Isabella Sinclair’s life always glittered under the bright lights of fame as one of Hollywood's rising stars. But behind the scenes, she wrestles with a secret two-year marriage to the aloof Victor Ha wthorne, the enigmatic CEO of Hawthorne Industries. Their lives collide with chaos when sensational rumors ignite the press, threatening to unravel her carefully curated image and turning her world upside down. As headlines scream of betrayal and scandal, Isabella’s heart shatters—will her followers forsake her over a fabricated affair? Just when things couldn’t worsen, fate deals a crushing blow: Victor suffers a devastating car accident, causing him to lose memories from pivotal years of his life—including those shared with Isabella. As his wife and confidante, her desperation grows. Can she reclaim the love they once had when Victor awakens with no memory of their life together? Trapped in the unforgiving glare of the entertainment industry, Isabella must put on a brave front as the couple embarks on a reality show meant to rewrite their public image. But the stakes rise when Victor's amnesia morphs their marriage into a game of rediscovery and deception. Isabella's attempts to rekindle their affection collide with Victor's bewilderment; he is still the same handsome businessman, yet utterly unfamiliar with her. Tension mounts as Isabella battles her insecurities, fearing her husband’s heart may not return to her, battling external pressures and doubt from both the media and the people around them. As the truth unfolds, will they forge a new path, or will the relationship they fought to build disintegrate under the weight of their histories? In a world where every misstep is magnified, Isabella must confront her deepest fears and leverage every ounce of her talent to save not only her reputation but potentially the love of her life.
