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

I stood by the window in my living room, cradling a mug of tea that had long gone cold. The golden afternoon light streamed through the sheer curtains, painting delicate patterns on the wooden floor, but its warmth did little to ease the unease settling in my chest.

Joanne's visit lingered in my mind like a stubborn shadow. The unexpected knock on my door had brought her into my space, all smiles and cheer, carrying a notebook and an unusual urgency.

"I've been thinking," she'd said, making herself comfortable on my couch as if she owned the place. "With everything Ella's been going through, don't you think it's time we plan her baby shower? It could be just what she needs to lift her spirits."

I had hesitated, unsure how to respond. A baby shower wasn't a bad idea—Ella deserved to be celebrated—but something about Joanne's eagerness unsettled me.
