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... A few weeks passed since their surprise marriage… “What are you doing?” Rain burst out, her eyes wide as she watched Alexander crawl onto her bed. “Performing husbandly duties,” he replied with a casual smirk. “You can’t sleep here! 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...

They Matter

Rain had a busy Monday. Right now she stood at the front of the courtroom to deliver her her closing argument. The trial of the five men from the Savage Skulls, accused of the brutal gang rape of Liza Torres, had been long and gruelling, but today, justice would finally be served.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the court," Rain began, her eyes scanning the room, making sure her words struck deeply. "The evidence in this case is irrefutable. The brutality inflicted on Liza Torres, a young woman whose only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time, is beyond comprehension. These men acted without remorse, without hesitation, and with a complete disregard for human life and dignity."
