Five years ago, Seraphina “Sera” Alcantara lost everything—including her family’s love—after a scandal left her pregnant and alone. Disowned by her father and betrayed by her own sister, she had no choice but to raise her son, Nathaniel, on her own.
Now, desperate to secure a better future for her child, Sera accepts an unexpected offer from Alexander “Xander” Montenegro, a cold and dangerously handsome billionaire who needs a wife for one year. In exchange for her hand in marriage, he promises her financial security and guarantees her son’s future.
The arrangement is simple: play the perfect wife, follow the rules, and walk away when the contract expires.
But living under the same roof changes everything. Behind Xander’s intimidating demeanor lies a man capable of a tenderness he never knew he possessed. And as he grows closer to Sera and her little boy, the walls around his heart begin to crumble.
Neither of them realizes that fate has already bound them together.
Because five years ago, a drugged and confused woman and an intoxicated stranger shared a night neither could forget—or fully remember. Now, a single sunflower handkerchief may reveal the truth that changes their lives forever.
The man she married for money is the father of her child.
But their newfound happiness comes at a price. A jealous sister, a family hungry for power, and a woman from Xander’s past threaten to destroy everything they have built. As buried secrets surface and two powerful empires collide, Sera and Xander must decide whether their marriage is merely a contract—or a love worth fighting for.
When the year is over, will Sera walk away as promised?
Or will the billionaire who once offered her a fortune finally offer her the one thing money can never buy—his heart?
