In an attempt to help her get over the pain of being cheated on by her boyfriend on her 22nd birthday, Sophia Clark’s friends take her to a club and force her to consume alcohol. In her intoxicated state, Sophia’s blurry vision mistakes a stranger sitting beside her at the bar for her cheating boyfriend. She kisses him intensely and goes to a hotel with him where they both engage in a one night stand. The next morning, realizing her mistakes, Sophia hurriedly leaves the hotel room before the strange man wakes up. Regrettably, she didn't see his face. Six years later, Sophia begins to work as the secretary of a cold CEO and one of the wealthiest billionaires in Glasgow, Damon Graham. To avoid his mom's threats of choosing a bride for him and confiscating his properties if he doesn't get married, Damon Graham proposes a marriage contract to Sophia, offering her £10 million. A helpless Sophia who is in a challenging situation has no choice but to consider her boss's offer. What prompts her to accept it? Sophia has a strong feeling that her one night stand from six years ago is connected to a mysterious artwork in Damon's Mansion. Will she be able to unravel it? What happens when Damon finds out about his fake wife's one night stand, and that she is a single mom of two kids?

CHAPTER 1: Nightstand

"Serena, I wish you'd died in that explosion when we were ten and saved me the trouble."

Adrian's words hit me like a bullet to the chest.

Rough laughter erupted in the room. "Holy shit, Boss is savage as hell!"

"Next time when Serena's busted ears are finally fixed, you should say it right to her face. I'd love to see that fragile little princess cry her eyes out."

"Who cares if she hears? She's a deaf—no one else would want her anyway except Adrian."

My hands were shaking.

Today was supposed to be my birthday party.

I'd been planning to show Adrian my diagnosis report tonight and tell him that my hearing had finally recovered. I wouldn't be a burden to him anymore.

But instead, my carefully planned surprise led me straight to the brutal truth I was never meant to hear.

I thought he loved me.

"Enough." Adrian's voice cut through the room, calm and detached. "Serena saved my life as a kid. Don't say that stuff around her."

A faint click—plastic against plastic. My hearing aid.

"Got it. We know the deal."

"Throwing away your life to repay a debt? You're too noble, Adrian."

More laughter followed, and I bit down hard on the inside of my lip.

"Serena's fragile," Daniela said. "Not like me. She can't handle you guys. Don't push her too hard."

"Adrian," she said, her tone turning serious, "you passed my test. Now I believe you're really over that deaf girl. So... tomorrow night, you and me. A date."

"Okay," Adrian smiled.

Before I could react, Adrian slipped the hearing aid back behind my ear. "Baby, what are you thinking? Too happy to speak?"

His eyes fixed on me like I was everything.

What could I say? I heard it. I heard every word.

But nothing came out. I just stared at this face I'd memorized a thousand times.

"Serena!" Someone called my name.

They all wore identical fake smiles.

"Adrian took out your hearing aid and said the sweetest things," one said. "Honestly, it gave us chills."

"You two childhood sweethearts are so perfect together," another added.

Daniela linked her arm through Adrian's and smiled. "You must be blessed to have her."

Her fingertips traced his suit cuff—intimate, deliberate. Adrian didn't pull away.

"Come on," he said, extending his hand. "Your birthday party's starting. Everyone's waiting."

I just stared at him.

"Serena?" He frowned. Something flashed in his eyes—impatience, quick but real.

I reached out and took his hand.

His palm was warm, his grip steady and familiar, just as it had been for the past ten years.

But this time, all I felt was ice-cold emptiness.
