Our Accidental Forever
I never expected my life to change so drastically. One moment, I was a woman with dreams, deeply in love with a man I thought I’d spend my life with. The next, I was betrayed and heartbroken, walking in on him cheating without a hint of remorse. That night, overwhelmed with pain and too much alcohol, I made a reckless decision, a one-night stand with a stranger who, to my shock, turned out to be my new boss. Arec, the vice president of Denco Groups, was desperate. To secure his future as CEO, he needed a wife, and in a twist of fate, he offered me a contract marriage. It sounded absurd, but his desperation mirrored my own need to escape the wreckage of my life. It was supposed to be simple: no emotions, no strings attached. A business arrangement, nothing more. I thought I could handle it, that I could keep my heart out of it. I was wrong. What started as a deal quickly spiraled into something far more complicated. As our fake marriage blurred into real feelings, the world around us began to close in. Disapproving family, old enemies, buried secrets, scheming rivals, and even an attempt on my life threatened to tear us apart. This is my story, a journey of heartbreak, unexpected love, and a fight to protect what we built together. In a world filled with lies and deceit, can a marriage born out of necessity become something real? --- Warning: This book contains mature themes. Join my Discord server: https://discord.gg/NJJKETf4
A Close Call
Ella's POV:
The night was quiet, too quiet for my liking. I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, my thoughts scattered like pieces of a puzzle that wouldn't fit together. Who was trying to kill me? The idea sounded absurd when I said it in my head, but it was all too real.
Could it be Klaus? My ex was ruthless, but would he really go this far? Would he try to take my life? I didn't want to believe it, but the question gnawed at me like a persistent ache. Arec had mentioned Klaus might be a suspect, and part of me wanted to believe it. After all, Klaus had done everything he could to destroy me before, but murder? That felt like an entirely different beast.
I sighed, feeling the weight of the day pressing down on me. I was exhausted, but sleep was evasive. The adrenaline still coursed through me from the hospital visit, from seeing Kate hooked up to those machines, knowing it could have been me. It should have been me.
