I never expected my life to change so drastically. One moment, I was a woman with dreams, deeply in love with a man I thought I’d spend my life with. The next, I was betrayed and heartbroken, walking in on him cheating without a hint of remorse.

That night, overwhelmed with pain and too much alcohol, I made a reckless decision, a one-night stand with a stranger who, to my shock, turned out to be my new boss.

Arec, the vice president of Denco Groups, was desperate. To secure his future as CEO, he needed a wife, and in a twist of fate, he offered me a contract marriage. It sounded absurd, but his desperation mirrored my own need to escape the wreckage of my life.

It was supposed to be simple: no emotions, no strings attached. A business arrangement, nothing more. I thought I could handle it, that I could keep my heart out of it.

I was wrong.

What started as a deal quickly spiraled into something far more complicated. As our fake marriage blurred into real feelings, the world around us began to close in. Disapproving family, old enemies, buried secrets, scheming rivals, and even an attempt on my life threatened to tear us apart.

This is my story, a journey of heartbreak, unexpected love, and a fight to protect what we built together. In a world filled with lies and deceit, can a marriage born out of necessity become something real?

Our Accidental Forever

The ride back to Arec's penthouse was suffocatingly silent. I stared out of the window, but everything outside seemed blurry, distant. My mind was racing, trying to piece together how close I'd come to dying tonight.

The fire, the smoke, the panic, it had been more than just an attack. It was a message. Whoever was doing this wasn't just after me, they wanted me terrified, cornered, helpless. And it was working.

Arec was tense, his knuckles gripping the steering wheel so hard that I could almost hear the leather creak under his hands. His anger hung in the air like a storm cloud, ready to burst at any second.

But he was holding it back, keeping it in check, for me. His eyes flicked towards me several times during the drive, concern etched into every line of his face. He didn't say anything, and neither did I. There was nothing to say right now, only the need to get somewhere safe.
