Runaway Bride, Billionaire's Catch

Episode 1

Kate Smith is done being a business deal. On her wedding day, she slips away from the altar rather than marry Frank Reed, the cold-blooded heir her family chose for her. "No way I'm marrying that cold blooded freak," she insists — she'll choose her own husband. Meanwhile, Frank's people realize the bride has vanished, and the search begins. Cornered and desperate, Kate grabs the nearest stranger and begs for help getting out. But the man she's just dragged into her escape may be far more connected to this wedding than she realizes.

Episode 2

Still on the run, Kate pours out her plan to the stranger: her family is marrying her off to a total stranger, the CEO of the Ashborn group. She's heard rumors about Mr. Reed and wants no part of a life traded away for money. Her solution is wild — if she's already married, her family can't force her into anything. "I'll marry you," she declares. The man agrees, and they race to make it official. What Kate doesn't know is exactly who just said "I do" beside her.

Episode 3

Reality starts to itch. Kate presses her new husband about his name — Frank Reed — and whether he's tied to the Ashborn group. He brushes it off, claiming the fancy car belongs to his boss and that he's just a driver, broke like her. He even admits he was supposed to marry today too, until his own bride ran off. Sympathy turns into a deal: he'll play along and help her with her parents, and she'll return the favor at his family's wedding. Neither realizes how tangled this bargain already is.

Episode 4

Frank brings Kate home to meet his parents, Stephen and Carrie, introducing her simply as his wife. The welcome is warm — until Stephen pulls Frank aside. They showed up at his wedding only to hear the bride bolted, so who is this woman? Frank admits she ran away, but says he found her, promising to explain later. Carrie, meanwhile, showers Kate with a lavish wedding gift, even bringing out the family heirloom. Kate is charmed and overwhelmed, with no idea she's standing inside the household of the very man she fled.

Episode 5

Kate tries to refuse Carrie's expensive gift, but the family insists — she's one of them now. Frank quietly warns Stephen that Kate has no idea he's the CEO of the Ashborn group, the "cold-blooded freak" she ran from. If she finds out, everything collapses, so the truth has to stay buried for now. Then Stephen mentions he has a gift waiting for her too — up in the wedding suite. Kate smiles, unaware that this "gift" is a trap designed to push her and Frank together.

Episode 6

The wedding suite turns out to be a setup: Stephen and Carrie have locked the newlyweds inside, hoping to nudge them toward giving them a grandchild. Frank's parents are clearly enthusiastic about this match, and Kate realizes she's been played. She starts to undress, joking about the wedding night, while Frank protests — he thought this was all just an act. But with his parents practically watching through the window, the line between performance and real feelings gets dangerously blurry.

Episode 7

A brief, quiet beat between Kate and Frank inside the locked suite. The forced closeness of the wedding night settles over them, and the act they agreed to keep up starts to feel less like acting. Neither says much about what it means.

Episode 8

The morning after, apologies and awkwardness fill the room. Kate checks that last night was "just acting," and Frank offers to take the floor so she can have the bed. He teases that she's his wife now, so looking is fair game, then heads off to freshen up. Left alone, Kate spirals — this is all too much, and she can't tell anymore what's real between them. The pretend marriage is starting to feel like something neither of them planned for.

Episode 9

Frank heads into work, telling Kate she can stay on the farm with his parents. She settles in easily, helping around the farm — it reminds her of her grandmother's. Then her past catches up: her family tracks her down, furious. They accuse her of costing them a fortune by canceling the wedding and demand she apologize to Mr. Reed and set a new date. Kate refuses flatly, telling them to send her sister Rebecca instead. "I'm married to the owner of this farm," she declares — a claim she doesn't know is truer than she thinks.

Episode 10

Kate's family is stunned — she married someone else? They threaten her, but Stephen steps in to protect his daughter-in-law, and the confrontation turns violent. Carrie calls Frank in a panic: they're trying to take Kate and they're hurting his father. Frank drops everything and races home, ready for a fight. The standoff escalates as threats fly and someone orders the two of them grabbed. Frank is walking straight into the mess — and the truth about who he really is can't stay hidden much longer.

Kate ran from one wedding and stumbled into a husband she can't quite figure out — watch how far this runaway bride's accidental marriage goes.
