When hardworking secretary Elena Gray wakes up in her billionaire boss’s penthouse after a drunken mistake, she faces a stark choice: sign a contract to bear Lucas Stone’s heir in exchange for a fortune, or lose her job and risk her mother’s medical care. The icy CEO of Stone Group demands the arrangement to satisfy his ailing mother’s wish for an heir, never expecting the pregnancy to upend his meticulously controlled life. As Elena moves into Lucas’s opulent manor, she navigates the treacherous waters of high society: his spoiled sister Sophia resents her, glamorous socialite Vivian Blake vies for Lucas’s attention, and the Stone family’s dark secrets lurk beneath polished facades. Despite their contractual boundaries, tension simmers between Elena and Lucas—his cold commands clash with unexpected moments of protectiveness, while her resolve to remain detached falters as she bonds with his kind-hearted mother, Amelia. When Elena’s estranged father surfaces to exploit her new status and her mother’s coma deepens, she must balance loyalty to her family with the dangerous allure of her pretend marriage. As the baby’s arrival draws near, Lucas finds himself torn between his icy facade and growing feelings for Elena, while she confronts a shattering truth: the contract may have bound them legally, but their hearts refuse to follow the rules. Set in the glamorous yet cutthroat world of European corporate dynasties, this tale of forbidden passion, familial duty, and unexpected love asks: can a marriage built on lies and convenience ever become something real?

Theodore Maxwell, a ruthless business tycoon driven by vengeance, plots to marry Alina Roosevelt, to kill two birds with one stone; get revenge on her father and, to inherit everything that was rightfully his. Alina, a budding author with a heart as pure as her prose, was blissfully unaware of Theodore's ulterior motives when she said "I do." As Theodore's cunning plan unfolded, he found himself captivated by Alina's charm and kindness. Despite his initial intentions, he couldn't help but admire the woman he had married. But just as unexpected love began to blossom, everything crumbles with Alina’s father, who devised a cunning scheme that shattered the fragile peace in their marriage. Consumed by rage and betrayal, Theodore divorces Alina, blaming her for her father's deceit. It's too late to realize that Alina was a mere pawn in her father's malicious game. Regret gnawed at his heart as he desperately searched for her, but she had vanished without a trace. Haunted by the memory of his cruel actions, Theodore is set to find Alina and make amends. And he will stop at nothing. How long will Alina be successful in keeping her little secret hidden? ----------------------------------------------------- “I’m not your wife anymore, Theodore!” I yelled, shoving him away from me. He had absolutely no right to march back into my life. “Here’s where you are wrong Alina,” he took dangerous steps towards me until I was pushed against one of the walls, as he held me captive. “You were mine, then. You are mine now. And you, most definitely, will stay mine in the future. Not even you can separate yourself from me Alina, because you were born to be mine!” And that’s when he smashed his lips against mine in a furious kiss.
