Emergency Marriage To My Secret Billionaire

Episode 1

Emily has dreamed of this wedding since she was a little girl, and every detail is finally perfect — until it isn't. Moments before the ceremony, she catches her groom, Derek, with her maid of honor and best friend, Sophia. The betrayal is brutal. Sophia taunts her, and Derek's side makes it clear they always saw Emily as a gold digger.

Humiliated in front of everyone, Emily collapses. Someone shouts for an ambulance, and a paramedic named James Whitmore rushes to her side, calling her name and trying to wake her as the crowd panics around the fallen bride.

Episode 2

While Emily is carried out on a stretcher, James's phone blows up with a very different problem. His father is clearing out his condo and dragging him back to the family mansion, threatening two blind dates a day until he marries and produces an heir.

James insists he's no longer a Walton — he took his mother's name and stepped down as CEO. He's just an EMT now. But when he reaches Emily's side and tries to wake her, she stirs and asks him a question that changes everything: will you marry me?

Episode 3

Emily isn't joking. She planned every detail of this day and refuses to let anyone take it from her. Marrying a stranger would also save James from his father's blind-date campaign — and get Emily away from the people humiliating her.

James agrees. When the officiant asks if anyone objects, Derek's side sneers that a broke barista and an ambulance crew deserve each other, mocking James for not even being able to afford the venue. They demand the couple be thrown out, unaware the man they're insulting secretly owns the place.

Episode 4

The insults keep flying until someone mentions the Walton Group. Derek's family suddenly goes quiet, scrambling to check who they're dealing with. James doesn't reveal himself — he just lets them sweat, and the ceremony goes ahead. "I do," they both say, and they're pronounced husband and wife.

Afterward, James quietly pulls strings, calling in a favor against the Hawthorne family as a wedding gift for his new wife. Elsewhere, someone receives a termination notice from the Walton Group and panics — the consequences are already rolling downhill.

Episode 5

The dust settles, and Emily realizes how much she lost in one day: her fiancé and her best friend. James reassures her she did the right thing, though she insists she's done with rich guys for good.

Then reality hits. Emily has no place to live — her condo is gone. James offers his apartment without hesitation. She accepts, grateful for a hot shower and sleep, with no idea she's just moved in with the heir to the Walton fortune.

Episode 6

Emily looks around James's place and admits it's not too shabby. He says he's been there a few years, nothing fancy, and hopes to buy it someday. Emily shares her own dream — saving up to open her own café — though it's still just a plan.

She heads off to shower, then yells for James because she needs her shirt. It's a small, awkward moment that makes their brand-new marriage feel strangely domestic, even as James keeps his real life carefully hidden.

Episode 7

Night falls, and there's only one bed. James offers to crash elsewhere; Emily insists he can't sleep like that. They agree to share, drawing a strict pillow border down the middle — his side, her side, no crossing.

Neither of them can actually sleep. Emily wonders if her new husband is really out cold. Then she crosses the line herself and asks whether they should consummate the marriage. James freezes. Something about it doesn't feel right.

Episode 8

James tells her plainly that she isn't ready, and he won't touch her until she is — he promises. Emily thanks him, relieved. It's a surprisingly gentle moment for two people who met at a wedding disaster.

Then James slips away to make a call, instructing someone to take photos from good angles but never show his face. Meanwhile, he catches Emily listing her wedding dress on eBay. The secret billionaire is already juggling two lives, and Emily has no clue.

Episode 9

Emily explains the dress could cover six months of rent, but James tells her she doesn't need to sell it — if she likes it, keep it. Then the budget talk begins, and she asks about his income.

James claims he makes about $38,000 a year as an EMT, with little savings, no car, and a rented condo. He hates lying to her, but she's made it clear she hates rich guys, so she can't know the truth. He worries he's overdone the "ordinary guy" act and she'll see right through it.

Episode 10

Emily tells James not to worry — she'll take care of them. He turns it around: they're married now, so what's his is hers, and if she ever needs money, she only has to ask.

For their first day as a couple, she wants to try a high-end nail salon at the Walton mall. James drives her there in a nice car and grabs snacks while she picks a color. As she admires her nails, delighted, someone familiar appears — and the look on their face says trouble.
