On the night of their third wedding anniversary, Aubrey Clinton made a devastating discovery- her husband, Daniel Black, was having an affair with her sister, Ember. To add to her heartbreak, she learned that the child they had adopted two years after their marriage was, in fact, the biological son of Daniel and Ember.
In that moment of betrayal, Aubrey decided to seek a divorce and left the house. In her grief, she turned to a bar for solace. There, she got drunk and had a one-night stand with Maxwell Lockwood, whom she mistakenly believed to be a gigolo.
Weeks later, Aubrey faced another life changing revelation- she found out she was pregnant. At the same time, she got a position as a mechanical engineering designer at Lockwood Empire. It was during this time that she discovered Maxwell was not just any man, he was the owner of the Lockwood Empire and a wealthy billionaire.
Meanwhile, Daniel Black hesitated to finalize the divorce. With his company on the verge of going public, he understood the importance of maintaining a stable family image. Additionally, he still felt drawn to Aubrey’s gentle nature and proposed an open marriage instead.
Aubrey wanted to share the news of her pregnancy with Maxwell, but she discovered that he had a strong dislike for children. Fearing his reaction, she choose to keep this significant secret to herself.
As she navigated various life challenges, Aubrey found herself increasingly relying on Maxwell’s support, he was always there when she needed him most.
Initially, Aubrey viewed Maxwell as a cold-hearted playboy who lacked empathy for women’s emotions. However, as their relationship deepened, she began to see the intensity and unwavering nature of his devotion.
But the question lingered- for how long could this connection last?
