Tammie Daniels never imagined her life would come to this: marrying a man she barely knows to save her family's business. Raised in a world where independence was her most prized possession, Tammie now looks down on the impossible an arranged marriage to billionaire Collins Blackwood, a man with a reputation as cold as his fortune is vast. Since he was young, Collins hasn't been about anything but building his empire. Love and marriage never came, and quite frankly, he never thought they would, until a promise made to his dying father forces his hand. He has to marry Tammie to secure a deal that will expand his empire. Neither of them anticipated anything more than a business agreement, and Tammie and Collins couldn't be further apart. Lives are shared, and the fire sparks fly: less expectedly, feelings grow, and the boundaries between business and pleasure blur. In a world where one can hardly trust anyone and love is a crapshoot, can two people bound by duty and honor find something real, or was this truly a contract with no heart?

Chapter 2- The Decision

Collins's Point of ViewCollins reached into his briefcase and pulled out a new set of documents. "These are updated terms. They cover our relationships, not only the business. So, if agreed, we can work on this together, with clear goals and mutual respect."She skimmed over them. The new terms were all about joint decisions and spending personal time. It was a step in the direction of something more than just a transaction.Before she could ask more questions, her phone buzzed again. This time, it was a message from her father's doctor: Urgent! Need to speak with you immediately.Tammie's heart fell. "I need to go. My father's health might be taking a wrong turn."Collins got up with a troubled expression. "I'll go with you. We can talk more at the hospital."Tammie only nodded, relieved but frightened. They sped off towards the hospital with Collins forcing his way quickly through the city streets. The intensity in the air had everything intensified.They didn't waste any time but

Chapter 3-The Critical Decision

Tammie's Point of ViewTammie entered the room, her heart pounding as she found the faces of the board members and James. The room was surcharged with tension, and urgency in the situation demanded value for every second."I want to thank you all for coming, on such short notice," Tammie tried to keep a calm head. "I know that this is a critical general moment for our company."James nodded, showing his wrinkles of worry. "We've got the creditor's demands. They want repayment within 24 hours or they'll take legal action."The board members looked around at each other nervously. Tammie felt her anxiety shoot up. "What are our options?"James stepped onto the stage. "We can try to bargain for more time, but it may not fly. The other option we have is to find the funds—quickly."Tammie didn't know what to do. She thought of the contract Collins offered. This money could solve her immediate financial crisis, but more than that, accepting his proposal meant agreeing to his offer—an arrange

Chapter 4- The Countdown to the Wedding

Collins's Point of ViewDays seemed to fly by in a blurry haze of preparation and meetings. Tammie hardly even had a moment to reconcile everything that was happening. Her life had been turned upside down in a matter of days, and she was now hurtling towards something she had never in her wildest dreams thought would come to pass, an arranged marriage.It had all been as Collins had promised, and he came to the office every day to assist in sorting out the financial mess. They had managed to restore the company to solvency and stabilize it by bargaining with creditors and calming down anxious investors. The worst of the crisis was over. The business of their marriage, such as it was, had been attempted.One afternoon, as they sat in her office, Collins looked up from a stack of papers. "We need to discuss the wedding."Tammie's stomach twisted. "We need to discuss the wedding? This all feels so… surreal."Collins leaned back on the chair, scrutinizing her face. "I know this is a lot t

Chapter 5- Revealed Secrets

Tammie's PovThe wedding was over, but in Tammie's mind there still lived a patina of disquiet. And that guy at the reception continued to play in her mind. Who was he? And what did he want? She was asking herself many questions as she couldn't fix her life.The morning-after wedding was the first time Tammie had been out of bed; Collins sat at her feet, dressed. He sat on the brown sofa drinking coffee, reading e-mails with his thumb. He looked up as she walked into the kitchen and smiled slightly.Morning," he responded, and she was struck by the calm amiability in his voice.“Morning,” Tammie answered, putting on a smile. It still took some getting used to the fact that she had only just met her husband.I have some meetings today— Collins told her, —We must also see what new business to start with later.Tammie nodded slowly, a little overjoyed but otherwise quietly irritated. Partly relieved she would not be subject to his torment all day, and partly irritated that her marriage f

Chapter 6: Ninety nine red roses

Chapter 6 A soft sigh escaped Tammie’s lips, as the golden ray of the sun cast a warm glow on her face. She pushed the duvet off her body and walked towards the bathroom, her mind still occupied with the suspicious note and the secrets Collins was hiding. The note had her heart racing, thoughts of who to believe clouding her mind. She soaked her body in a hot, simmering bath and closed her eyes to clear her mind. Tammie couldn't believe she was married now, but the fact that the financial crisis was resolved somehow somehow relieved her. She descended the stairs in a fitted dress, her hair swaying as she walked. Sighting Collins a few steps away, her heart skipped a beat as this uneasy feeling seeped into her bones. “Some truths are dangerous, Tammie.” His words echoed in her ears, making her wonder what he was truly hiding. The smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, and her stomach grumbled loudly, earning a chuckle from Collins. “You're up,” his voice ra

Chapter 7: Memories of the past.

Chapter 7 Tammie's heart skipped a beat as a smile slowly colored her lips, “Collins Blackwood?” she asked, and the young kid nodded, urging her to sign the file. Tammie picked up a pen and signed, “Thanks, but I think ninety-nine roses are too much for you to handle.” she said as she walked out of the company, leaving the young kid in awe. He ruffled his hair with his hands, a reddish tint slowly coloring his cheeks, “Damn! sShe'shot.” Tammie walked towards the parking lot, some roses falling to the ground, decorating the pavement like a wedding aisle. Collins had earned the title of a ‘Ruthless man' in the business society, but behind the covers, all Tammie could see was a diligent man who cared for his wife as well. She placed the roses next to her and started the engine, exhausted from the day’s work. The dark clouds covered the sky like a thick blanket, changing it from its usual blue to a grayish color. The thunder rumbled, and Tammie had a feeling

Chapter 8: Dark secrets

Chapter 8Collins threw his head back, letting out a manly laugh, “my mother likes you already,” he assured, watching her closely “There's nothing to worry about.” Tammie seemed tense, but her shoulders relaxed after his words. She placed some steak on her plate, “Alright then “ she nodded stiffly, “I'll attend the dinner.” The rest of the evening was smooth as dinner passed by in the blink of an eye. Collins gulped down the last sip of his wine before getting up from the table, “I'll be upstairs.” he said plainly, tucking his hands in his pocket before walking away. They were couples, newlyweds, but they slept in separate rooms. Collins wasn't a pervert, someone who derived pleasure in exploiting women, so he gave her the chance to choose her preference. Tammie watched his retreating figure, his broad frame taking each step with such confidence and noblesse. Her gaze shifted, landing on the glass of wine next to her. She reached for it, taking a small sip before leaving the dining

Chapter 9: Dinner night.

Chapter 9Tammie stared at the reflection of herself, the blonde lady staring back at her. Her hair fell in curls, reaching her shoulders, and her bangs framed her heart-shaped face. Her blue eyes shone brightly, like diamonds in the night sky, a gaze that would capture men with a single glance. She applied mild makeup, a faint blush on her cheeks, giving her a heavenly appearance, a drop-dead gorgeous beauty with the world beneath her feet. Her hands trailed the rough surface of her purse before walking outside, her heels striking the floor with confidence. She tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ears and descended the stairs, her hands gripping her purse tightly. Dinner with her mother-in-law seemed like a normal thing, but Tammie had a hard time stabilizing her heartbeat. She pressed her lips in a thin line, her mind traveling back to the suspicious figure she found roaming Collins' building. For the past few days, she hadn't found the right time, the right opportunity to

Chapter 10: Digging the past.

Chapter 10Emma rolled her eyes, ignored her brother's words, and continued her chat with Tammie. Unlike other girls, Tammie looked pure, and simple, with the right personality that goes with Collins' cold attitude. Deep down, Emma hoped Tammie would be the one to soothe her brother and heal the deep, dark scars caused by different situations.Emma was a character, who jumped into conversations just to make sure everyone was clutching their stomach, laughing hard. Tammie had one of the best evenings—a perfect dinner with her family, people who love her for who she truly is. Emma gave her a tour of the house, showing her childhood pictures of Collins and his best friend. Her laughter painted the whole room, and when it was time to leave, she was reluctant to kiss them goodbye.“We’re leaving, mother.” Collins gushed, wrapping his arms protectively around Tammie. Emma couldn't stop the smile that threatened to tear her face, “Slow down, brother, she isn't running.” she pointed out.Tamm
