Love after Marriage

Second Chance

Contract Marriage

I thought I knew betrayal, but nothing could prepare me for the moment my best friend Lili and my boyfriend Jarem shattered my trust. Just when I thought I’d faced death itself, I wake up to find it’s the day before everything fell apart. What is happening? Armed with the knowledge of my past mistakes, I refuse to be a pawn in their game. It’s time to break free from toxic ties and return to the family I abandoned for Jarem—who turned out to be a total jerk. “Fine, I’ll marry him,” I declare to my parents, my voice steady but my heart racing. There really was no escaping this arranged marriage I so avoided with every chance. And my fiancé? None other than the irresistibly charming Asher Cole—my ex’s boss. What have I just gotten myself into? Can I rewrite my story, reclaim my life, and discover what true love really means?

Chapter 1

The air was suffocating, thick with the smell of rain-soaked concrete and freshly cut grass. I tightened the grip on my umbrella, the cold metal biting into my palm as I trudged through the muddy pathway leading to Jarem’s apartment. I’m not sure why I’m here. I wasn’t supposed to be. Not tonight, not when he was still mad at me for demanding a little bit of his time. But I feel this gnawing tug in my gut urging me to come. I sighed, trying to compose myself, as I felt the need to puke. Call it what you want, intuition or paranoia, but it had been eating me all day.Jarem... he had been distant lately. Not in the obvious way, no. He still smiled at me, he still kissed me on the forehead like he always did. But his eyes... they no longer lingered on me. His laughter felt hollow, like it belonged to a script he was so tired of reading. Was he tired of me too?As I reached his door, I felt my world stop. The faint sound of laughter drifted through the cracks, muffled but unmistakable. It...

Fate’s Second Chance: Married to my Ex's Boss/awfultendenc1
The first thing I felt was air. Cold, sharp, and biting. It filled my lungs in a rush, making me gasp as though I had been underwater for too long and had finally broken the surface. My body jerked upright, my chest heaving as I coughed and sputtered. My head throbbed, my vision swimming in and out of focus. The faint hum of a ceiling fan above me came into view, its blades slicing the air in a rhythmic, monotonous sound. I blinked rapidly, trying to orient myself. The dim light filtering through the curtains of my bedroom cast long shadows across the walls. My bedroom. My apartment. I was in my bed. I stared at the worn wooden nightstand beside me, the faint scent of lavender from the candle I had left unlit the night before hanging in the air. A wave of disorientation swept over me, so strong I thought I might vomit. I was supposed to be dead. My fingers instinctively gripped my arms, running over my skin, checking for wounds, for bruises, for any sign that I had just fallen from

The morning sunlight spilled through the thin curtains of my bedroom, casting long streaks of golden light across the walls. I had been awake for hours, staring at the ceiling, replaying everything in my head. Today was the day I had died. Or, at least, the day I should have died. The thought sent a shiver down my spine, but it also fueled the fire burning inside me. This time, I wouldn’t let fate run its course. This time, I was in control.I swung my legs out of bed and stood, the cold floor grounding me. The faint sounds of the city waking up drifted through the windows, cars humming on the streets below, birds chirping somewhere in the distance. It felt ordinary, unremarkable, but I knew better. Today wasn’t just any day. Today was the day I would take control of my life.Moving with purpose, I pulled an old suitcase out from the back of my closet and threw it open on the bed. I didn’t have much time to waste. Every fiber of my being screamed at me to leave, to put as much distanc

Fate’s Second Chance: Married to my Ex's Boss/awfultendenc1
The gates of my childhood home loomed before me, tall and ornate, their iron bars twisted into intricate designs that had once inspired awe but now felt cold and unyielding. The sprawling estate beyond them was just as I remembered. Immaculate gardens, fountains that sparkled in the sunlight, and a driveway so polished it reflected the sky. It was a palace, a sign of wealth and power that I had turned my back on years ago. And now, I was returning. Not as the rebellious daughter who had defiantly walked out, but as a woman who had been broken, who had lost everything, and who had nowhere else to go.The gates creaked open, and I drove through, the tires of my modest car crunching against the pristine gravel. My chest tightened with every foot closer to the grand mansion. I could feel the weight of my father’s disapproval already, even though I hadn’t yet seen him. The thought of facing him after all these years made my stomach churn, but I pushed the fear aside. This was the only plac

The soft murmur of voices filled the grand dining hall as I followed my mother inside, my heart hammering against my ribs. The chandelier above cast a golden glow, reflecting off the polished marble floors. The scent of freshly brewed coffee and expensive cologne lingered in the air, mixing with the faint trace of my mother’s lavender perfume.The Coles were already seated, their presence commanding. My father stood near them, engaged in conversation with a man who had to be Asher’s father. His slicked-back silver hair and sharp navy suit screamed wealth and influence. But it wasn’t him who stole my attention.It was the man sitting across from him.Asher Cole.I sucked in a breath, my pulse skidding to a stop. He was nothing like I had imagined. Nothing like the men my father typically associated with. His presence was effortless yet overwhelming, like the quiet before a thunderstorm. Tall and broad-shouldered, he lounged in his chair with an air of casual confidence, his fingers tap

The moment the Coles left, the tension in the room finally cracked like a thin layer of ice over deep waters. My mother exhaled, brushing imaginary dust from her silk blouse, while my father adjusted the cuffs of his suit. I, however, was still reeling.Asher Cole was… infuriating.Arrogant. Calculating.And now, my fiancé.I clenched my fists at my sides, still feeling the warmth of his hand lingering on my skin. I should have expected him to be this way—untouchable and unreadable. But something about him unsettled me.“You handled yourself well,” my mother said softly, placing a gentle hand on my arm. “He’s—well, he’s different from what I imagined.”I let out a dry laugh, shaking my head. “That makes two of us.”“He’s sharp,” my father interjected, his tone neutral. “That’s good. You’ll need to be just as sharp if you’re going to survive in that world.”Survive?I turned to face him fully. “You talk about this as if it’s some battle.”My father’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Bec

The grand ballroom of the Cole estate sparkled under the glow of chandeliers, the polished marble reflecting the light like a scene from a dream. A string quartet played in the corner, the hum of polite conversation filling the air. Waiters weaved through the crowd, offering glasses of expensive champagne, as the city’s most influential figures mingled, oblivious to the storm brewing in my chest.I had prepared myself for tonight, for the moment my name would be tied to Asher Cole’s in a way that would leave no room for doubt. But nothing could have prepared me for this.Jarem.And Lili.Together.Standing too close, whispering as if they shared some private secret—one they thought I wasn’t aware of.My stomach twisted. It hadn’t even been a month since I left him, yet here they were. Did they even bother to hide whatever this was? Or did they simply assume I wouldn’t be around to see it?They don’t know that I know.To them, I was just the woman who had walked away.But to me, they w

The moment the engagement was announced, the atmosphere in the ballroom shifted. Some guests clapped enthusiastically, while others exchanged hushed whispers. I could practically feel the weight of their gazes, scanning me from head to toe, trying to piece together the puzzle of how I—someone they barely knew—had ended up as Asher Cole’s fiancée.But I didn’t care about them.I cared about the two people whose reactions mattered the most to me at this moment.Jarem.Lili.As Asher led me through the crowd, my grip on his arm light yet firm, I stole a glance toward where they stood.Jarem’s jaw was clenched so tightly I thought it might snap. His lips were pressed into a thin line, his entire posture rigid with tension. Good.Lili, on the other hand…Her mask had cracked.Gone was the fake concern, the soft voice, the gentle eyes. In their place was something colder, sharper. Her expression wavered between irritation and something else—unease.Did she really think I’d stay broken forev

It had been a week since the engagement party, and my life had been flipped upside down. My name was everywhere—whispers of who is she? and how did she land Asher Cole? spread like wildfire. I felt the weight of eyes on me every time I stepped outside, scanning, analyzing, picking me apart like some mystery they were desperate to solve. But none of that compared to the real problem. Asher. I still couldn’t figure him out. I had expected him to be cold, detached—a businessman merely securing a deal. And sometimes, he was exactly that. But then there were moments, brief and fleeting, where his actions didn’t make sense. Like how he would always position himself slightly in front of me in a crowd, subtly shielding me without making a big deal out of it. Or how he noticed things I never expected him to—my dislike for red wine, my habit of tapping my fingers when I was anxious. And worst of all… the way he made it seem like I mattered. That was the part that scared me the

Since that unexpected dinner, I hadn’t been able to keep my mind off Asher.Not in a romantic way—at least, I didn’t think so. It was more… awareness.I had spent so much time assuming he was just another cold businessman, someone who saw me as nothing more than a contractual obligation. But then he had surprised me. The detour, the unexpected moment of consideration—it lingered in my mind more than I wanted to admit.I still didn’t trust him. But maybe we could be… friends.It wasn’t a ridiculous idea. If we were going to be married, we needed some sort of foundation. Trust wasn’t something I could offer easily, but I could at least try to build something platonic with him.And that was why I found myself in the kitchen, carefully packing a homemade lunch into a sleek black bag.It wasn’t anything extravagant, just something simple. A small peace offering.The real hesitation came when I realized where I had to go.Cole Enterprises.The name wasn’t new to me. Jarem used to talk about
