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.

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!

Annabelle drown in sorrows

Annabelle had spent the evening determined to drown her sorrows in a bottle of wine. The dimly lit bar provided the perfect ambiance for her solitary indulgence, and she relished the feeling of the alcohol numbing her emotions. As she lifted the glass to her lips, her thoughts were dominated by the recent events that had left her feeling frustrated and hurt.

Just as she was about to take another sip, her phone buzzed and startled her out of her reverie. She glanced at the screen to discover it was a video call from Clary, her childhood best friend. A faint smile crossed her face as she accepted the call.

"Hey girl," Clary's voice sounded excited over the phone. Her eyes beamed with happiness, but she quickly noticed the change in Annabelle's mood. Concern etched her face as she asked, "You're not happy. What's the matter with you?"

Annabelle hesitated for a moment, trying to mask her emotions. "I'm fine," she replied, her voice not as convincing as she'd hoped.
