Cristian fell for Emma, a scholarship student, because her smile reminded him of Sloane, his lost love. However, Emma was convinced that Cristian was deeply in love with her. She planned to have a child with her childhood friend Toby, and even demanded that Cristian transfer all his company shares to her.
