Pero hay un problema importante: Alexander quiere un divorcio inmediato. Determinada a mantenerlo, Rain hace un trato para extender su matrimonio, bajo sus condiciones. Ahora todo lo que tiene que hacer es convencerlo de que la mantenga para siempre... Unas semanas pasaron desde su matrimonio sorpresa... —¿Qué estás haciendo? —exclamó Rain, con los ojos muy abiertos mientras observaba a Alexander trepar a su cama. —Cumpliendo los deberes maritales —respondió él con una sonrisa casual. —¡No puedes dormir aquí! ¡Está en contra de nuestro contrato! —No lo estoy rompiendo —dijo Alexander encogiéndose de hombros—. El contrato especifica que cumplirás todos los deberes de esposa, excepto compartir mi cama. No dice nada sobre que yo no pueda cumplir los deberes maritales, incluido compartir tu cama. La situación había cambiado, y parecía que ya no era la única en control...

Kini yang harus ia lakukan hanyalah meyakinkannya untuk mempertahankannya selamanya... Beberapa minggu telah berlalu sejak pernikahan mendadak mereka… “Apa yang sedang kamu lakukan?” seru Rain dengan mata terbelalak saat ia melihat Alexander merangkak ke atas tempat tidurnya. "Melaksanakan tugas suami," jawabnya dengan senyum santai. “Kamu tidak bisa tidur di sini! Ini melanggar kontrak kita!” “Saya tidak melanggarnya,” kata Alexander dengan mengangkat bahu. "Kontraknya menyebutkan bahwa kamu akan memenuhi semua tugas istri, kecuali berbagi tempat tidur denganku. Tidak ada yang menyebutkan tentang saya tidak boleh melaksanakan tugas-tugas suami, termasuk berbagi tempat tidurmu.” Situasi telah berubah, dan sekarang sepertinya bukan hanya dia yang mengendalikan keadaan...

Rain, die in einer Familie aufgewachsen ist, die sie misshandelt hat, und nun von ihrem Vater unter Druck gesetzt wird, den psychopathischen Sohn des Bürgermeisters zu heiraten, sieht diese überraschende Heirat als Segen an. Nach Jahren des Leidens scheint der Himmel endlich Mitleid mit ihr zu haben und schenkt ihr einen gut aussehenden Milliardärs-Ehemann - einen Mann, der rücksichtslos zu seinen Feinden ist und genau das, was sie braucht, um den Fängen ihrer Familie zu entkommen. Doch es gibt ein großes Problem: Alexander will die sofortige Scheidung. Rain ist fest entschlossen, ihn zu behalten, und handelt eine Verlängerung ihrer Ehe zu seinen Bedingungen aus. Jetzt muss sie ihn nur noch davon überzeugen, sie für immer zu behalten... Seit ihrer Überraschungshochzeit sind einige Wochen vergangen... "Was machst du da?" Rain platzte heraus, ihre Augen weit aufgerissen, als sie Alexander auf ihr Bett krabbeln sah. "Ich erfülle meine ehelichen Pflichten", antwortete er mit einem lässigen Grinsen. "Du kannst hier nicht schlafen! Das ist gegen unseren Vertrag!" "Ich breche ihn nicht", sagte Alexander achselzuckend. "Der Vertrag besagt, dass du alle ehelichen Pflichten erfüllst, nur nicht mein Bett teilst. Er sagt nichts darüber aus, dass ich meine ehelichen Pflichten nicht erfülle, auch nicht, dass ich dein Bett mit dir teile." Die Situation hatte sich verändert, und es schien, dass sie nicht mehr die einzige war, die die Kontrolle hatte...
