At her ninth engagement party, Nadia Noland is publicly abandoned once again. This time, she takes off her ring and shocks everyone by replacing her fiancé with Stellan Hastings, the long lost grandson of the Hastings Family. Hudson Hastings scoffs, certain that Nadia will crawl back after five years of loving him, and that the Noland Group cannot survive without the Hastings. Instead, Nadia announces a major partnership between the Noland and Hastings Groups. Hudson is cast out of the family and stripped of his assets, while Stellan becomes the man at her side. Only then does Hudson realize what he has truly lost, but the woman, the child, and the love he once took for granted are already beyond his reach.
