Claire’s heart is broken by her cheating boyfriend, and she ends up having a one-night stand with a handsome stranger at the bar, hoping they’ll never see each other again. However, she is shocked to the bone when he turns out to be the CEO of the new company she works at. As if that wasn’t enough, he asks her to marry him - for a three-month contract. She signs the contract because she urgently needs money for her mother’s heart surgery, but things don’t always go as planned. With a cold-hearted husband and his stepmother and children fighting him for inheritance, along with an ex-fiancé who shows up and tries everything to break them up, Claire's married life is harder than it should be. Things become even more complicated when their three-month contract comes to an end, and Claire finds out she’s pregnant!

She knew it was the alcohol, but she couldn't care less, especially after finding out her boyfriend was cheating on her with her best friend.Staggering over to him, she took the empty seat in front of him. "Hey, handsome," she said.He said nothing and just stared at her."Want to have a fun night with me?" she continued.He said nothing, but he started to consider it. It wouldn't hurt to have a one-night stand with the pretty woman in front of him. It might help him take his mind off his father's death and the inheritance issues going on in his family that he was tired of.“My place?” He finally spoke“Yes” She replied and they left the bar together to his place.As she stirred awake the next morning, the presence of a stranger beside her flooded her with regret and embarrassment.

Chapter Two

Surprised, Claire was at a loss for words. “What did you say?”“It’s only for three months, and you'll be well-paid. I know you need money for yourself and your mum’s heart surgery.”“You looked into me. If you’re making this ridiculous request because we spent the night together—”“No, it’s not,” he cuts her off. “And if you’re worried, I can assure you it’ll never happen again. I just happen to need a wife, and you need money.”She couldn’t believe her ears. How could he be so brazen? She stands up and adjusts her skirt. “I’ll take my leave.”“You have three hours to respond before I find someone else,” she heard him say as she stomped out of his office.Claire went back to her workspace and tried to suppress tears; she wasn’t sure why they were coming. She would never accept something like that, ever. “He doesn’t even respect me, so why should I marry him? He could have at least offered in a decent way,” she thought to herself.Her phone started ringing, and she looked at it to see

Chapter Three

Claire got through the first week of work and marriage somehow; both were difficult, but at least her manager talks, while it’s just pure silence with her so-called husband. He’s annoying, so annoying that she wants to avoid him at all costs. Her only companion in the house is the housekeeper, Mrs. Hampton, a middle-aged woman who mainly cooks for them.She was having random conversations with Mrs. Hampton in the kitchen when her phone rang. It was an unsaved number. She picked up, and a familiar voice spoke through the phone.“Claire, right?”“Who is this?”“Come on, it’s your mother-in-law. We haven’t had time to chat or see each other ever since that day.”“Oh, Mrs. Steele. How are you doing?”"I’m good. Since it’s the weekend, why don’t we go shopping together and get to know each other?” It’s not like she could just turn her down, so she said yes. She told Mrs. Hampton about who just called, and her countenance changed, but she said nothing and just told her to be careful.Claire

Chapter Four

They arrived home, and Mrs. Hampton came out to welcome them and help with the stuff. Claire seemed brighter than usual and followed Alexander closely as he entered.He stopped and turned around abruptly, facing Claire who was right behind him. “Why did you go there?”“What? To the store?”“Did you go there to win her favor?”“No, no, I went there because she called me.”“Are you that stupid? I told you to avoid them. Ignore them completely like they don’t exist! Is it that hard?”“Did you just call me stupid? And what about you? You married me because you had no other option, and how was I supposed to know they’re such bad people? You don’t tell me anything!”“I never said I was in love with you when I asked you to marry me, did I?” He took a step closer. “I’m not who you think I am in the slightest. I’m not even close to him. I married you because I needed you, and you accepted because you needed money, so don’t try to get smart with me. You’re nothing but a poor girl I picked up an

Chapter Five

They left home together about an hour later. The driver stopped in front of a huge clothing store after a long drive. Alexander gestured for her to come down, and he led the way inside. The workers inside seemed to be familiar with him, but they all had shocked expressions on their faces when they saw a woman beside him.Light murmurs soon filled the air. The boss appeared and greeted them. He was a short man in his mid-fifties or so it seemed, bald, and wearing dark glasses.“A new secretary, perhaps?” He said after greeting Alexander and glanced over at Claire.“No, Mr. Smith. She’s my wife,” Alexander replied.“Your wife?!” He exclaimed surprisingly. “I’m so sorry, ma’am. It’s just that I’ve never seen him with a woman before, so the last thing on my mind was that you might be his wife.”Claire smiled. “It’s fine.”“Get her ready for the masked party tonight.”It was a party for the elite in society where they come to have fun and build connections. Alexander got the invitation this

Chapter Six

Silence filled the room, and everyone's attention was on them with shocked expressions. Perhaps it was because he hadn't announced his marriage, or because nobody imagined he would ever get married."Your wife?" Charlotte said as she walked up to them."Yes, my wife.""Well, you didn't tell me you were married." Charlotte continued."You didn't ask."He faced Claire, who was as surprised as everyone else. "Let's go home," Claire said nothing and sucked in her breath when she felt his hand wrap around her waist, and they both walked out of the party.Charlotte scoffed as she watched both of them leave, but the smirk on her face soon gave way to anger as she was fuming inside.*There was total silence between both of them in the car on their way home, with occasional sighs from Claire, as if she had a lot to say but decided to keep it to herself. When they arrived home, Mrs. Hamptons came out to welcome them and noticed the palpable tension in the air.Alexander went in first, and Clai

Chapter Seven

Alexander got into his car immediately and started following the map to her live location that she shared. He made sure to call the police while on his way there in case he didn't make it fast enough.He raced as fast as he could and soon arrived at the end of the map. He followed the directions on his phone, but it stopped, and she wasn't there; it was just her phone on the floor behind a trash can.He heaved a frustrated sigh, worry evident all over his face. He quickly started looking around and soon heard her screams coming from a corner. He raced over there and found Claire.A man had her hair fisted in his hand while the others stood around laughing. She spat on his face, and he raised his hand to slap her when a hard blow landed on his left cheek.Alexander's taekwondo classes, which he took while growing up, had come in handy a few times, but this was definitely one of the times he was grateful he took those classes because he was ready to take on these bastards. He looked ove

Chapter Eight

The next day arrived, and Claire got ready to meet Charlotte. She knew when Alexander left the house, and he didn’t even bother to check in on her.She was on her way out when she ran into Mrs. Hamptons, who immediately rushed up to her. “Mr. Steele says you’re not to go anywhere today, ma’am.”Claire gave a small smile. “I’m fine, Mrs. Hamptons. I’m just meeting up with a friend at the café nearby.”“If you insist on going out, then I’ll have to go with you,” Mrs. Hamptons replied.“I’ll save you the trouble. I won’t be long at all, and it’s broad daylight. I’ll be fine, I promise.”“If you’re not back in an hour, I’ll call you, and if I can’t get through, I’ll have no choice but to inform Mr. Steele.”“Alright. I’ll take my leave now,” Claire said and left.The café where Claire and Charlotte arranged to meet was near the Steele mansion. She didn’t need to take a taxi, so she strolled over, and when she arrived, Charlotte was already waiting.“Hi Claire,” Charlotte said first as Cla

Chapter Nine

Claire entered to see them sitting and was surprised as to why they were there. “Is there anything I can help you with?” she asked, raising an eyebrow. “What happened to your pretty face?” Diana rushed up to her and tried to touch her face, but Claire brushed her hand away with a look of disdain. Diana took a step back, looking hurt, and continued, “Claire, don’t be like that. We came to apologize for the other day.” “I don’t remember asking for an apology, so you can leave now,” Claire replied coldly, crossing her arms. “I see Alexander’s rudeness has rubbed off on you because this is no way to treat your husband’s family when we only came to make peace,” Celine chipped in. Claire chuckled, shaking her head. “Make peace? You tried to make me a thief, and now you randomly come in and try to make peace? What a joke. You’d better let me know what you’re here for because I’m sure my husband wouldn’t appreciate your visit.” “If you’re going to be like this, I guess we can get

Chapter Ten

Claire skipped work for about four more days until her bruises were fully healed. She called in sick, and her manager didn’t even put up a fight. It must have had something to do with Alexander. Breakfast was silent as usual with him this morning as they both sat at the ends of the table, opposite each other. Only the clanks of forks touching plates of toast and bacon could be heard. Claire cleared her throat noisily before she started,“I’m going to work today.” Alexander stopped eating and contemplated for a bit before saying anything, his expression thoughtful. “Stay home one more week,” he finally broke his silence in a firm tone. Claire sighed heavily, her hands clenching into fists. “I’ve been doing nothing but talking to the walls for almost a week now. I can’t do it anymore. I want to go to work.” “You have Mrs. Hamptons to take care of whatever you need, so I don’t understand what your complaint is exactly,” Alexander replied, his eyes narrowing slightly. “I got tha
