After schooling abroad most years of his life, he came back four years ago and took Skylar as his secretary ever since. Accidentally having a one night stand with Skylar when drunk, he proposed a fake marriage contract. She would help him keep blind dates his mother was setting up for him away while she could get the life of comfort without stressing about money which she wanted. But he started to realize he was drawn to her despite agreeing to never fall in love with each other. How long would he be able to resist her? And with danger and dark forces lurking around, would they be able to fight for their love?
View MoreSkyler’s POV "I bet he is hiding something, he has been so sneaky since he came out of that marriage registry," Clara said bluntly. "Tell me, Zane Hills, is there something you are hiding from me, your mother?" "What! Am I now a kid who can’t have his own privacy?" "You are my son! Zane Hills. And I have every right to know at least some important things about you." "Really, Mom! You should start with yourself, talking behind my back, and planning a marriage I do not want for myself." "That is so rude. Zane, Clara is a good woman. I picked her specifically for you, she is the daughter of the most successful vintner. Joining both families together would be huge, Zane." "That is enough, mother!" He yelled "That is enough!" "You both need to leave now!" "Then tell us what you went to do in the marriage registry." "I will tell you when you have decided not to always poke your nose in my business." Her mother said. He walked to the door, opened his bedroom door, and waited f
Skylar I noticed you didn’t wear the dress I bought for you to wear to the marriage registry. "It was too expensive, and I don’t want to call attention to myself, but even without that, the marriage still made it to the news." "Nobody knows you to be my wife; everyone thinks you are just my secretary, Skyler Hills," he said as he gently played with my hair while I rested my head on his arm. We had a very beautiful view from the top of the hotel room we lodged in last night. "I don’t think so," I said sharply, standing to pour more wine into our glass. "Who cares? You are my wife now, and that is all that matters to me." For a minute, he sounded so sweet, but I quickly snapped out of it, remembering it was just a contract marriage. "You know, Mrs. Eve Hills and Clara Scott almost figured out that with the expensive ring you bought for me. You could have just bought something I could afford." He pulled me closer and kissed my lips tightly. "You wear anything I get for
I stepped out of my office and saw Mrs. Eve Hills holding Clara’s hand behind her, yelling at her son."Why do you have to embarrass her right in her presence if you are a low-class secretary? You humiliated Clara, and that is not fair enough to someone who flew down here to check on how you are doing. You need to do better, Zane Hills."I stood there, not too surprised; this wasn’t the first time Mrs. Eve Hills yelled at her son for not doing what she wanted. Zane raised his head and looked in my direction. Immediately, his mom and Clara turned to me, hatred flashing in their eyes.I felt a little insecure and used my finger to adjust my hair behind my ear."Is that a diamond ring?" Clara said as she noticed my ring finger. Mrs. Eve Hills rushed toward me, grabbed my hand, and examined the ring."Oh my goodness! You can’t afford this, Skyler. Are you stealing money from my son?""Zane, she has been stealing money from you, and you didn’t even notice!""I didn’t steal from him, and I
Skyler POV ''It’s 9 a.m., and you are late!'' ''What!'' ''I was so shocked and disappointed in Zane’s words.'' ''What do you mean I am late? We literally had a long day yesterday, and I just got married. Normally, I am supposed to be on my honeymoon right now, enjoying my marriage.''''Honeymoon? I didn’t think about that since it was a contract marriage. Let me guess you loved what we had the other day, right?''He said that as he stood up from his chair and moved closer to me, he gently raised my chin up and held my waist gently to drag me closer to him. He sniffed my neck and seemed to love it.''This smells nice; you used a different perfume?'' He asked as he looked into my eyes with so much emotion in his eyes. For a while, I thought he was truly in love with me, and it was not based on a contract.''Hey, what are you thinking? You look so hungry; have you had breakfast yet?''I stuttered a little. ''I only had coffee.'' Immediately, he removed his manly hands from my waist and
Zain's POV As we stepped out of the Ministry of Marriage building, I let go of Skyler’s hand. The only reason I had held it inside was to avoid giving the paparazzi a story they didn’t already have. Still, a few pictures of us were captured while leaving the building. I smirked slightly as the cameras flashed.“Congratulations, Mrs. Skyler Hills. Congratulations on being married to me. Cheers to a good life,” I said casually before getting into my car and driving off. I didn’t look back to see her reaction, but I imagined the shock written all over her face.When I got home, I was greeted by an unwelcome sight, my parents.“What are you guys doing in my house at this time?” I asked, already annoyed.“Really, Zain? What were you doing at the marriage registry?” my mother shot back.I froze momentarily, wondering how they found out so quickly. “What do you mean, what was I doing? Mom, I’ve had a long day, and I need to rest. Besides, you shouldn’t be here just because I gave you an ext
Skyler POV. I woke up to see a man that probably will be in his 25 now. I can’t still process who he is until I open my eyes wider, and I could see myself in a different room. "How did I get here?" "But you chose this hotel room number. You approached me first. Why are you asking me that question?" "Who fuckin are you? I don’t know you. You took me to this place to drug me and had intimacy with me." "Don’t touch me," I shouted as he wanted to calm me down when he realized that my voice was rising up. Then, I saw myself naked, and my bra and pants on the floor. "What am I doing here? Please, can you explain what I’m doing here with you, asshole?" He smiled when I called him an asshole. "You must be joking. If you don’t believe me, let me tell you how it started." Then he took his phone from the table and showed me a video. I was choked when I saw myself, talking and forcing him. I saw how I was behaving in the bar. I was frustrated, and I fast-forwarded it. I saw how I was ridi
Skylar's POV“Getting married? I still can’t process the words in my head. What do you mean by getting married? I am your secretary, and I work for you. You have high standards, and people won’t expect to see us together.”“Well, luckily for you, or should I say "us,” I don’t care about what people say, and I think you should learn that too.”......“Did he just say us? Oh, my God. Zane Hills, please. I need to go and get prepared for today.”“Well, before you go, you have to see what I have to offer. Don’t you think so?”“Offer? I don’t understand. What do you mean by offer?” Soon one of his men walked in with a suitcase in his hand, and soon I started to wonder what was going on.“So! Miss Skyler Miller, what do you think about this? He said as he stretched out his hand towards me with a paper.”“What is this?”“Will you just check it out first and stop asking questions?”Soon I went through it, and it was a contract—a marriage contract! “What is this? What does this mean?”“What do
“You what?” I almost screamed. “You had it coming, Skylar. I don't want a girlfriend who won't be there if I need to feel loved. I don't want a girlfriend who loves her job more than me.” “So you cheated on me, Ray? How could you do this to me? How could you even think of doing that to me? That's unfair.” I almost screamed, tears running down my face, and just then, I heard the door push open, and slowly it was closed. My eyes met with my boss's eyes, and he looked as though he were standing there, a towel wrapped around his waist and water dripping from his hair down to his already wet chest but instead of feeling attracted, I was disgusted. And then it hit me, I just had a night with my boss. “Holy…” I quickly covered my mouth, not to draw attention to myself over the phone. I just cheated on my boyfriend also and here I was criticizing him for doing the same. Why does Zane always have to be in it? “Please, Ray. Let's just talk about this.”“There's nothing to talk about.” He c
Skylar's POVI was skeptical about what to do at the winery party’s opening, surrounded by the state’s wealthiest people. I couldn’t believe I’d been allowed at such an event, but as the manager of Zane Hills, who sat beside me, it was my job. I was growing tired of the role, and I’d been planning to leave soon, especially since it made focusing on my relationship nearly impossible. Today was my anniversary, yet here I was, spending it with my boss instead.“Welcome, everyone, to the auction of the Azure Veil wine recipe,” the hostess announced, snapping me out of my thoughts. I sat up, focusing on the stage.“We have prominent businessmen with us, so we’ll jump right in before starting the night’s celebration.” She gestured toward the curtains, and applause erupted as they parted, revealing a single blue bottle on a stand.“The bidding starts now. Ten million, going.”“Seventy million”“Eighty million”“One hundred”“Child’s play,” Zane muttered beside me, tapping his fingers on the
