In a society where marriage has lost its true essence and has been distorted, reducing it to a transaction devoid of love and commitment, a mere agreement for personal benefits.
Silvia Reyes found herself caught up in the chaos as she was about to be forced by her parents into marrying a man she despises.
She was able to bail herself out of her dilemma as she offered a marriage of convenience to Davian Randell, who in turn needed it too to solve his dire situation.
But life rarely goes as planned, does it? Will they find a way to reclaim love and commitment in their own lives, or will they succumb to the societal pressures that have tarnished the institution of marriage?
 Excerpt:-
"If you think I'm gonna marry that man, then sorry, I'm not!" She said to her father.
"You are, Silvia." Her father declared.
"I have a man!" She said.
"What?" Her parents chorused.
"You have a man. You should have told us earlier instead of letting us go through all that trouble." Alan said.
"We've been dating for some while now and he proposed to me recently and I accepted it." She showed them an engagement ring on her finger, which she bought before coming to the mansion.
"It's beautiful. How come you weren't wearing it yesterday?" Her mother asked.
"I didn't wear it yesterday." She answered simply.
"Then why did you go through the trouble of attending the dinner date?, you could have just told us," Her mother added.
"I wanted to see the man you were setting me up with. I was so angry because I knew I was taken already. I didn't want to tell you guys yet, I didn't want to introduce him to you guys till a couple of days time. You spoilt the surprise." Silvia explained.
"Oh I see. So when can we meet this lucky man?, do we know him?" Alan said.
"Uh-Uhm...no you don't. You'll meet him in a couple of days time, he's a really busy man." She almost shuttered.
"Okay, dear. We'll be waiting." Her mother said. What has she done?, how was she going to get a man that will be willing to marry her in just a couple of days time.

Married to the loveless CEO

"How dare you?! You little b*t-" Colleen was about to slap Olivia but Olivia held her hand.

"You really think I would let you bully me in this house. Well you are wrong," Olivia informed and knocked Colleen's hand off.

"I'm not some naive pushover, you think you can do anything to and just get away with it," Olivia continued, she just couldn't believe how brave and confident she was right now.

"Of course. You are not, you are some sick b*tch who would do anything for the paper," Colleen replied.

"I will just let that insult slide. Excuse me," Olivia was about to leave but Colleen stopped her.

"Hey, isn't it true? The only reason I'm going easy on you is because of that child you are carrying," Colleen told.

"Was that the reason you came here? To not go easy on me?" Olivia asked. "Scared to live alone my foot," Olivia scoffed and walked away.
