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!

I don’t like her: sherly said

As the voices grew louder downstairs, Annabelle couldn't help but feel a sense of unease washing over her. She had been in her bedroom, quietly going about her own business when she heard the commotion. Curiosity got the better of her, and she decided to go down to the living room to discover what was going on.

As she approached the living room, the voices became clearer, and the distinct sound of her husband, Edwards, caught her attention. She could hear him conversing with someone else, and there was a certain level of excitement in his voice. Annabelle's curiosity grew, and she quickened her pace to see what was happening.

As she entered the living room, Annabelle's eyes fell upon Edwards, who was standing close to a lady, clearly engaged in a deep conversation. They seemed comfortable in each other's presence, and Annabelle could sense a certain familiarity between them. The lady stood with luggage beside her, indicating that she had just arrived.
