Where Meteor Meets the Ocean: The Heiress Who Wouldn't Bow

They taught her how to bow. She showed them how to burn like a burning meteor.

She was banished. He was bound.
Now a contract marriage might ruin-or save-them both.

[Written in TAGLISH] Some collisions were written in the stars. This one might destroy them both.

She was meant to be free.
He was meant to let her go.
But destiny has a twisted sense of humor.

Perrine Dubois is back-after four years of being banished, just like she wanted.
Away from her people who keeps telling her who she should be.
Away from expectations and pressure.
Away from a privilege and legacy she never asked.
Away from her damned family.

She built a new life in New York with her found family.
But when a scandal, the police, and the threat of imprisonment loom over them, she's forced to return to the world she swore she'd never be part of again.

The world of old money, power, and her five-generation family conglomerate.

And worse?
She hears his name again.

Luke Fortaleza.

The emotionless, duty-bound man she's been betrothed to since childhood-thanks to a centuries-old promise their families won't let them escape.

Her father's ultimatum?
Marry him, or your friends will suffer the consequences.

But Luke isn't the same puppet she remembers.
He has a plan.
He offers her a deal: a two-year contract marriage.

It was either him, or ruin someone's dreams... again.

With no way out Perri agrees to his offer despite not knowing what's in it for him.

Trapped between old wounds and new consequences, they're forced to collide again-
Fire meets water. Rage meets silence. A meteor meets the ocean.

And nothing will be the same.
