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
Growing Feelings (1)
Arec's POV:
As I drove Ella home from the ultrasound, my hands gripped the steering wheel a little tighter than usual.
The silence between us wasn't uncomfortable, but it was charged, like something unspoken hung in the air.
My mind kept drifting back to that ultrasound room, the moment when the doctor had pointed out the tiny heartbeat flickering on the screen.
Our baby.
The word still felt strange on my tongue, but the weight of it hit me harder than I ever expected.
I stole a glance at the ultrasound picture that I had placed in the passenger seat, the grainy black-and-white image of our child.
"This baby was real... This baby was real." I keep repeating it over and over again in my mind.
And with that reality came emotions I wasn't prepared for, I already know about the baby, but the visit to the ultrasound make it more real.
I wasn't supposed to feel this. Not with Ella at least.
