Too Late To Want Me Back
Updated at May 16, 2026, 03:26
Charlie Brooks thought the worst night of her life was catching her boyfriend, Mark, in bed with her best friend. Heartbroken and humiliated, she throws herself into saving the only thing she has left, her late father’s struggling restaurant. But with debts piling up and foreclosure looming, Charlie is running out of time. Just when everything seems lost, billionaire businessman Henry Stone offers her an unusual deal: a contract marriage. In return for pretending to be his wife and maintaining the image of a stable relationship, Henry will invest enough money to save the restaurant her father built. What begins as a strictly business arrangement quickly becomes complicated. The longer they play the role of husband and wife, the harder it becomes to ignore the growing attraction between them. For Charlie, the line between pretense and reality starts to blur. But their fragile arrangement is shaken when Lena, Henry’s former lover, suddenly returns. Her presence brings back unresolved feelings and threatens the fragile connection Charlie and Henry have begun to build. Just when Charlie decides to guard her heart, she discovers she is pregnant. The contract that was supposed to end quietly now binds them in ways neither expected. As secrets surface and loyalties are tested, Charlie must decide whether love born from a contract can ever become something real.
