After a drunken night with her powerful boss, Damian, secretary Amelia hopes to forget it ever happened. But when her mother falls critically ill and the medical bills pile up, she has no choice but to sign a one-year contract marriage with him.
Her boyfriend of two years, Ethan, soon reveals his true colors—selfish, manipulative, and happy to live off her. Meanwhile, Damian may act cold and controlling, but he quietly protects Amelia, especially from Vivian, a jealous colleague determined to tear them apart.
As Amelia and Damian grow closer, she discovers she’s pregnant but hides it, believing Damian doesn’t want the baby. Then buried secrets unravel: Ethan’s supposed act of heroism was a lie, and he joins Vivian in kidnapping Amelia.
Damian rescues her and finally confesses his love. When their contract ends, he tears it up—and proposes for real.
