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 exchange of contacts.

Edwards approached the table with a confident stride, holding two bottles,one of Glenfiddich 21 years and the other of Hennessy xo in his hands. He set them down with a slight thud, the glass clinking softly against the table's surface, before taking a seat beside Sherly. The tension in the air was palpable, a lingering heaviness from the earlier conversation that hadn't quite dissipated. 

Annabelle sensed it too and decided to break the silence with a cheerful tone, hoping to lighten the mood. "Let me introduce my girlfriend, the reason for the celebration. Meet Clary, my best friend. We're celebrating her engagement!" She announced with a bright smile, her voice infused with warmth and excitement.

Edwards' eyes lit up with genuine surprise and delight. "Wow, that's great news! Congratulations, Clary," he said, raising his glass in a toast. Sherly echoed his sentiments, offering her congratulations with a polite smile.
