Story Guide
Episode 1
Natalie Vance has been married to Edward Sterling for three years with no heir — because Edward is sterile. Rather than accept it, he forces her to conceive with a man he hired: Sebastian Reed. "If you want me to save your family's company, you'll do exactly as I say," Edward tells her, using the Vance Group as leverage.
Natalie is humiliated but trapped. Sebastian, at least, is gentle. "I'll be gentle, trust me," he tells her. She hates that her body responds to a stranger. "It's so humiliating, yet I can't stop reacting," she admits to herself. How long can this insane marriage last?
Episode 2
Edward lays out the arrangement coldly: $5 million, three months, every Saturday until Natalie is pregnant. When Sebastian asks about a sperm bank or IVF, Edward refuses — no medical records, no paper trail. He needs a natural conception that can be erased.
Sebastian is the perfect tool: young, healthy, an Ivy League dropout drowning in debt after his father's company went bankrupt. Edward sets three conditions — absolute secrecy, no private contact, and no catching feelings. Once Natalie is pregnant, Sebastian takes the money and vanishes. Around him, people whisper about Sebastian's past: the abandoned wife, the suicide. He smiles, but his eyes look completely dead.
Episode 3
It's their scheduled night, and Natalie is flustered. "What are you doing here?" she asks, though she knows exactly why he's come. Sebastian teases her about the pipes being in a bigger hurry than he is.
When she insists she can handle things herself, he doesn't push. "It's not an order, just a suggestion," he says. He notices she won't look at him and offers, "I'll only look when you want me to." Then he catches her red ears. "Are you cold?" She says no, but the crack in her composure is obvious. The line between a paid arrangement and something real is starting to blur.
Episode 4
Natalie calls to say she isn't coming home, and Edward orders Sebastian to leave. But Sebastian pushes back: she's soaked from a pipe leak, and a cold would jeopardize the investment Edward is expecting. Edward sneers at his sharp tongue, and Sebastian answers, "If I'm just a tool, I suggest you don't misuse me."
When Natalie accuses him of protecting her, Sebastian deflects — he just doesn't want Edward blaming him. She calls out how he always lives expecting blame. "I'm probably the only one who actually cares about your well being," he tells her. He won't touch her unless she wants him to, and if Edward finds out, he'll take the blame. Next time, the choice is hers.
Episode 5
Sebastian pushes her to stop being stubborn and start right now — he's watching, moving closer. He reads her body's reactions, noting her red ears and calling out her sensitive spot. "If you feel nothing, then why are you so wet?" he asks, dismantling her denials.
He tells her this isn't a punishment she should bear — it's a way to release everything Edward suffocated onto her. "This is your way of fighting back." Then Edward interrupts, demanding to know what he's not allowed to see. Sebastian doesn't flinch: "What happens next isn't a show for you to watch." The confrontation is no longer just between husband and wife.
Edward bought a tool to produce an heir — but the tool is turning into something he can't control. Watch as Natalie stops being a pawn and starts playing her own game.
