Emma secretly marries CEO Nolan for surgery money, then cleans his offices while love grows.
Desperate to fund her father's operation, Emma accepts a covert one-year marriage to billionaire Nolan. She spends her days scrubbing floors in his corporate tower, swallowing insults from coworkers who don't know she owns the building by contract. Nolan watches her refusal to use his name for comfort, and his indifference cracks into respect. Their arranged proximity dissolves the transactional wall, letting real tenderness replace the legal fiction, while the piano she abandoned starts calling her back.
