The Contract, The Betrayal, The Victory

Synopsis

Three years ago, Claire Bennett saved Miranda Quinn. That act changed her fate—she ended up marrying Michael Quinn, the heir to the Quinn family, Miranda's grandson. To the outside world, Michael was the picture of a devoted, fortunate husband. "I'm a lucky man to have found Claire," he'd say at galas and press events, his smile never wavering. Behind closed doors, the facade dissolved. "So, Mr. Quinn, you've got everything under control now, right? Being Mrs. Quinn isn't exactly a walk in the park," Claire would remark. In just three years, Quinn Holdings' value had skyrocketed, doubling in size. Michael had gone from being under his family's thumb to finally calling his own shots. "Three months from now, when the contract ends, I'll keep my word," Michael said. Yes, they were married on paper—a contract couple. They both got what they needed from this arrangement. For three years, they'd shared the same house—no romance, no messy feelings, just two people who got along like friends. Once the three years were up, they'd go their separate ways. Now, there were only three months left before their agreement ended.
