I became his fake wife to save his billion-dollar company and accidentally made him fall in love with me

by Michael Johnson

When my billionaire boss Marcus Chen asks me to be his fake wife to save his crumbling empire, I tell myself it's just business—a contract marriage with a very generous paycheck and a clear expiration date. But living in his penthouse, attending glittering galas on his arm, and pretending to be madly in love starts blurring lines I swore I'd never cross. Marcus is all sharp edges and cold calculation, yet behind closed doors, I'm discovering a man who's nothing like the ruthless CEO the world sees. As the year counts down and our arrangement becomes dangerously real, I'm faced with an impossible choice: honor our contract and walk away with my heart intact, or risk everything for a love that was never supposed to exist. Some fake marriages are just business—ours became the most beautiful mistake of my life.
