His Temporary Wife: A Billionaire's Tempting Deal
His Temporary Wife: A Billionaire's Tempting Deal
“A desperate young woman, Lucy, enters into a contract marriage with the cold-hearted CEO, Drey Jackson, to save her mother's life. But as their lives collide, hidden secrets lie around Drey's family, and a dangerous rivalry emerges to tear them apart. Stuck between love and loyalty, Lucy and Drey must navigate a treacherous path where trust is shattered, and survival becomes their only choice. Will they overcome the darkness, or will the price of love and power destroy them both? ******** "So, a contract marriage," I said slowly, testing the idea. "What makes you think I would even consider something like that? And with you?" I asked, letting out a little laughter. She leaned in slightly, her lips curving into a small, confident smile. "Because it's the perfect solution for both of us. You need the public to believe you're happily married. And I need the money. We both walk away with exactly what we want-no strings attached." I chuckled, feeling I was on the edge of it. "You're a bartender. What makes you think you can play the part of a billionaire's wife?" I chuckled darkly as my breathtaking face twisted into a Mona Lisa. "I can have you fired for this, you know." She didn't flinch, but I noticed her sweaty palms. She could lose her only surviving job if I wanted that to happen. It was obvious how desperate she needed money but I couldn't just agree with her even if it was a good idea. "I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm not some desperate woman trying to snag a rich man," She suddenly snapped. She was only an inch away from me now, trying to avoid any direct touch. "We don't have to be in love. I'm offering you a business arrangement. We keep it professional and look the part when the need arises." For a moment, I didn't react, my expression stoic as ever. From her expression, I could think of different reasons a lady would be sharply in need of money and it's funny how she thought I would be of help to her or even agree to her ridiculous proposal. Then, with a slow, deliberate motion, she slid between my knees, spreading my legs slightly, before leaning in closer, her breath warm against my neck. Immediately, my fingers wrapped around her neck, stopping her. "Do you want to die? Now get out of my face," I growled.”
