Adonis smirked, loosening his tie as he stepped closer. “Stop pretending, Zoe. Or should I say… Mrs. Walter?” His voice was low, teasing. “You’re drooling over me, admit it. I know exactly how happy you are to be married to Adonis Walter.” Zoe folded her arms, rolling her eyes. “Over my dead body.” “Oh, come on,” he said, shrugging off his tuxedo and letting it drop carelessly to the floor. “You get to have all this.” He unbuttoned his shirt and tossed it aside, leaving his toned chest on full display. Defined abs, sharp collarbones, muscles that flexed with every slight movement—he looked like he walked straight out of a magazine. Zoe’s eyes betrayed her for a split second before she quickly looked away. Damn it. Even if she disliked him, she couldn’t deny the truth. This man was hot. Zoe Powers agrees to an 18-month contract marriage with Adonis Walter to save her father’s company. What starts as a deal soon turns into something real. But with Adonis’ bitter ex-girlfriend and jealous brother scheming against them, will their love survive the storm?

Zoe Powers stood outside Ainsoft, arms crossed, foot tapping impatiently against the pavement.This company was her family’s last hope. If her father couldn’t convince Ainsoft to invest in Powers Corp, their business—the one her father had struggled to build all these years would collapse.She exhaled sharply, rubbing her arms against the cool breeze. Her father had insisted she wait outside, saying he needed to handle the meeting alone.

Typical Zoe
Mark got home to the smell of garlic and butter. Zoe was cooking.He walked into the living room, exhausted. He barely had time to sit before Zoe appeared, wiping her hands on a kitchen towel.“Hey, Dad,” she greeted. Then she frowned. “You okay? You look stressed.”Mark forced a smile. “Long day.”She sighed. “Tell me about it. I had to put an arrogant man in his place today.”Mark’s smile widened. Typical Zoe. Strong-willed, just like her late mother.He hesitated, then took a deep breath.“Zoe, I have something to tell you.”“I found a way to save our company,” Mark began.Zoe’s eyes lit up. Hope. She quickly sat next to him, eager.“That’s amazing, Dad! What is it?”Mark swallowed hard. He felt a pang of guilt.How was he supposed to tell her?Mark’s voice trembled as he looked at Zoe.“Zoe… I’m sorry, I failed you.” He took a deep breath. “I… I found a way to save Powers Corp, but it comes with a condition.”Zoe’s excitement faded, replaced by confusion. “What do you mean, Dad?”

Eighteen Months of Trouble
Adonis leaned back in his chair, swirling the whiskey in his glass as he studied his grandmother. “You dragged me here this late just to talk about marriage?”Lana smiled, unfazed. “I’ve found the perfect woman for you.”He exhaled sharply, setting his glass down with a thud. “Perfect? According to whose standards?”“Mine.” She sipped her tea gracefully. “She’s a therapist.”Adonis raised an eyebrow. “A therapist?”“A five-star one,” Lana said proudly.He scoffed. “And what, you think I need therapy?”Lana folded her hands on the table. “You need a wife.”“I already have a woman.”“Abigail?” Lana rolled her eyes. “That gold digger is not a woman, she’s an expense.”Adonis smirked. “I don’t recall asking for your opinion on my love life.”“Well, you didn’t ask for my money either, but you’re spending it just fine.” Lana shot back.He narrowed his eyes. “I run Ainsoft. I earn my damn money.”“Then prove it.” She leaned in. “Your brother is in therapy. He can’t handle the company. If you

I Do…For Now
Lana had rushed the entire preparation.Within a week, everything was set—no time for second thoughts. Zoe barely had time to process it. One minute, she was meeting Adonis for the first time, and the next, she was walking down the aisle.The wedding was small and private, just a handful of important people. Zoe’s father was there, silent and watchful. Adonis’ older brother, Avron, sat in the front row, his expression dark. The moment his eyes landed on the couple, he shook his head and looked away, clearly displeased. And then there was Lana, smiling like she had already won.As Zoe stood at the entrance, she took a deep breath. This is it.Adonis, in a sharp black suit, waited at the altar, unreadable as ever. If he felt anything—nervousness, regret, excitement—he didn’t show it.The ceremony was quick.“Do you, Adonis Walter, take Zoe Powers to be your lawfully wedded wife?”A long pause. Zoe held her breath. Adonis finally smirked.“I do.”Her turn.“Do you, Zoe Powers, take Adoni

Temptation and Teasing
When they arrived at Adonis’ villa, Zoe couldn’t believe her eyes. It was massive—elegant, modern, and screaming wealth. Everything about it, from the towering gates to the sleek architecture, showed just how rich he was.Zoe stepped out of the car, looking around. “You live here?”Adonis barely glanced at her as he adjusted his cufflinks. “You sound shocked.”“I knew you were rich, but this?”“Because I am a billionaire,” he said dryly, walking toward the entrance.Inside, Zoe immediately noticed the rose petals leading up the stairs, candles flickering softly, setting a romantic ambiance.Adonis sighed, rubbing his temples. “Gran has way too much time on her hands.”Zoe smirked. “She clearly wanted to make our wedding night special.”“Yeah, by turning my house into a honeymoon suite,” he muttered.Zoe crossed her arms, looking around. “So… are we supposed to sleep together?”Adonis scoffed. “What do you think?”She shrugged. “Well, we are married now.”He turned to her with a smirk.

Boundaries? What Boundaries?
Zoe stirred awake, her body warm and unusually comfortable. She stretched lazily, her mind still foggy from sleep. But something felt… off.A hand.Wrapped around her waist.Her eyes blinked open slowly, trying to process what was happening. The weight of the arm, the warmth against her back—it was too close.Before she could react, the hand tightened its hold and pulled her back, pressing her against a firm chest.Her eyes widened in alarm. What the—?!She twisted her body, pushing against the arm, but Adonis didn’t budge. Instead, he grumbled something under his breath and pulled her even closer, his fingers gripping the fabric of her nightshirt as if trying to hold onto something familiar.That was it.With all her strength, she shoved him off.Adonis, caught off guard, tumbled off the bed with a loud thud.“What the hell, Zoe?!” he groaned, rubbing his side as he glared up at her.Zoe sat up, breathing hard. “What is wrong with you?” she snapped. “I thought we agreed that you’d sl

Mixed Signals
Adonis came out of the bathroom a few minutes later, towel-drying his hair. Zoe, still sitting on the bed, hadn’t noticed him at first. When she looked up, her eyes widened in surprise.He was standing there, dripping wet, with just a towel wrapped around his waist. As he dried his hair, the towel slipped from his hips and fell to the floor.Zoe quickly looked away, her cheeks turning red. “What are you doing?” she stammered.Adonis smirked, his tone casual. “Do I need permission to be naked in front of my wife?”Zoe swallowed hard, still avoiding his gaze. “But still…”Adonis shrugged, nonchalant. “I don’t need your permission, Zoe. Just getting dressed.”Zoe, her heart racing, kept her face turned away. But then, despite herself, her eyes wandered back to him. She saw him fully, his body strong and defined. Her breath caught in her throat, but she quickly looked away again, trying to focus.“I should go take a shower too,” she said, still not looking at him.Adonis grinned, still st

Jealous?
Zoe ate in silence, pretending she wasn’t affected. Adonis was still texting, a small smile on his face. After a while, he put his phone down and looked at her.“Are you mad?” he asked.Zoe took a sip of her juice. “Why would I be mad?”He leaned back. “You tell me.”She let out a small laugh. “Adonis, you can do whatever you want. It’s not my business.”Adonis tilted his head slightly. “Good. Because I don’t need your permission.”Still texting and smiling, he got up and left the table.Zoe watched him go, her fingers tightening around her fork. One minute, he was teasing her like they were starting to get along. The next, he was acting like a mean jerk. Even if this was a contract marriage, she deserved some respect.She let out a slow breath and focused on her food, pushing everything else out of her mind.She avoided Adonis the whole day. Stayed in the room, read a book, and even went for a walk around the villa, but no matter what she did, she couldn’t shake the irritation in her

Chef Special
The flight to Paris was smooth, but Zoe barely spoke to Adonis the entire time. She kept her focus on the book in her hands, even though she wasn’t really reading. Every now and then, he would glance at her, probably expecting her to say something, but she never did.When they landed, a chauffeur was already waiting to take them to their hotel. Adonis stretched as they stepped outside, breathing in the fresh air.“Paris,” he said, looking around. “Romantic, isn’t it?”Zoe gave a small nod, not meeting his gaze.Adonis chuckled. “You’re awfully quiet. Excited?”She turned to him with a blank look. “Just tired.”He watched her for a moment but didn’t push further. Instead, he helped her into the car, and they headed to their hotel.Their suite was breathtaking—huge windows overlooking the Eiffel Tower, a luxurious king-sized bed, and a cozy sitting area. But Zoe barely took it in. She placed her bag down and walked straight to the bedroom.“Zoe,” Adonis called after her, “aren’t you goi

The Breaking Point
Zoe yanked her hand away from Adonis’s grip, her face set in frustration.“I’m tired of your little games, Adonis, let’s just go home.”Adonis stared at her, clearly not expecting that response. He let out a short laugh, shaking his head. “Home? Zoe, we just got here.”“I don’t care.” Her voice was firm, her eyes cold. “I don’t want to be here, pretending to be something we’re not. This is no honeymoon. This is not even a real marriage so we don’t need it.”His jaw clenched. “You’re overreacting.”“Am I?” She crossed her arms. “You act like this is all a joke, like you enjoy pushing my buttons. But I’m done playing along. So if you don’t mind, Get the PJ ready we’re going back to New York.”Adonis exhaled slowly, running a hand through his hair. “You’re not going anywhere, Zoe.”She scoffed. “Watch me.”She turned to leave, but he caught her wrist again, this time gently. “Fine, let’s go back to the hotel.”Zoe hesitated, surprised by his sudden agreement, but she nodded.
