A Deal With My Billionaire Donor

Episode 1

Claire Miller gets news that upends everything: her overall health is fine, but her AMH levels are low, and the doctor recommends she start trying for a child soon—ideally within three months. The weight of it lands hard, especially with her mother's voice in her head, hoping for grandchildren one day.

Claire has always wanted kids, and now the timeline isn't a choice anymore. She's crying in a clinic, staring down a countdown she never asked for. With her ovarian reserve below average for her age, the question isn't whether she wants a baby—it's whether she can have one in time.

Episode 2

At a party, Claire runs straight into her ex and his new girlfriend, Candy—who is six months pregnant, just three months after the breakup. Candy doesn't hold back, mocking Claire's odds and suggesting she raid a sperm bank and DIY a family.

Then the humiliation sharpens: someone reads Claire's medical results aloud—diminished ovarian reserve, three months to try. Candy twists the knife, calling her the golden goose running out of eggs.

Meanwhile, a separate pressure is building elsewhere: Ethan Reed is told that if he isn't married by thirty, the trust and the company go to someone else. Two countdowns are about to collide.

Episode 3

Candy keeps pushing, calling Claire a clearance rack—expired, free, and still no takers. Claire fires back that she already has a boyfriend, someone kind, the one thing money can't buy. Candy laughs it off and raises the stakes with a bet.

If Claire isn't pregnant within three months, she has to admit out loud, in public, that she's just a dried-up old woman. If Claire wins, Candy has to run through the office screaming an apology. Claire takes it.

The moment it's done, panic hits: sperm banks are six months out, and she has three. Where is she supposed to find the perfect donor now? Then a voice offers help.

Episode 4

Ethan Reed makes his pitch with a resume, not a pickup line: PhD, IQ 200, clean medical report, no genetic disorders, clean family history. He ticks every box on Claire's donor wish list.

The catch: she marries him contractually for three months—long enough to silence his family and lock in his inheritance. In return, she gets his sperm and a real shot at winning her bet.

Claire asks if a paper marriage is really all he wants. He says he isn't looking for love, just efficiency. They add terms: three rounds of artificial insemination, temporary cohabitation, and Claire's own addition—financial independence, so nobody calls her a gold digger.

Episode 5

At the clinic, the reality of the arrangement turns awkward fast. A staff member asks if Claire wants to go into the collection room with Ethan to show a little support—and she immediately, flusteredly, declines.

Left alone, Ethan gets a teasing offer of "help," which he shuts down just as quickly. Claire is mortified, muttering about how crazy this all is, and decides she'll wait outside instead.

For all the clinical language of contracts and procedures, the scene is anything but clinical. Two people who agreed to keep this efficient are suddenly very aware of each other—and neither seems prepared for that.

Episode 6

Ethan's people dig into Claire's past and find a mess: she's been a designer at Nova, her ex cheated on her with his boss Andy Ashford, and Andy has made her life hell ever since—even rejecting her proposal last week for not being "feminine enough."

Ethan doesn't hesitate. He orders that Claire be made the new design director at Nova, brushing off the idea that marrying her was impulsive. She's interesting, he says.

His reasoning is simple and possessive in equal measure: the marriage may have a deadline, but she's still his wife. Anyone mistreating his wife is mistreating him. Claire has no idea what's waiting at the office.

Episode 7

The procedure goes smoothly, and the clinic says they'll know in four weeks whether it worked. Claire is overwhelmed—she might actually get to be a mom.

Then comes the correction she wasn't ready for: they're married now, so she's his wife, and he wants to be called Ethan. Claire pushes back—fake wife, remember? But she agrees to meet his mother.

Nora is warm and delighted, admitting she's been dodging her son's matchmaking attempts for ages. She's clearly thrilled to have a daughter-in-law—and she has one mission in mind: grandchildren. The pressure is already on.

Episode 8

Claire moves in temporarily, and the proximity is immediately a problem. She catches herself swooning over something as small as his cologne, then scolds herself: this is temporary, three months, that's it.

Trying to cook, she fumbles through an awkward kitchen moment with Ethan, then blurts out her news—she's been promoted to design director and starts tomorrow. In the chaos, something spills, and the moment turns charged.

Ethan warns her she's playing with fire. Claire is flustered, hyperaware of him, and clearly losing the cool detachment the contract was supposed to guarantee. Three months suddenly feels like a very long time.

Episode 9

Claire arrives at Nova ready to work—and ready for Candy to start packing up her desk. But the office is buzzing about something bigger: the new CEO is coming, and no one knows who it is.

Candy and the others speculate about the rich, young, single replacement, and the jabs fly again—Candy sneering that Claire should try her luck with him, or that she's hoping for immaculate conception. Claire fires back that she doesn't need to trap anyone; she offers value on her own.

Then the new boss walks in. It's Mr. Reed—Ethan. Claire's contract husband is now her CEO, and nobody in that room is ready for what comes next.
