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 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...
Any Playful Thoughts
Rain led Neil to the rooftop, where the view was expansive and calming. She ordered a bubble tea for him and then also bought a selection of snacks. Then she guided him to a nearby bench to sit. As Neil hesitated, she gently nudged the bag toward him.
Pushing the bag of snacks toward him, she added softly, "Go ahead, Neil. These are some of my favourites. Maybe they'll help you relax a bit."
Neil took it and then sipped on the bubble tea. Rain smiled warmly, trying to ease the tension. She sat beside him, giving him enough space to feel comfortable, but staying close enough to offer quiet support.
"By the way, I'm Prosecutor Rain Clayton," she introduced herself, offering him her calling card, which he accepted with a nod.
Neil was fifteen and a close friend of Liza, the victim. Henry had spotted him in the CCTV footage from the night Liza was abducted by five gang members called the Savage Skulls while she was running an errand for her mother.
