"You," Augustine began, his voice firm and direct. "I'm making you an offer: we get married, immediately. This isn't a request, it's a demand." Augustine's uttered with a piercing gaze. 
Charles scoffed. “What type of bullshit is that?” He fired back. 

***
Augustine Wales is a cold CEO who is known as the most successful and influential business man in Country H. 

His name alone commanded respect, his steely gaze and cold demeanor strike fear into even the most hardened of hearts. He was a man of few words, each syllable weighted with the power of his position. 

On the eve of Augustine Wales 29th birthday, he received an unexpected call from his family, their demands clear and uncompromising: find a spouse, or forfeit your stake in the family's vast wealth and influence.

Augustine's proposal was rooted in desperation but little did he know that fate was drawing him toward a future he never could have predicted.

"What will happen when Augustine Wales, the powerful CEO, finds himself unexpectedly falling for Charles Donald, a humble cleaner in his office?"
"When Charles' deadly secrets rise to the surface, will their fragile bond shatter, or will their love prove strong enough to weather the storm?"

Charles remained rooted in his standing position as his gaze was intensely focused on the couples that he least expected.

The question barely registered in Charles' mind.

His eyelashes fluttered as he snapped out of his daze, his chest tightening.

Without a word, he turned on his heel, ready to walk straight out of the cosmetic store.

Charles had only taken a few steps before he suddenly stopped.

"Why am I running away?" he muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible.

Charles jaw tightened as a sigh escaped his lips. 'I didn't cheat on Anna… so why should I be the one avoiding her?'

Steeling himself, Charles exhaled slowly and turned back around, forcing his feet to move.

He made his way toward the sales representative, who was already waiting by the shelves lined with skin-tone creams.

I need the diamond necklace, now!
