📜Synopsis: 🔥
Alright fantasy fam, this one ain't got no magic, but the second-chance romance hit me right in the feels.

The female lead enters a contract marriage with Vince Grant, a CEO who actually treats her like a person instead of a possession. For once, she's not being manipulated or controlled — she's being protected. But when the contract ends, she's forced back into her abusive family, and a new arranged marriage is already waiting for her.

Then a car accident brings them back together. She's pregnant. Vince realizes what he lost and fights to get her back. The "all-too-late" regret? Absolutely chef's kiss.

**✨ What surprised me most:**
It's a second-chance romance where the male lead is actually worth rooting for. Vince isn't toxic, he's not controlling — he's just a guy who made a mistake and spends the rest of the story trying to fix it. The pregnancy reveal adds real stakes, the car accident brings them back together at exactly the right moment, and the ending doesn't cheat. Kirby Ellwood and Marc Herrmann are fantastic together. If you're into second-chance romances with real emotional weight, this one's for you.

00:06:21What would you think?
00:06:26Give me hope
00:06:28Take this brown sugar candy
00:06:32It'll help with your period cramps
00:06:33What would you do?
00:06:36The third period of the world
00:06:36Are you still著ing together?
00:06:38I've never imagined someone of his stature
00:06:41Would Juliet
00:06:42Would do these little things for me
00:06:43And for the first time
00:06:45I know what it feels like to be loved, but I can't hold on to that anymore
00:06:52Someone like me doesn't deserve a love like that
00:06:58Agnes
00:07:00Do you know where my black cufflinks are?
00:07:01Oh, I'm sorry, sir. Miss Blake is the one who organized all your things this past year. I see
00:07:26I really need to take this
00:07:31Mr. Grant
00:07:32Sorry to bother you
00:07:34My black cufflinks
00:07:36It's in a box on your desk by your watches and glasses. It's in your bottom drawer. Yeah, you'll find
00:07:41all your favorite cufflinks there
00:07:46Thank you
00:08:00Hey, you okay? Yeah, I just I had to go to the bathroom and I bumped into something in the
00:08:07dark
00:08:11Oh
00:08:12Vince, what are you doing? I'm installing a motion sensor light so you don't bump into anything else in the
00:08:19dark
00:08:19Oh
00:08:21Oh
00:08:28Um, I don't know how helpful it's gonna be. I'm still pretty clumsy
00:08:46Did Nora forget her bracelet?
00:08:55I'm so sorry
00:08:58You're mine you're with me you don't answer phone calls you got that
00:09:06Back to business. Yeah, I used to like you, but then you went and married someone else now that you've
00:09:12been uh kicked to the curb
00:09:15Luckily, you still got that figure
00:09:17And your family pretty well off. So I will consider marrying you
00:09:22Mr. Vane I think I sip it
00:09:24I am talking here
00:09:26You should thank your lucky stars that I am even considering you
00:09:31I mean, there's no way your ex-husband was better than me. What did he ditch you?
00:09:36Anyway, find a side chick. No, he was a good man
00:09:40I said never ever mention other men in front of me ever
00:09:46There's a high society event tomorrow
00:09:48He'll come with me
00:09:50Clean yourself up
00:09:56Don't embarrass me
00:10:03I won't be like my mom and I won't give up on life for something as silly as love
00:10:08I've fallen for a gentleman like Vince Grant
00:10:12And anyone else is settling for less
00:10:15And if I'm going to marry I may as well pick someone I'll never love

00:22:32Nora, don't marry him.
00:22:52Ms. Blake, this is the last day of our contract marriage.
00:22:56Thank you for your cooperation this past year.
00:22:58Mr. Grant, our marriage was a mutually beneficial agreement.
00:23:02No feelings, no complications, no drama.
00:23:05This was our deal from the beginning.
00:23:07Why do I feel so much pain?
00:23:14Ms. Blake, I'd need a marriage in order to fulfill my grandfather's last wish.
00:23:19And I need money to help save my mom's company.
00:23:22Very well.
00:23:24As you will see in the terms, this arrangement is strictly confidential.
00:23:27There will be no complications, no feelings, no...
00:23:30No drama.
00:23:31I read it twice, actually. I get it. It's very simple.
00:23:36Deal?
00:23:39Deal.
00:23:46For one year in this platonic marriage, my husband gave me everything.
00:23:51I know that you say I don't owe you anything.
00:23:53But if you ever need my help, anything at all, just ask.
00:23:56I'd do anything for you, Nora.
00:23:58You are...
00:24:01You once were...
00:24:02My wife.
00:24:03And I know that this agreement was confidential.
00:24:06So don't worry, I will take our secret to the grave.
00:24:14Bye.
00:24:26Don't be silly.
00:24:27You knew that he was never going to fall for you.
00:24:34Is this the end of us?
00:24:45You became everything I ever wanted in a man who could ever compare.
00:24:56Then, Vince and I got divorced.
00:25:03Useless.
00:25:04A whole year.
00:25:05And you couldn't even lock him down.
00:25:08He's Vince Grant.
00:25:09One word from him, and our debt is cleared.
00:25:12But you just let him walk away.
00:25:14If only we'd have sent Amber.
00:25:17They would have had babies by now.
00:25:19Honey, I tried.
00:25:20But the old man specifically asked for her.
00:25:24So, where'd you get in the divorce?
00:25:27Nothing.
00:25:28He paid off our debt when we got married.
00:25:31He doesn't owe us anything.
00:25:32You useless idiot.
00:25:34Cassian Bain had a thing for you.
00:25:36He's now some manager with Grant Group subsidiary.
00:25:40If you can't keep Vince Grant, aim lower.
00:25:45I've already set up a meeting.
00:25:46Get your next meal ticket while you're young enough to do anything good for us.
00:25:50But I just got divorced.
00:25:52And this is my house.
00:25:55My word is law.
00:25:56And remember something.
00:25:58Your mother's company is still in my hands.
00:26:02You know what?
00:26:03Why don't you just get your shit?
00:26:06And get out.
00:26:16Know your place and stay outside like a good little watchdog.
00:26:36Oh, I love you guys.
00:26:38Vince, if things were different, you'd be here keeping me safe.
00:26:42Giving me a home.
00:26:56Um, let me...
00:26:57Thanks.
00:26:58Here.
00:27:01For a moment, it felt like the weight of the world was lifted off my feet.
00:27:17Take this brown sugar candy.
00:27:20It'll help with your period cramps.
00:27:26I never imagined someone of his stature would do these little things for me.
00:27:32And for the first time, I know what it feels like to be loved.
00:27:36But I can't hold on to that anymore.
00:27:39Someone like me doesn't deserve a love like that.
00:27:46Agnes.

00:48:43thank you
00:48:56hey
00:48:57you okay?
00:48:58yeah
00:48:58I just
00:49:00I had to go to the bathroom
00:49:01and I bumped into something
00:49:02in the dark
00:49:07Vince?
00:49:08what are you doing?
00:49:10I'm installing a
00:49:11motion sensor light
00:49:13so you don't bump into
00:49:13anything else in the dark
00:49:14oh
00:49:15yeah
00:49:16oh
00:49:22Um, I don't know how helpful it's gonna be. I'm still pretty clumsy.
00:49:40Did Nora forget her bracelet?
00:49:47I'm so sorry.
00:49:51You're mine. You're with me. You don't answer phone calls. You got that?
00:49:59Back to business.
00:50:00Yeah, I used to like you, but then you went and married someone else.
00:50:03Now that you've been, uh, kicked to the curb, luckily you still got that figure.
00:50:08And your family, pretty well off, so I will consider marrying you.
00:50:13Mr. Vane, I think I...
00:50:15Sip it. I am talking here.
00:50:17You should thank your lucky stars that I am even considering you.
00:50:22I mean, there's no way your ex-husband was better than me.
00:50:25What did he ditch you?
00:50:27Anyway, find a side chick?
00:50:29No, he was a good man.
00:50:31I say never, ever mention other men in front of me. Ever.
00:50:36There's a high society event tomorrow.
00:50:38They'll come with me.
00:50:40Clean yourself up.
00:50:45Don't embarrass me.
00:50:52I won't be like my mom.
00:50:54And I won't give up on life for something as silly as love.
00:50:57I've fallen for a gentleman like Vince Grant.
00:51:01And anyone else is settling for less.
00:51:03And if I'm going to marry, I may as well pick someone I'll never love.
00:51:14A treat from the Grant Company?
00:51:15Ah.
00:51:16Exclusive single origin B.
00:51:17Oh.
00:51:18Please enjoy.
00:51:19Grant Group.
00:51:20Yes.
00:51:21The Grants.
00:51:22Ever heard of them?
00:51:23Their word is law in this city.
00:51:27And they own the company I work for now.
00:51:31Mr. Vane.
00:51:33Who is that?
00:51:34I don't believe we've met before.
00:51:36My fiancé.
00:51:38Family's idea.
00:51:39Decent background.
00:51:41Decent fit.
00:51:42Except she's a divorcee.
00:51:45Aw.
00:51:46Mr. Vane.
00:51:47Charity suits you.
00:51:48How sweet of you to include her.
00:51:49Ha ha ha.
00:51:55Grant Estate's first batch of Yerga Chef beans for the year.
00:51:58Your dream come true?
00:52:00I had it flown in on a charter flight.
00:52:02Personal overnight international just for you to sample.
00:52:09Hmm.
00:52:13Clear notes of lemon and orange blossom.
00:52:17And...
00:52:18Wait.
00:52:21Jasmine.
00:52:21Yeah?
00:52:22Blooming underneath.
00:52:32Um.
00:52:34You know we're not really husband and wife.
00:52:36Right?
00:52:37I mean these beans are really hard to source.
00:52:39Especially at this time of year.
00:52:40And you really don't have to go that far.
00:52:42I don't want you to make being Mrs. Grant your job.
00:52:46Now you've dreamed of being the best barista and I want to help make that happen.
00:52:49Even if I only have one year.
00:52:55What are you spacing out for?
00:52:59Everyone, please welcome our guests of honor, Vince Grant, head of the Grant family, and Ms. Claire, who's just returned
00:53:11from her post at the Geneva Institute of Private Wealth.
00:53:22Thanks.
00:53:24Mr. Grant never brings a date to these parties.
00:53:28Oh, she's gotta be the one for him.
00:53:29So beautiful.
00:53:31So elegant.
00:53:35Aren't you supposed to be some kind of well-bred heiress?
00:53:39I mean, look at you.
00:53:40You look like a lost little child.
00:53:46Mr. Grant!
00:53:48Cassian Vane.
00:53:49Sales lead at one of your subsidiaries.
00:53:51Mr. Vane, this is my welcome home party, but you don't seem to be here for me.
00:53:58Of course I am.
00:54:00I was just waiting on my date.
00:54:07Ladies first, right?
00:54:10Nora?
00:54:10Nora Blake, eldest daughter of the Blake family, and my fiancée.
00:54:16Fiancée?
00:54:19I am...
00:54:20No after.
00:54:21This place, it isn't for you.
00:54:26I think I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
00:54:31Women are so fussy.
00:54:35You can shut up now.
00:54:42Ryan, go buy something for me.
00:54:47Damn it.
00:54:48My period just had to start now.
00:54:58What now?
00:54:59You have more trouble?
00:55:00Hey, Cassian, can you please get me?
00:55:02I'm busy.
00:55:13I'm busy.
00:55:25I'm busy.
00:55:29I'm busy.
00:55:30I'm busy.
00:55:31I'm busy.
00:55:32I'm busy.
00:55:36You mean that man just now?
00:55:40I mean, he called you his fiancée.
00:55:42Isn't it true?
00:55:47Look, he works beneath me.
00:55:49Smooth talker, empty words.
00:55:51Doesn't respect you either.
00:55:52You deserve better.
00:55:55We're not married anymore, okay?
00:55:57You don't have to look out for me.
00:55:58You were once my wife.
00:56:01I can't just stand back and watch you ruin your life.
00:56:07Vince?
00:56:10Vince, what are you doing here?
00:56:12Father's waiting for you.
00:56:19Of course.
00:56:20She's already met the parents.
00:56:22Perfect for each other, I don't know what I was thinking.
00:56:28I'm on the way home.
00:56:29Get your own ride.
00:56:44Your boyfriend is very thoughtful.
00:56:50He's not my boyfriend.
00:56:55My husband.
00:57:17You were once my wife.
00:57:18I can't just watch you ruin your life.
00:57:24Laura, don't forget why mom died.
00:57:26Love is a luxury someone like you can't afford.
00:57:34So how'd the party go?
00:57:36Cassian, is he in or out?
00:57:38I think he's a bad person.
00:57:41Listen, I already lost my chance to get in with Vince Grant.
00:57:44Marrying Cassian is the least you can do for me.
00:57:48I already married someone once.
00:57:50For you.
00:57:51For your company.
00:57:55You don't get to tell me no.
00:57:59Understand?
00:58:00Fine.
00:58:02Kill me.
00:58:03Kill me like you killed my mother.
00:58:05The Blitz family helped me.
00:58:06Oh, fuck.
00:58:09Say it again.
00:58:10I dare you.
00:58:16Your mother killed herself.
00:58:20The company is scraping by because of me.
00:58:27I'm Mary Cassian.
00:58:29Boy, I swear you're going to watch it crash and burn.
00:58:49Did you see that, mom?
00:58:51The man you gave your life to.
00:58:53He's trampling over your life's work.
00:58:56He's trying to force me to do what he wants.
00:58:59What?
00:59:01But I promised myself that I would save your company.
00:59:04And I'm going to live.
00:59:05No matter what it takes.
00:59:19You left something.
00:59:21Let's meet when you're free.
00:59:22I cleaned your suit, too.
00:59:24I'll bring it.
00:59:30Mom, what am I going to do?
00:59:32I think I still love my ex-husband.
00:59:41Have you been?
00:59:42You've lost weight.
00:59:44You said you brought money in a jacket?
00:59:47Yeah.
00:59:55God, why are you so on edge?
01:00:03You were never like this before.
01:00:05Yeah.
01:00:06Is someone harassing you?
01:00:08No.
01:00:11Do you really have to marry Cassian?
01:00:13He just has a bit of a short temper.
01:00:17That's it.
01:00:18There's really nothing to worry about.
01:00:19How can I not?
01:00:21He insults you in front of strangers.
01:00:23He doesn't show you basic respect.
01:00:27Are you sure that that's the life that you want?
01:00:29Well, I have to at least try.
01:00:31Vince, you don't understand.
01:00:32The life I want is with you.
01:00:34And I love you too much to be with you.
01:00:37She's already started a new life.
01:00:39If this is what you want, I'll stop bothering you.
01:00:42So you said that I left something behind?
01:00:45If I keep your bracelet, would it be an excuse to see you again?
01:00:51I was mistaken.
01:00:54No, I've transferred 10 million into your account.
01:00:57You can spend it however you'd like.
01:01:01No, no.
01:01:02We were divorced.
01:01:03No, I know.
01:01:04But you kept refusing the alimony that I offered, so
01:01:08I want you to have the freedom to chase your dreams.
01:01:11Look, how's this?
01:01:12One year.
01:01:14If you're well off and you don't need the money, you can return it.
01:01:16But don't turn it down for now.
01:01:18Please?
01:01:23Okay.
01:01:31Well, I should probably get going.
01:01:34Cassidy and he's going to pick me up soon and we're going to go see my dad and talk
01:01:37about the wedding.
01:01:47And, um...
01:01:50Now that we're divorced, I don't really think we should see each other anymore.
01:01:54We are going to play and take no more.ī
01:01:57That...
01:02:13We're
01:02:14back. We're
01:02:14preserve... We're
