Rain Clayton’s life goes sideways when her attempt at revenge backfires, wrecking a stranger’s car instead of her cheating boyfriend’s. But the real shock comes when she learns she’s accidentally married to the car’s owner: Alexander Lancaster, a powerful and dangerously charming CEO with no intention of staying married.

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...

Surprise Marriage to a Billionaire

Rain listened quietly, somehow understanding the depth of what Carla might have faced.

Insecurity can be a powerful force, especially for someone trying to step out of the shadows of a powerful family. It wasn't uncommon for those born into prominence to struggle with their sense of identity beyond their family's influence.

Rain could imagine the weight Carla carried, but she also knew that her own approach to life was different.

"There are many ways to handle these things," Rain said thoughtfully. "I don't know everything about Carla or what she's been through, but I do know one thing—I'm not the kind of person who gives up on people I value. I won't sacrifice the ones I treasure just to achieve a goal. I'll always find a way to hold on, as long as they want me to."

Eric looked at her, a new respect flickering in his eyes. "That's admirable," he finally said. "Not everyone has that kind of strength."
