Surprise Marriage to a Billionaire
Rain Clayton's life takes a wild turn when she trashes her cheating boyfriend's car, only to find out it wasn’t his—it belonged to a stranger. To make matters worse, she accidentally discovers she's married to this stranger, none other than Alexander Lancaster, the reclusive Vice Chairman and CEO of the powerful Lancaster Group. Raised in a family that mistreated her and is now pressured by her father to marry the mayor’s psychopathic son, Rain sees this surprise marriage as a blessing in disguise. After years of suffering, it seems the heavens have finally taken pity on her, gifting her a handsome billionaire husband—a man ruthless to his enemies and exactly what she needs to escape her family's clutches. But there's one major problem: Alexander wants an immediate divorce. Determined to keep him, Rain strikes a bargain to extend their marriage, under his terms. Now all she has to do is convince him to keep her forever... A few weeks passed since their surprise marriage… “What are you doing?” Rain burst out, her eyes wide and her glare intense as she watched Alexander crawl onto her bed. “Performing husbandly duties,” he replied with a casual smirk. “You can’t sleep here! It’s against our contract!” “I’m not breaking it,” Alexander said with a shrug. “The contract specifies that you’ll fulfill all wifely duties, excluding sharing my bed. It doesn’t say anything about me not performing husbandly duties, including sharing your bed.” The situation had shifted, and it seemed like she was no longer the only one in control...
A Spy
Rain woke up early, determined to keep her promise to Alexander. She went to the kitchen and found Chef Philip, the quiet, middle-aged head chef, already hard at work.
"Good morning, Chef Philip," she greeted him with a smile. He gave a curt nod, not saying much, as was his habit. Without hesitation, she added, "I'll just be making a beef stew for my husband—no peanuts this time—so please continue with your work."
Chef Philip glanced at her and nodded again. A few minutes later, as Rain began prepping ingredients, he surprised her by asking, "Do you need help?"
She smiled warmly. "I'm fine for now, but I might need your expert taste later. I'm not the best at balancing flavours."
"Alright, just let me know," he replied in his usual calm tone.
As Rain worked, she bit her lip thoughtfully before saying, "I'm sorry you've been left to manage everything alone. I hope Uncle Ben finds someone soon to replace Chef Sarah."
