She only wanted to live. He only needed a wife—on paper. But what started as a contract… is about to rewrite their hearts. After Rain Italy Cuervanue refuses to be sold off to an old man to pay her aunt’s debt, she’s thrown out of her own home. Desperate and alone, she flees to the only place that still holds her father’s memory, the beach house he gave her on her 18th birthday, only to find out it’s been sold. And not just to anyone. To Matthew Fuentavello, the youngest, powerful, and most feared CEO in the country, from a family known across Asia. To her shock, Matthew offers her a deal: Marry him for six months, a secret contract to fulfill his grandfather’s condition for taking full control of their empire. In return, she gets the beach house back. The catch? She must also work for him as his secretary. No one must know they’re married, except his family. Rain agrees with no choice left, never expecting that the man she married on paper… is the uncle of her cheating ex-boyfriend, the one who broke her heart with her own cousin. As they pretend by day and blur the lines by night, a dangerous chemistry starts to grow. Office rumors spark. Jealousy brews. And when the whispers get too loud, Matthew drops the biggest bomb—Rain isn’t just his secretary. She’s his wife. Just when Rain begins to believe in their stolen happiness, the past comes knocking. Her ex wants her back. Matthew’s ex, the woman who once rejected the deal Rain accepted, now wants him again. And Rain begins to wonder… Was she just a second option? Or is there something Matthew’s been hiding from the start… something real?

Marriage is sacred and must be because of love…but in our family it is all about business and connections. I don’t want to get married and the last time that I let cupid in my heart I was left alone, like a girl who lost her favorite doll. Miss Michin. Ang bansag sa pinakamasungit sa mga apo ni Don Leano—si Frederica Liora Leano, panganay sa pamilya at sa mga magpipinsan, strikta, mahigpit, at prangka kung magsalita. Parang walang pagmamahal sa katawan. Matandang dalaga kung umasta at manamit. Hindi gusto na magpakasal, dahil hanggang ngayon ay may mga nakabaon pa ring tinik sa kan’yang puso mula sa nakaraan. Ngunit…sa isang iglap lahat ng iyon ay nawala. Aksidente. Dahil sa isang aksidenteng halik ay magpapakasal siya at kanino? Sa estrangherong hardinero nila na si Noel. Si Noel, palasagot, matapang, at hindi siya inuurungan. Napunta si Frederica sa sitwasyong iniiwasan niya. Gusto niyang tumakbo at umalis sa buhay na iginuhit na ng kan’yang Lolo. Pero paano kung sa gitna ng pagtakbo niya ay madapa siya sa maiinit na bisig ng kanilang hardinero? Anong mangyayari kung unti-unti na niyang pinapapasok si kupido sa sarado niyang puso? Panibagong sakit? Panibagong tinik? O mas babaon ang tinik ng kan’yang nakaraan? Paano kung sa mga maiinit na bisig ay may madiskubre siyang malamig na katotohanan? Makakatakbo pa kaya ang kan’yang mga paa? O tulad noon ay magiging batang nawalan ng manika?
