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.

The Morning After

Nicholas woke in the middle of the night, a dull ache throbbing in his bladder. Feeling the urge to use the bathroom, he carefully rose from the couch, his body stiff and sore from the awkward sleeping position.

The suite was silent, save for the gentle rustling of the curtains as the night breeze stirred them.

As he stood, he glanced over at the bed where Kimberly lay, her breathing steady and rhythmic in sleep.

She had kicked off the duvet in her sleep, leaving her arms exposed to the cool air. Nicholas frowned, noting the slight shiver that ran through her body.

He approached the bed quietly, his heart softening as he watched her. Gently, he lifted the duvet and draped it over her, tucking it around her shoulders to keep her warm.

Kimberly stirred slightly, murmuring something incoherent, and Nicholas froze. When she settled back into deeper sleep, he allowed himself a small smile.
