Story Recap

Episode 1

Jillian is a nurse with a secret: for about thirty months she's been chatting online with a man she's sure is just a sweet, ordinary plumber. No selfies, no real name—just butterflies. At work, her coworkers tease her about the mystery man, and she defends him: he's kind, he's funny, and he finally wants to meet in person.

Then the floor drops. A debt collector corners Jillian over her parents' missed mortgage payments, threatening her when she can't pay. Nathan Mormon steps in before things turn ugly. Jillian has no idea her online crush and her intimidating boss might be the same man.

Episode 2

Nathan Mormon's name is on everyone's lips—the richest man in town, and Jillian finally sees him up close when he shields her from the debt collector. He doesn't back down, and the thug leaves with a warning. Jillian thanks him, flustered, still clueless about who he really is.

Before she can process any of it, a page crackles over the hospital speakers: Nurse Jillian, report to VIP room 101 immediately. Her patient is in urgent condition. She rushes there—and realizes room 101 belongs to Nathan's grandfather. The old man isn't dying quietly. He's made arrangements, and he drops a bombshell: the two of them are getting married next week. Jillian can only stare.

Episode 3

Grandpa is dead serious. He claims he has only three more months to live, and marrying Nathan to Jillian is his final wish—he calls her the kindest, sweetest girl he's ever met. Nathan protests; Jillian protests louder. She barely knows his grandson. Grandpa's answer is simple: they have a whole week to fix that.

Nathan's sister Jenny isn't about to let a nurse marry into the family, and the inheritance hangs over everything. Cornered, Nathan makes Jillian an offer: marry him, and she gets a million dollars the moment his grandfather is gone. She's just a contract wife, nothing more. Insulted, Jillian fires back—she wouldn't marry him if he were the last man alive. But the debt collector's threat still echoes.

Episode 4

At the altar, the vows are recited: to hold and to love, for better or worse, for richer or poorer—until death parts them. Jillian stands beside Nathan Mormon, the richest man in town, wondering what she's gotten herself into. He reminds her he paid for this; she snaps that she's the one paying the price. It's a one-time deal, squared away and done.

Jenny watches from the crowd, seething. She won't accept an ordinary nurse in her family, and she vows to expose the scam and take back the family fortune. Through it all, Jillian keeps texting her online crush, dodging his invitation to meet—she's been feeling sick, her family's a mess, and she has no idea what she's doing with her life.

Episode 5

Jillian walks in on Nathan shirtless and immediately regrets her timing. The tension between them is thick, and it only gets worse when she learns Jenny lives in the same house—and has been slandering her to Grandpa and scheming for the inheritance since day one. Jillian is furious that Nathan never mentioned this before she signed the contract.

She lays down her boundaries: no touching, no kissing, no sharing a bed. Nathan scoffs, claiming she's not his type—and that he already has a girlfriend he's madly in love with. So why didn't he marry her? Because they've never met. She's his online crush, and he doesn't even know her face. Jillian freezes—she can't let him see her phone.

Episode 6

The accusation flies both ways: who's the pervert now? Nathan struts around like a peacock while Jillian tries to keep her distance—and her secret. She needs an excuse to text her "plumber" back, but he's tied up with work. Meanwhile, Nathan tells himself the contract will be over in three months, right on schedule.

Over messages, Jillian complains her boss is a nightmare, though the pay is decent. Her mystery man offers to help anytime. Then Jenny arrives at the estate, and the claws come out. She sneers at Jillian's dress, the house, everything. Jillian gives it right back, needling Jenny about her perfume and her attitude. The war for the household has officially begun.

Episode 7

Jenny's cruelty turns physical. She corners Jillian and pushes her into the water, then stands there while Jillian struggles. Jenny taunts her: marrying Nathan doesn't make her one of them. If Jillian drowns, maybe Jenny inherits everything. The offer is twisted—divorce Nathan, and Jenny will have someone pull her out. Otherwise, every day will be a living nightmare.

Jillian refuses. She won't give Jenny the satisfaction. Nathan arrives and pulls her from the water himself, shielding her from his sister. Jenny tries to play innocent, but Nathan isn't buying it. He tells Jillian he's got her.

Episode 8

Jenny spins her story—she pushed me, no, she fell, it was a joke. Nathan doesn't hesitate. He saw everything, and he tells Jenny exactly what she did: she tormented his wife. He demands an apology. Jenny offers a fake one, mocking Jillian's clumsiness, and Nathan forces her to do it properly.

Then he drops the hammer. He terminates his family's contracts with Mormon enterprises and warns anyone who associates with Jenny will be cut from every social circle that matters. Jillian is his wife, the lady of the estate, and anyone who lives there will respect her. Jenny is left sputtering as Nathan walks Jillian out.

Episode 9

Jillian's friend can't believe it: her contract husband is Nathan Mormon, the richest man in town. And the way he looked at her? He clearly cares. Jillian insists it's nothing—if not for this fake marriage, she'd be with her plumber by now. Her friend pushes back: option A, an online crush she's never met; option B, a living, hot, rich billionaire who just saved her life.

Jillian denies feeling anything and asks to be alone. But Jenny is already scheming elsewhere: there's no way Nathan actually cares about that clown girl. Once Jenny gets proof of the fake marriage, Nathan can kiss his inheritance goodbye. The countdown to exposure has begun.

Episode 10

A warning reaches Nathan: Jenny tried to plant cameras in his room, and someone had to remove them. She won't stop there. Nathan realizes he and Jillian are in for a full performance—if Jenny is watching, they have to play the perfect married couple.

Then the homework arrives. Nathan sends Jillian a file and tells her to familiarize herself with it before he's home in ten minutes. Jillian opens it and panics—she refuses, she's leaving, she threatens to call the police. Nathan stays calm: she's not his type, but if she wants that million dollars, she has to play the part. Jenny is watching, and the act has to be convincing.

Want to see how long these two can keep pretending before the truth slips out? Hit play and find out.
