Our Accidental Forever
I never expected my life to change so drastically. One moment, I was a woman with dreams, deeply in love with a man I thought I’d spend my life with. The next, I was betrayed and heartbroken, walking in on him cheating without a hint of remorse. That night, overwhelmed with pain and too much alcohol, I made a reckless decision, a one-night stand with a stranger who, to my shock, turned out to be my new boss. Arec, the vice president of Denco Groups, was desperate. To secure his future as CEO, he needed a wife, and in a twist of fate, he offered me a contract marriage. It sounded absurd, but his desperation mirrored my own need to escape the wreckage of my life. It was supposed to be simple: no emotions, no strings attached. A business arrangement, nothing more. I thought I could handle it, that I could keep my heart out of it. I was wrong. What started as a deal quickly spiraled into something far more complicated. As our fake marriage blurred into real feelings, the world around us began to close in. Disapproving family, old enemies, buried secrets, scheming rivals, and even an attempt on my life threatened to tear us apart. This is my story, a journey of heartbreak, unexpected love, and a fight to protect what we built together. In a world filled with lies and deceit, can a marriage born out of necessity become something real? --- Warning: This book contains mature themes. Join my Discord server: https://discord.gg/NJJKETf4
Invitations and Deceptions (2)
Arec's POV
I sat across from Sam at our usual spot, a small café tucked away on the quieter side of the city.
The hum of light chatter and clinking silverware filled the space around us, but all I could think about was the stack of wedding invitations sitting on the table between us. Sam reached over to grab one, his eyebrow quirking as he studied the neatly printed card with my name and Ella's.
"You're kidding me, right?" he said, leaning back in his chair, staring at the invitation like it might suddenly burst into flames. "Of all the ways this could go, who could've thought you'd end up marrying your one-night stand?"
I rolled my eyes, taking a slow sip of my coffee. I knew this was coming the second I invited him here. "It's not like that, Sam. We're not actually getting married. It's a contract marriage."
