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...

Rain had spent her morning learning to ride, and time had flown by faster than she'd expected. Now, she and Alexander were riding together on the horse he had gifted her. She had named it Snow, fitting for its pure white coat, as bright and pristine as freshly fallen snow.
The two of them moved in sync with the horse's graceful rhythm, enjoying the quiet moments in each other's company.
"Isn't riding me better?" Alexander teased in her ear, his voice low and playful as he sat behind her, his arms securely wrapped around her waist.
"Pervert!" Rain shot back, her face twisting into a mock scowl, though the smile tugging at her lips betrayed her. Alexander chuckled, clearly enjoying the banter. She couldn't deny it… he'd become way too comfortable teasing her like this. But the truth was, she loved it. Their playful exchanges, even when they veered into intimate territory, always left her smiling.
