Andrew Ian and Elyn Bennett had always been childhood sweethearts. However, three years ago, a tragic accident left Elyn in a vegetative state. During those years, Andrew devoted himself to caring for her, hoping she would one day wake up. Meanwhile, Layla deceived Andrew's mother into signing a marriage contract that bound Andrew to her for a year, without the possibility of divorce. Reluctantly, Andrew married Layla, but his heart remained with Elyn, whom he continued to care for despite his new marriage. Elyn was the only woman he ever loved, and this fueled Layla's jealousy. In a fit of rage, Layla kidnapped Elyn and, through surgery, swapped their faces. To ensure Elyn couldn't reveal the truth, Layla cruelly burned her larynx with a hot iron, leaving her mute. With her sinister plan complete, Layla assumed Elyn's identity.
