In a world where dreams and values often clash, a young woman on the edge of financial collapse is presented with a life-changing offer from a powerful, mysterious CEO. He wants her to be his wife—at least in the eyes of the world. It’s a convenient arrangement, one that promises wealth, security, and a way out of the mess she never should’ve been in.

Caught between sticking to her principles and the temptation of a life she never imagined, she’s faced with a decision that could change everything.
