Elena Carter (FL) – 25 ,The Clumsy but Fierce Substitute Bride
I wanted to make a name for myself, not be handed one through marriage. But here I am—forced into a secret marriage with my CEO, who treats me like an unwanted contract he never signed.
Jace Bennett (ML) – 28, The Broody CEO & The Unexpected Husband
In business, I control everything. In life, I prefer no surprises. So when my supposed bride ran away, I expected a disaster—not a clumsy substitute who turns my entire world upside down.
Evelyn Carter (FL older sis) –27, The Runaway Bride
I was never meant to be a trophy wife. So I ran. But running away from fate? That’s never easy, especially when it comes knocking in the form of an old flame.
Ryan Hayes (ML bff) –27, I love myself and jace and nathen
I don’t chase people. But when the woman who left me standing in the wreckage of my past returns, she better be ready for a storm.
Sophia Mitchell (FL bff) –25,The Firecracker Best Friend
Elena may be a mess, but she’s my mess. And if anyone tries to hurt her, well… they’ll be dealing with me.
Nathan Reed (ML bff) –28, The Devil-May-Care Charmer
Life’s too short to be serious all the time—unless you’re Jace, then it’s a lifelong commitment.

Episode 1
Bennett Corporation – CEO’s Office
The city skyline stretched behind David Bennett as he leaned back in his leather chair, the dim lighting of his office casting sharp shadows on the glass walls. The air smelled of expensive whiskey and power—two things he had plenty of. Across from him sat Michael Carter, hands clasped together, his face calm, but his eyes betraying the weight of the conversation they were about to have.
David Bennett (ML dad)
[Swirling the whiskey in his glass] Let’s not waste time, Michael. We both know why you’re here.
Michael Carter (FL dad)
[Sighs, nodding] The merger.
David Bennett (ML dad)
[Smirks] Exactly. Carter Enterprises has been struggling, and this deal will ensure its survival. But I need more than just a signed contract. I need assurance.
Michael Carter (FL dad)
[Furrows his brows] Assurance?
David Bennett (ML dad)
[Leaning forward, voice firm] A marriage. My son, Jace, and your daughter, Evelyn. A union that secures not just our businesses, but our legacies.
Michael’s fingers tightened slightly against the armrest of his chair. He had expected something like this, but hearing it out loud made the weight of it settle heavier on his shoulders.
Michael Carter (FL dad)
[Exhales, rubbing his temple] Evelyn… She’s not the type to agree to something like this.
David Bennett (ML dad)
[Chuckles, shaking his head] Then make her understand. You and I both know business isn’t about personal feelings. It’s about survival. And right now, Carter Enterprises is hanging by a thread. This merger would not only strengthen both companies but also secure her future. You wouldn’t want her struggling, would you?
Michael remained silent, staring at the polished floor beneath him. David’s words were calculated, hitting precisely where they needed to.
Michael Carter (FL dad)
[After a long pause, sighing] I’ll talk to her.
David smirked, raising his glass in silent victory.
David Bennett (ML dad)
Good. Let’s hope she understands her duty over emotions.
As Michael Carter walks out of the office, his mind is already racing with the conversation he has to have with his daughter. Little does he know, this decision is going to set off a chain of events none of them could have predicted...

Episode 2
Bennett Mansion – Living Room, late evening. The atmosphere is tense. Jace sits on the sofa, while his father, David, and his mother, Vanessa, are gathered around.
David Bennett (ML dad)
Jace, sit down. We need to discuss the Carter deal.
Jace Bennett (ML)
What now, Dad? I’ve got enough on my plate without more surprises.
Vanessa Bennett (ML mom)
Your father and I have been talking. This isn’t just business—it’s about securing our future.
David Bennett (ML dad)
Carter Enterprises is crucial for our expansion in the fashion industry. For the merger to go through, you need to marry Evelyn Carter.
Jace Bennett (ML)
Marry Evelyn? The woman I barely know? You’re telling me my future is tied to a business contract?
Vanessa Bennett (ML mom)
It’s not merely a contract, Jace. It’s a strategic alliance. Evelyn is the key to stabilizing Carter Enterprises, and that, in turn, protects Bennett Enterprises.
Jace Bennett (ML)
So, what, I’m just a pawn in this deal? I built this company on my own, and now you expect me to sacrifice my personal life for your plans?
David Bennett (ML dad)
Think clearly, son. This move secures our market position and keeps our competitors at bay. The stakes are too high to let emotions get in the way.
Jace Bennett (ML)
And if I refuse?
Vanessa Bennett (ML mom)
Then everything we’ve built is at risk. Your father and I won’t let that happen.
(A heavy silence falls. Jace’s jaw tightens as he wrestles with the decision.)
Jace Bennett (ML)
…Fine. I’ll do it
David Bennett (ML dad)
Good. Remember, this isn’t about love—it’s about legacy.
Vanessa Bennett (ML mom)
We’re doing this for the family, Jace. You’ll understand one day.
Jace Bennett (ML)
(Murmuring) I already feel like I’m losing something I can’t get back.
(The conversation hangs in the air as the screen fades, leaving Jace’s conflicted expression to say it all.)
