Caroline had been struggling to collect money for her sick mother when she unexpectedly saved the poisoned CEO, Jerred, and spent a passionate night with him. That same night, Caroline's half-sister Malinda, after drunk driving, fled the scene of an accident. Jerred needed someone to take responsibility for the incident, so Malinda threatened Caroline with their mother's medical costs, insisting that Caroline step in. Jerred then took Caroline to his home as his wife, where he humiliated her. Meanwhile, he was still searching for the woman who had spent the passionate night with him three days earlier.
