Our Accidental Forever
I never expected my life to change so drastically. One moment, I was a woman with dreams, deeply in love with a man I thought I’d spend my life with. The next, I was betrayed and heartbroken, walking in on him cheating without a hint of remorse. That night, overwhelmed with pain and too much alcohol, I made a reckless decision, a one-night stand with a stranger who, to my shock, turned out to be my new boss. Arec, the vice president of Denco Groups, was desperate. To secure his future as CEO, he needed a wife, and in a twist of fate, he offered me a contract marriage. It sounded absurd, but his desperation mirrored my own need to escape the wreckage of my life. It was supposed to be simple: no emotions, no strings attached. A business arrangement, nothing more. I thought I could handle it, that I could keep my heart out of it. I was wrong. What started as a deal quickly spiraled into something far more complicated. As our fake marriage blurred into real feelings, the world around us began to close in. Disapproving family, old enemies, buried secrets, scheming rivals, and even an attempt on my life threatened to tear us apart. This is my story, a journey of heartbreak, unexpected love, and a fight to protect what we built together. In a world filled with lies and deceit, can a marriage born out of necessity become something real? --- Warning: This book contains mature themes. Join my Discord server: https://discord.gg/NJJKETf4
Missing Ella
Arec's POV:
As I sat in my office, trying to focus on the spreadsheet in front of me, I found myself frustrated by the mess of numbers blurring on the screen.
The temporary secretary had printed the wrong set of reports this morning, mislabeling half the files and missing a few altogether. Ella would never have let that happen.
She'd have caught every error before it even reached my desk, ensuring everything ran smoothly and on time. The simple truth was, I missed her. I'd barely admitted it to myself, but her absence had left a hollowness in the office, a gap no one else could seem to fill.
Ella had always been more than just a secretary. She knew when I needed what and how I needed it, she could read my moods like a book, and somehow made even the most mundane tasks around here feel a little more bearable.
Her presence was warm, steady, and surprisingly grounding for me.
