e'Shane Hartford thought that life was finally pulling together. He has the girl, the family, the money, and the power. However, there are always many bumps in the road before reaching the destination that every person strives to get to. Gearing up to take on his father's hustle, things couldn't happen at a worse time. Shane has always tried his best to stay away from darkness that is depression and failure, and constantly reached for happiness. Every time it seems as though he has finally made it to a great place, it's snatched away. Shane is faced with two options now. He can either be the monster everyone expects him to be, or he could fight for what it is that he desires most in the midst of bodies dropping like flies around him. With Cherie away in California, it's hard for Shane to cope, yet he tries to by replacing her with Jessica- the curvy diva who knows him inside and out. But is it a mistake? Cherie, herself, comes face to face with heartbreaking news about Shane and Jessica that no one bothered to tell her. She just so happened to stumble upon it. She's forced to stay away from him, even when her heart is crying out for him to choose her all over again. Because of this decision, she's lost. She doesn't know if she wants to be the villain who will tear apart a happy home and claim who is hers, or if she wants to accept defeat and let Shane live somewhat of a happy life as he's putting on. That will be hard to do with her ex-fianc on her trail. He sternly warned her to stay away from Richmond, Virginia, and that's exactly what he meant. Not a man who is accustomed to losing, he sets out to make her pay for disobeying in the first place, and will set a string of events in motion to prove to Shane that he- Terry- is the alpha and the omega. Will love conquer all? Or is it too late for Shane and Cherie to finally wise up and reconcile like reasonable adults, even if it means saving both their lives?
