Vivian Cunningham's union with her childhood companion, Nathan Sadoc, was anticipated to bring her immense happiness. Nathan, a dashing and charismatic figure that captured the hearts of many girls, including Vivian, seemed like the perfect match. But there was an underlying issue that shattered their idealized image. Nathan harbored no affection for Vivian and had never desired her as his wife. His heart was truly set on Annika Summers, a mysterious figure who had vanished a year prior, disappearing like Cinderella at the stroke of midnight. Nathan cherished her glass slipper as a symbol of his undying love, waiting eagerly for her return. Nathan's decision to marry Vivian was driven by a twisted plan - he sought to punish her for whatever he believed she had done to Annika. Vivian, consumed by the belief that she was trapped in a loveless marriage, expected nothing but pain and loneliness to be her fate. Yet, as time went by, an unexpected shift occurred between them. Vivian found herself puzzled by Nathan's sudden possessiveness and attraction towards her. The dynamics of their relationship improved dramatically, until the day Annika finally reappeared, threatening to upend everything.
