Caroline returns to her estranged father, Brand, desperate for money to treat her vegetative mother, Jane, but he refuses unless she apologizes for Jane's past betrayal. Stepmother Eve then compels Caroline to replace stepsister Maggie as the bride for Ethan, a man rumored to be brutal. At the ceremony, the true groom reveals himself as Ethan, the reclusive president of Dreame, stepping in to avoid publicity. Daniel, Maggie's actual fiancé and a Dreame director, mocks them, while Ethan's vice president, Jeff, recognizes Caroline as a former admirer. After the wedding, Eve withholds the promised funds, Ethan tests Caroline, and Jeff pursues her. When Caroline uncovers Ethan's deception about his identity, she leaves, only to be kidnapped by Daniel and Jeff. Ethan is injured rescuing her, and Caroline loses her memory. In the hospital, seeing Ethan and his ring, she accepts his proposal.
