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...

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...

Dr. Ivan Hartmann leaned over the fluorescent-lit workbench in his laboratory, surrounded by a chaotic array of test tubes, pipettes, and data screens pulsating with complex algorithms. 

The sterile smell of antiseptic hung in the air, mingling with the faint hum of machinery in the background. He adjusted his glasses, his sharp blue eyes narrowing as he studied the profile of Liam Rock Lancaster. His case had become a focal point of his research on glioblastoma multiforme.

The pressure to find a breakthrough weighed heavily on Ivan's shoulders. He had dedicated years to studying this aggressive form of brain cancer, and the clock was ticking.
