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!

unexpected reunion

Edward's entered the house, his footsteps echoing in the familiar hallway as he made his way toward the staircase. He had come to his home for a quiet evening, seeking solace from the demands of his busy life. But just as he was about to ascend the steps, a voice reached his ears, a voice that sent a jolt through his entire body.

His heartbeat quickened, and he froze on the steps, his hand gripping the railing. He knew that voice. It was a voice that had once meant the world to him, a voice he had loved with all his heart.

Turning slowly, his eyes widened as he confirmed what his ears had already told him. There, in the living room, chatting happily with his cousin Sherly, stood Lydia. His first love, the woman who had occupied his thoughts for years after their painful separation.
