Love, lies, and a fortune at stake—can a fake marriage survive the truth? In the shadow of a vast inheritance, Isabelle faces a cruel ultimatum from her late father’s will: secure three trusts worth fifty-five million by meeting strict milestones—marriage by thirty, motherhood by thirty-five, and a fifth wedding anniversary—or lose half to charity. There’s one catch: the will demands a heterosexual marriage, clashing with her true identity. Desperate, she proposes a sham marriage to Darren, an old schoolmate scarred by bullying, offering him a stipend and 10% of the fortune in exchange for a façade. With her best friend Kerry’s support, they navigate the charade, but secrets unravel when Kerry and Darren fall in love, bound by silence to protect Isabelle’s plan. As a suspicious charity representative digs into their sudden “romance,” he tempts Darren with a bigger payout to expose the truth. Torn between loyalty and temptation, will Darren stand by Isabelle or take the extra money?
