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...
At Clayton University Hospital
Dina's body trembled as she hurried toward her mother's office. Things didn't go according to plan and by now, she was sure that her father was already aware of how she messed up.
When she entered, her heart sank further. Her father was already there, his face livid, and the tension in the room told her all she needed to know—her mother had just borne the brunt of his fury.
"Father…" she murmured weakly.
*Slap!*
The harsh sound of the slap echoed in the room, catching Dina off guard. Pain radiated through her cheek as her hand touched the stinging skin. It was the first time her father had ever hit her.
"You fool!" Tim roared, his face flushed with anger. "Do you have any idea what you've done? Your stupidity has ruined everything! No matter how hard you try, you'll never be a match for Rain. You're a disappointment, as always!" His voice dripped with contempt.
