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...
Rain's father-in-law had arrived, heading straight toward a group of men his age. But during his interactions, he still managed to glance at Rain, accompanied by a nod and a warm smile. It was subtle, almost unnoticed by those around him, but Rain caught it immediately, returning his gesture with a small smile of her own.
Since Alexander stepped away for a private conversation with Vernice for a while, Rain continued to look around the gallery with Eric by her side. She paused at a table, picking up a glass of fresh juice from a waiter, while Eric opted for a glass of wine.
Without warning, Eric handed her his business card. "Keep this and stay in touch, just in case you change your mind. The prosecution office can be tough, and the pay isn't great. If you ever want a change, you're welcome at our firm."
