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

Real Friend, Fake Fiancee

I sat on the edge of my bed, my hands trembling in my lap, staring blankly at the floor. Arec's words echoed in my head, repeating over and over again until I couldn't think of anything else. I had always known this marriage wasn't real, that it was just a contract between us. But in that moment, when Arec looked at me with suspicion, as if I'd done something wrong, something inside me cracked.

It wasn't the contract. It wasn't even Joanne, not really. It was the fact that, in that moment, Arec didn't trust me. He had chosen to believe Joanne over me.

The memory of his voice, his tone, gnawed at me. "Are you sure there's nothing going on, Ella? Joanne seemed upset. She's never lied to me before."

Never lied to him before? The words felt like a slap. Did he really think I'd lie to him? That I'd try to push Joanne away for no reason?

I rubbed my temples, trying to soothe the growing headache.
