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?

The ride back was silent until Anna's stomach betrayed her, letting out a loud growl that shattered the tension in the car. Her cheeks turned crimson, and she quickly pressed a hand to her stomach as though she could silence the offending sound. 


Jaden glanced her way, his lips twitching with amusement, but he didn’t comment. Instead, he reached for the car intercom. “Pull over at the next restaurant,” he instructed the driver, his tone calm and matter-of-fact. 


Anna blinked at him in surprise. “You don’t have to—” 


He cut her off with a casual wave of his hand. “You’re hungry. It’s not negotiable.” 


She leaned back, crossing her arms over her chest in defiance but said nothing further. He always had to be in control, didn’t he? Yet a small part of her—one she didn’t want to acknowledge—felt a sliver of gratitude.
