Chapter 1The Meeting

At the hotel lobby...

There she was sitting in the hotel lobby focused on her laptop, hands moving fast as if her laptop would be taken from her any moment from now. Lost in her world. She paused, took a sip from the glass of wine on the table close to her and put it back, continued with her typing.

Noah: told you it's worth the money

Sebastian: first time you ain't wrong. Well don't get your hopes high, we haven't been inside yet

Noah: come on man, it's a five-star hotel, one of the best as that

Sebastian: Five Star hotel or not, am just here to relax and chill, working lately is tense

Noah: speaking about chilling, take a look at the chick over there... hell she's fine

Sebastian: we haven't got room keys yet and here you are thinking about playing around

Noah: what's vacation about? Having fun, relaxing, chilling and playing around. That's what vacation is all about dude

Sebastian: I don't think she's here to play around like you. Looking she's busy

Noah: come on Seb, I know how these things work, everyone knows I mean except you. She's a pimp

Sebastian: how can you tell

Noah: they always come to different places filled with rich people, hotels, bars, and the airport, sit there pretending to be busy, drinking expensive wine with their last money hoping to make more later in the day, just waiting for their target

Sebastian: meaning she a hooker

Noah: finally get the memo, yes

Sebastian: she's too beautiful for that

Noah: they are all too beautiful for that, thinking am lying watch

Sebastian: what you going to do

Noah: staring at her till we make eye contact

Noah kept staring at the girl sitting, working on her laptop, she raised her head, and took the glass of wine on the table about to drink, when she noticed someone gazing at her, she looked in the direction to see two handsome guys staring at her. One of them waved at her and then she raised her wine glass to greet her back and back to her laptop.

Noah: told you man, not every beautiful flower smells good

Sebastian: hm ( he looks over at the receptionist ) Hey you good, we've been here over 10 minutes we need keys to our room. We made a reservation under Mr Walter

Receptionist: Just a moment Sir

Noah touch Sebastian's hands to signal him to take a look

Sebastian: what

Noah: Look target acquired, she's coming over

He turned to look at her, she closed her laptop, put it in her bag, stood up and walked over. She got to where they were standing at the receptionist's deck.

Sofia: Hi ( she greeted the two men before turning to the receptionist )

Receptionist: Ma your room is ready, I called for your 20mins ago but you were engrossed in your work and I didn't want to disturb you

Sofia: it's okay, can I get the key now

Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

Husband With Benefits

Nora is shattered a month before her wedding when she uncovers her fiancé's deceitful affair. As she manages this betrayal, she discovers a deep ploy to hinder her from claiming her rightful inheritance. Devastated but determined, Nora takes a daring step to regain control of her life. Enter Demetri 'The Demon' to those who know him, a formidable man barely known to her, who offers her protection and support in return for a contract marriage to satisfy him. In a twist of fate, Nora marries Demetri to claim her inheritance and fight those who plotted against her. But as she battles her own family and Demetri's many rivals, will she be able to keep from falling for the man known to crush people beneath his booted heel. Excerpt: She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him. Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife." She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions." Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them. "Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb." "Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her? "It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued. "Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning? Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality. But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."
