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!

The morning after

Edward walked into the room with a small glass bowl, the aroma of the hangover soup wafting through the air. He walked up to Annabelle, who was sitting on the edge of her bed, her face bearing the telltale signs of a rough night. With a gentle smile, he handed over the bowl containing the warm, comforting soup.

"How are you feeling now?" he asked, genuine concern in his eyes.

Annabelle accepted the soup with gratitude and sat back on the bed. Her voice was hoarse as she responded, "I woke up with a terrible headache." She whispered her thanks before carefully scooping up a spoonful of the steaming liquid. "You made this?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

Edward nodded, a hint of pride in his voice. "Yes, I thought it might help with the hangover."
