[Flash Marriage + Marriage Before Love + Family Crematorium + Long-Planned + Mutual Redemption + Sweet Fluff]When her ex-boyfriend, who lost his memory in a car accident, announced his engagement to her own sister, Stella Sterling met a wild man in Lumina. She helped him on a whim, but the wild man said, “That was my first kiss. My family is very strict. Would you please marry me?”The wild man has a past he refuses to speak of; she has a first love she can't bear to look back on. A flash marriage—she thought it was a tacit partnership.Later, someone came to Owen Rhodes to complain, saying Stella Sterling’s smoking and drinking were improper, that her revealing clothes were a disgrace, and that her cursing and fighting were ruining the family's reputation.Owen Rhodes: “My wife is the most well-behaved and obedient person. She's too timid to cause trouble. The fault is definitely yours. Apologize.”The complainant: How about you take a look at the injuries on my face first?——————Owen Rhodes has a secret.

He thought this secret would never see the light of day in his lifetime, until the day he stripped naked and presented himself before her.

She thought a contract was just business.He called it a FUCKAHOLIC contract... pleasure without promises, desire without attachment.I was supposed to keep my distance, stay professional, and survive the mess he called “fun.” But Aec didn’t play by the rules. He was cold, dominant, and utterly irresistible, a storm I couldn’t escape.Then came the night that changed everything. The accident. The absence of his presence in my story. A month gone in darkness, only to wake up to a world that had moved on… and him married.Now, our lives are tangled in ways I never imagined. His company, my career, and my heart are all on the line. Some heartbreaks don’t end in goodbye. They return colder, richer, and wearing a wedding ring.Will I crumble under the weight of betrayal… or rise to claim my own story?

After being abandoned by her long time boyfriend on their wedding day, Rachael lost all her faith in love and relationships. But that changed when she met Andrew again.

With no hope of finding love again in her life, Rachael agreed to marry her father's best friend's son, Andrew Collins. But little did she know fate had different plans for her.

Excerpt:

Holding his drunk wife in his arms, Andrew kicked the bedroom door open.

When he placed her in the bed, Rachael slowly opened her eyes. “Are we home?”

“Yes.” Taking her heels off, he covered her with the quilt. “I'll get you some warm water.” But before he could get up, she grabbed his hand.

“What happened? Do you want something else?”

Kicking the quilt off, she crawled in his lap. Placing one hand on his cheek and the other at the back of his neck, she inched closer. “Andrew—”

“Hmm?”

“I think I am falling for you, what should I do?”

In a world where strength reigns supreme and only the strong are revered, conflict and injuries are commonplace.
