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
Ella's Inner Conflict
Ella's POV:
Sitting on my bed, I stared blankly at the ceiling, the events of the day swirling in my mind like a storm that refused to pass. I had been feeling off-balance ever since that lunch with Arec, the one where he stood up to Klaus on my behalf.
That moment had shifted something in me, a subtle but undeniable shift in how I saw him. I'd always respected Arec as my boss, but seeing him defend me with such quiet strength, against someone who had once meant so much to me, had stirred up emotions I wasn't prepared to deal with.
But now this? A proposal for a contract marriage? It felt like the rug had been pulled out from under me. Did he really think so little of me that he could casually suggest something so ludicrous, like I was some piece in a business transaction? My mind kept circling back to that question, trying to make sense of it.
