Taken by his terms

Nyssa Hale, a warm-hearted young woman, struggles to survive after losing her parents in a car accident. She takes care of her little sister, Lily, who fell seriously ill from the shock of their parents’ death. With the hospital bills rising and no stable income, Nyssa becomes desperate. On the other side is Ethan Collins,a wealthy but emotionally cold billionaire who lost his parents in a fire at age six. He was raised by his strict but loving grandfather, who pressures him to get married and have an heir — or risk losing his inheritance to his cousin, Landon, who is also his sworn enemy. Nyssa and Ethan meet in the worst way: she accidentally insults him at the hospital, not knowing he’s the new CEO of the company she works and also the chairman's grandson. Furious, Ethan fires her — then later offers her a marriage contract to lessen his grandfather's worries and to secure his position . Nyssa refuses at first, but Lily’s worsening condition forces her to accept. Their rushed marriage draws public attention, good and bad. In Ethan’s mansion, Nyssa faces challenges, including Ethan’s jealous ex, Ava, who attacks her. Despite his coldness, Ethan shows unexpected care when Nyssa gets hurt, revealing cracks in his icy exterior. As they live together, secrets, pressure from the media, Landon’s schemes, and buried trauma pull them closer and tear them apart. What began as a contract slowly becomes something more — something neither of them planned for.
