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!

Lydia’s plot

Edward knew he had to leave. The weight of his mother's silent tears and self-blame had become unbearable. She tried to hide her pain, but Edward saw through her facade. He needed to escape, to find solace in a new environment. Richmond was calling him, and he couldn't wait to explore the new place, to immerse himself in its mysteries and beauty.

Lost in his thoughts, Edward was startled by the ring of his phone. Glancing at the caller ID, he saw it was Rodney, his trusted assistant. Without hesitation, he picked up the call.

"Hello, Rodney. How are you?" Edward asked, trying to sound casual.

"I'm fine, boss. I got the news of your trip. Did you remember something?" Rodney's voice held a mix of curiosity and concern.

"Am I supposed to? What does my memory have to do with my travels?" Edward replied, puzzled by the question.

"That was your last trip before the accident," Rodney explained, his voice tinged with hesitation.
