Iris marries Carter Coleman, the man she fell for in her youth, and appears to be
the CEO's cherished wife. In truth, she is merely a substitute for his first love—
his stepmother, Eileen Murray. When Eileen stages a kidnapping, Carter pays
$10 million to rescue her alone, leaving Iris to die.
After narrowly surviving, Iris uncovers wedding-dress sketches meant for Eileen.
She also discovers that Carter spared Eileen the pain of donating bone marrow
by making the pregnant Iris donate to his sick father instead, causing her
miscarriage. Eileen herself hired the kidnappers. Four years of love collapse.
Iris joins forces with Aaron Kent, her childhood savior and the leader of North
America's largest underworld organization. She leaves Carter and systematically
dismantles the Coleman family's power, exposing the incest scandal, shorting the
company's stock, and reclaiming business control, leaving Eileen disgraced.
Only after losing everything does Carter recognize his love for Iris. His desperate
attempts to win her back lead to self-destruction. With her revenge complete, Iris
leaves the past behind and builds a peaceful life with Aaron, cutting ties with her
former life forever.
