Story Recap

Episode 1

Gabrielle Taylor's day on set turns ugly fast. Someone screams at her, she fires back, and the truth lands like a slap: her boyfriend Warren is getting engaged today — to her best friend Camilla. Just like that, the shoot is over and she's replaced. Her modeling career ends on the spot. Meanwhile, Kyle Wright is the kind of man who says he prefers profitable investments over pretty faces, and he's pouring money into the very company that just cut her loose. Two worlds are about to collide, and neither of them knows it yet.

Episode 2

At Warren and Camilla's engagement party, the happy couple plays their part for the crowd — until Gabrielle steps up to the microphone. She doesn't whisper. She tells the room she was Warren's girlfriend until last week, right in front of family and friends. Camilla's mask slips as the guests turn. Gabrielle twists the knife with a smile, needling Camilla about being the "mutual friend" who always wanted what she had. It's a public detonation, and the fallout is only beginning. Who invited her, and who's about to pay for it?

Episode 3

Gabrielle's toast ends with a curse on the couple, and Camilla scrambles to laugh it off as nonsense. But the damage is done — a warning cuts through the room that an inheritance and an investment could vanish if this isn't fixed. Warren chases after Gabrielle, and the math hits her: twelve months of cheating while she was blind. She doesn't want his excuses. Spotting a waiter, she grabs him and kisses him hard — partly to spite Warren, partly to feel something else. She has no idea who she just kissed, or that he's about to matter more than any of them.

Episode 4

The kiss lands differently than Gabrielle expected. Warren is furious, Camilla is stunned, and the "waiter" isn't rattled at all — he kisses her back and even compliments her. When the scuffle with Warren escalates, the man steps in and orders Warren to back off. Mark, watching from the sidelines, can't hide his surprise: his boss hasn't looked alive like that in ages. Back at the office, Kyle Wright coolly orders the papers on his desk handled — then asks for everything there is to know about the woman he just kissed. The investigation begins.

Episode 5

Mark's file lays it out: Gabrielle Taylor, professional model, just fired from BNC — the same company Kyle just invested in. Kyle waves it off, insisting he has a company to run and no time for women. At home, the ground shifts under Gabrielle again. Cassandra makes clear nothing in the house belongs to her, and she's already taken the house Gabrielle's parents left her. Gabrielle pleads that she cooked everything, that this was her home. Then Mark floats a quiet suggestion to Kyle: his assistant at the penthouse is a problem — why not hire the unemployed model?

Episode 6

Cassandra gives Gabrielle a deadline: clean up, and if she's still jobless by the end of the day, she's out. Then a call changes everything — Gabrielle has secured an interview as house assistant at Kyle Wright's company. She insists she never applied, but the mention of a monthly salary with bonuses rings a bell she can't quite place. She takes the address. Someone is pulling strings behind her back, and she's walking straight into it. The question is who — and why they chose her of all people.

Episode 7

Gabrielle arrives for the interview and meets Mark, whose voice she recognizes from the call. He jokes that she should save her handshake for the CEO, then leads her in. The office feels oddly familiar to her, though she can't say why. Kyle Wright greets her politely, and Mark has clearly briefed her on the role — she'll be living with Kyle and taking care of his personal needs. It's a strange, intimate job description for a stranger, and Gabrielle is only starting to realize exactly whose house she just agreed to move into.

Episode 8

Sitting across from Kyle, Gabrielle panics internally — she's nearly certain she kissed the richest man in town at that hotel. She tries to play it off, claiming she has a generic face everyone forgets. Kyle gives nothing away, though the question hangs: does he remember her? He hands her the job requirements instead. She'll relay his needs to the staff, the pay is generous, and the commitment is a full year. Then he adds one more rule: no romantic relationships while she's employed. No distractions. She agrees — not knowing how hard that rule will be to keep.

Episode 9

Gabrielle's interview is interrupted when Cassandra calls, demanding she come home now and threatening to throw her things in the trash. She has to leave immediately, and Kyle offers to drive her to collect her belongings — she can start today. On the way, he brushes off the expensive gifts he brought for her family as pocket change, saying they'll show her relatives she landed somewhere good. But the welcome waiting at the house is anything but warm. Cassandra greets her with contempt, calling her a useless burden in front of everyone.

Episode 10

Cassandra refuses to calm down, and when Gabrielle explains she got the job and her boss drove her home, Cassandra accuses her of lying and bringing a con artist into the house. The expensive gifts only make it worse. Kyle steps in, but Cassandra throws Gabrielle out anyway — even though Gabrielle insists the house belonged to her parents. Outside, Kyle promises to help her get it back and offers her his penthouse, telling her to forget these heartless people. Then her phone blows up: someone demanding to know why she isn't answering, mocking the fancy car. Gabrielle has a new roof — and a new set of enemies.

Watch the next episode to see whether Gabrielle takes Kyle's penthouse deal — and what he'll want in return.
