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...

Invites a Colleague

Rain and Matt went out as she started working on the case she was on. They headed to the hospital to meet with the victim of a brutal gang attack. The elderly man had been stabbed after trying to defend his store from being robbed. 

"Do you think he'll be able to talk? I heard he's in pretty bad shape," Matt asked her.

"We'll find out soon enough," Rain replied with a sigh.

They entered the hospital room where the elderly man lay, connected to various medical devices. His face was pale, and he looked exhausted but aware.

"Mr. Martinez," Rain politely addressed, "we're here to take your statement about the attack. We need to get your side of the story so we can bring the perpetrators to justice."

Mr. Martinez's eyes suddenly flickered with fear. He swallowed hard and looked away. "I—I don't know if I can do this," he said weakly. "I'm scared for my family. One of those men… their family is very powerful. They've already threatened me."
