After a night of passion during her celebratory vacation, Cass disappears, leaving Marcus confused. Three years later, she is a top lawyer who gets outsmarted by her treacherous fiance. Losing a case that cost her career, the lawyer finds herself as the personal assistant to her fling. "Marry me" Marcus proposes a contract marriage. He needs to inherit his family's company to keep it out of the hands of his scheming step brother, and the only way to do so is to get married. He needed someone he could trust with his secret, and Cassandra was the one. With an offer she could never refuse, Cassandra was all in. After all, who wouldn't wish to know how everything became so messed up in her life? As they navigate their new arrangement, Cass finds herself falling in love with Marcus, but ex-lovers, a crazy bully and a scorned company threaten all that she holds dear.

Chapter 1 The Proposal

"Marry me," Marcus said

Cass was dumbstruck, Was he mad? He asked her to marry him so casually like he was grocery shopping or ordering for an espresso.

Of course, she didn't dare ask that aloud after all he was her boss and the only one who had the power to hire her after the debacle that happened four months ago.

He had asked to see her about planning his schedule for the week and after ignoring her for five minutes he had dropped this bombshell.

"What are you talking about sir," Cass said in the softest voice as if she was talking to a child.

"You heard me, Marry me" Marcus reiterated

Marcus could feel the tension building in her as she struggled to keep her tongue in cheek.

This was one of the things that amused him about her.

Women usually fell at his feet, in fact, he had fired several of his personal assistants for trying to seduce him but Cass was always focused on her work and acted professionally even when he occasionally tried to flirt with her.

"I need a no strings attached marriage for three years after which you will be duly compensated," Marcus said

He could see her starting to object and most likely about to call him all the unprintable names she could possibly think of

"Before you speak, These are the terms of the contract" Marcus handed a document to her

We, Mr. Marcus Wells and Miss Cass Thorton, hereby enter into a legally binding contract marriage agreement.

By signing below, both parties acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agreed to the terms and conditions outlined in this contract marriage agreement.

Signature: Signature: "

Mr. Marcus Wells Miss Cass Thorton

Marcus couldn't fathom why he was apprehensive, any woman would sign immediately without expecting compensation but Cass had proven herself to be unpredictable.

After all, she was the woman who had run from his bed three years ago in France and even went as far as denying ever meeting him when he hired her as his assistant.

Cass was stunned $100,000,000 would change her life but a three-year contract marriage seemed too far-fetched even for her.

"Why me? There are a lot of women pining for you and would do this for free. In fact, you already have a girlfriend, so why not just seal the deal with her?" Cass inquired

Marcus smiled, She was as sharp as ever

"I hate the concept of getting married, I will not have any woman tie me down and use her emotions to manipulate me. That is why I want you, You don't seem to like me that much and neither do I so breaking the marriage will be easy don't you think?" Marcus said with a twinkle in his eyes

"Besides I already broke up with Amber two days ago to make it easier and seamless when I introduce you to my Father in a month" Marcus said lazily

Cass couldn't believe her ears, This man was as incorrigible as they came. This was the reason she knew not to respond when he kept flirting with her despite him making her heart flutter.

Sensing her hesitate, Marcus decided to reveal his hidden ace

"I will look into the Yolanda-RessexPharma case for you and you might be able to get into a law firm again" Marcus knew that was the icing on the cake.

Cass swallowed, She felt like she was making a deal with the devil. He knew how much she had lost because of the case.

In fact, that was why Cass had been unable to get a job in any law firm and had to accept a job as his assistant.

Well, What could go wrong?

"I accept your terms sir, can I get a pen?" Cass signed and looked up to see a devilish grin on Marcus's handsome face.

"What had she gotten herself into?"

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
