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!

The heavy downpour.

Edward walked out of the bustling terminal of the airport, the cacophony of travelers and announcements a distant hum in his mind. His eyes scanned the crowd until he spotted Rodney, who was rushing toward him with a look of urgency. Rodney quickly took the luggage from Edward's hand and led the way to the car parked at the curb.

"How's the situation at the company?" Edward asked as they walked, his voice taut with concern. He had spent the flight imagining the worst-case scenarios and hoped things hadn't spiraled out of control.

"Everything is going well at the company," Rodney replied, his tone cautious. "I think the issue lies with the chairman." He placed the luggage in the trunk before getting into the driver's seat. Edward slid into the passenger seat, closing the door with a sense of finality. Rodney started the car, and they drove off in silence.
