Synopsis

After her fiancé Rhys humiliates her in public, her family tries to sell her off to a wealthy creep. Desperate and broken, Mira has a one-night stand with her mysterious neighbor, Ashton — then convinces him to pose as her fake fiancé to escape her family's grip. But Ashton is no ordinary neighbor. He's Ashton Laurent, a powerful business heir with terrifying influence. Their contractual arrangement spirals out of control as Rhys refuses to let go, her sister Catherine schemes against her, and her parents tighten their stranglehold. Yet time and again, Ashton steps in with ruthless force to protect her — his eyes betraying something far deeper than a cold business deal. When Mira discovers that another woman has been waiting for Ashton for years, she begins to wonder: is this marriage of revenge her lifeline — or another gilded cage?
