Fate brought them together in a surprise marriage...

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...

Days passed as Rain observed Alexander steadily progress in his rehabilitation and therapy sessions. With a dedicated team of professionals overseeing his treatment, she no longer needed to be at his side throughout the day.
Realizing this, Rain decided it was time to return to work. While she cherished being near Alexander, she also understood the importance of giving him space to breathe and adjust without her constant presence. Her close friend Sanya had encouraged the idea, claiming it would be a good strategy to let Alexander miss her.
"You can't always be clingy, Rain," Sanya had said with a smirk. "If you give him some room, it'll make him realize how much he wants you around."
