Married To Mr. Vice

Kimberly Campbell, a beautiful and goal driven financial analyst, knew exactly what she wanted for herself, and a baby didn't make the list. It was a huge stray from the big plans, and the commitment a baby required, she was certain she could never afford. With no one to blame, there was only one victim — the stupid glasses of Vodka that had led her into the arms of a man, whose first name was all she knew. Nicholas. Nicholas Vice loved nothing more than being in charge of his own life and decisions. And he was more proud of the casual and mutually-beneficial relationships with little to no commitments he enjoyed. But disappointment came in shocking waves when his father gave an ultimatum to marry his favorite and soon-to-be promoted staff, or risk losing his inheritance. Vexed and certain there was a ploy somewhere, Nicholas vowed to expose the gold digger who was trying to ruin his life. With determination in his heart, he took up his temp role at the head branch. But the unexpected twist occurs when Nicholas discovers that not only was his 'supposed bride' his one-night stand, she was also pregnant. Taking advantage of 'the' situation, he proposed a deal, the only one he believed would get him out of his father's ultimatum — a contract marriage. Marriage for a year in exchange for her pride and reputation.

Confrontation

Nicholas returned from Kimberly's office, a smile lighting up his face after delivering her lunch. He still couldn't believe he has done that.

His steps were light as he made his way down the corridor, feeling a warmth in his chest from their brief but pleasant interaction. Her surprise upon seeing he had brought her lunch etched in his memory.

It was strange how he was enjoying his recent interactions with her. Since their date, she seemed more relaxed, more receptive towards him, and he'd say less consumed by worries. And he dared say that because the stiffness and the taut lines were suddenly absent.

However, as he stepped into his office, his tranquility was abruptly shattered. Paul stormed in, his face contorted with anger.

"Paul? What can I do for you?" Nicholas asked, surprised.

"What the hell do you think you're doing with Kimberly?" Paul demanded, his voice a harsh whisper that nonetheless carried the weight of his fury.
