The Sugar Daddy Proposition
In a world where dreams and values often clash, a young woman on the edge of financial collapse is presented with a life-changing offer from a powerful, mysterious CEO. He wants her to be his wife—at least in the eyes of the world. It’s a convenient arrangement, one that promises wealth, security, and a way out of the mess she never should’ve been in. Caught between sticking to her principles and the temptation of a life she never imagined, she’s faced with a decision that could change everything.

Mark straightened again; his gaze locked on the rebound net like it was the only thing keeping him upright. The fierce determination in his expression hadn't faded—but something in his stance seemed... less strained now. Calmer. As if, for a moment, he'd found his rhythm again.
And for reasons I couldn't quite explain, I silently willed him to win—whatever fight he was battling out there. Even if he never realized someone was rooting for him.
I drew shaky breath, pushing back the sudden ache in my chest. It was too easy to see him this way—to let my mind wander to places I couldn't afford to linger. He was still Mark Rowley—distant, infuriating, and completely off-limits.
But even knowing that... it didn't stop the quiet pull I felt toward him.
