Raised by a family that never cared for her and desperate to avoid a twisted arranged marriage, Rain seizes this unexpected twist of fate. Her new husband might be a cold-hearted billionaire, but he's her only escape. Yet Alexander demands a swift divorce. Refusing to lose her one chance at freedom, Rain strikes a risky bargain to keep their marriage alive, even if it means playing by Alexander’s rules. She just has to convince him to want her around—FOREVER. Weeks into their unexpected arrangement, Rain begins to see through Alexander’s icy exterior. But one night, she’s taken by surprise. “What are you doing?” Rain burst out, eyes wide as Alexander casually slid into her bed. “Performing husbandly duties,” he smirked. “You can’t stay here! It’s against the 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...

Alexander nodded stiffly, though he didn't fully relax. He turned to Dion, who had just returned. "Ensure everything is ready for the transfer. I want no delays when the time comes."
Dion gave a quick nod. "Already taken care of, Boss."
Sanya approached Alexander, placing a reassuring hand on his arm. "She's out of danger, Alexander. That's the most important thing right now."
William chimed in, "We'll stay here with you until she wakes up."
Alexander didn't respond immediately, his eyes fixed on the doors leading to the recovery room. "I won't leave her side," he said softly, almost to himself.
Then he looked at Tim and demanded, "I want to see her right now."
Tim allowed Alexander into the recovery room, where he immediately walked to Rain's bedside. His usually composed demeanor cracked as he gazed at her pale, unconscious form. Taking her hand gently, he pressed it to his lips, his eyes misting over.
