Xander’s grandmother, Evelyn, insists that he marry immediately to secure his family’s future. When she meets Sophia and is impressed by her loving nature and warmth, she pushes for the two to wed, believing Sophia is the ideal match. Xander, still convinced that Sophia is only interested in his wealth, reluctantly agrees to the arrangement, thinking she’s just another opportunist. But Sophia has her own reasons for accepting the marriage: she wants nothing more than to escape her family’s suffocating grasp and live life on her own terms. As they navigate their arranged union, misunderstandings, emotional barriers, and hidden secrets threaten to tear them apart. In a story filled with sparks, secrets, and unexpected twists, will love triumph over wealth, or will the past prove too strong to overcome?

When my grandfather died, I didn’t expect anything from him. We were practically strangers. But then came the news: I’d inherited his mansion—and everything in it.

It was raining heavily at midnight and the birds sitting on the trees started flying towards the sky due to the loud thunder. In mansion, a 36-year-old man was searching for something inside a large deserted mansion, going from one room to another. The man was wearing black clothes. There was no one else except that man in such a big and luxurious mansion. There were lines of worry on the man's face and he was searching for something. Even after searching every corner of the room, the man did not find that thing. Seeing this, the man immediately went to the fourth floor of the mansion. Just then his phone started ringing. Seeing someone's name on the cellphone screen, the man immediately picked up the phone without wasting time and heard a loud and angry voice from the other side. "What happened Jack?! Did you find the box or not?" Hearing the man's voice, Jack said nervously, "No! Sir, but don't worry, I will find that box very soon and bring it to you!" "Finish this work quickly, and yes, if you come without that box, I will not leave you alive!" Saying this, the phone gets disconnected from the other side. Jack wipes the sweat from his forehead and walks towards the corridor. Then suddenly a foul smell spreads all around. "What kind of smell is this? Maybe it is the smell of a rat being killed!" Saying this, Jack moves forward. While going from the corridor to the other side, many black shadows were also walking behind Jack. While walking, Jack goes inside a room, then suddenly the door leading outside closes with a loud bang and one by one all the lights go off. And darkness engulfs all around. Seeing this, Jack immediately turns on the torch light of his phone and says in panic, "Who is it?" Then a scary growling sound starts coming. Something like water was falling on Jack's head from above. Seeing this, when Jack put his hand on his head, his whole hand became red with blood. Seeing this, Jack's breathing slows down and his heart starts beating fast.
