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!

A night of unintended confessions

Edwards stood in the dimly lit room, gazing down at Annabelle as she lay peacefully on the bed. He had carefully placed her there after she had indulged herself to the point of intoxication. As he turned to leave, her delicate fingers unexpectedly clung to the hem of his clothes, their grip firm. He attempted to shrug her off at first, but her clenched fist left him with no choice but to stay.

His eyes were fixated on her sculpted face, its serenity marred by the question of why she had chosen to drink herself into such a state. He couldn't deny her beauty, however Edwards noticing his thoughts drifting apart quickly snapped out. He reminded himself of the rules in their contract marriage and the implications of falling in love,he set the rules himself and he was determined to abide by it and not succumb to any form of distractions until his goals were achieved.
