Emily Madison was kidnapped and turned over to a strange man as collateral for a loan. Her world suddenly fell apart. All her dreams and hopes became nothing, replaced by vengeance and hatred. The wealthy Finn Harrison, whose life had never been affected by anyone, had no idea that his peace would be disturbed when he captured and took a helpless girl to live with him. Emily and Finn's lives have never been the same since they met. Where will fate lead their journey?
Emily Madison woke up with a weighty head. She opened her eyes and tried to recognize where she was right now. Emily tried to lift herself. Her head throbbed again, but she managed to sit up against the head of the bed. She tried to recall the incident that made her end up there.
This afternoon Emily had an appointment to meet a client at a coffee shop. Her new client is a young man developing a clothing business and preparing to open his shop. However, in the middle of their conversation, Emily suddenly loses consciousness, which is where she is now.
The girl decided to get out of bed to check things out. Emily walked over to the window and peeked outside. It was all dark. There was no clue about her current whereabouts. Now Emily tries to open the door. As predicted, the door was locked from the outside. Immediately Emily thought, Who locked me here?
Emily's head was full of questions. Finally, she gave up and returned to bed because her head hurt. She almost returned to sleep and saw a food tray on the nightstand beside the bed. However, Emily has no intention of touching it.
Emily was asleep for a long. She was awakened by the sound of the door opening and realized it was now light. A well-built man walked in carrying a tray.
"Are you awake, Miss?" The man came over, took the tray used last night, and replaced it with a new one. "You'd better eat if you don't want to get sick. You haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon."
Emily didn't dare to answer. She just stared at the man timidly.
"If you want to clean up, just use the bathroom. The clean clothes are in the cupboard." The man immediately left Emily again. He closed the door and locked it again from the outside.

Finn Harrison heard a knock on his office room.
"Come in," Finn answered without taking his eyes off what he was doing. He is reviewing several cooperation proposals from his business partners. Many companies are interested in collaborating with their subsidiaries which are members of the Harrison Company.
Since his father died three years ago, Finn has continued to lead the Harrison Company. A company engaged in the property sector and is well known as one of the major developers in Indonesia. Finn, who was only 30 years old then, could lead the company inherited from his father, making it even more prominent.
"Do you call me?" The well-built man walked into Finn's room.
Finn removed his glasses, then flatly asked, "Brad, is that girl awake?"
"Since yesterday, Sir," Brad answered quickly.
"Did something happen?" Finn looked a little curious. "Are you able to handle it well?"
"Nothing happened, Sir."
"What do you mean?" Finn frowned.
"That girl has been awake since yesterday morning, but until tonight she didn't try to run away. Didn't throw a tantrum. Didn't cry. She didn't even try to ask why she was there." Brad reported everything to Finn. "However, I was a little worried because she didn't touch the food I brought her. She only drank water."
"Okay! Leave her alone. You can go now. Don't forget to keep an eye on her." Finn nodded as a sign for Brad to leave the room immediately.
Finn picked up the phone. Waited momentarily, then spoke, "Don, please come to my room now."
Finn leaned back as fatigue took over him. He had been sitting at his desk for too long today. There was a knock on his door, and Don walked in.
"Good evening Mr. Finn, is there anything urgent I must do?" Don asked a little worried, it's already late and he wants to go home soon. If Finn gave him a sudden job, he would likely stay in the office tonight.
"Tomorrow morning, please come to my residence." Finn started the conversation. "I want you to meet the girl for a moment."
"What else is it for, Sir? Don was a little confused by Finn's request. "I think my job is done."
"Don't worry. After this, your business with that girl is completely over. I want you to tell her why she was in my house." Finn shoved a folder at the young man who had worked as his office's HRD manager for two years. "You are the right person to explain to the girl how she got to my house and tell her about this agreement."
"Why should I, Sir? Wouldn't it be better for you to explain it in person?" Don didn't want to see that girl again.
"Because he already knows you. Besides, as an HRD person, you must be used to dealing with various types of people," Finn answered lightly.
Don opened the folder Finn had given him and perused it carefully. He was stunned and seemed to be deep in thought. "Mr Finn, I apologize if my question was a little presumptuous. I really can't understand how a good girl like her could get into trouble like this with you?"
Finn smiled briefly, then exhaled. "Maybe she was a good girl, but it's a shame she had bad luck. She was at the wrong time and under the wrong circumstances. This situation is a delicate matter, Don. Sorry to get you into this."
Don nodded. "Tomorrow at seven o'clock, I will be at your house. May I go now, Sir?"
"Go ahead. Thanks in advance, Don." Finn took back the folder he had shown Don and put it away.
Don immediately left the room. His mind was racing again. He remembered the first time Finn had called and asked for his help.
Don had wanted nothing to do with this from the start. The problem he considered too odd. Don couldn't understand why his boss wanted him to pretend to be a clothing entrepreneur looking for a designer to help design a clothing store, especially when he met the girl he had to lie to.
A gentle-faced girl with a reassuring gaze and a friendly smile. Emily Madison, a very young interior designer, is only 23. Don couldn't bear to cheat the girl. This task was very hard for him. He is not a fraud and rarely lies. Moreover, what he had to lie to was a girl as innocent as that.
Emily seems like a nice girl. Don didn't understand how that girl could get into trouble with his boss. He could barely meet the girl's eyes. Her soothing eyes looked so honest and innocent. Don didn't have the heart to frame Emily. However, he can't refuse Finn's request.
