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!

Vin and Annabelle’s fight.

The coldness of his gaze was unmistakable, and Sherly could feel the chill as she sat there, adjusting her dress as though it would provide some shield from his disapproval. She could sense his inner turmoil, the barrage of thoughts racing through his mind as he maintained his silence. It was disheartening to see him this way, especially when she remembered how warm and sweet he used to be. There was a time when Vin's smile could light up a room, and his words could soothe any worry she had. Now, that warmth was replaced with a distant, icy demeanor that felt almost impenetrable.

"You look good," Sherly said, her voice breaking the silence once more as she attempted to reach across the chasm that had grown between them. She knew it wasn't much, but it was an effort to bridge the gap, to remind him of the familiarity they once shared.
