He Claimed Me at My Engagement Party
Vivian, the bankrupt heiress, walks in on her fiancé and her best friend plotting to pull her father's ventilator plug at their engagement party. While fleeing, she falls into the arms of her fiancé's uncle—Alistair, the "Tyrant of Wall Street." He offers to save her father in exchange for a binding marriage contract. Vivian fights back: she gets her fiancé drunk and ruins his reputation, and sends her best friend to prison. But she mistakenly believes Alistair is the one who killed her mother, and teams up with foreign investors to short his conglomerate. When the truth comes to light—he is the boy who saved her from a fire ten years ago, his back bearing burns that never healed—the two powerhouses join forces. She takes control of the financial empire in the open, while he secretly deploys phantom funds to counterattack. The scumbag fiancé goes bankrupt, the best friend descends into madness, and the mastermind behind it all is left without access to medical care. At the pinnacle of their victory, he kneels and fastens a necklace around her ankle: "I am willing to be your prisoner." She lifts his chin with a smile: "We have been each other's captives all along."
Story Guide
Episode 1
Vivian's world collapses at her own engagement party. She overhears Julian, the man she trusted, coldly discussing her dying father — and worse, planning to pull the ventilator plug the moment she signs over the family shares. He even talks about sending her to a psych ward to rot. When Julian and her best friend realize she's recording them, the mask drops completely. Vivian runs for her life, barefoot and with nothing but her phone, while Julian orders his people to find her. The episode ends on a desperate chase through a locked-down building, with Vivian cornered and terrified.
Episode 2
The hunt is on. Julian's people lock down the floor, determined that not a single fly gets out, while Vivian scrambles to hide and keep her phone — her only leverage. Cornered and out of options, she begs not to be handed over, offering anything she has to buy her escape. Then a stranger steps in: a man who calmly shields her and tells her to stay quiet if she wants to live. The episode closes on the lockdown tightening and Vivian realizing she's just placed her fate in a powerful stranger's hands.
Episode 3
Morning brings a brutal twist. The city's last private hospital has been fully acquired overnight by AX, and Julian is suddenly the new director — which means Vivian's father's ventilator is now in his hands. He taunts her as his "ex-fiancée," then dangles an invitation to a family dinner with a threat: arrive one minute late and he pulls the plug himself. Vivian has no choice but to show up. The episode ends with her walking into a dinner she knows is a trap, and Julian promising a "special gift" that's clearly meant to humiliate her.
Episode 4
At the family dinner, the trap snaps shut. Julian presents Vivian as a "little welcome gift" to his uncle Alistair — the Wall Street tyrant behind the takeover. He orders her to crawl over and please the man like a pet, warning her to swallow whatever happens if she wants her father to live. Vivian is stripped of every shred of dignity in front of the family. Then Alistair arrives, and recognition flickers: he's the man from the elevator. The episode ends on that charged moment, with Vivian realizing the stranger who saved her is the same man now holding her father's life.
Episode 5
Alistair puts Vivian on the spot: kneel, beg, and ask him for help — or her father's plug gets pulled. Julian pushes her to grovel, threatening the hospital if she refuses. But when Alistair sees her cornered, he makes a shocking declaration: from this second on, she's his private secretary — her time, her body, her life. It's a claim of ownership that stuns the room and infuriates Julian. The episode ends with Vivian trapped between two ruthless men, neither of whom sees her as anything but a pawn — and her father still hanging by a thread.
Episode 6
Julian unveils a plan to strip Vivian's family hospital for fast cash — dumping equipment at fire-sale prices and gutting the ICU, dismissing the lives of sick patients as nothing against AX's bottom line. Vivian is horrified; her father's life's work is being dismantled in front of her. Alistair, though, isn't done — he hints he might keep the medical team around, because they could be "useful." The power shifts again as Alistair stakes his claim over the city's medical empire, warning that anyone who touches her father's ventilator answers to him. The episode ends with Vivian squarely in his grip.
Episode 7
Vivian breaks down, convinced she's lost everything — until Alistair reveals he's already secured signatures from the world's top specialists, arranged the moment she crashed into him. Her father's life has been on his tab all along. But businessmen don't lose money: he names his price. Become his contract wife, and every part of her belongs to him. With no other option, Vivian signs. Meanwhile, Julian and his ally scheme in the background, plotting to drug Alistair and blackmail him out of a ten-billion-dollar deal. The episode ends with the trap being set — and Vivian about to be pulled into it.
Episode 8
Julian corners Vivian with a new demand: slip a drug into Alistair's drink so Julian can record him losing control and use it as blackmail. Vivian is horrified — if Alistair wakes and realizes what happened, he'll have her killed. But Julian holds her father's life over her head, and she has no choice. She agrees, promising herself it's for her father. The episode closes on her resolve hardening into something darker: she's selling her soul to the devil to keep her dad alive, and Julian reminds her to be a good little pawn. The tension is unbearable as she prepares to betray the one man who can save her father.
Episode 9
Julian pressures Vivian to go through with the drugging, warning her not to grow a conscience at the wrong moment — one phone call and the plug gets pulled. Then Alistair catches her mid-scheme and confronts her, but instead of punishing her, he dresses her up: she's his contract wife now, and he won't let his "property" walk out in rags. At the dinner, Alistair publicly announces AX's full takeover of Vivian's family medical empire and offers her his arm. The episode ends on that chilling image — Vivian playing along to keep her father alive, while the real game is only beginning.
