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

Anna steadied herself in the quiet solitude of her room. The walls felt closer than they had before, the weight of her decision pressing on her chest like a vice. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, taking in the fire behind her tired eyes. She hated the position she was in, hated the deal she had made, but she wouldn’t break. Not now, not ever. Not when Lilly’s life depended on her. 


Straightening her shoulders, Anna let out a slow, deliberate breath. Her trembling fingers gripped the edge of the vanity, but her resolve hardened. She couldn’t afford to fall apart. Not now. Not ever. 


After a few moments, she turned, slipped on her shoes, and headed downstairs. Her footsteps were steady, each step an act of defiance against the tightening grip of fear that tried to choke her. She wouldn’t let this life—or Jaden—consume her.
