Caroline Edwards, the daughter of a peacekeeping officer and a military doctor, was inspired by her parents from a young age. She earned a place at the prestigious West Point and rose to become the youngest-ever member of the National Academy of Sciences, a Nobel Prize laureate in Physics, and the lead of a critical military drone swarm project.
During an airstrike, her parents heroically sacrificed their lives. Caroline was rescued from the wreckage by her childhood friend, Roman Harrison, though she mistakenly believed it was Axel Smith who had saved her. Out of a sense of gratitude, she married Axel, concealing her true identity and using her brilliance to build his company from the ground up.
The delicate balance shattered when Axel's former flame, Natalia Lewis, returned. Natalia skillfully sowed discord between Caroline and Axel. Blinded by his lingering attachment, Axel began to see Caroline as jealous and petty, repeatedly siding with Natalia at critical junctures and dismissing Caroline's feelings.
Heartbroken and disillusioned, Caroline decided to walk away from the marriage and reclaim the stellar career she had put on hold.
Only after facing repeated failures in business without her guidance did Axel finally grasp Caroline's immense value. His attempts to "win her back" were not pleas but arrogant demands.
However, Caroline's decision was final. She had moved on, choosing to be with Roman, the man who had truly saved her all those years ago. Axel's downfall was complete when Natalia betrayed him yet again, running off with the company's funds and leaving him with nothing but bankruptcy and ruin.
