For 4 years, Isla Chen played the perfect contract wife to dying billionaire tech tycoon Matthias "Matt" Blackwell. The media believed in their fairytale marriage. But behind closed doors, they were strangers bound by secrets.
The contract was clear: four years of marriage, a hefty payout, and a quiet divorce once Matt's image was stabilized post-scandal.
But a week before the divorce, Matt is diagnosed with a rare degenerative memory disease. With only fragments of time left, he begs Isla for one final wish—
"Take me to the seaside town where I grew up. Let's pretend—for one week—that we were real."
Isla agrees. What begins as an act of mercy soon morphs into something devastatingly intimate. Matt starts remembering things he shouldn't—things about her past she's spent years running from.
A past she doesn't even fully remember herself.
When Matt vanishes at the end of their seaside trip, presumed dead, Isla is left with nothing but a single photograph he left behind—of her as a child, in the arms of a woman she's never met.
Now, the woman who faked a marriage must uncover a truth that might reveal she was the one being played all along.
But someone else is watching—and they don't want Isla to remember who she really is
