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

Jaden adjusted the cuffs of his tailored suit as he stood by the door of the penthouse, his expression unreadable. Anna stood nearby, tense and wary, her eyes darting to him as though bracing for the next move in their twisted game. 


He finally turned toward her, his dark eyes gleaming with calculated intent. “Let’s go,” he said, his voice cool but commanding. 


Before she could take a step, Jaden closed the distance between them and, without warning, swept her up into his arms. Anna gasped, clutching his shoulders for balance. 


“What are you doing?” she hissed, her voice low enough that only he could hear. 


“Playing the part,” he murmured back, his lips curling into a smug smile. “Smile, Anna. Everyone’s watching.” 


Sure enough, as they exited the penthouse, the staff and a few lingering onlookers outside turned their attention to the couple. Jaden carried Anna with ease, his expression a picture of devotion. Murmurs of admiration rippled through the small crowd.
