Marie helps Steven win a massive new business deal by providing a wife of seven weeks for him. However, complexities arise when the truth is seemingly discovered by the Japanese company. Not willing to risk the loss of the account,Steven and Marie pretend to have been the ones originally married, much to the annoyance of Sandra who had secretly begun to fall in love with the billionaire lifestyle of Steven. What began as a simple plan evolves into a high stakes affair where Marie is almost killed, Sandra becomes pregnant for Steven and almost marries him again and Steven almost loses the company to a traitor who's been wrecking him from within. Will Steven ever move past his dispassionate ways and fall in love with Marie? Will Steven find out the big secret that Marie has been hiding from him? What lengths will Sandra go to ensure she wins back Steven’s heart? And will Steven lose all his hard work to an enemy he never saw coming?

Chapter one

“ Do you, Sandra Rakes take this man to be your husband, to livetogether in holy matrimony, to love him, to honor him, to comfort him, and to keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?""I do." Sandra Rakes replied in a shaky voice. Although smiling, Marie rolled her eyes inwardly. Why Sandra kept acting like this was a real marriage was beyond her. God knows that she had tried to help her friend understand that her boss wasn't looking for love. He was looking for a wife for seven weeks. "Repeat after me," the Notary was saying now as Marie tried to focus on the ceremony before her. Even though she knew the wedding was a sham, she wished desperately it was her in the white dress. That it was her getting married to Steven Kings. She wished she was the one who any moment from now would be kissed by Stevie. She should be happy for her friend, Sandra. At least now Sandra would be able to get a studio apartment and set up her small bus

Chapter Two

“Get the hell out of bed, lazy ass and talk to me!” Marie rolled her eyes inwardly as Sandra pummeled her pillow.“What? The one day I get a day off and I can't catch any sleep. Sandra, what's with you?”“What do you think? I can't reach my husband! Wake up, it's an emergency.”“Okay, okay. I’m up.” Marie said as she held up her hands in mock surrender and then sat up slowly. Sandra plunked herself next to her and looked at her with worried eyes.“What's the issue?” Marie demanded.“ I can't get a hold of Mr King.” Sandra said, sounding close to tears.Marie looked at her friend and tried to assess if she was being serious. Before the wedding, Marie had warned her thoroughly not to develop any kinds of feelings for Mr King. It was a marriage-in-name only. Once the negotiations for the transfer of the Kazuko Inc. accounts to their agency was complete, the marriage would be over. “ Look, he’s probably off to a meeting somewhere. What's the matter? Haven't you been paid?”“ I have. But

Chapter Three

The next couple of weeks went by quickly as more talks of negotiations took up both Marie and Steven’s time. Sandra on the other hand was only too glad to be enjoying her status as the wife of the billionaire. Apparently after dinner that night, Steven had barely said a word to her but tossed a platinum credit card to her and asked her to buy whatever she wanted. Sandra had gone wild and started shopping for all sorts of furniture and accessories for her apartment, she hadn't stopped there, she had even bought tons of designer purses and shoes as well. At first Marie had been worried but then Sandra had gotten red in the face and asked her if she knew the resale value of a Kate Spade purse and that it was all an investment. Then she had looked at Marie closely and said,“You're not jealous, are you? Marie. I thought you were over him?” To which Marie had replied and told her not to be silly and that she was just watching out for her friend.“ The man is a billionaire, Marie. And you

Chapter Four

Steven King reclined in his seat, closed his eyes and placed his fatigued feet on the plush mahogany table in front of him. One reason he had chosen Alden King’s new headquarters to overlook the beach was so that the constant sloshing of the waves would calm him in times like this.The journey to acquiring the Kazoku Inc account had been riddled with more stress and with anxiety than he had had to face in a long time. After countless meetings and several pitch documents were presented, Steven had been stumped on why the deal was yet to come through. Until he had heard from his grapevine contacts that the owner of Kazoku Inc was only willing to do business with people who were married. At first, Steven had been livid about that kind of hogwash. How did being unmarried affect his ability to develop compelling ads and campaigns for the Kazoku Inc brands? Steven had been willing to abandon the whole process until his grandfather had laughed in his face and told him that he hadn't expect

Chapter Five

“Who the hell does he think he is? Ignoring me, treating me like shit?” Sandra shouted in anger as she dabbed eye shadow on Marie’s left eye.“Hmm…” Marie said, already regretting coming to Sandra's house when she was still in such a foul mood. Truth was since Thursday when she had signed the divorce papers in Steven’s office, Sandra had been upset.“He’s such a monster, Marie. How do you cope? Married for seven weeks and he didn't even so much as hold my hand! Our last and only kiss was on our bloody wedding day!” Marie had long given up defending Steven and reminding Sandra that it was supposed to be marriage-in-name only because it only made Sandra get all prickly and accuse Marie of still being in love with Steven.“Why are you going through all this trouble anyway, Marie. Not like he's going to notice you and want you.”Sandra must have caught Marie's eyes in the mirror because she immediately tried to apologize.“Look, I just mean that you should be careful. See what I went thr

Chapter Six

Even with a week's notice, Marie had handled the brief to execute the celebration party to perfection. One thing he could say about the girl was that she got her work done. There were so many things she handled the way he would. He glanced at her now, gulping what looked to be another glass of cocktail. Was she planning to get drunk tonight?Her eyes met his for a second before she looked away.What was up with her? Should he talk to her? Probably not. She had worked hard enough for him to cut her some slack. If she wanted to let her hair down, she deserved it.She was running her free hand through her thick curls now and throwing furtive glances in his direction. Maybe he should go to talk to her.What if she took it the wrong way? She looked so beautiful tonight that he knew she was feeling more self-conscious than she usually was.Several eyes had been fixated on her from the moment she had walked through the door in a backless satin dress. The Marie he knew was a lady who adored ca

Chapter Seven

Marie walked into her apartment and kicked off her heels. Closing the door behind her, she leaned against it and let out the breath she had been holding.Steven King had dropped her off and told her he would decide what to do about her in the morning.Knots swirled her belly as his words rang in her mind. He had called it a little kiss. That little kiss was better than all the fantasies Marie had had since the day she realized she was falling in love with him.Lost in her reverie, Marie went through the motions of undressing, removing her makeup and putting her jewelry away. A little part of her heart couldn't believe she had actually kissed Steven King. She felt both excited and fearful at the same time.Should she tell Sandra? No, bad idea. Sandra wouldn't understand and Marie knew she would end up saying something that would hurt her. Her insides were trembling so much that she itched to tell someone.She was still lost in her unsettling thoughts when her phone beeped.It was Ald

Chapter Eight

Marie's fingers drummed on the steering wheel as she waited for the light to turn green. When it did, she honked to signal the driver in front of her.Where was his mind? As soon as he moved, Marie slid forward and tore across the road. The sooner she got to Alden Kings Inc., the better for her. A few moments later, the great white building loomed before her and she drove into the parking lot. As expected, only a few cars were littered around. How could a place she had been in over a thousand times in the last ten years make her so nervous?Trying to take a deep breath but failing, she sighed and unhooked her seat belt. Whatever was waiting for her in Steven King’s office wouldn't go away so she might as well face it.Dread shoved aside, Marie soaked in the peace and quiet. The usual hustle and bustle of people coming in and going out, and the normal office clatter was absent. She wished it could be like this every day but knew that was a tall dream.“I don't have all day, you know.

Chapter Nine

Steven watched as Marie scrambled about looking for a towel for him to dry his face with. Waiting for her to take her seat, he dabbed his face with the towel she offered.“Married?” Marie cried in a shrill voice.“Yes. Why not?’ He asked, raising his brows and narrowing his eyes at the look on her face. He knew a lot of women who would grab the chance in a heartbeat, but he also knew Marie wasn’t one of them. If he was being honest, he was asking her because he knew she had no interest whatsoever in marrying him and that she wouldn’t make a fuss when the charade had to end.“I don’t… I don’t know what to say…” Marie confessed in a shaky voice. Steven could see her feet trembling under the table. Was the prospect of a fake marriage so terrifying? Was there a boyfriend somewhere she was considering? It dawned on him that he had never asked about her personal life so he didn’t know. But Steven knew Marie wouldn’t have kissed him if she had a boyfriend regardless of any altruistic intenti

Chapter Ten

The morning after Steven King proposed a fake marriage to her, Marie awoke with a splitting headache. After her meeting with him, she had driven straight to a bar and gotten herself drunk. Thinking about marrying him had sounded easy while he sat across from her and explained it but as soon as she had time to think it through, Marie had realized that her feelings concerning the matter were far from straightforward.She had loved Steven so long that she was prepared to marry him in a heartbeat if it were real. The thought of a fake marriage was what haunted her the most. How was he supposed to keep her feelings secret for the next couple of months?At the party, she had been so surprised at how fervently he had kissed her back. If he kept kissing her like that, Marie wasn't sure how much her heart would be able to take before it blurted out its love for him. And then there was the issue of Sandra. Marie knew that sooner or later, Sandra would find out what was going on. Even though sh
