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!

Edward’s confused feelings.

Edwards sat in his office, engrossed in the year-end reports presented by Rodney, his diligent assistant. As Rodney listed the best departments, employees, and managers, Edwards couldn't help but scan through the booklet. A familiar name caught his attention, and a subtle smile curved his lips. He handed the booklet back to Rodney with a nod of approval.

"We're about to dismiss for the year. Has the date of the end-of-year party been announced?" Edwards inquired, shifting his focus to the upcoming celebration.

"Yes, sir. It's on Monday," Rodney informed him, standing attentive to his boss's needs.

"Okay, make sure you prepare the end-of-year bonus for every staff, and also see to it that their salaries are paid early. You've also done well; you'll be getting a salary raise," Edwards announced, looking for Rodney's reaction.

Rodney adjusted his glasses, a genuine smile appearing on his face. "Thanks, boss," he expressed his gratitude.
