The story
The short version. Revenge, 32 episodes on YourChannel. Back in her own life at the debutante ball, Victoria cuts ties with the family that sold her into the arranged match, while her half-sister Selena rushes to claim Richard and the empire.
The first episode opens on the New York debutante ball the Davis family uses to settle its arranged marriages. The announcer hails Victoria as the most envied woman in New York, married to the perfect Wall Street billionaire and taking over the business empire this year. Back three years, the ball where Victoria and Selena choose their first partners sets the family rule: the man who accepts the rose becomes a Davis son-in-law. Selena declares she has come back from death and found that Richard was reborn too, and strips away the perfect-husband image: he is a closeted man who only needs her as a beard and a sadist behind the public face.
Episode eight brings the two of them to the proposal Alex can afford in the life everyone thinks he has. He asks whether she really does not mind that he is a cripple; she answers that they already kissed, and tells him plainly that she wants him. He says he has no money for Tiffany diamonds, takes out his mother's relic, and asks it to be his proposal ring — the most precious gift he has ever received, matched against the possession she gave him first.
Episode four opens on the confrontation around Victoria's own choice. Snipers are already in position outside, waiting on a single order, while the room calls Alex a nameless cripple from god knows where. Alex introduces himself: "I am Alex Sinan. You took my rose. You kissed me. From this moment on, you are mine." He orders the scene recorded and posted publicly. Victoria answers the relatives who say her future will be ruined: his hands are far cleaner than the hypocrites making dirty deals in the dark, and she swears aloud that she will never regret choosing Alex as her husband.
