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!

love at first sight

Annabelle's tear-filled eyes bore into her mother, a mix of disbelief and betrayal evident in her expression. "I can't believe you're supporting Dad. It seems I'm all alone; nobody cares what I want for my happiness," she sobbed, her voice laced with sadness. "Let me make this clear. I'm in love with someone else and will never have anything to do with Raphael. Why not put this energy into finding my brother a wife? Why must I be the one getting married first? I hate you both," she declared angrily, storming into her room.

"You're grounded!" Mr. Christopher's angry voice echoed through the living room as he dropped his newspaper. Turning to his wife, he expressed his frustration. "Did you just hear your daughter? She's becoming stubborn. If she doesn't come to her senses in a few days, she wouldn't like my actions," he threatened.
