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!

Edwards fully Recalls his past.

Annabelle's smile faltered for a split second as she tried to deflect the question. "Oh, I just thought Mom and Dad would be here by now," she replied, her voice tinged with a hint of uncertainty. She hoped her response would be enough to divert Alex's attention.

Clary had arrived earlier with her fiancé, her arrival marked by a brief but warm exchange of greetings. Annabelle had also spotted Sherly in the crowd, which meant Vin was likely present, although she had yet to catch a glimpse of him. Despite the bustling activity around her, her focus remained unwaveringly on the one person she had hoped to see tonight—Edwards.

Edwards was the one Annabelle had been looking forward to seeing the most. His presence had been something she had been eagerly anticipating, especially after their last conversation and the emotional weight it carried. It was unusual for him to be late for events, and her anticipation had been tinged with concern.
