    She’s marrying Kelly Westcott’s brother! I've never forgotten the way Kelly used all those cruel, ignorant stereotypes about Black people against me when we were kids. Maybe I should forgive her, but I just can't. And now I've found the perfect revenge, because I just met this super hot guy on my new interior design contract. He's an architect, and really nice--and did I mention hot? Maybe it's crazy, asking a perfect stranger to go to my sister's wedding with me, but I did it anyway. And he said yes! Kelly will burn with jealousy when she sees me with him. Derek: Oh, man. What have I done? I can’t believe I hid my real identity from Jayla. But I couldn't risk telling her the truth. She's the first woman I've wanted to date since I divorced my cheating wife five years ago. Jayla is beautiful, and I really like her--and she likes me for myself, not because I'm a billionaire. So now I’m pretending to be Derek Brandon, average guy, instead of D.B. Drake, billionaire CEO. I’ve got two weeks to win her over, and maybe by then Jayla will be into me enough to forgive me. It’s just a little white lie. Right?
