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
An Encounter with the Past (1)
Ella's POV:
The elevator doors slid open with a quiet ding, and I stepped into the familiar lobby of Denco Group's headquarters. It was one of those mornings where I felt a little lighter, a bit more optimistic about the day ahead.
Perhaps it was the quiet satisfaction of knowing I had done well on the last project, or maybe it was just the pleasant conversation I had with Karen on the way up. She was one of the few people who had been kind when I first started here, showing me around, making sure I didn't get lost in this maze of corporate power.
"Ella, how are you managing as the assistant to the Vice President?" Karen had asked with a knowing smile as we shared the elevator ride to the 27th floor.
I shrugged lightly, a small smile playing on my lips. "It's a lot of work, but I'm managing. Mr. Weston has high expectations, but I'm learning a lot."
