married to the ruthless ceoUpdated at Aug 12, 2026, 00:46
Steze Carter is 22, broke, and out of options.
When her father is threatened with losing his job at Hayes Corporation, there’s only one way to save him: marry the boss’s son.
Damien Hayes is the cold, ruthless heir of Hayes Corporation. He has everything — money, power, and a fiancée he actually loves.
But his father gives him an ultimatum: _Marry Steze Carter, or lose your inheritance._
Neither of them wants this.
After one awkward blind date, they get married in a week.
On their first night, Damien lays down the rules:
1. *Don’t talk to me*
2. *Don’t enter my room without knocking*
3. *Don’t cook for me. This is a fake marriage*
Steze agrees. She has a fiancé too.
So they live like strangers under one roof.
He sneaks out to see his fiancée. She sneaks out to see hers.
No love. No talking. Just a contract and a signature.
But fake marriages have a way of getting complicated.
What happens when jealousy starts? When secrets come out?
When the man who said "don’t fall for me" starts breaking his own rules?
*A contract marriage. Two fiancés. One house. Zero feelings... right?*
