My Terminally Ill Boyfriend

Stella Lane runs a grill at a street food market and has spent five years caring for her frail boyfriend, Joseph Mendel, buying his medication and paying his living expenses. Then twelve Rolls-Royces arrive to reclaim him as the illegitimate heir of a wealthy New York dynasty, and he leaves with her roommate, Sienna, telling reporters Stella is just the maid who took care of him. He writes her a check for a hundred thousand dollars and warns her never to speak of their connection.

Resolved to accept the loss and buy a home of her own, Stella keeps working her cart until a wealthy stranger, Adrian Hunt, offers her a job as his private chef. At his estate he insists she knows him, and as she studies his face she recalls another face, long ago, ravaged by fire and scars. She realizes who he is and runs.
