"You need money and I need a wife, so deal or no deal? Lucian lazily asked ignoring the woman who was glaring at him as if wishing for him to drop dead at the moment "Just know it's a contract and nothing more!! Summer boomed "It is what it is, if not so urgent, I wouldn't consider a flat woman like you" Summer almost puked blood hearing him Flat woman? did he just say I'm flat?! She subconsciously looked down at her boobs and understood "What a spoilt unscrupulous man! She mumbled and Lucian's gaze darkened as he gripped her arm tight "What did you say? He demanded, his face gloomy.... ********* Summer Hales, a young woman with a complex past, found herself entangled in a web of responsibilities, dropping out of school to undertake multiple part-time jobs solely to alleviate the burden of her brother's escalating hospital bills. Her resilience was encapsulated in the phrase "Rudeness ain't only for the rich," as she navigated life with a blend of boldness and subtlety. In matters of the heart, Summer was paradoxical. She approached love with an unwavering commitment, yet harbored a devious edge when consumed by hatred. Behind her facade of courage, fearlessness, strength, and fierceness lay a vulnerability shielded from a world that had previously wounded her. "Never fall and keep tall" became her daily mantra, a testament to her determination not to succumb to vulnerabilities. On the other hand is Lucian Stuart, a formidable and emotionally guarded man in Los Angeles. He embodied power, disdain for love, and a reputation as a stern figure with a penchant for retribution against those who wronged him. Despite societal expectations and the call of circumstance, Lucian found himself in need of a wife, a notion at odds with his aversion to love and women. Fate, however, wove an unexpected narrative, pushing Summer and Lucian into a contractual alliance—a temporary marriage born out of necessity. The intriguing question now lingered in the air: Could love blossom between two individuals with starkly different perspectives on life and love? As Summer and Lucian navigated the complexities of their arrangement, the answer unfolded in the intricate dance of emotions, challenging preconceived notions and reshaping the contours of their lives.
