Failing to get married more than five times made Elle decide to enjoy being alone. She is tired of looking for true love that must be owned by a handsome and sexy man. Who would have thought, suddenly came a woman named Clara offering her husband, Arley to marry. Of course it's not free. Elle had to spend a lot of money to redeem Arley. Arley's charming face makes Elle not mind digging deep into her pockets. Feeling like game material, Arley closes his heart tightly from Elle. Can the woman melt Arley's heart?
Stop all this! I'm not willing to marry a woman like you!" A man struggled, wanting to be released from the grip of the two large men who were the men of the woman who smiled defiantly before him.
"Arley, your destiny is in my hands. Your beloved wife has exchanged you for money. Your duty is to be my husband, warming my nights. Do you understand?" the woman whispered in the ear of the man she called Arley.
"Crazy woman! I don't believe your nonsense! Let go of me!" Arley kept trying to break free, but he was not that strong. Her strength was nothing compared to the two bodyguards.
"I don't need you to believe me or not. Tomorrow on our wedding day, you will know all the facts. For now, enjoy all the treatments I have prepared, so that you look even more handsome and seductive tomorrow. Your face is so perfect, I don't know how your wife could foolishly
throw you away just for money." The woman stroked Arley's face with one hand, while her eyes traced every inch of the man's face with a passionate gaze.
When the woman was about to land a peck on his lips, Arley scowled, he looked away with a displeased look in the other direction. She really did not want to be touched by the woman in front of her.
"Keep that disgusting face of yours away from me! You should look in the mirror and see how horrible your face is. What a shameless woman!" Arley snorted harshly. Another bodyguard did not like what Arley had said and squeezed the man's shirt collar hard.
"Watch your language! Who do you think you're talking to?" he snapped. Arley was even more enraged, he clasped his fingers tightly, wanting to throw a fist at the bodyguard if he were free.
"Enough! There is no need for emotion. None of you can touch her except me. Take her to the infirmary. Remember, no violence, unless she persists." the woman ordered, as Arley was quickly led away from her presence. Feeling it useless to resist, the man simply followed where the bodyguard led him.
"An interesting man. The moment I saw him I felt an unusual vibration. It's like I really fell in love with him. Arley, I will make you completely fall into my arms." the woman smirked. She then stepped away to the special treatment room for herself.
Every woman who saw Arley would have many reasons to admire him. A well-proportioned body shape, a near-perfect face with all the beauty in it, it was just that the man was unlucky in the economic factor.
He was one of the laborers on the cattle farm owned by the woman he was going to marry. He and many other laborers take care of the rich woman's thousands of dairy cows to produce good quality milk.
But Arley's life is about to change, from laborer to boss, even though it's not what the man wants, in fact he opposes everything. He was unwilling to make himself a slave to the woman's love, a woman whose full name was Elle Clarissa Haque.
Elle is a woman who cannot be rejected by any man. In addition to her beauty which is quite famous to several corners, she is also rich. It's just that, her nature is obsessed with handsome men and easily bored with partners, making her given the title as a male explorer woman.

Just a few moments ago...
Arley was surprised when two of her employer's bodyguards suddenly ambushed her and took her into a car. She had no idea where she was being taken. Why so suddenly and without reason? That was a question she could not express.
"Why are you taking me suddenly? What did I do wrong?" Arley tried to ask nicely to the two bodyguards accompanying her during the trip. But the two bodyguards were as silent as statues and did not give her any answers.
"Please answer me. Why are you silent?!" Arley stared at the two of them in turn. What was going on? The man was truly in a quandary.
"Sir has nothing to fear, we will not harm you." said one of the large bodyguards beside him.
Sir? What did they mean? How the laborer seemed to be called master by them, this was really strange. Something was fishy and Arley had to know what it was.
"Why are you suddenly calling me sir? That's strange." Arley looked at the two of them again, hoping they could answer his question.
"Since Mr. Arley will soon marry Lady Elle, automatically, Mr. Arley will become our master." The information from one of the bodyguards naturally surprised him. Him? Marrying Elle? How could that be possible. He had never been involved in any relationship or scandal with that woman except for a boss and employee relationship.
"You guys must be wrong. I'm already married, how could I marry Mrs. Elle?" Arley persisted in convincing them. He would indeed not marry Elle, never.
Arley had a wife who he thought was beautiful and kind. Her name was Clara Annetta, they had only been married for a year and had no children yet. All on purpose, because of his job as a laborer. Although the salary was decent, Clara's lifestyle was quite difficult to keep up with. That's why his wife always said, "Let's not have children yet, we'll have them when you become a billionaire."
Although Arley didn't like what she said, he always tried to understand because he loved Clara so much.
"We can't be wrong. The data we read is a man named Arley Hudson Rayn, age twenty-seven, occupation laborer, married status and it is you. No more dodging." One of the bodyguards gave a brief and clear account, and all the data did belong to Arley.
But what was the matter? Why did he have to marry Elle? And what about Clara?
Arley thought the rumors he had heard all along were just hearsay. Rumors about Elle obsessing over good-looking men in order to possess them. He wondered, of all the workers, why did it have to be him? Arley was not the only good-looking man in his group.
"I will not marry her. I will not cuckold my wife. Put me down quickly!" Arley tried to pull away. She would not allow herself to become the object of the woman's wild fantasies.
"No way, this is an order. Mr. Arley must prepare for the Master's wedding ceremony tomorrow. Don't let us be rude!" The bodyguard tried to threaten him. Hah! This was crazy. How could a woman go as far as kidnapping him just because she wanted him to marry her. How lowly that woman was! Even though she clearly knew, Arley was already married.
"I'm not willing to marry a crazy woman like her. She easily forced me to marry her, even though she knew I was already married." she snorted in annoyance. Arley really couldn't get over Elle's mindset. From this moment on, she no longer respected Elle as her superior.
When Zora was sick during the early days of her pregnancy, Ezrah was with his first love, Piper. When Zora got into an accident and called Ezrah, he said he was busy, when in actual fact, he was buying shoes for Piper. Zora lost her baby because of the accident, and throughout her stay at the hospital, Ezrah never showed up. She already knew that he didn't love her, but that was the last straw for the camel's back, and her fragile heart could not take it anymore. When Ezrah arrived home a few days after Zora was discharged from the hospital, he no longer met the woman who always greeted him with a smile and cared for him. Zora stood at the top of the stairs and yelled with a cold expression, "Good news, Ezrah! Our baby died in a car accident. There is nothing between us anymore, so let's get a divorce." The man who claimed not to have any feelings for Zora, being cold and distant towards her, and having asked her for a divorce twice, instantly panicked.
"You're pathetic!" Brenden sneered, each word cutting deep into Corinna's heart. Years of emotional wounds had drained every ounce of love she once held. "I've wasted enough time on you. If there's a next life, I hope we never meet again." Her words severed the bond between them like a blade. From that moment on, Brenden was haunted by her absence—unable to sleep, longing for the warmth he took for granted.
"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?"

"If you’re eager to see me, you’d better join the queue, darling."
"Ahh!" She was in a moaning mess. She did not want to feel anything for this man. She hated him. His hands began to move all over her body. She gasped when he pulled down the back chain of her dress. The chain stopped at her lower waist, so when he zipped it off, her upper back and waist were exposed. "D-Don't touch m-ummm!" His fingers rolled around her bare back, and she pressed her head against the pillow. His touches were giving her goosebumps all over her body. With a deep angry voice, he whispered in her ear, "I am going to make you forget his touches, kisses, and everything. Every time you touch another man, you will only think of me." - - - Ava Adler was a nerdy omega. People bullied her because they thought she was ugly and unattractive.
