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!

Evidence against Vincent

He waited, the silence stretching as his audience held their breath. Then he answered his own question.

"We have an analysis department," he continued, "a team dedicated to finding the perfect location, based on our client's needs. We collaborate with them to create designs that match their vision, offering professional advice and working with the best experts to deliver quality that exceeds expectations. That is who we are—who we used to be. We sell more than properties. We sell trust, and trust is earned through integrity."

Edwards' voice now carried a subtle fire, an intensity that made even the most casual listener sit up straighter. "But now," he said, his gaze sharp, "our reputation is in jeopardy. And I, for one, will not allow this company to fall into disgrace. I've done my investigations, and I know where the issues lie."

The room tensed. People exchanged glances. They knew what was coming, but not the extent of it.
