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!

Edwards first date in years

Edwards looked at his wristwatch for the fifth time, feeling the weight of each passing minute. The elegant timepiece reflected the dimmed lights of the restaurant's upper floor, which he had reserved for the evening. It was past 7 PM, and a growing knot of anxiety tightened in his chest. The evening meant more to him than just a dinner,it was his first date in years, and it was with Annabelle.

He had carefully planned every detail, from the venue to the timing, hoping everything would be perfect. The restaurant was known for its refined ambiance and exquisite cuisine. The soft murmur of conversations and the distant clinking of cutlery provided a soothing background, but it did little to calm Edwards' nerves. He had selected a table by the window, offering a stunning view of the city skyline as the setting sun bathed the buildings in a golden glow, now fading into the deep blues of twilight.
