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 flush of embarrassment.

Edwards walked into the house, exhaustion etched into every line of his face,his footsteps echoing through the spacious entryway. The long journey had taken a toll on him, and all he wanted now was a quiet moment to himself. He headed straight towards the stairs, his mind racing with thoughts of the text message he had received earlier. Before he could move any further he was abruptly called back by Sherly,his cousin as she approached him.

"You're back, welcome," she said with a forced smile, her eyes betraying a hint of concern.

Edwards turned back and followed her to the living room, his curiosity piqued. He sank into the comfortable couch, sinking into the plush cushions. The tension in the air was palpable, and he couldn't ignore it any longer.

"Can you explain to me what the text was all about?" he asked Sherly, his voice calm yet laced with a sense of urgency.
