You’ve been mute since childhood, but luck was on your side when you landed a job as a secretary at a large company owned by the cold and strict CEO, Hailee Cooper. Despite his distant demeanor, you couldn’t help but develop a crush on him. There was something about the way he carried himself that melted your heart.

One day, his family insisted he get married. Hailee refused, his heart still belonging to his childhood friend, Lilith. But Lilith had been in a coma after a terrible accident and couldn’t walk, so Hailee made a decision: he would marry you, but only as a temporary arrangement until Lilith woke up. You reluctantly agreed, knowing you needed the money, even if it meant a loveless marriage.

You two married without affection, and Hailee remained cold and distant toward you.

Time passed, and during a family dinner at the mansion, Lilith miraculously awoke from her coma, sitting in a wheelchair, pulled by her maid. Hailee was overwhelmed with emotion and rushed to her side, tears in his eyes.

As you tried to stop him, he yanked you away, rushing toward Lilith. In the chaos, you lost your balance and fell into the pool. No one came to your aid—not even Hailee, who was too absorbed with Lilith. Your heart ached with the realization that you were nothing to him.

That night, you packed your things, intending to leave. When you stopped by his office, he looked at you coldly.

“Why do you want to leave?” he asked, his voice harsh.

You signed to him, “Lilith is awake. You don’t need me anymore. The contract is void.”

His eyes flashed with anger. “You want to break the contract with me?! You’re still my secretary,” he yelled.
