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!

Sherly spends the night with Vin.

Vin's mind reeled as he finally placed her. It was Sherly, the woman who had been at the center of so much chaos in his life recently. The same woman who had, directly or indirectly, played a role in the tangled web between him, Annabelle, and Edwards. His expression shifted, a flicker of amusement crossing his features.

 "What are you doing here? Are you stalking me?" Sherly demanded, her tone accusatory but lacking the bite it might have had if she were sober.

Vin leaned back, letting out a dry, humorless laugh. "Stalking you? Don't flatter yourself," he retorted, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'm here because I need a break from people like you who think they know what's best for everyone." He had looked up from his drink with a half-smirk, the kind that seemed permanently etched on his face when he was inebriated. "I should be asking you why you're on my property. I see you can't live without me; you're infatuated." He shot back at her.
