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
Grandmother's Reaction
Arec's POV:
As soon as I stepped through the heavy wooden doors of the house, I knew what was coming.
The atmosphere in the air was suffocating, heavy with expectation and tension.
The house was too quiet, too perfect, like it had been staged for an argument rather than a visit. I would've given anything to stay at my penthouse tonight, but I knew I had to face this. There was no avoiding it.
The servant who greeted me bowed stiffly, informing me that my grandmother had already been waiting for me in her study. It was like she knew I wouldn't be able to avoid this confrontation for long.
"She will see you now, Mr. Arec," the servant said with a sympathetic look that did nothing to ease the dread in my chest.
