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!

Anxious Moments

Vin and Clary stood outside the hospital room, the air thick with worry. The fluorescent lights overhead flickered intermittently, casting an eerie glow in the sterile hallway. They exchanged concerned glances, each lost in their own thoughts, while they waited for any news about Annabelle's condition.

As they stood there, a sense of tension hung heavy in the air. Clary fidgeted nervously with the hem of her sweater, her mind racing with all the possible outcomes. Vin remained outwardly calm, though his mind was a whirlwind of concern for Annabelle.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor, drawing their attention. Alex, Annabelle's brother, rushed towards them, his face etched with worry lines. His eyes darted between Vin and Clary, searching for answers.

"What happened to my sister, how is she?" Alex's voice trembled with apprehension as he addressed Vin, his desperation palpable.
