Raised by a family that never cared for her and desperate to avoid a twisted arranged marriage, Rain seizes this unexpected twist of fate.

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.

Rain finally exhaled deeply after Alexander left, feeling the tension drain from her body. She slumped onto the sofa, overwhelmed by the whirlwind of emotions that had just swept through her apartment.
"Come out now, Clifford. I know you've been eavesdropping," she called out, her voice a mix of exhaustion and amusement.

Rain gave him an awkward smile. "I'm sorry. It all happened so fast. Honestly, I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything. But don't worry, I can handle it…"
Clifford's expression grew more serious, his usual light-hearted demeanour replaced with a stern look Rain wasn't used to seeing. "What happened, Rain?"
