Giselle, a design student, scrimped and saved for three years to support her "struggling photographer boyfriend," only to discover on the day she learned she was pregnant that he was actually Julian—the heir to a massive conglomerate—and that her sincere love had been nothing more than a game for his amusement. Heartbroken and disillusioned, she cut all ties and fled to a distant place under an assumed name to raise her child alone. Julian realized the truth only after finding her prenatal check-up report; he mobilized his immense power in a desperate bid to win her back, yet his obsessive attempts to confine and control her only drove her further away. When they reunite five years later—amidst a custody battle and a tangle of old grievances and new feelings—Giselle finds redemption through the kindness of a gentle lawyer, finally breaking free from her past to embrace a new life.
