He needs a wife. She needs money. A contract binds them, but love was never part of the deal. Elena Hayes, a struggling jewelry designer, signs a two-year marriage contract with ruthless tech mogul Nate Whitmore. She saves her dying family business; he secures his billion-dollar inheritance. The rules? No love. No real marriage. But then, he sleeps soundly for the first time in years-only when she's near. She finds old videos of her work on his laptop-proof he's known her far longer than she thought. And when he secretly buys back her pawned jade necklace, cracks form in their cold agreement. Then comes betrayal. His first love returns, aiming for his heart. Elena is framed, her career burned to the ground. In the chaos, Nate shreds their contract before flashing cameras, declaring, "I broke the rules. I love her." But the biggest secret is yet to come-his father's will demands not just a marriage, but an heir. Love was never in their contract. But neither was war.
