Fate brought them together in a surprise marriage... Will they choose freedom or give in to a love that could last forever? ***** Rain Clayton’s life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers she’s suddenly married to a billionaire named Alexander Lancaster, a powerful and dangerously captivating man who wants their marriage over before it even begins... 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...

Rain had recovered quickly and was now staying in the hospital's VIP room, where Alexander had also been transferred. His condition had stabilized, and there was no longer a need for him to remain in the ICU. However, the question of when he might wake up lingered, casting a shadow over her days.
A therapist visited daily to massage Alexander's body and maintain his muscle health during his unconscious state. Rain had taken it upon herself to learn the techniques, determined to care for him personally once she regained full strength.
"Today, we won the case," Rain said softly, her voice filled with a mix of relief and resolve as she sat beside Alexander's bed. "Prosecutor Wayne made sure that everyone involved in the Obsidian Order was sent straight to prison." She gently caressed his hand, her fingers tracing the lines of his palm. "Later, I'll see Dina before they transfer her. I need to face her one last time."
