Olivia Payne, a powerful spiritual master, left her mountain retreat to face her destined trial of love. She fell for Roger Payne, head of the Payne family, at first sight — and used her powers to raise his family to the top of Akaphis's wealthiest within five years. But bending fate came at a brutal cost: it damaged her own destiny and left her unable to bear children. Then came a worse blow. Roger's secretary, Melina Moss, drugged him and became pregnant with his child. To spare Olivia the family's relentless pressure to produce an heir, Roger reluctantly agreed to let Melina carry the child to term, certain that once an heir existed, he and Olivia could finally live in peace. But Olivia's divination revealed a grim truth: the child was fated to die young. Desperate to save it, Roger let suspicion poison him. He became convinced Olivia was acting out of jealousy — and tried to force her to save the baby. Looking at the lover who no longer trusted her and in-laws closing in on her, Olivia felt the last of her affection die. With nothing left to hold her, she cut their bond and took back everything she had given the Payne family.
