Rain Clayton’s life goes sideways when her attempt at revenge backfires, wrecking a stranger’s car instead of her cheating boyfriend’s. But the real shock comes when she learns she’s accidentally married to the car’s owner: Alexander Lancaster, a powerful and dangerously charming CEO with no intention of staying married. 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...

She fell in love at first sight and did everything to conquer the man of her dreams... Her General... [warning: R-18 content *No Rape *no major misunderstanding] Status: Completed Novel ----- Zacharias Lim was a loyal, diligent and persevering soldier. Despite his poor background, he had managed to rise steadily from the lowest rank of a Private to the youngest and one of the most respected Generals in his country. He was a principled man who always acted by the book and followed every rule. Because he had grown up in a poverty-stricken condition and having had to work extremely hard to get to where he was now, he detested people who didn't appreciate life just because they were lucky enough to have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth. That was until he met Keira Chan... Keira Chan was a beautiful, bright, mischievous and confident young woman who always knew what she wanted. Having been born as the only daughter of one of the richest and most prominent families in the country, where gold was treated as sand, she had always led a carefree life and she could always get what she wanted without having to exert much effort. That was until she met Zacharias Lim... It just so happened that she fell in love with the young General at first sight and was set to win his heart. And thus her laborious but hilarious journey to get him to be her man ensued... ====== Excerpt: “General Zacharias Lim, I, Keira Chan, will absolutely get admitted to that Academy so I can get closer to the person I like for the first time in my life.” Zach could smell the sweetness of her breath mixed with alcohol. But that was not it, because for some reason his body was reacting on his own. At that instant, he knew what could happen next, but instead of pushing Keira away from him, he did nothing but stayed put, it was like he was anticipating what would happen next as he remained frozen. Then, Keira added in her hoarse sweet voice, “I will enter the Military Academy to conquer you, General Zach. So be ready, because I never take a ‘NO’ for an answer.” That was the last words that Keira dropped before she closed the gap and kissed Zach on his lips, leaving him just staring at her in bewilderment... =========== Author's Note: Hope you enjoy reading this ORIGINAL novel of mine.

La vida de Rain Clayton da un giro salvaje cuando destroza el coche de su novio infiel, solo para descubrir que no era suyo: pertenecía a un extraño. Para empeorar las cosas, descubre accidentalmente que está casada con este extraño, nada menos que Alexander Lancaster, el recluso Vicepresidente y Director Ejecutivo del poderoso Grupo Lancaster. Criada en una familia que la maltrató y ahora presionada por su padre para casarse con el hijo psicópata del alcalde, Rain ve este matrimonio sorpresa como una bendición disfrazada. Después de años de sufrimiento, parece que los cielos finalmente han tenido piedad de ella, regalándole un esposo multimillonario guapo, un hombre despiadado con sus enemigos y exactamente lo que necesita para escapar de las garras de su familia. Pero hay un problema importante: Alexander quiere un divorcio inmediato. Determinada a mantenerlo, Rain hace un trato para extender su matrimonio, bajo sus condiciones. Ahora todo lo que tiene que hacer es convencerlo de que la mantenga para siempre... Unas semanas pasaron desde su matrimonio sorpresa... —¿Qué estás haciendo? —exclamó Rain, con los ojos muy abiertos mientras observaba a Alexander trepar a su cama. —Cumpliendo los deberes maritales —respondió él con una sonrisa casual. —¡No puedes dormir aquí! ¡Está en contra de nuestro contrato! —No lo estoy rompiendo —dijo Alexander encogiéndose de hombros—. El contrato especifica que cumplirás todos los deberes de esposa, excepto compartir mi cama. No dice nada sobre que yo no pueda cumplir los deberes maritales, incluido compartir tu cama. La situación había cambiado, y parecía que ya no era la única en control...
A vida de Rain Clayton toma um rumo inesperado quando ela destrói o carro do seu namorado infiel, só para descobrir que não era dele — pertencia a um estranho. Para piorar a situação, ela acidentalmente descobre que está casada com esse estranho, ninguém menos que Alexander Lancaster, o recluso Vice-Presidente e CEO do poderoso Grupo Lancaster. Criada em uma família que a maltratou e agora é pressionada pelo pai para se casar com o filho psicopata do prefeito, Rain vê esse casamento surpresa como uma bênção disfarçada. Após anos de sofrimento, parece que os céus finalmente tiveram piedade dela, presenteando-a com um marido bilionário e bonito — um homem implacável com seus inimigos e exatamente o que ela precisa para escapar das garras de sua família. Mas há um grande problema: Alexander quer um divórcio imediato. Determinada a mantê-lo, Rain propõe um acordo para estender o casamento, sob os termos dele. Agora tudo que ela tem que fazer é convencê-lo a mantê-la para sempre... Algumas semanas se passaram desde o casamento surpresa... “O que você está fazendo?” Rain explodiu, seus olhos arregalados enquanto observava Alexander rastejar para a cama dela. “Cumprindo deveres conjugais,” ele respondeu com um sorriso casual. “Você não pode dormir aqui! Isso vai contra o nosso contrato!” “Não estou quebrando,” Alexander disse, dando de ombros. “O contrato especifica que você cumprirá todos os deveres de esposa, exceto compartilhar minha cama. Não diz nada sobre eu não cumprir os deveres de marido, incluindo compartilhar sua cama.” A situação havia mudado, e parecia que ela já não era a única no controle...
La vie de Rain Clayton prend un tournant inattendu lorsqu'elle détruit la voiture de son petit ami infidèle, seulement pour découvrir qu'elle n'appartient pas à lui—elle est celle d'un inconnu. Pis encore, elle découvre par accident qu'elle est mariée à cet inconnu, nul autre qu'Alexandre Lancaster, le Vice-Président reclus et PDG du puissant Groupe Lancaster. Élevée dans une famille qui la maltraitait et maintenant sous la pression de son père pour épouser le fils psychopathe du maire, Rain voit ce mariage surprise comme une bénédiction déguisée. Après des années de souffrance, il semble que les cieux aient enfin pris pitié d'elle, lui offrant un mari milliardaire séduisant—un homme impitoyable envers ses ennemis et exactement ce dont elle a besoin pour échapper aux griffes de sa famille. Mais il y a un gros problème : Alexandre veut un divorce immédiat. Déterminée à le garder, Rain conclut un marché pour prolonger leur mariage, selon ses conditions. Maintenant, tout ce qu'elle a à faire, c'est le convaincre de la garder pour toujours... Quelques semaines ont passé depuis leur mariage surprise… « Que fais-tu ? » s'exclama Rain, les yeux écarquillés alors qu'elle observait Alexandre ramper sur son lit. « J'accomplis mes devoirs de mari, » répondit-il avec un sourire narquois. « Tu ne peux pas dormir ici ! C'est contraire à notre contrat ! » « Je ne le viole pas, » dit Alexandre en haussant les épaules. « Le contrat spécifie que tu rempliras tous les devoirs d'épouse, sauf partager mon lit. Il ne dit rien concernant le fait que je ne puisse pas accomplir les devoirs de mari, y compris partager ton lit. » La situation avait basculé, et on dirait qu'elle n'était plus la seule à avoir le contrôle...
Rain Claytons Leben gerät aus den Fugen, als sie das Auto ihres betrügerischen Freundes demoliert, nur um herauszufinden, dass es nicht ihm gehört, sondern einem Fremden. Zu allem Überfluss entdeckt sie zufällig, dass sie mit diesem Fremden verheiratet ist, und zwar mit keinem Geringeren als Alexander Lancaster, dem zurückgezogen lebenden stellvertretenden Vorsitzenden und CEO der mächtigen Lancaster Group. Rain, die in einer Familie aufgewachsen ist, die sie misshandelt hat, und nun von ihrem Vater unter Druck gesetzt wird, den psychopathischen Sohn des Bürgermeisters zu heiraten, sieht diese überraschende Heirat als Segen an. Nach Jahren des Leidens scheint der Himmel endlich Mitleid mit ihr zu haben und schenkt ihr einen gut aussehenden Milliardärs-Ehemann - einen Mann, der rücksichtslos zu seinen Feinden ist und genau das, was sie braucht, um den Fängen ihrer Familie zu entkommen. Doch es gibt ein großes Problem: Alexander will die sofortige Scheidung. Rain ist fest entschlossen, ihn zu behalten, und handelt eine Verlängerung ihrer Ehe zu seinen Bedingungen aus. Jetzt muss sie ihn nur noch davon überzeugen, sie für immer zu behalten... Seit ihrer Überraschungshochzeit sind einige Wochen vergangen... "Was machst du da?" Rain platzte heraus, ihre Augen weit aufgerissen, als sie Alexander auf ihr Bett krabbeln sah. "Ich erfülle meine ehelichen Pflichten", antwortete er mit einem lässigen Grinsen. "Du kannst hier nicht schlafen! Das ist gegen unseren Vertrag!" "Ich breche ihn nicht", sagte Alexander achselzuckend. "Der Vertrag besagt, dass du alle ehelichen Pflichten erfüllst, nur nicht mein Bett teilst. Er sagt nichts darüber aus, dass ich meine ehelichen Pflichten nicht erfülle, auch nicht, dass ich dein Bett mit dir teile." Die Situation hatte sich verändert, und es schien, dass sie nicht mehr die einzige war, die die Kontrolle hatte...
