Kayla is assaulted by the words her ex-husband Duardo has uttered-he's vowed to take back what is his, and he seems to think that includes her! She detests him more than anyone else-he destroyed her father's company and caused her parents' deaths. She swore she'd never see him again, but when her brother is attacked by loan sharks, Kayla has no choice but to crawl back to Duardo for his help. And sure enough Duardo agrees to help her...for a price.
