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 door clicked shut behind me, and I had barely taken a step into Kate's small but tidy apartment before her voice cut through the air.

"All right, Joanne," Kate said, her arms crossing as she leaned back against the wall, pinning me with that icy glare. "Let's get on with it. I've got things to do, and wasting time isn't one of them."

The dismissiveness in her tone made my jaw clench, but I caught myself just in time, forcing a sweet, unbothered smile onto my face. Breathe, Joanne. You've come this far.

"Of course," I said, my voice light and agreeable. "I won't take up too much of your time."

I settled onto the edge of her couch, smoothing my skirt and composing myself. Kate remained standing, arms still crossed, her entire demeanor screaming that she didn't want me here.
