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
Late Night Confession
I nodded, words failing me, and watched as he disappear down the hall, the warmth of his gaze and the brief touch of his hand lingered like an aftertaste I couldn't shake off.
It was as if the night had imprinted itself on my heart, leaving me caught in the strange space between the familiar and the unknown. I didn't know what to feel, but I knew one thing: I needed to talk to Kate.
I made my way to the couch, sinking into its plush cushions as I pulled out my phone.
I'd meant to call her before the date, but Joanne's unexpected invitation had derailed me. Now, though, I couldn't wait to tell Kate everything. She'd know what to make of this. Or at the very least, she'd have a few jokes to lighten my muddled mind.
The phone rang twice before Kate picked up, her voice bright and warm. "Ella! Finally! I was beginning to think you'd fallen off the edge of the earth. How's our baby and Mr. Tall, Rich, and Mysterious?"
