Surprise Marriage to a Billionaire

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...

The File

"Can you drop me off at the office instead?" Rain asked, glancing at her watch. It was only 10:30 in the morning, and she still had plenty of time to get some work done.

"You already told them you wouldn't be in today, so why are you going?" Alexander asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Plans changed," Rain replied, frowning slightly. "I don't want to just sit around at home. I still have work to finish, and I'm not letting the Obsidian Order case slip away. I have a feeling it's all connected—Madame Beck, Michael Astor. Something's off."

Vania had mentioned that Michael was a regular at Madame Beck's establishment and very close to her. Rain's gut was telling her that Michael wasn't just close to Madame Beck—he might be her business partner, or worse, the mastermind behind everything. 

If Vania's testimony about seeing Michael walk was true, then he was faking his condition and using it to cover up his crimes.
