Tóm tắt

"Mrs Anderson, I was informed by my PA that you've already signed the contract, I hope it is clear what your job description is about?" Ace asked.   "I don't understand sir Mayor but I applied to be part of the digital research department but I wasn't questioned, I was given a contract to sign which I did and I was ordered to go home and that I'll be called but I didn't receive any call not until today and instead of a call I was picked up by your men, I don't understand what this is all about. Am I working here or at the company?" She asked. ........ A job interview was all it took to change Joana's life. Desperate to get a job, she signed a contract without reading what was written in it but little did she know that that contract was going to be something she would dread and won't be able to get out of.

Chapter 1Job interview

  Today is a happy day for Joana, she is going for a job interview, things haven't been going well in her life ever since she graduated from college but finally, things were going on track. She prays she gets the job, but one thing is for sure, she is confident about this one, it's going to change her life for sure.

  She tied her coffee-brown hair into a ponytail, she curled her eyelashes to make her beautiful brown eyes more visible. She painted her full-heart plum lips with red lipstick. She stepped back to check herself in the mirror, cheekbones firm, straight nose, she smiled showing off her dimples. 

  "We are all set to go." She smiled at her reflection in the mirror. she went to her Waldrop and picked out a pair of black suit pants and a red shirt. She wore her clothes, she paired her dress with a pair of red stilettos and a black handbag.

  She looked at her watch and was glad to have time on her side, she hurried out of the house and took a cab to her destination. She stood in front of the tall famous company owned by one well-known business tycoon. She took deep breaths to calm herself before finally going in.

  Joana wore a straight face but deep down she was shivering and anxious. She stood before the lady at the front desk with a beautiful smile plastered on her face. She took her time to assess her facial characteristics. She had hazel eyes, a short nose and a beautiful heavy top lip.

  "Hello?" The lady snapped. She has been trying to grab her attention but Joana didn't realize it because she was busy admiring her face.

  "Sorry, I'm here for the Job interview." She flashed another smile to ease the tension in the air. This was not the first impression she had in mind. The lady must think she is a psycho or probably gay because of the way she was staring at her.

  "I see.." the lady passed her a weird look before saying, "Take the elevator to the ninth floor, enter the room with a glass door." She instructed. Joana nodded and left after muttering a thank you. She was embarrassed, her cheeks were crimson red.

  She entered the elevator and pressed the ninth floor just like the lady said. She arrived at the ninth floor, there were two offices. Both had glass doors but one was covered with a curtain, she wondered why the lady said she should enter the room with a glass door when both doors are made of glass.

  She decided to go with the door without a curtain, she knocked on the door. She was told to come in, the voice sounded feminine. She went in, she tried not to drop her jaw when she saw who told her to come in.

  She thought she heard a lady's voice but the person standing in front of her is no lady. She flashed the guy a warm smile, he chuckled and pointed at the empty seat in front of him. Joana sat and was waiting for the interview questions but nothing came, they were just staring at each other.

  A few minutes later, the man answered a call and excused himself after the call. He left her all alone in the room, she was lost in her thoughts, 'is this some kind of test? Do they want to see if I'm patient enough?' she asked herself.

  The door opened, and the man came back with a blue file. "Sorry for the wait Miss Anderson," The man apologized. 

  "It's fine Mr...." Joana paused so he would fill the gap she left in her sentence.

  "Robert, Robert Forester." He smiled at her. Joana nodded she realized that Robert smiles a lot, maybe it was his technique to ease tension or to look friendly.

  "This is no ordinary interview, please signed these documents and we will move forward." He gave her the document and a pen to sign. Joana was so excited about the interview, without reading the document, she signed it and gave it back to him.

  "Great, we are done here. You can leave, we will contact you very soon." Robert said.

  Joana was confused, her eyebrows creased in confusion. She wondered why they didn't ask her any questions or looked at her CV. 'What kind of job interview is this?' she wondered.

  "Ok...ay" she replied in doubt. She left her file and left the company and went back home. Her mind was still in doubt, she began to question the outcome of the interview.

  "I thought today was going to be a great day for me but I guess I was wrong. I had hopes, I thought it was going to come out great. I mean they practically called me for the interview, why would they call me if they were not thinking of hiring me? Why ask me to sign a stupid contract?" She slumped on her blue couch.

  Her apartment was big but it was enough to contain her, she didn't have to TV. The room only had a dining table on the left side, close to the kitchen, and two couches. The walls were painted white, the floors had black tiles.

  She went to the kitchen and grab herself a glass of water, and went back to the living room. "I'm so stupid, I signed a contract without reading the content." She kept on throwing insults at herself.

  It has been two days of waiting for their suppose call but none came, she pouted and sulked. "What do I do? I'll be kicked out of this apartment very soon." She mumbled to herself.

  She heard the doorbell ring, with a sad face, she pulled herself out of bed and carried herself to the front door. When she opened her door, the look on her face vanished, it was replaced with a look of shock.

  "Who.. who are you and what do you want?" She asked. She looked at the men dressed in black coats, they were three of them. At first, she thought it was her landlord but she later remembered that he doesn't have bodyguards and can't afford the car standing in front of her driveway.

  "We were sent to pick you up so you'll start work immediately." One of them said she looked at them scared. 

  'Is this some kind of prank or am I being kidnapped?" She asked herself. "Uhh, I think you have the wrong person. I'm not the person you are looking for." She tried to smile but failed terribly, her smile couldn't cover the fact that she was scared.

  "I believe you are Miss Joana Anderson, and you signed this contract two days ago." He sent his hand behind and a paper was placed on his hand. He showed her the contract she had signed two days ago.

  The contract was enough to send everything she was thinking behind her head, she excused herself and rushed back in to change her dress. She came back fully dressed for work, the car door was opened for her to get in. 

  The car started, but instead of them taking her to the company, she was taken to...

Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away.

Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

Husband With Benefits

Nora is shattered a month before her wedding when she uncovers her fiancé's deceitful affair. As she manages this betrayal, she discovers a deep ploy to hinder her from claiming her rightful inheritance. Devastated but determined, Nora takes a daring step to regain control of her life. Enter Demetri 'The Demon' to those who know him, a formidable man barely known to her, who offers her protection and support in return for a contract marriage to satisfy him. In a twist of fate, Nora marries Demetri to claim her inheritance and fight those who plotted against her. But as she battles her own family and Demetri's many rivals, will she be able to keep from falling for the man known to crush people beneath his booted heel. Excerpt: She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him. Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife." She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions." Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them. "Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb." "Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her? "It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued. "Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning? Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality. But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."

Devilish secretary

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?
