Synopsis
Five years ago, Evelyn accidentally fell into the Chicago River and was saved by a mysterious young man. Five years later, just when her relationship with her boyfriend, Kevin, seemed stable, she faced a double crisis: Kevin abandoned and betrayed her to marry a real estate tycoon's daughter, and her mother fell critically ill, desperately needing expensive surgery. Just then, Howard, a wounded mafia boss, stumbled into the fast-food diner where she worked. He had fallen for her at first sight long ago. Howard offered a contract: be his wife for one year, and he would pay all her mother's medical bills. To save her mother, Evelyn agreed. After marriage, Howard’s dominant and possessive nature made Evelyn feel suffocated. But gradually, she discovered the tenderness beneath his cold exterior. He stopped her workplace bullies, punished her cheating ex-boyfriend, and even went to great lengths to find a long-discontinued teddy bear she cherished. Meanwhile, a regretful Kevin returned to harass Evelyn, only to be taught a lesson by Howard, fueling Kevin's resentment. Amber, the Moretti family heiress whom Howard had jilted, teamed up with Kevin out of spite. Amber kidnapped Evelyn, staging a high-stakes casino game to force Howard to gamble his Chicago territory. At the critical moment, Evelyn flipped the card for Howard, winning the bet. However, Victor Moretti went back on his word and ambushed them in a dark alley. Howard fought off the mob alone, risking his life to protect his wife. After the crisis, Evelyn finally learned the truth: the man who saved her five years ago wasn't Kevin, but Howard. With the truth revealed, they opened their hearts to each other. Ultimately, Howard left the underworld for Evelyn, and they renewed their vows in church. With Evelyn pregnant, they shared a kiss surrounded by blessings. A marriage that began as a transaction became an unforgettable, deep love.
