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!

First night together

Annabelle called out to Edwards from the bedroom, her voice trembling with the strain of exhaustion. "Please, help me unzip my dress. I can't reach the zipper," she pleaded, her fingers fumbling behind her back. Edwards took a few steps forward, his heart pounding in his chest as he stood behind her. He gently pulled her hair up, exposing the delicate nape of her neck, and slowly he unzipped her dress, trying as much as possible to avoid any physical contact.

Edwards gulped down nervously as her dress slipped off her shoulders, revealing her bare milky skin. His eyes widened at the sight, the soft curve of her neck leading down to her slender back. He quickly snapped out of his trance, cursing himself inwardly. He knew he couldn't allow himself to be tempted, not when they had made clear rules about their arrangement. He wouldn't be the first to break those rules.
