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!

Sherly displays hostility towards Annabelle.

Annabelle walked down the grand staircase of their lavish mansion, her footsteps echoing through the vastness of the foyer. She entered the sitting room, where Sherly sat with crossed legs, holding the TV remote in her hands. As Annabelle approached, Sherly turned to see who was coming, her disappointment evident as it was Annabelle and not Edwards she was expecting.

"Morning," Annabelle greeted Sherly, her tone polite and friendly. "What would you like for breakfast? I can tell the cook to prepare it alongside ours and my husband's."

Sherly turned to face Annabelle, a scoff escaping her lips. "I don't need your help. I know my way to the kitchen," she retorted dismissively before turning her attention back to the television.

Feeling the hostility emanating from Sherly, Annabelle quietly turned away without saying another word. She made her way to the kitchen, determined not to let Sherly's words affect her. However, Sherly couldn't resist one final dig.
