After being pressured into an arranged marriage to merge their families' companies, Megan and Caspain are stuck living together as husband and wife.
"I give you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, to stand by your side in good times and in bad, to share your joy as well as your sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals and dream, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, to share my hopes and dreams with you, and bring you solace in times of need. And to cherish you as long as we both shall live."
"I now pronounce you husband and wife."
It was to be a merger rather than a marriage of convenience. She needed to be married, by her thirtieth birthday and he needed to be married to avoid a take-over and to hold on to the firm that had been run by his family for decades. During their one and only meeting over lunch they had agreed on the finer points of this merger. Their engagement would be large and loud. He'd insisted on that. Their wedding would be small and private. She'd insisted on that. They would live together for a year, and they both agreed, it would be sufficient for their situation. A shame it was that simple.
