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

The darkness in Jaden’s office was oppressive, each second ticking by like a countdown to her inevitable exposure. Anna pressed her back against the cold wall, willing her frantic heart to quiet as the door creaked open. The footsteps, deliberate and unhurried, echoed against the wooden floor, each step sending a jolt of terror down her spine. 


Her breath was shallow, every nerve in her body screaming for her to bolt, but she couldn’t. She froze in place, blending into the shadows, her mind racing with desperate thoughts. Please don’t turn on the light. Please don’t see me. 


Jaden stepped inside, his silhouette tall and imposing in the faint glow of the lights streaming through the window. Anna clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as she watched him reach toward the wall. His hand hovered over the light switch, the tension in the room tightening like a noose around her neck. 


Her heart pounded so loudly she was certain he could hear it. This is it. I’m caught.
