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
Altering The Contract (2)
Arec's POV:
"And what if I don't want to stay in this... arrangement forever?" Ella looked down at her hands, her fingers tracing the edge of the chair's armrest.
I swallowed hard. "Then we'll end the marriage when it makes sense. But I'll still be in the child's life. We'll make it work."
The silence stretched between us, heavy and uncomfortable. I could see the conflict in her eyes, the uncertainty gnawing at her. She was struggling with this just as much as I was. But I had to make her understand, I wasn't going to abandon her or the baby. No matter what.
This is my responsibility, and I don't plan on running away from it.
"Ella," I said quietly, leaning forward. "I know this isn't what you signed up for. It's not what I signed up for either. But we're in this now. Together. And we need to make decisions based on what's best for the child. That has to be our priority."
