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!

The porter’s Reflection.

As the elevator doors slid open on the designated floor, the porter stepped out, her mind still reeling from the unexpected encounter with CEO Vin. She couldn't shake the feeling of excitement that had gripped her, even as she reminded herself of the strict rules against fangirling over celebrities.

Guiding Edwards down the hallway, the porter couldn't help but ponder the reasons behind her own reaction. Perhaps it was simply because she was still new to her job, she reasoned, hopeful that with time she would grow accustomed to the presence of high-profile guests.

Her colleagues had warned her about the steady stream of celebrities who frequented the hotel, emphasizing the importance of maintaining professionalism at all times. They had cautioned against showing any outward signs of admiration or excitement, stressing the need to treat every guest with the same level of respect and discretion.
