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!

Annabelle and Edward’s reconciliation.

Annabelle's heart seemed to stop for a moment. She glanced over at Edwards, her emotions swirling with pain, love and confusion. She had dreamed of this moment for so long, yet now that it was happening, it felt surreal. She looked down at Karen, her heart softening at the pure joy on his face, a face that bore so much of Edwards' features.

Alex, watching the interaction unfold, felt a lump rise in his throat. As much as he resented Edwards, he couldn't deny the emotion in the man's eyes, the way he looked at Karen as if he were the most precious thing in the world. Alex's protective instincts flared, but at the same time, he couldn't bring himself to interrupt the moment. His sister's happiness had always been his priority, and as much as he hated to admit it, Edwards was a part of that happiness.
