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 returned home late that evening, the weight of Lilly’s words and Emily’s concern still heavy on her mind. The guards followed at a respectful distance as she climbed the steps to the mansion, her legs heavy with exhaustion. 


As the door closed behind her, the quiet of the grand mansion felt oppressive. She sighed as she made her way to the living room, the soft glow of the chandelier casting a warm light over the space. She had hoped Jaden wouldn’t be home yet, that she could have a moment to herself. 


Jaden sat on the leather couch, a glass of whiskey in his hand, the amber liquid catching the light. His tie was loosened, and his shirt sleeves were rolled up, revealing the sharp lines of his forearms. He looked every bit the ruthless billionaire, exuding power and control even in his relaxed state. 


Anna froze for a moment, then steeled herself. She didn’t want another confrontation tonight. Not after the day she’d had.
