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...
Rain parted her lips, utterly speechless.
"What? You didn't expect something like this from me?" Alexander teased as they reached the shore. He helped her out of the boat, guiding her toward the gazebo.
Inside, a table was set with exquisite attention to detail. Soft music filled the air, creating an intimate atmosphere. Alexander pulled out her chair, and Rain took her seat, beaming as he joined her.
"You really never fail to surprise me," she said, her wide smile reflecting how special she felt in this moment. It meant so much that Alexander had gone to such lengths for her.
Dinner began with an array of their favourite dishes, carefully chosen to please them both. They savoured each course under the stars, the lanterns in the distance casting a soft glow across the lake. Between bites, Alexander shared small memories from his childhood, revealing delightful details she hadn't known before. His stories made her laugh and filled her with warmth.
