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!

New assistant

"I know who you are," Lily replied confidently. She then handed Annabelle a file. "I scheduled a meeting on your behalf in twenty minutes. I figured it would be a good way for you to meet and familiarize yourself with the other staff members."

Annabelle nodded in agreement and thanked Lily for her thoughtfulness. She appreciated the proactive approach and the consideration that Lily had shown. "That's very thoughtful of you, Lily. Thank you," Annabelle said, her appreciation evident in her voice.

With that, Lily turned around and left the office. Annabelle took a seat behind her desk and opened the file that Lily had handed her. Inside were details about the meeting, along with profiles of the department staff members. Annabelle spent the next few minutes going through the information, familiarizing herself with the names and roles of her new team.
