The Villain Duke Bought My Love

Thirty episodes. A CEO signs a six-month contract marriage with her own nanny to keep custody of her son. In court the opposing lawyer reads out that she spent a hundred and thirteen days away from the city, while the child can only name the nanny.

Her shop sign says Knox Repairs. Her signature says Snow Fox, and it is the one mark that can void an inheritance in this business. Damon did not marry her to repay a life. He married her so the paperwork would be examined by the person who wrote the standard.

The ceremony stopped at the second vow. Ethan's mother was holding a folder, not a bouquet. Mia read three lines, understood the penalty clause, and asked the pianist to stop. Nobody in that hall had come for a wedding. The car at the kerb had its engine running before she reached the pavement, and the man in the front seat did not ask where she wanted to go. He asked what she wanted signed.

The wedding was at eleven. By nine she had the receipts, by ten she had the other woman's name, and by ten forty she was sitting in a back office across from the man Ethan had been afraid of his whole life. He asked one question: what do you want. She said the truth, in writing, signed. He said that costs more than a wedding.
