Plot Summary of The Millionaire's Marriage
"Gabriella has been but a child when she has married wealthy businessman Max Logan. She has been in love with Max the first time she sees him when he has visited her hometown in Belgium. Pretending to be a sophisticated and worldly woman, she seduces Max and is happy when Max has reciprocated the attraction. However she later finds out that she is pregnant and Max immediately marries her to save her reputation. He is furious later when Gabriella tells him that she makes a mistake about her pregnancy and accuses her of trapping him into marriage. Max abandons her and Gabriella is left to make a life of her own. After two years of building a name as an international model, she returns back to Max and their marriage to act as a happy couple for the sake of her ailing father.
Max agrees in playing the part of a devoted and loving husband but the proximity of living with Gabriella stirs up the attraction he always feel for her. Having to spend time with her, he begins to see and love the woman Gabriella has become. Gabriella falls in love again with Max even though she knows that he is only playing a role. When the charade comes to an end, either Max or Gabriella cannot admit their feelings for fear of getting hurt. As they return back to their separate lives, they will risk the chance at love and a shot of a happy marriage.
