Kaia Gold’s carefully planned life falls apart on the eve of her wedding. Desperate for freedom from her family’s control and happily celebrating her last night of spinsterhood, she impulsively marries a mysterious stranger she meets at a lounge. But that’s the least of her worries when she catches her fiancé's shocking betrayal with her nemesis. When Kaia tries to annul her flash marriage, she discovers that this partnership could offer her independence while granting him freedom. She proposes they stay married for six months, a proposition Blaze accepts, setting strict terms and insisting on a formal contract. Blaze Black, the aloof heir of the influential Black family, once lost his childhood love to an accident and is forced by his family to marry the adopted sister. Haunted by his past, Blaze sees his marriage to Kaia as a way to silence family pressures, using Kaia as a substitute for his lost love. To Kaia’s shock, her fresh start lands her a job at Blaze’s company, where he insists, she also serves as his assistant with a mouth-watering offer she cannot refuse. Sparks fly as Kaia’s fierce spirit chips away at Blaze’s guarded heart, while their close quarters ignite an attraction. Soon, Kaia’s journey grows complicated as she faces envious rivals, family secrets, and a haunting realization of her true heritage. As Blaze’s feelings intensify, their marriage of convenience deepens, uniting them against betrayal and unveiling Kaia’s place as the true Silver heiress—and the woman destined to claim Blaze’s heart.

Effective immediately, my employment was terminated.Shock, confusion, and then anger hit all at once. It didn't take three guesses to know who was behind this. Shawn. His revenge for me left him, a way to punish me for not playing along. I could practically hear Shawn's smug laughter behind it, but instead of feeling defeated, I just felt… angry. So typically stupid.But I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of watching me fall. Setting the phone down, I took a deep breath. I'd wanted to leave that job anyway; all he'd done was speed up the process. My mind raced with possibilities. I knew exactly what my next move was going to be.I set my jaw and fetched my laptop from my bag, the only belongings I picked from my parents' house. Thankfully, I had spent a night there before my bachelorette to tend to some pressing work and left it the
**************CHAPTER 3While my mind played around my new surname, Blaze's estate came into view. It was breathtaking. Every inch of it was grand and meticulously designed. A butler led me through the vast, silent halls until I found myself in a lustrous living room, and there he was, standing with his usual stoic expression. My heart skipped, but I forced myself to act calm. He did not say anything more than a welcome after I greeted him before leading me into a private study.I sank into the leather chair across from him, feeling the pressure in the air. He slid a thick stack of papers across the desk. "This is the contract," he explained calmly. "The essentials are straightforward. For now, we'll present ourselves as a couple to our immediate families and a few close friends. No one else needs to know."I frowned, staring at the words in front of me. "Then why even bother with the marriage? Wasn't the whole point to keep people off our backs in the first place?"I know I sounde
**************CHAPTER 2I swear I did not understand him. What did he feel like? We were both doing this for our selfish gain. Why did it seem like I had just dug my grave?I shook my head, tossing the thought to the back of my mind as I drove home. My eyes flickered to the card on my dashboard before focusing on the road. I arrived at my parents' house, ready to tell them the news, when my father's cold voice made me stop. "She did what? Kaia broke the marriage?"I inhaled. I should have expected this. Shawn would make a fuss trying to use my parents to control me. Stepping into the living room, I met my parents, both dressed for the occasion. My dad had his phone pressed to his ear, clearly in a conversation with that cheat."Dad." He froze, ending the call and turning to look at me. My eyes glanced around, taking in the sight of my mother seated opposite him, watching with a worried expression on her face, "Mum, I can't marry a jerk. I know he is well to do, but he is a cheat."
**************CHAPTER 1My head throbbed, each beat matching the slow, pulsing ache behind my eyes as I squinted against the morning light pouring into the hotel room. I reached for my phone, hoping to check the time, but froze at the sight of an unread message. Blinking, I rubbed my temples, half afraid of what awaited me."Congratulations on your marriage. Here's your wedding picture. Happy married life!"My heart skipped, and I bolted upright, instantly regretting the movement as nausea washed over me. With trembling fingers, I opened the attachment. There it was—a photo of me and a tall man, his face shadowed, holding a marriage certificate. I was laughing, eyes slightly glazed, looking deliriously happy, even if I could barely recognize myself."This has to be a mistake."Panic rushed through me as the events of last night trickled back—the music, the drinks, the stranger who seemed to understand my every unspoken word, the wild thrill of something forbidden, something I sho
