Story
Vivian's engagement falls apart when her fiancé is unfaithful, so she rushes into marriage with a silver fox who turns out to be her ex's dad. The deal lasts two weeks: Quentin gets a CEO title in return, and Vivian gets enough cash to treat her ailing father. Her ex keeps belittling her while his father keeps coming to her rescue, and the fake marriage starts to blur real lines.
