Elias, broke and desperate to save his dying grandmother, is forced to marry a stranger at City Hall. That stranger is billionaire Dorian, who has searched for Elias for ten years and will destroy anyone who hurts him. But can their fake marriage survive the enemies circling them?
Why are you walking so far behind me? I don't want to get in your way. Come here. Here, you can do better than that, little one.
Cancel the Paris trip and the gala. I'm not going. Are you staying home because of me? I run a multi-billion dollar empire, Elias.
I do what I want. And right now, I wanna stay here with you. You're too good to me. Then make sure you never leave me.
Take your time, Elias. I've waited ten years. I can wait a little longer. Grandma, are you in pain?
I miss you so much. Sir, Mr. Wren hasn't spoken much since this afternoon. He's been looking at an old Did he ask to go to the hospital? No, sir. He said he didn't want to be a bother.
Dorian? I'm fine. I was just- Liar. Why are you crying? I miss Grandpa.
The nurses said she wakes up in pain at night, calling my name. But I can't go see her every day. Why? I don't want to annoy you.
Dr. Marcus Hale, this is Dorian Ashcroft. My husband's grandmother is in your ICU. Get the best team of specialists, transfer her to the VIP penthouse suite immediately, and put her on 24-7 exclusive care.
Every series sells Swiss rupees. Put every single expense on my black card. Do it now. What else?
Tell me exactly what you're worried about. But that's going to cost millions. I told you, money is never an issue. From now on, your grandma is my grandma.
Her life is my responsibility. Darian, why are you doing this for me? Because you're my husband, Elias. And I take care of what's mine.
What is it? He paid for it. Dorian Ashcross just gave him a blank check for his grandmother's care. You told him to marry someone for 200 grand?
And he ends up with a billionaire who drops millions without blinking? He thinks he's safe because Mr. Ashboth is protecting him? The higher you climb, the harder you fall, Elias. I will drag you back down to the gutter where you belong.
Grandma Rin's consultation is at 10. The Ashboth family ordered the absolute best protocol, billed directly to Ashboth Group's limitless account. The CEO is watching this personally.
Talk about treating him like a king. Wait. This room. The old lady, is she Elias' grandmother? Are you a family member, sir?
I know her. Who arranged all this? Mr. Dorian Ashbroath himself. 24-7 elite care, imported meds, no budget cap.
Excuse us. Who the hell are you looking at? I was just passing by. Checking in. This is Ashcroft territory. Strays aren't allowed to sniff around. Back off!
Serena, Dorian Ashcroft put his grandpa in the penthouse medical suite. Did you fucking know I know. What's wrong? Is the mighty Kevin getting jealous of a retard? Jealous? I just didn't expect him to play this real. He's dropping millions on him. You said he'd be begging on the streets in a week. And now look at you. Regretting tossing him away, Kevin?
Regret? Over a brain-dead toy? Never. I thought you had a big, boring meeting today, Mr. Ashford. Canceled. My little husband wanted to see Grandpa. Nothing is more important. You're the sweetest.
The boy who could barely speak, the one I threw away for 200 grand, is now Dorian Ashworth's untouchable What the fuck did I throw away? Rita, take a look. This is going to break the internet.
The Ashcroft's new groom faking being a retard to marry a billionaire? Damn, this is truly unimaginable. But Ashcroft hasn't said a word. He might actually like him.
Who cares if he likes him? I want to see the whole city rip him to shreds. I want him ruined. Consider it done.
