She contacts her mother to accept an alternative marriage arrangement, ensuring Jax will never get her back.

Right after his engagement party, a man receives a chilling video call from his future self, who is dying destitute on the streets.

To rewrite his tragic fate, he must reject her demands and buy a rundown suburban unit at 28 Franklin Street, which is destined for a massive buyout in just two weeks.

Chloe endures eighteen years of abuse before the wealthy Carlisle family finally reclaims her. But her hope for belonging is destroyed when her jealous fake sister drugs her and traps her in a hotel room with a stranger. Publicly disowned and cast back to her foster parents, she discovers they plan to sell her to a violent old drunk. Fleeing with only a mysterious black card from that night, she learns she is pregnant. Desperate, she uses the card to fund her dying professor's surgery, revealing her location. Then she collides with the stranger—cold, familiar, and ready to collect what is his.
