Claire thought her life couldn’t get any worse when her boyfriend broke her heart, but a night out with her best friends turned her world upside down. A spiked drink, an unforgettable one-night stand, and an awkward morning-after encounter lead her straight into the arms of Mackenzie Allister—a powerful CEO and the man who now claims she’s destined to be his wife. Mack’s offer seems absurd, but his charm, persistence, and a shocking family rivalry involving her ex-boyfriend, Liam, pull Claire into a whirlwind of passion, deceit, and schemes. Forced into a marriage of convenience, Claire navigates the complications of corporate power plays, bitter betrayals from her closest friends, and a family determined to tear her apart from Mack. As enemies close in, Claire must decide who she can trust and whether she’s willing to risk her heart for a man whose motives may not be entirely pure. Will she succumb to the chaos of revenge and ambition, or can love and loyalty triumph against all odds?

APHRODISIAC

CLAIRE’S POV“C’mon Claire, don’t be like this,” Aliana whined for the hundredth time that night. She was trying to get me out of my comfort zone and make me drunk as shit, but I didn’t want that. I wanted to feel every ache my broken heart had to offer me and I wanted to be depressed as far as depression went.“If you’re going to keep sulking like a little bitch, we’re going to…” Aliana quickly covered Liz’s mouth, stopping her from exposing whatever sick plans they had for me tonight. Liz’s eyes widened in surprise but she quickly recovered and smacked Aliana’s hand away.“Okay, I get it. Don’t smudge my lipstick.”The sound of loud music emanating from the speakers of the club succeeded in making me almost hearing impaired, and the stench of alcohol and sweat got me reeling with nausea. I didn’t want to come out today. In all honesty, I would have very much liked to continue to wallow in self-pity back in my hotel room. But my friends had traveled all the way here to be with me dur...

THE INTERVIEW
CLAIRE’S POVI could already feel the effects of my infidelity seconds after I woke up the next day.Guilt consumed me like a wild fire consumed everything in its way. I knew it was silly of me to feel guilty about sleeping with another man when Liam broke up with me, but it was reasonable to feel that way. We had just broken up the night before and I was still hung up on him. For all I knew he was regretting his actions and planned on calling me first thing in the morning but I was too busy experiencing a new level of climax that may or may not have been discovered yet.Heat crept up my cheeks as I remembered my encounter with the handsome stranger.“Shake that thought away,” I said to myself. “It was a mistake and nothing like that will ever happen again.”“Room service!” I frowned when I heard the announcement coming from the other side of the door. I hadn’t ordered anything yet so it surprised me to hear that.My curiosity was satisfied when I opened the door and saw Aliana and El

PROPOSAL ACCEPTED
MACK’S POV“Sir, your mother has been calling you.”I opened my eyes and stared at the imploring face of Kevin. His hand was stretched out with my phone in it.“Kevin, how many times do I have to tell you to ignore that woman? She just wants to nag me. You already know that so why do you keep answering when she calls?”“It sounded urgent, sir. I couldn’t ignore it.” I sighed and snatched the phone from him, then I dumped it in the ice bucket. I knew that wouldn’t do much damage to the phone, but it was my way of telling Kevin that I couldn’t give two shits about how desperate she sounded over the phone.“You and I both know she’s calling about the blind date that I cancelled. Just continue to live like she doesn’t exist.” Kevin stood in front of me for a few more seconds, as if contemplating whether to try and convince me to respond to the woman that gave birth to me or let it be. When the plane started to shake a little, he took that as a sign to leave and strap on his seat belt.My

THE ENCOUNTER
I sat at the window of the plane, looking at the clouds but not really seeing them. I felt a sharp pain in my ribcage, like a shattered bottle scraping through it. I placed my hand on my chest stroking it in an upward and downward motion, a survival mechanism that I learnt from my mom, and it actually worked.“He is a fool” Mack said from his seat. I turned to his direction and tried saying something but I couldn’t find the words.He just shattered our seven-year relationship. After everything we’ve been through, he decided to let it go for a few seconds of pleasure. The thing that hurt the most was Aliana. She was always there for me, laughed with me, shed tears with me, we literally did almost everything together. To think that she didn’t act at all like the person who’d betray me. It hurt more than anything else in the world did.“Liam has no idea the gem he just threw away right now.” The way he said it made me shudder. He was staring at me like I was a priceless piece of art, some

TO BE MORE
MACK’S POVMy mother’s steely eyes settled in on Claire standing behind me. Immediately, I moved to obstruct her view of my bride-to-be.“You didn’t have to come all the way to the airport to see me, mother. I was headed home anyways,” I said gently. She raised a skeptical brow at me.“Really? And here I was thinking that, with the way you avoided me like a plague, you didn’t want to see me. I thought you had left me with no other choice but to accost you at the airport.” She smiled coyly. “My bad.”She couldn’t resist then. Craning her long, slender neck, she appraised Claire. Her expression was neutral, but I knew what Laura Allister thought.“Who’s that?” she asked. I wasn’t expecting her to, but Claire stepped forward, her face smiling and welcoming.“Hello. My name is Claire Moore. It is nice to meet you.”I have to hand it to Claire though, she was unmoved despite the hard look my mother gave her. She didn’t even stretch out her hand for a handshake when she introduced herself.

Chapter 6: The Arrival.
****************************CLAIRE'S POV****************The gigantic gates of Mack's mansion slowly opened, revealing an expansive estate bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun. I stepped out of the car, my heart fluttering in my chest, a mix of excitement and nerves swirling within me.The luxurious mansion before me was a master piece_tall, regal, and meticulously designed with ivy climbing the walls, its windows reflecting the soft light like a jewel.I paused as I took in the beautiful sight before me, and a soft smile tugged on my lips.The air smelled fresh with a faint of blooming roses from the garden. I trailed the smell of the blooming roses to the garden and I noticed that Mack was walking behind me."There, I found it,", I said to Mack as I squealed in excitement like a little puppy.The garden was a small hidden jewel, nestled behind the gigantic house, depicting the secrets of life, colour and nature.The flowers were delicate_ their petals kisses by the butt

chapter 7: Sadie
**********************Mack's POV**************************The house was quiet for a moment as Claire, my soon-to-be wife, ascended the stairs to get ready for dinner.Her footsteps echoed in the hallway, a reminder that the evening ahead of us would be our first dinner together as my fianceè. I couldn't help but smile as I imagined the life we would build together.But then, the happiness was shortlived by one thing_Sadie, there she was_standing at the entryway with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. Her presence filled the room before she even spoke.Mrs. Amelia left to get the dinner ready with other workers, it was just us."Mack," Her voice was soft but firm."I figured I'd stop by. I wasn't sure if we'd have a chance to catch up before....well dinner.I forced a smile; my mother put her up to this; I hadn't seen her in years, and all of a sudden, she was here; it felt staged; it was unlike Sadie; she hardly visits only on her father's persuasiveness."Sadie, " I said, id

chapter 8: The Rescue.
**************************Claire's POV**********************"You owe me one" I tossed my heels by the side, they've accomplished their mission for the day." Huh?" Confusion was written all over his face." I just did what you couldn't do" I gestured to the door then back at him." Sadie?" "Yes, silly" I exhaled heavily." You know I would've still done it without your help." He said bluntly." Mmmm," I shook my head in disagreement." You wouldn't have" I refused to agree with him."I was just trying not to get on my mother's bad side; it won't be a good start for you", his voice smooth as silk." Oh really?""Yes, really", he responded"But, you still owe me," I said"I've never met someone whose presence has so much effect on a room," he smiled genuinely, gesturing to the door."You made her leave," he said proudly."Well, I've got the skill you know " I chuckled trying to hide the blush on my cheeks.He threw his head in the air as he laughed, holding his stomach."

Chapter 9: The Dinner.
********************Claire's POV****************************My stomach gave out a loud growl, betraying the hunger I'd been trying to ignore all day.The air smelled faintly of rich herbs and something I hadn't tasted before. Amelia's food.This was the first time I'd be trying her cooking, and the anticipation was almost unbearable.My eyes darted towards the dish in front. In front of me_roasted chicken, golden and tender, the scent so inviting it almost felt like a tease.Mack looked up from his plate, his eyes flickering over me, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips."I know you're famished, you should dig in"My hands trembled slightly as I reached for the fork."I hope it's worth your hype""Worth more than the hype, darling", he said, his voice smooth, almost teasing."She's got a knack for turning a simple meal into something unforgettable" He speared a piece of chicken with practised ease, taking his time.I glanced down at the plate again. The fragrance of rosem

Chapter 10: Liam
*********************Mack's POV ***************************"What about the company?" My Expression was dark with anger and fury.Kelvin hesitated for a moment, clearly struggling with the weight of what he was about to say."It's about the investors sir. They've pulled out, half of them have already pulled their shares, and the other half are threatening to do so, it's a complete disaster.""What the hell do you mean? Why would they pull out now?" My expression already darkened.Kelvin shook his head, gazing down at the floor, as if unwilling to meet my gaze." It's Liam sir.... he's been sabotaging the company behind your back."The words hit me like a punch to my gut. I quickly stood up which made my chair tip over. I couldn't care less about the chair."What?" I spat. My voice was low and menacing."Yes," Kelvin confirmed."He's been giving out inside information to our competitors. He's been undermining the business for months now, and it's starting to unravel. The investors foun
