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!

Clary warns Sherly over Annabelle

Sherly smiled at Edwards, setting her glass down as she stood up. "I need to use the restroom real quick. I'll be right back," she said, her voice slightly louder to be heard over the booming music. Edwards nodded, watching as she weaved her way through the crowded club.

Sherly moved quickly, her steps light as she navigated the throngs of people lost in their own worlds of music and conversation. The alcohol was starting to hit her, and as it often did, it brought on the urgent need to relieve herself. She pushed open the door to the restroom, grateful to find an empty stall. She quickly took care of her business, feeling a sense of relief wash over her as she finished and stepped out to wash her hands.
