In the two years since we got married, my husband, Kieran Zucker, has pampered me like a princess every day. However, I want to escape from him because he's an extreme control freak. I've been forced to behave exactly like a living doll, and I can't leave his sight for a single second lest he deprive me of dinner. I've run away from him 16 times, but he's accurately predicted my location and dragged me back every time. I've eventually been driven to desperation and slit my wrists in search of liberation. When I next open my eyes, I find that I've actually been reborn back on the day Kieran proposes to me. This time, I resolutely turn him down and decide to escape far from him with his arch-enemy, Scott Quinlan. I assume that I'm finally free of Kieran, but then I discover Scott having a friendly conversation with him…

Ever heard of a “wife for hire”? Absurd, right? Well, it was a brand-new concept to me too. As I stared at the billionaire sitting across from me, one thought rang loud and clear in my mind.“This man has lost it.“ How did I go from interviewing for a cleaner’s position to this? An offer to “marry” a billionaire? The words had barely left his lips before I scoffed, unable to help myself. “Is this some kind of joke?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him, skepticism dripping from every word. He tilted his head to the side, his expression oddly calm. His brows lifted slightly as his sharp gaze locked onto mine. “Is something wrong?” he asked, his voice steady yet tinged with what seemed like guilt—or maybe embarrassment. “Did I offend you? If I have…” “I mean, no offense, but… look at you. You’re tall, handsome, rich,” I continued, gesturing toward him as if to underline my point. “Any woman out there would swarm around you, dying for the chance to be with you. So, why me? Unless there’s more to it. Unless there’s… a motive.” … After being handed divorce papers at the hospital—mere moments after losing her baby,Amber refuses to fall apart. She is not weak. She is not pathetic. She won’t waste tears on the heavens or wait for Karma to settle the score. Instead, she vows to become Karma herself. However, fate leads her to an encounter with him, a wealthy, enigmatic billionaire with a haunting past and a son who longs for a mother. Drawn to her striking resemblance to someone from his past, he makes her an audacious offer. One that could change both of their lives forever.

“I need someone to act as my wife, for the time being. In return, you get everything you’ve ever wanted. This could be your chance to change everything. To fix your life. It's that simple.” She looks like his wife. But She isn’t. When Daphne is thrust into the life of a woman she’s never met, the stakes are higher than she ever imagined and she steps into a world that was never hers to claim — until now. The deal was simple: pretend, blend in, and don’t fall in love. But nothing about him—or this secret—is simple. One lie. One contract. One dangerously tempting man. What happens when pretending becomes too real, feelings get involved, and the past refuses to stay buried…? How far will she go to protect the secret that could destroy them all?

Si Haraleigne Perez ay isa lamang na mababang empleyado ng Dela Valle Corporation. Tila ba walang katapusan ang kahirapan at ang kanda-kuba niyang pagkayud sa buhay, ngunit ito ay tuluyang nagbago ng isang gabing malasing siya mula sa business trip at maka one night stand niya ang kanilang CEO na si Gabriel Dela Valle. "I need a marriage partner, Hara Perez." "Ano po, sir Gabriel?" Maang na tanong ni Hara dahil wala siyang ideya bakit iyon sinasabi sa kanya ni Gabriel. "I said....marry me."

Darating kaya ang araw na mamahalin din siya ni Gabriel?  "Please, alagaan mo siyang mabuti para saakin ha, maari ba iyon?" "Nagmamakaawa ako, sa ngayon ay mahalin mo siya para saakin." Paki-usap ni Dana. "Hindi kasama sa kontrata na mamahalin ko siya para sa'yo." Matigas na pagtatanggi ni Hara. Ngunit ano ang kanyang gagawin nang napagtanto niyang nahulog na rin siya kay Gabriel at nagbunga ng inosenteng bata ang kanilang pekeng kasal?
