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!

Annabelle’s side of the story.

Annabelle sat alone in her room, enveloped in a cloud of melancholy. The weight of her emotions bore down on her, leaving her feeling drained and despondent. She had withdrawn from the festivities downstairs, weary of the false smiles and insincere greetings that permeated their home during celebratory periods.

As she sat lost in her thoughts, a gentle knock on the door disrupted her solitude. "Come in, it's open," she called out, her voice tinged with resignation. Her mood lifted instantly as Clary entered the room, her presence bringing a ray of sunshine into the gloom.

"Welcome back, babe!" Clary exclaimed excitedly, rushing forward to envelop Annabelle in a warm hug. "I rushed back as soon as I heard," she continued, her eyes scanning Annabelle's face with concern. "You look so pale, what's the matter? Cheer up, girl. I'm here for you. Let's get you back to your old self," she said, her voice filled with reassurance.
