Five years ago, Tessa married Rhett and joined the Hopkins family, only to be neglected by him after their wedding. When Rhett faced bankruptcy and was left paralyzed, he assumed Tessa, whom he believed was a gold digger, would leave him. Instead, she dedicated herself to caring for him. Initially, Rhett thought she had feelings for him, but when he learned the truth, he broke down. Determined to prove himself worthy of her love, he resolved to work hard and earn enough so that Tessa would never want to leave his side.
