Malik Rahim keeps in the shadows and likes to keep his private life private. If he could stay out of the public's eye forever, he would. There's nothing he hates more than people and socializing.
What happens when the head of the Cartel wants to run for Governor? He'll need all the backup and support he can get.
The Rahim Clan offers their support, but there's a catch, of course, a marriage, something binding.
The two can barely stand each other in private but are oh so very much in love in public. Instead of fighting over every little thing, they agree on an arrangement.
Married with benefits, but with one rule. No falling in love.
Easy right?
