Three years into their marriage, Edward Sterling's brother, Charles Sterling, passed away unexpectedly. Vivian Hartley, who had once been Edward's first love and was now his brother's wife, came back to the country devastated. Ignoring Jane Sinclair's protests, Edward brought Vivian home himself. "Come on, Jane. Now that Charles is gone, it's up to me to take care of Vivian," Edward said. He put Vivian on a pedestal. He gave her free access to the study—a room Jane had never once set foot in. He even pulled up all the roses he'd planted in the yard for Jane, just because Vivian complained they smelled bad. And in the gloomy bar, Edward was so captivated that he kissed Vivian right on the lips. Jane felt completely let down. She took the offer from a famous research institute overseas, resigned, and left the country. But Edward, the icy and high-and-mighty CEO of Sterling Group, rented every billboard nationwide, weeping his heart out and pleading for her to come back.
