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

When they returned to the villa later that evening, Anna’s legs were sore from walking, but her heart felt strangely lighter. Jaden scooped her into his arms effortlessly, carrying her up despite her protests. 


“Put me down!” she said, her voice flustered. 


“Not a chance,” Jaden replied, his tone teasing but firm. “You’ve had enough for one day.” 


By the time they reached their room, Anna was quiet, her head resting lightly against his shoulder. She felt the steady rise and fall of his chest, the strength in his arms as he held her. 


When he set her down gently on the bed, she glanced up at him, her gaze searching his. But before she could speak. His cold demeanor returned, disarming her smile. 


“Get some rest, Anna,” he said coldly without emotion. “Tomorrow’s another day.” 


With that, he turned and left, leaving her alone with her thoughts—and the memory of a kiss that refused to leave her mind.
