Our Accidental Forever
I never expected my life to change so drastically. One moment, I was a woman with dreams, deeply in love with a man I thought I’d spend my life with. The next, I was betrayed and heartbroken, walking in on him cheating without a hint of remorse. That night, overwhelmed with pain and too much alcohol, I made a reckless decision, a one-night stand with a stranger who, to my shock, turned out to be my new boss. Arec, the vice president of Denco Groups, was desperate. To secure his future as CEO, he needed a wife, and in a twist of fate, he offered me a contract marriage. It sounded absurd, but his desperation mirrored my own need to escape the wreckage of my life. It was supposed to be simple: no emotions, no strings attached. A business arrangement, nothing more. I thought I could handle it, that I could keep my heart out of it. I was wrong. What started as a deal quickly spiraled into something far more complicated. As our fake marriage blurred into real feelings, the world around us began to close in. Disapproving family, old enemies, buried secrets, scheming rivals, and even an attempt on my life threatened to tear us apart. This is my story, a journey of heartbreak, unexpected love, and a fight to protect what we built together. In a world filled with lies and deceit, can a marriage born out of necessity become something real? --- Warning: This book contains mature themes. Join my Discord server: https://discord.gg/NJJKETf4
Complicated Goodbye
As I walked out of the penthouse, shutting the door gently behind me, I felt like I'd stepped into a completely different world. The kiss had been nothing, really, just a simple, friendly gesture.
At least, that's what I'd been telling myself from the moment I left her side. But as soon as I crossed into the hallway, away from Ella's presence, I knew there was no lying to myself.
That kiss wasn't just a gesture. The warmth of her cheek had stayed with me, like an imprint that hadn't faded, and now my mind was a mess.
My pulse was racing in a way that it hadn't in years. I pressed the elevator button, fidgeting with my hands, still feeling the touch of her skin, the way she'd looked at me, surprised, maybe even a little breathless.
Her gaze had matched the confusion I felt in my own chest. I'd wanted to support her, to be a solid presence after everything she'd been through. So why did it feel like I'd crossed a line? One I hadn't even realized was there?
