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
A Shadow Looming
Ella's POV:
I've always prided myself on being independent, capable of handling anything life throws my way.
But lately, something has shifted.
Something is wrong. At first, I told myself I was imagining it, that the subtle changes in my surroundings were a result of my heightened emotions. After all, being pregnant with Arec's child, and juggling the confusion of what we actually are, it's a lot for anyone.
But now, as I step outside my apartment building, heading down the sidewalk towards Kate's house, I feel it again, that same unsettling sensation. It's like someone's watching me, following me. I glance over my shoulder for the hundredth time, but there's nothing. Just empty streets, flickering streetlights, and the soft hum of traffic in the distance.
