He was born into a world of power and expectation.
She built her dreams from quiet struggle and fierce determination.
They were never meant to collide.
Until a single lie... forced their worlds to crash into each other.
To save a reputation and protect a future, they sign a contract that binds them as husband and wife. On paper only.
Two years together.
No feelings.
No promises.
No future.
But the heart has never cared for rules.
Behind the polished smiles they show the world, there are arguments that spark, moments that soften, and a connection neither of them knows how to name.
Slowly, the lines blur..between duty and desire, between pretending and wanting, between two strangers learning the shape of each other's hearts.
Just as they begin to fall, life pulls them in opposite directions again.
Words are said that can't be taken back.
Walls rise where warmth once bloomed.
And yet... fate isn't finished with them.
When a truth comes to light. A truth that changes everything. They are forced to face the one thing they both tried so hard to avoid:
That somewhere along the way, a contract became a love story.
And letting go might be the one thing neither of them is strong enough to do.
