PLOT, The following outline is just a summary of major events, minor events will happen from time to time to connect these major events. EXPOSITION. Selene Lancaster’s world is built on love and loyalty—at least, that’s what she believes. For years, she has been the perfect wife to Adrian Lancaster, standing by him as he built his empire, sacrificing her own dreams for his ambitions. She even helped her best friend, Lina, get a job as his assistant. But her illusion of a perfect marriage shatters in a single moment. One evening, planning a romantic surprise for Adrian, she walks into their bedroom—only to find him tangled in the sheets with Lina. Shock. Betrayal. Disbelief. Adrian doesn’t even try to hide or deny it. Instead, he smirks and coldly tells her that she's barren and can't give him an heir whereas her best friend was already pregnant for him. Selene’s heart shatters into a million pieces. Years of love, trust, and sacrifice, wasted. Something inside her snaps. Without another word, she turns and storms out into the night. She refuses to cry. She refuses to let Adrian and Lina see her break. She ends up at a high-end bar, drowning in Hennessy, trying to numb the pain. That’s when she meets him—a tall, dark, and dangerously charismatic stranger. His presence is intense, his gaze piercing, and for the first time in her life, she feels like someone actually sees her. She doesn’t know his name although he asks for hers which she gave. But when he offers her an escape, a reckless night to forget, she takes it and pulls him into her seduction in her drunken state. One night. One mistake. And she wakes up in a stranger’s bed. INCITING INCIDENT Selene wakes up in a luxurious hotel suite and sees that The stranger is gone, leaving only a cryptic note: "I hope you forget him. And if not, ruin him. No regrets" But reality slaps her back into her nightmare when she returns home. Adrian is already celebrating his new life with Lina. The house that once belonged to her now feels like it’s theirs. Then comes the ultimate humiliation—Adrian demands she leave, claiming he will be marrying Lina soon and serves her divorce papers, promising her that she'll receive a fair share of compensation. Selene refuses to be discarded like trash. But she’s alone. Powerless. Until an invitation arrives. A high-profile charity gala, hosted by a billionaire named Dominic Lancaster. She has no idea why she’s invited—until she arrives and comes face to face with him. Her mysterious one-night stand. And worse? He’s Adrian’s older brother. Rising Action – The Proposal That Changes Everything Selene is shocked, but Dominic? He’s amused. He knew exactly who she was that night. And now, he sees an opportunity. Dominic has despised Adrian for years, ever since he stole the woman Dominic loved and sabotaged their mother’s life-saving treatment, leading to her death. Now, Dominic offers Selene a deal that could change everything: To marry him for a year and give him an heir and they would ruin her ex-husband. Selene is speechless at first. The cold, powerful, and untouchable Dominic Lancaster. But the more she thinks about it, the more it makes sense. Adrian destroyed her reputation. She has nothing left to lose. So, she sets her own conditions: Their marriage will be strictly business in public. She will not be controlled by him. And if she gives him a child, she will never be separated from them. Dominic, a man used to having complete control, struggles with these terms. But he agrees. And just like that, Selene goes from being the discarded ex-wife to the new Mrs. Lancaster. Adrian and Lina are furious. But this is only the beginning. RISING ACTION At first, their marriage is cold and calculated. But as passion reignites, Selene and Dominic’s chemistry becomes impossible to ignore. Then comes the game-changing moment—Selene faints during an argument with Dominic. A doctor is called. The truth is revealed. She’s already pregnant—from their one-night stand. Dominic is stunned. Everything changes. It was supposed to be a contractual marriage, but now. This child is his blood. Adrian finds out and snaps. He tries to claim the child, spreading rumors that it’s his. Lina, growing desperate, plots to harm Selene to secure her place at Adrian’s side, she plots to kidnap Selene. But Dominic is one step ahead. He makes his final move—exposing Adrian’s fraud, scandals, and betrayal to the public. Adrian is ruined. Lina, seeing him fall from grace, betrays him and flees, taking few of his properties she had acquired from staying with him and Adrian is left with nothing. CLIMAX With Adrian out of the picture, Selene should feel victorious. But something else has happened. Somewhere in their twisted arrangement, she has fallen for Dominic. The man who was supposed to be just a tool for revenge has become her protector, her lover, her family. But she wasn't sure if he feel the same. Dominic, a man who never believed in love, now fears losing her. For the first time, he’s the one afraid of being abandoned. As they spend more time together, Selene starts to see Dominic in a new light. She realizes that, despite all the complications, Dominic genuinely cares for her. He’s been there for her when she needed him most. Slowly, she lets down her guard and starts to trust him. The more she gets to know him, the more she realizes that he’s not the same person he was before but then, a woman storms the picture, claiming that she was Dominic mistress, Sylvia. Out of hurt and Betrayal, Selene ran away with her unborn baby, feeling her heart shattered again. Sylvia was Dominic college back in the states who had always wanted Dominic but he shut her off. Dominic began to look for Selene so he could explain things, and when he finds her, she doesn't believe at first but after much explanation, she understands and Dominic hugs her and tells her that he would never cheat on her. Sylvia seeing that her plans didn't work, left in shame. FALLING ACTION Selene goes into labor. Dominic is at her side. He sees their child for the first time and realizes...
