Enemies pretend to wed for a grandfather's wish and an inheritance clause, then real feelings derail the act.
A ticking clock forces two lifelong antagonists into a counterfeit ceremony: she races her grandfather's final weeks, he battles a clause that seizes his fortune if he remains single. They drill vows, coordinate outfits, and perform tenderness for a house full of watchful relatives. The manufactured intimacy strips away years of barbed history, replacing insults with late-night confessions and accidental touches that carry unfamiliar weight. What began as a mutually convenient deception becomes a space where the only thing they cannot simulate is the growing certainty that the performance has stopped being an act.
