DAD, YOU REGRETTED TOO LATE

Ava Hale is the true heiress of Hale Jewelry and its most talented designer, but her father, Grant, hides her in a basement workshop while giving all his love and privilege to Sophia, the fake daughter who steals Ava’s designs, awards, and even her late mother’s necklace. After Sophia frames Ava in a hotel scandal, Ava is rescued by Damian Black, a mysterious masked billionaire. Once fully conscious, she chooses to stay with him for one unforgettable night, then disappears before dawn, leaving behind a silver ring called “Broken Vow.” When Hale Jewelry faces bankruptcy, Damian offers an investment on one condition: he will marry the designer who created the ring. Grant forces Ava into the engagement, believing Damian is disfigured and dangerous. But Damian recognizes her immediately. After he reveals his true face and identity, Sophia tries to steal the marriage, and Grant once again orders Ava to give up everything. This time, Ava refuses. With Damian supporting her as an equal, she builds her own brand, exposes Sophia’s plagiarism and hotel scheme, survives a sabotaged car crash, and discovers that her mother’s necklace proves she owns 51% of Hale Jewelry. Ava returns as the true heir, restores her mother’s name, and takes back everything stolen from her. Grant finally kneels before Ava in the same hall where he once humiliated her—but his regret comes too late.
