Layla, a student from a low-income family at New City University, sells her virginity to pay for her brother’s heart surgery. She meets Elias, the arrogant and germophobic CEO of Thorne Group, and takes a maid job at his manor. Elias grows drawn to her, and she signs a contract to become his woman for money. His nominal fiancée, Seraphina, repeatedly bullies her. Meanwhile, her admirer Silas—seemingly kind but psychologically twisted—collaborates with the Voss family to launder money and kidnaps her. Elias risks his life to confront them, sustaining injuries but rescuing her. Silas is ultimately arrested, and after surviving a lifethreatening ordeal, Layla and Elias confess their love.
