Love Against the Odds
Romance Dave Marshall is a billionaire businessman who built his empire with ruthless precision, but behind his cold, calculated exterior is a man haunted by a past he can't escape. Betty Harris, his devoted secretary, has been at his side for years, enduring his harsh treatment and never once complaining. But when Dave's failing business demands a quick fix, he enters a contract marriage with Betty-an arrangement meant to save his company, not his heart.
As they navigate their complicated, loveless marriage, Dave begins to see Betty in a new light. The woman he once saw as merely his assistant becomes someone he can't ignore. But just as their unexpected feelings begin to blossom, Sandra, a cunning socialite and Dave's former lover, will stop at nothing to tear them apart. With lies, manipulation, and betrayal surrounding them, Dave and Betty must fight to turn their contract into something real.
In a world of power, deception, and second chances, will love conquer the odds, or will Sandra's schemes destroy their fragile bond forever? You might like
Married To The Arrogant CEO
SarahBlythe. "I want a divorce Noah", I said to him. My heart beating and knees weak. I was scared of how he would react.
'He should be happy right? I mean I am giving him a way out of the bondage of a marriage', I said to myself.
Noah expression darkened and I could see his jaw tighten. He stood up and took slow steady steps towards me with both hands in his pocket.
I immediately got scared and moved backwards.
Noah Wellesley isn't the abusive type but he hates me to the bone, I wasn't sure what he is capable of.
"Wh-what are you doing?", I asked, still moving backwards. Before approaching him for the request of divorce, I promised to be strong and not to let him intimidate me but... he is Noah Wellesley, the only man I have loved, and maybe still love.
"What did you say?", He growled and I flinched.
"I want to end this sham of a marriage, shouldn't you be happy?!", I suddenly found the courage to speak back.
"And what makes you think I would be happy if we divorce?", He uttered and my brows furrowed.
What did he mean by that?
I stopped moving and he soon caught up to me, his eyes dancing on my lips and I saw the hidden feelings in his eyes.
'Why is he like this?', I asked myself.
