Sorry, But I'm With Your Daddy

Valerie's engagement to Oliver ends at her own bachelor party, where she finds him in bed with her sister Belinda. Up on the hotel roof afterward she falls into conversation with a man who turns out to be Dean, Oliver's father and the owner of the hotel chain. She goes through with the wedding day only to lay out the affair in front of everyone and walk out of the ceremony. What follows is worse than the humiliation. Her mother's health collapses, and Valerie is maneuvered by people around her into signing a do-not-resuscitate order she does not fully understand at the time. Dean offers her a marriage on paper, which gives her a legal footing and a place to stand while she deals with her family and with Oliver and Belinda, who do not accept being exposed quietly. The arrangement was supposed to be a matter of terms, and neither of them planned for it to become anything else.
