The Billionaire's Second Wife

Episode 1

Ella's home life is a trap closing in fast. Her stepmother Diana and stepsister Vicky push her toward marriage to Andrew — a wealthy man described as "70 years old and disgusting." When Ella protests, Vicky mocks her, boasting that she's already engaged to someone better.

The cruelty cuts deeper when Diana plays the martyr, asking how Ella could be so ungrateful after everything she did "since your mother passed away." Cornered, Ella is told she has a choice: marry Andrew or get out. She walks, telling the man she once called father he's not her father anymore.

Episode 2

Justin is still living in the shadow of his late wife, Andrew. Rachel, his sister-in-law, corners him with an old memory — how he always made time for them when Andrew was around — and pushes him to try loving her instead. His answer lands like a slap: she'll never be Andrew.

Later, a wounded Justin is at a bar, having played guitar despite a doctor's warning that the wound on his hand will reopen. Then he sees a face and freezes, calling out Andrew's name. The resemblance is no accident, and it's about to pull both of them into something neither planned.

Episode 3

Ella tries to hand over money after knocking someone down, but it's waved off with contempt — "What do you take me for?" Justin's family, meanwhile, is done waiting. They remind him Andrew has been gone two years and press him to marry Rachel, since the Nicholas family owns more than thirty percent of their shares. Justin refuses to marry for business. He'll only marry who he loves.

Then, drunk and raw, he turns to Ella with an offer that changes everything: a contract marriage. Be his wife, help him with something, and anything she wants will be taken care of. She's homeless. He's desperate. The deal hangs in the air.

Episode 4

The arrangement moves forward, though Ella keeps her guard up — she hasn't actually agreed to anything yet. Justin brings her home to meet the person at the center of it all: his son, Bobby.

The boy is wary, and the question of his mother hangs heavy. Justin explains she died two years ago. Ella kneels down and introduces herself gently: "Hi, Bobby. I'm Ella." Bobby asks the question that says everything — is she the mom his dad brought for him? Whatever this marriage is on paper, a child is already hoping for more.

Episode 5

Justin lays out Bobby's condition plainly: he's a premature baby with an autoimmune deficiency, prone to illness. He tells Ella she doesn't have to worry, because taking care of Bobby isn't in her contract. She says she understands, but she doesn't stay distant for long.

She notices things he'd rather ignore — kids with respiratory issues shouldn't be in certain environments — and gently suggests a change of clothes and comfortable pajamas. When Justin imagines their future child, imagining lullabies and bedtime, Ella tells him he'll have to start learning lullabies. Bobby eagerly offers to show her his room.

Episode 6

The evening turns tender, then complicated. After time with Bobby, the boy clings to the fun, not wanting the night to end, and Ella admits she likes playing with him too. But when she says she should head home to bed, the moment shifts.

Justin's grief surfaces in a way Ella can't ignore — he murmurs, "Andrew, I'm so glad you're my wife." It's the late wife's name, not hers. Ella is standing right there, wearing a ring, hearing exactly where his heart still lives. The contract is signed. The feelings are not.

Watch how this marriage of convenience unravels — and whether Ella can ever become more than a stand-in.
