Plot
Denise Bailey, the heir of the Bailey family and an astute ammunition dealer, was on his way back from his weekend walkout when he saw a distressed maiden on the street. He could not imagine that someone could be standing on the road at that time, with the freezing temperatures of Dover in Kent. Before he could process her reason, he saw the almost frozen maiden waving at him, and he halted. Fortunately, that task was her lifeline. Before Denise could park, she had slumped.
Louis Bailey, a real estate broker, had a heated argument with his first love, Olivia, the previous night over her pregnancy. She bluntly refused to accept his proposal for an abortion and left his house at Sevenoaks angrily. To escape her parents' wrath, she headed to Dover, in search of her school mother, Julie Bailey Winston. Louis woke up the next morning realized his folly, and went searching for his pregnant first love. He made frantic efforts to get her, but she was nowhere to be found.
A month later, the devastated Louis walked into the registry to attend his brother's wedding. He went haywire when he discovered that the bride was Olivia, his pregnant first love. “I must recover her and my baby,” he resolved. Meanwhile, Denise could not wait to lay his hand on the cruel man, who mistreated an innocent pregnant girl.
Louis refused to love again and opted for a surgery of memory erasure just to forget Olivia, which failed.
Cassandra, who loved Louis unconditionally, accepted to marry him but conceived through IVF because he would not sleep with her. She named the child Olivia to make him happy, but he was not.
When she got tired of investing her energy in the one-sided relationship, she opted for a divorce. Louis came to realize how much they meant to him. He made peace with her and they lived happily.
