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!

Rodney’s slip up

Vin took a bite, savoring the warmth and flavor. "This is good," he said appreciatively. "Annabelle always did know how to make a mean lasagna."

"Yeah, she's talented in so many ways. But you know, Vin, she needs someone who can see beyond that tough exterior. Someone who can support her without making her feel like she's losing her independence," Alex said, his tone serious.

Vin nodded thoughtfully. "I get that. I just want to be there for her, in whatever way she needs. It's not about taking over; it's about being a partner."

Alex's expression softened, and he leaned back in his chair. "I think you're on the right track. Just keep showing her that you're here for the long haul."
