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

It had been a cold, rainy day when she had sat in the sterile hospital lobby, her fingers pressed into her temples, trying to hold it all together. The waiting room was filled with the quiet murmur of voices, the clinking of metal trays, and the rhythmic beeping of machines. But to Anna, it all felt distant, like she was underwater, drowning in her own helplessness. Lilly’s condition had worsened. The treatments were only temporary, the bills were mounting, and she had no way to pay for what was needed next. Desperation clawed at her insides, a suffocating knot that wouldn’t let go. 


She wasn’t sure how much longer she could keep up the facade of calm. She kept telling herself she had to stay strong, for Lilly. But each day that passed without a solution felt like a countdown, ticking down to the inevitable. 


Her fingers gripped the edge of the chair, the coldness digging into her skin as she leaned forward, head heavy with worry. The weight of it all was unbearable.
