The Marriage ClauseUpdated at Sep 17, 2026, 23:21
He didn't just come to take over her family’s company. He came with an ultimatum—and a truth that could save her.
Zein Marchetti walked into the Reyes Holdings boardroom prepared to fight for Marchetti Shipping’s survival. She expected cold corporate greed, but she didn't expect Virgo Reyes—a magnetic heir whose unhurried composure masked a dangerous level of honesty.
The merger is no standard business deal. To clear her family's crippling debt and protect the pensions of two thousand employees, the contract demands a non-negotiable term: Zein’s marriage to Virgo by Friday.
Before Zein can make her choice, a hidden discrepancy in the financial figures shatters everything—revealing that the debt was artificially inflated through a shadowy firm, and her family's legacy is built on a dangerous cover-up. Trapped between rival corporate enemies and a controlled man whose protection ignites a feeling she can no longer resist, Zein must navigate public leaks, shifting deadlines, and past secrets.
When their fathers force the wedding timeline up to four in the morning to seal the trap, Zein must decide: Is Virgo a calculating strategist playing a game, or the only ally standing between her and total ruin?
