In the sprawling city of Los Angeles, where dreams are made and broken, a man named Richard endures the harshest trials of life. Richard, a delivery guy and waiter at a small eatery, is no ordinary man. Once a feared assassin in his father's Dragon Empire, he chose to leave that life behind and embrace a new identity, all in the name of love.

Richard's world is a precarious balance of hope and despair. He's married to Cassy, a woman from a wealthy family. Their love, once a bright flame, has been extinguished by the cruel realities of their differences. Cassy, spoiled and influenced by her family's wealth, has grown to despise Richard and their daughter, Melvin. Richard, despite the mistreatment, holds on to the hope of salvaging their marriage, a hope that is as fragile as a soap bubble.

On their fifth wedding anniversary, Richard's heart is filled with anticipation. He plans to buy a bracelet for Cassy, a token of his undying love. But his visit to the jewelry store turns into a nightmare. Cassy's best friend, Selena, humiliates him in public, accusing him of being a thief. The pain of her words cuts deep, but Richard endures it, his love for Cassy and his determination to keep his family together driving him forward.

When Cassy serves Richard divorce papers, his world shatters. Her cold words and heartless demeanor reveal the depth of her betrayal. But the greatest shock comes when Melvin collapses in school, diagnosed with mild leukemia. Richard, desperate to save his daughter's life, turns to the only people who can help - Cassy and her family.

The Parker family, with their wealth and privilege, look down on Richard with disdain. They see him as a nobody, a poor and disabled man who doesn't deserve to be part of their family. Cassy, instead of showing compassion, uses Melvin's illness as a bargaining chip. She agrees to pay for the surgery only if Richard signs the divorce papers. Richard, with no other choice, agrees, his love for his daughter outweighing his pride.

But Cassy's betrayal doesn't end there. When Richard arrives at the Parker Manor with the signed divorce papers, he discovers that she has no intention of keeping her promise. The Parker family, including Cassy's mother and grandmother, heap insults on him, adding to his pain. William Carter, Cassy's new lover, even kicks Richard, reveling in his humiliation.

Just when all seems lost, Richard's past comes back to haunt him. Michael, his father's butler, appears, revealing a long - hidden truth. Richard is the heir to the Dragon Empire, and his father had been secretly watching him, testing him. Michael offers to help Melvin, but Richard is hesitant. He doesn't want to rely on his family's wealth and power, but he also knows that his daughter's life is at stake.

In a moment of desperation, Richard accepts Michael's help. Melvin's surgery is a success, and Richard's world begins to change. He realizes that he can no longer be the weak and submissive man he was. He is the heir to a powerful empire, and he has the strength and resources to take revenge on those who wronged him and his daughter.

But as he prepares for his revenge, he also has to face his own demons. He has to come to terms with his past as an assassin and find a way to balance his thirst for vengeance with his new role as a father.
