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...
While Rain had hugged Alexander earlier, his thoughts drifted to how his father had started pestering him and William about marriage and giving him a grandson. His father would often say that he wasn't getting any younger and that life was short—he wanted to experience being a grandfather before he passed away.
Now, it all made sense. His father's cancer diagnosis had been the catalyst. That was when he began meddling in their personal lives, something he hadn't done before. He had hidden his desire for grandchildren behind jokes.
Rain's suggestions on how to proceed further were perfect, and it was a well-thought-out plan for handling the situation. But all Alexander could think about was making his father happy. He wanted to give his father everything he desired, to fulfill his wishes with all his might.
