Facing a marriage deadline, CEO Henry Wong impulsively weds Ellie Chen, a broke former professional race car driver dying of a wreak she had on the track. 

In return, her younger brother will receive a generous scholarship -- and Henry will have the enchanting Ellie as a wife, if only for a time. 

Then fate takes a hand, and Henry suddenly finds herself with a healthy, vibrant wife -- a siren he finds it hard to keep his eyes off of.

Henry turned to the other woman who was standing in the room as he clutched Ellie close to his chest. "You have seen it yourself now Aunt Dorota, she is such an elegant lady, with a humble character, and her kind nature is something I will never find again. And you know, she has the strength to match my mother -- she used to be a well-known race car driver you know." 

The hug around Ellie started to grow uncomfortable as she squirmed a little. She wanted to move away, but knew that would detract from all the work that had been put in upto this moment so she swiveled her head. Like a butterfly landing she put her head on his shoulder and looked at Dorota. "I'm so lucky to have you, my love."

CEO of my Heart

Henry repositioned the phone by his ear. "I probably couldn't be more grateful that you chose racing instead of college. Seeing how well it has gone for you, it's a relief that you're not stuck in some office trying to solve some useless person like me's problems."

"I don't doubt you would be unable to take care of your problems if you put your mind to it. You take care of everyone and everything around you. I was surprised that you after the marriage even took care of me."

"Don't expect anything from me, Ellie. I can't have that from you."

The line cut and Ellie looked at the dead phone in her hands. She put it back on the stand and put her hands around her knees as she curled up into a ball.
