lakeside dates with another woman and kisses her underneath the fireworks. He even has the nerve to tell me not to be unreasonable. Later, I get caught in a landslide when I'm on a business trip. I make one last call to him in fear. All I hear is him singing his lover a birthday song. I ask for a divorce after losing hope in him. That's when he suddenly begs me not to leave. He even announces our relationship to the world on the day he wins an award. Our seven-year relationship is finally public, but I don't want it anymore.

In a world where the gods of legend have become actual fact, a few misnomers from another planet seek to simply live their lives in peace. If you could choose one word from the dictionary, one that simply defines you to the core of your soul, what would you say your definition is?

In the seventh year of our marriage, I caught Nolan Garrison kissing his secretary at a bar. He called me shortly after I walked away. "It was just a friendly kiss! What’s with the attitude?" he snapped through the phone. I could hear his friends in the background teasing him and saying that I would be madly jealous while pleading for him not to leave me tonight as usual. Before hanging up, Nolan warned me that he wouldn’t come home if I didn’t apologize. However, I wasn’t bothered by his threat. I didn’t care if he decided to come home or get a divorce. Three minutes later, I posted an update on my social media: “Prioritize self-love and grant others the freedom they seek.”
