Lena, a young woman abandoned by her father and tormented by her manipulative stepmother and stepsister. Struggling to make ends meet, Lena faces an uphill battle when her life is shattered by the need for urgent, expensive surgery. With no family to turn to and her father too weak to challenge the controlling grip of his new wife, Lena is left feeling hopeless and alone. Enter Adrian Blackwood, the city's most eligible bachelor and CEO of Blackwood Industries. Scarred by a devastating betrayal by his ex-fiancée, who slept with his worst enemy, Adrian is determined to put the past behind him. When Lena's desperation intersects with his need for a fresh start, Adrian offers a lifeline in the form of a contract marriage. In exchange for her agreement to a fake union, Adrian promises to finance her surgery, providing the only way out of her dire situation. But as the two navigate their new life together, the boundaries between business and pleasure blur. Adrian's cold exterior slowly cracks as he becomes captivated by Lena's strength, vulnerability, and resilience. Meanwhile, Lena, who has spent her life fighting against her family's emotional abuse, begins to open her heart, torn between her duty to her family and the powerful attraction she feels for Adrian. The stakes rise as Lena's stepmother continues to make decisions without consulting her father, wielding her power over the family with unrelenting control. With every passing day, Lena and Adrian's marriage-initially a business arrangement-grows more complex, filled with passion, emotional turmoil, and the threat of painful betrayals that could destroy everything they've built.
