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!

Misunderstanding unveiled

The couple had spent the weekend in their secret apartment together, a place where they could be themselves away from the prying eyes of their families. Edwards, perceptive as always, noticed the changes in Lydia's demeanor and couldn't help but inquire.

"I thought you were on a call? What's the matter?" Edwards asked, reaching out to touch her face gently as he settled on the sofa.

Lydia hesitated, torn between the desire to keep the news of her impending departure to herself and the guilt of hiding it from the man she loved. She wanted this weekend to be special, free from the burden of impending separation.

However, as Edwards looked at her with concern and affection, Lydia knew she couldn't keep the secret muchlonger. With a heavy heart, she made up her mind to tell him on the phone after their weekend,she couldn't look him in the face to tell him.
