In the heart of a bustling metropolis, Jones Martins a struggling entrepreneur, finds himself in dire straits after his company faces bankruptcy. In a last-ditch effort to save his business, he strikes a deal with the city's richest man, Rihito Rodriguez. The agreement is simple but unimaginable: in exchange for a substantial sum to rescue his company, Ethan must offer his daughter, Veronica who they later changed to Aaliya, in marriage to Rihito.

Aaliya, unaware of the dire circumstances her father has found himself in, a chef who’s been trying to reconnect with her father after years of emotional distance. She feels betrayed to learn of her father’s plan to marry her off in exchange for money. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when Aaliya meets Rihito, the enigmatic and charming billionaire, at a hidden party.

To her surprise, there's a spark between them, and what begins as a reluctant engagement blossoms into an unexpected romance. Both Aaliya and Rihito must navigate the complexities of their newfound relationship while dealing with the weight of familial expectations.

As they grow closer, they uncover the shared vulnerabilities of their pasts: Aaliya struggle for independence and Rihito burden of expectations as a powerful businessman. Together, they explore themes of trust, love, and sacrifice, questioning whether their relationship can survive the intricacies of their original arrangement.

Chapter 1: Daddy needs your help
"Just waking up in this house feels annoying.....My bad let me introduce myself. "Am Aaliya by name. Am 20 years of age and also a chef. My so called father Jones Martins and his wife who is my stepmother Leah also My stepsister Veronica. Talking about my real mother, she died in a car accident when I was 10 so for the past 10 years of my life since my mom died, has been a living hell on earth for me. I was sent abroad and came back recently because I want to find out who really killed my mother. About my dad, he is anything but an ideal person. He married his bitchy girlfriend just after one month of her death. His wife Leah hates me so much and always finds fault in whatever I do that's the reason why they sent me abroad.....New enough of the introduction am late for work. It was suppose to be my day off but I can't stay at home because of my bitchy step mom. On reaching my destination, I came down from the cab and paid the driver.. Just then, a call came in from my dad "Where are you now? Come back home it's urgent"he said and cut the call. "Why will he call me now when I just got to work?" I got a cab and went back home. On reaching home, I paid for the ride and went into the mansion where I saw different cars parked in the compound. "Where have you been?" My dad asked angryly. "So you care about my wellbeing?"I said feeling frustrated "I don't have your time now but your dad needs help. Dad had a contract with some business man and it's says that if I don't pay the money in which I collected from them, I will have to give out my daughter to him or my company will go bankrupt. I asked your sister for help but she said she is too young and can't marry a crippled and ugly person; he said. "And because am a b***h, I will have to marry him right? I just stay here because I have nowhere to go which doesn't mean that you are still my father because I remember my dad died a long time ago" I said angryly while going inside. "You don't have to love him. let's just steal his money and leave him with nothing. He is also the CEO of Rodriguez empires" He stopped me from going inside the house. "So now you call me your daughter because he is rich and you wants his money? You are so greedy" I continued walking "If you need your mother's will, you will do as I say and if you are not ready then I can just keep it for myself " He said and left my side going inside. "I will do it on a condition that you will give it to me; I said already crying. "That's my girl..so I want you to go through the back door and change into the dress your stepmom kept for you. Don't waste time" he said and left.
