Storyline
Synopsis: Emma Mason, a hardworking college student, is willing to sacrifice everything to save her boyfriend, Ethan Hurst, from a life-threatening illness. She works multiple jobs, endures exhaustion, and even risks her health through repeated blood donations to raise the $50,000 needed for his surgery. But Emma’s devotion shatters when she discovers Ethan is the wealthy son of the university president, perfectly healthy and engaged to the glamorous heiress, Vivian. What began as a romance was, in truth, a cruel bet: Ethan faked his illness to make Emma fall for him, aided by his friends and fiancée, who took pleasure in humiliating her. Publicly shamed and physically collapsing from overwork, Emma is hospitalized, where she learns she has kidney failure. Supported only by her kind senior, Carter Harvey, Emma starts to see the truth about Ethan and about herself. As Ethan struggles to explain himself and hold onto her, Emma begins to reclaim her dignity, determined to walk away from the lies, even as the toxic web around her threatens to pull her back in.
