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 faint rays of dawn filtered through the curtains, stirring Jaden from sleep. His sharp instincts kicked in immediately, his eyes snapping open to the quiet stillness of the room. He turned his head toward the couch, expecting to see Anna's small frame tangled in the blanket, her wild hair cascading over the cushions. But the couch was empty. 


He sat up, his movements sharp and precise as unease settled in his chest. Where the hell was she? His eyes darted around the room, scanning for any sign of her. The blanket was neatly folded, but there was no trace of Anna herself. 


Swinging his legs over the edge of the bed, he rose, his bare feet padding across the cool floor. He walked to the bathroom door, rapping his knuckles against it firmly. “Anna?” he called, his voice clipped and commanding. 


His jaw tightened, and he knocked again, harder this time. “Anna, if you’re in there, answer me.”
