Hired To Love: Games of throne.
"I'll make you fall for me," Alexander whispered, his breath hot against Isabella's ear. "By the time our contract ends, you won't want to let go."
Isabella's life was already complicated enough - a struggling hotel worker by day, anonymous artist by night, all while caring for her sick sister. The last thing she needed was to get tangled up with the notorious playboy heir to a luxury resort empire.
But when Alexander offers her a deal she can't refuse - a contract marriage to secure his inheritance - Isabella reluctantly agrees. It's just business, after all.
As they navigate the world of five-star hotels and high society, unexpected sparks fly. But Alexander's ambitious half-brother Nathan is determined to claim both the company and Isabella for himself.
Caught between two powerful men and buried secrets from her past, Isabella must choose:
The devil she knows? The tempting stranger? Or the freedom she craves?
In this world of wealth and betrayal, love might be the most dangerous game of all.
Will her heart survive the game of love and power?
Will Isabella follow her head, her heart, or her art?

Chapter: chapter ElevenCHAPTER ELEVENAlexander stared at his bedroom ceiling. Three in the morning, and sleep wasn't coming.The kiss played on repeat in his head. Isabella's lips were soft and she was hesitant at first. The way she'd melted into him for that one perfect moment."Get it together," he muttered to the darkness.His king-sized bed felt too empty and quiet. The city lights filtered through windows, casting shadows across Italian marble floors.He grabbed his phone to what was popping on the internet.#ElysianCouple dominated his timeline. Every damn photo showed their kiss from a different angle. Isabella's fingers curled into his jacket. The surprise in her eyes when he'd pulled back."Fuck."He scrolled faster. More pictures. More comments."Power couple of the year!""She totally tamed him!""That kiss though 🔥"Alexander's thumb hovered over one photo. Isabella laughing at something he'd said. Her eyes crinkled at the corners. Real laughter, not the fake kind he was used to seeing."It's

Chapter: CHAPTER TENIsabella stared at her reflection. Wedding dress number fifteen. Her feet already hurt."Girl, this one makes you look like a marshmallow." Mirabel sprawled across the boutique's velvet couch, scrolling through her phone. "Have you seen what they're saying about you two on social media? You're trending."Isabella's stomach clenched. "I don't want to know.""Too late." Mirabel cleared her throat. "'Alexander Elysian finally tamed? Mystery woman steals city's most eligible bachelor.' There's a photo of you two at that charity thing last week."The zipper stuck halfway up. Isabella swore under her breath."Need help?" Alexander's voice came from behind the curtain."No." Isabella tugged harder."You've said no to every dress." His tone held that edge of amusement she hated. "At some point, sweetheart, you'll have to pick one."Mirabel snickered. "He's got you there.""I hate you both." Isabella gave up on the zipper. "Fine. Come in."Alexander slipped through the curtain. His eyes travel

Chapter: Chapter NineChapter NineOlivia sat at her desk, tapping her pen against the wood as she eyed the closed office door. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, each click echoing in the quiet hallway.It was unlike Alexander to be late - the man was a human alarm clock, always here before she arrived. But today, the office was unusually quiet. The elevator dinged and Alexander strode in, a smile on his face. Olivia blinked. A smile? From him? "Good morning, Olivia.""Uh, good morning." She sat up straighter and studied him. Something was different. "You seem... cheerful today.""Do I?" Alexander walked past her with his smile still firmly in place. "Hadn't noticed."Olivia rolled her eyes and followed him into the office. "Alright, out with it. What's got you grinning like this early morning?"Alexander paused and glanced at her over his shoulder. "Nothing in particular.""Bullshit." Olivia planted her hands on her hips. "I've worked for you for four years, Alexander. I know when something's up."For

Chapter: Chapter EightCHAPTER 8"Isabella's fork clattered against her plate. Everyone at the table stared at her. "The Eden Gallery break-in?" Alexander's hand found her knee under the table. A silent warning. "I don't really follow local news."Nathan's smirk widened. "Strange, considering you work in the arts."Damn him. Isabella's palms felt sweaty."The police suspect Veritas," Nathan continued, cutting into his meat. "You know, that artist keeps causing trouble for the elite."Isabella's wine glass trembled as she reached for it. The crystal slipped from her fingers, drenching the white tablecloth. Ice cubes scattered across the table."Oh God, I'm so sorry!" She jumped up, napkin in hand. Her elbow caught her plate, sending it crashing to the floor.Shit, Isabella.shit!"Don't move," Alexander ordered, already signaling the staff. His hand pressed against her lower back, steady and warm.Nathan didn't bother hiding his amusement. "Nervous, Isabella?""Leave her alone," Alexander's voice was steel.

Chapter: Chapter sevenCHAPTER SEVENIsabella's head throbbed as she flipped through the stack of papers for the hundredth time, cramming every detail about her supposed one year relationship with Alexander into her already overloaded brain. "Harvard Business School, graduated top of his class," she muttered and rolled her eyes at the pages. "Bullshit." The more she read, the more her eyebrows climbed toward her hairline. Student body president, debate team captain, honors society, whoever wrote this fairy tale clearly hadn't met the real Alexander Elysian.The car curved around another bend, and through the tinted windows, she caught her first glimpse of the Elysian mansion.Her sharp mind cataloged every detail of the approaching mansion - Gothic architecture, at least thirty rooms, probably built in the 1900s. She'd researched enough about the Elysians to fill a book, but seeing their world up close made her feel like an ant about to walk into a palace of giants."Ready?" Alexander's voice cut through h

Chapter: Chapter sixChapter six .Isabella traced the fading bruises on her sister's arm where the IV had been, careful not to disturb the fresh needle site. The steady beep of the heart monitor had become oddly comforting over the past weeks – each tone a reminder that Josephine was still fighting."The treatment is showing remarkable results," Dr. Martinez said, checking the charts at the foot of the bed. "Her numbers have improved significantly since we started. Whatever you did to get the funding, Ms. Taylor, it saved your sister's life."Isabella's throat tightened. If only the doctor knew the true cost of that miracle."Does this mean I can finally get decent hospital food?" Josephine's weak voice spoke. "No offense, Doc, but that green jello should be classified as cruel and unusual punishment."Dr. Martinez chuckled. "I'll see what I can do about upgrading your menu. But remember—""Small portions, nothing too heavy," Josephine finished with an eye roll. "I know the drill."After the doctor left,
