The billionaire and his contract wife

Mr. Edwards Quinn stormed into his office, seething after a heated argument with his father, who had issued an ultimatum: marry within a month, or lose his position as CEO. Known for his carefree lifestyle and reputation as a playboy, Quinn was hardly ready to settle down. However, his career and status were on the line, so he decided to take drastic measures—even if that meant faking a marriage. After being turned down by several of his ex-girlfriends, Quinn turned to his last option: his assistant, Annabelle. She had been loyal, professional, and entirely unassuming—a perfect candidate to act as his “wife.” Without giving her a chance to process, he summoned her and threw a document across his desk, demanding she sign it. What he didn’t realize was that Annabelle had a hidden life and a past he knew nothing about. Annabelle picked up the contract and saw the bold title: Marriage Contract. Shocked and confused, she looked up at her boss. She had secretly harbored feelings for Quinn but had never expected something like this. She hesitated, yet couldn’t ignore the opportunity to be close to him, even if it was under false pretenses. Taking a deep breath, she signed the document, setting her sights on making him fall for her during their time together. Little did she know she was stepping into a dangerous game with a man known for his cold heart and disregard for others’ feelings. Can Annabelle’s warmth melt Quinn’s icy exterior? Will her secret identity unravel as she navigates this web of deception? And what will happen when the line between pretense and reality begins to blur? Dive into this thrilling story to find out!

Annabelle forgives sherly.

Annabelle looked down at Sherly, her expression unreadable. The little boy clung to Vin's hand, his innocent eyes watching the scene unfold with quiet curiosity. The tension hung heavy in the air, thick with unresolved pain and the echoes of past wrongs.

For a long moment, Annabelle said nothing, her eyes scanning Sherly's face as if searching for something. The anger that had initially flashed in her eyes slowly ebbed, replaced by a weary, resigned sadness. She had been hurt deeply, and those wounds were not easily healed. But seeing Sherly now, broken and remorseful, something inside her softened.

"You can't just apologize and expect everything to be okay," Annabelle finally said, her voice steady but soft. "What you did, what Lydia did, it can't be undone. The damage was real, and I've had to rebuild my life from the ground up because of it."
