The billionaire’s name and reputation were well known throughout the city’s business community. After the death of his first wife, he lived in isolation for a long time, until one day, at a gathering of his friends’ wives, he met a tall, beautiful woman.
From that day on, only one thought occupied his mind — to marry her and erase all the painful memories of the past.
Just a few weeks later, they were married. After the wedding, the billionaire decided to hire a housemaid so that his wife could live peacefully and without worry. He placed an advertisement throughout the city to find the right candidate.

The longer she completed the tasks, the more the atmosphere in the house changed: Isabelle’s coldness began to melt before Naomi’s silent persistence.
Henry, watching the scene, felt a slight unease for the first time: who was this woman capable of enduring the trials that everyone else fled from?
