Aria has loved her bodyguard Jess for three years and given him everything that comes with that. He gives it to Vera, his illegitimate daughter, and Vera wants more than attention. She wants Aria's mother's estate and every keepsake that proves Aria had a mother at all. Together with her father and Jess, she starts taking both.
Aria stops. She marries Grant, a disabled tycoon with his own reasons for the arrangement, and begins the slower work of taking her inheritance back piece by piece. Vera's mask comes off in public. Jess turns out to be far wealthier than the man who carried her bags, and by the time he understands what he threw away, Aria is standing somewhere he can't reach.
