Ten years of marriage. Known since childhood. Yet, he felt he had never known her. What he saw was a loving and gentle wife. But what he heard about her from others had always been different. One said she married him for his money. One said she seduced a Prince behind his back. One said she spiked her sister and sent her to a man’s bed. One said she tortured the servants behind his back. One said… He had heard many such things but never believed anyone. Until one day, he saw how she scolded his brother, slapped his sister-in-law in the face, and pushed his nephew into the pool. He couldn’t take it anymore and asked for a divorce but she rejected to his face. Then he heard the news that she obtained the shares of their company and was about to overturn his brother’s position. “How did she turn into a scheming wife?” he asked, not really expecting any answers. But he got a chance. He woke up to the day he got married. He thought it was his chance to get rid of the woman from his life. He would save his brother and his family from his ‘wife’. He will get a divorce from her. But… Why couldn’t he get rid of this wife at all? Had she been so scheming all her life? Clearly not. In this life, he started seeing her life the way he had not seen before. From her perspective, she had shed tears without him knowing. He realized that he had been a bad husband all along. Suddenly his life changed from trying to divorce her to changing her ‘fate’. Who would win in this battle? Her fate of becoming a scheming woman? Or his determination and … love? #WSA2025 #Mindreading

“Marriage is a game of power, some fight to win, others fight to destroy. But when two people refuse to surrender, the only thing left is war.” Daniel Smith had it all—money, power, and the kind of devastating charm that made women weak in the knees. He was untouchable, unstoppable, a man who played by his own rules. Until his family forced him into the one thing he never wanted—marriage. Regina Green was no delicate rose. Sharp-tongued, bold, and dangerously unpredictable, she knew how to strike where it hurt. If Daniel wanted a battle, she was sure to make certain that he regretted ever stepping onto the field. Neither of them would bow. Neither of them would break. Their marriage was a battlefield drenched in tension—where every glance was a challenge and every argument pushed them closer to a line they swore they’d never cross. Hate was their language, desire was their weapon, but falling for each other? That was never supposed to be part of the plan.

Paul never expected his lazy summer to take such a turn. When the infamous Valerie Mansfield—his neighbor, the fiery red-haired trophy wife with curves that could break a man—showed up at his house, frustration in her emerald eyes and a broken laptop in hand, he knew this wasn’t just another favor. Her husband, rich, older, and indifferent, had barely spared her a glance before jetting off for another two-week business trip. Left alone, Valerie turned to Paul—the bright, young computer whiz down the street. What started as a simple fix soon became something more. The stolen glances, the teasing smirks, the lingering tension thick enough to cut. Paul had fantasized about her for years, but now, with her standing so close, her scent intoxicating, her gaze daring… he wasn’t sure if this was just another errand or the beginning of something dangerously real.

Emma Carter is a sharp-tongued, fiercely independent woman who has clawed her way to success as a top lawyer. She has no time for love, and certainly no patience for arrogant, entitled billionaires—especially Nicholas Blackwood, the infuriatingly charming CEO of Blackwood Enterprises. After a disastrous first meeting where Emma embarrasses him in front of a boardroom full of executives, Nicholas is intrigued. He’s used to people fawning over him—not challenging him. So when circumstances force them into an engagement of convenience (read: blackmail, accidental contract, and a meddling grandmother), sparks fly, and so do insults, misunderstandings, and very public fights. Will Emma’s stubborn heart thaw for the insufferable billionaire who seems determined to win her over? Or will Nicholas’ relentless pursuit be the thing that finally breaks him? One thing is certain: love was never part of the contract.
