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...

As their car entered the gates of the orphanage, Rain noticed Alexander's slight gulp.
"Relax," she murmured against his neck before pressing a soft kiss there. She was feeling extra clingy, but considering how he'd been holding her close the entire ride, she figured he didn't mind.
Grateful for the privacy screen in the car, Rain chuckled when he finally sighed and muttered, "Do you enjoy leaving hickeys on my neck? How come you won't let me do the same to you?"
Laughing, Rain gave his neck one last playful nip before moving off his lap. "We're here," she announced, glancing outside.
As the car stopped, Rain quickly stepped out, catching sight of Philip and Mia among the kids sweeping the front yard. She hadn't told anyone she'd be visiting. She wanted it to be a surprise.
The moment one of the kids spotted her, she shouted, "Pretty Sis!" and, in seconds, the rest of the kids rushed toward her.
