“The Richmonds are a wealthy family with a long ancestry of wealth flowing from generation to generation. Melanie inherited the Richmonds' estate alongside the conglomerate with her father's passing. Still young and not very experienced in handling such a great company and disposal to such an amount of money, Melanie faces several problems because of this. Her greedy uncles seek to steal the company from her, believing they should be the ones to inherit the company that their brother built from scratch. They devise many tricks to get her to fail and fumble. Aside from the battle she faces regarding the company and leeching family members, she also has to face the battles of the heart. She is in love with Chris Joe, a multimillionaire who is in charge of a fast-rising tech company, very skilled in managing businesses and making profits. They have loved each other for years, but his parents disapprove of her. Chris is also madly in love with her but holds his parents in high regard and does not want to offend them. He navigates his life and relationship with three women but discovers his heart belongs to his high school sweetheart, Melanie, and nothing can come between them. To get close to her again, Chris offers to enter into a contract marriage with Melanie to oversee her business for a year until she is strong enough to hold it on her own. She agrees, and Chris and Melanie get married. Chris tries to connect with Melanie, who is still mad at him for being indecisive about her. Through the course of their marriage, old feelings are rekindled again. But their marriage is not without problems, as Chris's family still hates and looks down on Melanie. It doesn't help that Sasha, Chris's obsessive ex, won't give up on winning him back. Melanie also finds out an horrible secret about Chris's family that threatens to destroy everything they ever worked for.”
