LOGINClaire’s heart is broken by her cheating boyfriend, and she ends up having a one-night stand with a handsome stranger at the bar, hoping they’ll never see each other again. However, she is shocked to the bone when he turns out to be the CEO of the new company she works at. As if that wasn’t enough, he asks her to marry him - for a three-month contract. She signs the contract because she urgently needs money for her mother’s heart surgery, but things don’t always go as planned. With a cold-hearted husband and his stepmother and children fighting him for inheritance, along with an ex-fiancé who shows up and tries everything to break them up, Claire's married life is harder than it should be. Things become even more complicated when their three-month contract comes to an end, and Claire finds out she’s pregnant!

Ini adalah pernikahan yang sempurna. Ahli waris dari kerajaan bisnis di Rusia menikahi putri dari keluarga terpandang asal Inggris. Keduanya jelas tampak serasi. Tapi bukan kah kita menantikan sebuah drama?
Pertanyaannya adalah, apa lagi yang diinginkan si ambisius Draxler dengan menikahi seorang gadis misterius? Pria itu jelas memiliki segalanya. Lagi pula, bagaimana mungkin seorang gadis yang tak pernah terlihat sebelumnya tiba-tiba muncul di tengah keluarga Stamford dan menjadi bagian dari mereka?
Cukup menarik. Mari kita bertaruh, berapa lama usia pernikahan mereka? Para penggosip sudah tidak sabar untuk melontarkan hujatan serta cibiran di balik kisah keduanya.
"Orang-orang mengatakan bahwa aku menikah dengan seorang pangeran. Tapi kupikir, dia lebih mirip seorang monster." -Grassiela Stamford-
"Aku tidak akan berhenti sampai mendapatkan apa yang ku inginkan. Dan mawar liar itu, adalah kunci untuk melancarkan rencanaku." -James Draxler-
Apa yang terlihat bukan lah yang sesungguhnya terjadi. Ini bukan pernikahan, melainkan bagian dari sebuah kesepakatan. Terlahir dari keluarga terpandang serta bergelimang harta tak cukup untuk membuat keduanya bahagia. Ada hati yang begitu dingin, kekecewaan yang begitu dalam serta kehidupan yang tak tersentuh. Semuanya sudah lebih dari cukup untuk membuat seseorang tak tertarik untuk membicarakan tentang cinta. Kita sama-sama tahu bahwa kata itu bukan lah untuk kalangan mereka.
Lantas peran apa yang sedang keduanya mainkan?
Kisah ini tidaklah sesederhana itu. Sejak suara tembakan menggelegar dan merenggut nyawa seseorang, semuanya dimulai. Kebencian, dendam, rencana licik dan keserakahan memancing tragedi hingga suara tembakan kembali terdengar.
"Aku bukan bagian dari orang-orang yang bisa kau kendalikan. Dan asal kau tahu, aku tidak akan pernah melupakan pertemuan ini," ucap Grassiela dingin bersama tatapan tajam pada pria di hadapannya.
James berjalan mendekat. Tatapannya yang mendominasi membuat wanita itu menahan gugup. Lantas ia berkata di sela rahangnya yang mengetat, "jangan lupakan juga mengenai hubungan ini!"

Alex unfolded the letter with Claire by his side, their shoulders touching as they leaned over the words. His hand tightened slightly on the paper as he read aloud: “I don’t expect forgiveness, nor do I deserve it. What I did, everything I did, was wrong. I’ve spent months reflecting on my actions and the pain I caused both of you. You didn’t deserve any of it. All I can offer now is an apology, but I know words can never undo the harm. Please know I’m truly sorry. —Charles.” A heavy silence settled over them. Claire stared at the letter, her expression unreadable. "What do you think this means?" Alex asked, his voice low, almost hesitant. “After refusing to see me for months” Claire let out a slow breath. "I don’t know. Maybe it’s his way of closing a chapter, or maybe it’s guilt finally catching up to him. Either way, it doesn’t change what he’s done." Alex studied her face for a moment. "Do you think he means it?" She shrugged. "Maybe he does. Maybe it’s just words.
They stood in tense silence, their words still hanging heavy in the air, neither willing to break the stalemate. Finally, Alex scoffed lightly, dragging a hand down his face, breaking the tension between them. “What are we doing?” he muttered, his voice weary. “Yeah,” Claire echoed softly, “what are we doing?” Alex stepped closer, his movements slow, and carefully pulled her into his arms. She didn’t resist, but her arms stayed stiff at her sides. “I know you were scared,” he murmured, his voice thick with regret. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there. I swear to you, it will never happen again.” “You promise?” she whispered, her voice laced with doubt. “Yes,” he said firmly, pulling back just enough to meet her eyes. “I promise. And I’m sorry about what I said earlier about your ex. That wasn’t fair. None of this is your fault.” Claire’s shoulders softened as her anger gave way to exhaustion. Slowly, she leaned into him, her arms wrapping around his waist. Alex exhaled deeply i
The sound of the hospital door opening snapped them both out of their reverie. They sprang to their feet in an instant, their eyes fixed on the doctor who stepped into the room, his expression unreadable. Alex’s heart hammered in his chest as he took a step forward, Claire beside him, her hand gripping his. The doctor looked between them, clearing his throat before speaking. "She's stable now, but we’ll need to monitor her closely. The impact was serious, but we've done everything we can for now." The relief that flooded through Alex was almost overwhelming, but his eyes never left the doctor. "Is she going to be okay? Will she make it through?" The doctor nodded slowly, his gaze softening. "It’s too soon to say for certain, but we’re hopeful. She’s a fighter." Claire let out a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding, and Alex tightened his grip on her hand and that made her realize they were holding hands. She quickly let go of his hand and Alex looked back confused a
Claire wasted no time getting back into her car and driving straight to Alex’s office. It took her a little over thirty minutes to arrive, and she rushed inside without a second thought. When she reached his office, it was empty. Letting out a scream of frustration, she ran her hands through her hair, feeling her composure slipping away. Desperation clawed at her as she fished her phone out of her bag and dialed Vanessa’s number. The line barely rang before Vanessa picked up. “Where is Alex?” Claire demanded without preamble. “Mr. Steele left work right after the meeting concluded about an hour ago,” Vanessa replied calmly. “An hour ago?” Claire repeated. “Yes. Is everything okay?” “He’s not picking his calls. Is there any other way I can reach him?” Vanessa hesitated. “I’ve been trying to pass on some information to him too, but I can’t reach him either. He hasn’t responded to anything.” Claire closed her eyes, frustration boiling over. There was no way to get ahold of h
Claire couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Roy’s mother standing at her doorstep, her face twisted with anger. “What are you doing here?” Claire asked in a sharp voice. “What am I doing here?” Roy’s mother shot back, her tone laced with venom. “My son died because of you. If you hadn’t left him
It had been days since the investigation was officially launched, and tension had only grown thicker. The turning point came when an anonymous source submitted damning evidence to the authorities, call logs, text messages, and voicemails between Charlotte and Roy. The material was meticulous, exposi
Alex brought out his phone and placed it on the table before hitting the play button on the recording. The room fell silent as Alex’s voice filled the air, followed by Charlotte’s damning words. Gasps erupted from the board members, their shock evident as they exchanged wide-eyed glances. Charle
Charles leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smirk on his face as the board members nodded one after the other, each voicing their agreement. The private meeting had gone exactly as he’d planned. The chaos surrounding Alex’s personal life had provided the perfect opportunity to strike, and now the
