Night Owl

Jaden Blackwell was given an ultimatum by his parents: get married in six months or lose the company to his cousins. And when Anna Hayes walked into his office seeking for a loan to save her dying sister, he saw it as the perfect opportunity.

She marries him, she saves her sister, he saves the company he worked hard for.

The contract was simple, no intimacy, no strings attached and most importantly; no love.

But what happens when he goes against everything he has ever known and realizes that Anna might just be his downfall? And he began to question himself: was it still a contract?

And what happens when he finds out Anna might not be who she claims to be?





A CONTRACT MARRIAGE TO THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE

The sharp crunch of gravel beneath polished shoes was the only sound as Anna stood frozen in the middle of the road. Her heart raced like a caged animal as the figure stepped into the beam of headlights, his face coming into sharp focus. 


Anna stumbled back, her bare feet scraping against the asphalt, her chest tightening with panic. The very man she was trying to get away from was standing right in front of her, his dark eyes gleaming with quiet fury. The faint smirk curling his lips sent a shiver down Anna’s spine. 


“Going somewhere, Anna?” Jaden’s voice was calm, almost lazy, but laced with a menace that sent terror coursing through Anna’s veins. 


Anna spun on her heel, ready to dart back into the forest, but the shadows behind her came alive with movement. A second later, Jaden’s men emerged, their silhouettes cutting through the night like predators closing in on prey. 


“No,” Anna breathed, shaking her head. “No, no, no!”
