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...
Alexander felt like the air had been sucked from the room. Rain's boldness left him completely speechless, overwhelmed by how unapologetically vocal she was about her feelings. She was fearlessly forward and impossible to ignore.
Struggling to hide his embarrassment, he frowned and managed to speak, "Stop messing with me, Rain!"
She blinked innocently, her wide eyes fixed on him. "But I'm not messing with you! I meant it. I want to keep you," she replied, her voice sincere.
Alexander's heart was racing, pounding so hard he feared it might burst from his chest. This woman would be the death of him at this rate.
"If you say another word like that, I'll have you kicked out next," he muttered, his tone serious, though he didn't mean it. He was merely trying to calm his chaotic nerves, but Rain had a way of disarming him with every word.
