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!

The divorce

"I wouldn't lie, it's not that the urge is not there. She has made multiple attempts, but I somehow managed to escape them. I don't want to hurt my wife or make her feel like I'm using her. I haven't been a good husband to her all these years," Edward explained, his voice heavy with guilt and remorse.

Eric and Logan burst into uncontrollable laughter, their mirth echoing off the walls of the dimly lit room. Edward felt a pang of unease wash over him, wondering what funny thing he had said that prompted such a reaction.

"Sorry, man, but those are the words of someone in love," Lucas managed to say between fits of laughter, his tone mocking and teasing.

Edward's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, his discomfort growing by the second. He had bared his soul to his friends, only to be met with ridicule and scorn. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, wishing he could disappear into thin air.
