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...

Apology

Rain thoroughly enjoyed her time talking with Eric. His jolly personality and story of his own experiences as a lawyer made the conversation not only insightful but also entertaining. 

He was generous with advice, offering valuable pointers for her career while keeping the atmosphere light with his comical anecdotes from inside the courtroom. Their conversation flowed effortlessly. 

As they sipped their tea, Eric leaned back in his chair, chuckling. "You know, there was this one trial where I was defending a man accused of stealing a prized parrot. The prosecutor was so focused on grilling my client, asking all sorts of questions, when suddenly, out of nowhere, the parrot flew into the courtroom and started mimicking everything the prosecutor was saying! The poor guy could barely get a word in, and every time he tried to speak, the parrot would just repeat him—louder!"
