Pressured to get married or lose her father's financial support to pay for her mother's medical bills, Joanna Baker, the illegitimate daughter of the Baker family, is devastated when her boyfriend chooses another woman over her on their wedding day. Joanna, feeling distraught, witnesses a man in a wheelchair proposing to his girlfriend at a restaurant. The girlfriend's rejection and subsequent insult for his disability left everyone stunned. Feeling a shared sense of betrayal, she approaches the man with a vengeful proposition. “Excuse me, sir. Your girlfriend dumped you, and my boyfriend chose another woman over me. Let's get married for six months and get revenge on them." What will Joanna do when she finds out the man she proposed marriage to was none other than Alexander King, the heir of the wealthiest family in NYC? He was also the cold CEO of King Multinational, with a hidden identity, Salvatore Black, whose name caused even presidents shiver? Has she just signed a deal with the devil?
Alex was furious that his hidden secrets were being revealed to Joanna, unaware that she already knew.
He signaled to Aiden, who approached him as Alex whispered,
"Colton must not survive another day."
Despite giving Colton a chance to stay away from Joanna and live, he was enraged by Colton's public declaration of love for her. Alex feared that Colton's words might trigger Joanna's memory of their past relationship.
He couldn't tolerate another rival, even if their relationship was contractual. No man had the right to approach Joanna until after the divorce.
Aiden hesitated for a moment. While he usually followed Alex's orders without question, he wondered why Alex wouldn't let Joanna move on after the divorce if he didn't love her.
Nevertheless, he nodded and said, "It will be done."
He only hoped that Alex would not be the one to retaliate after the contract ended, as killing Joanna's ex was unrealistic.
