His Beauty Her Beast
When Elena defies her controlling father to escape an arranged marriage, she lands straight into the hands of another devil—Rowan Blackwood. Her arrogant, cold-hearted college bully is now a powerful CEO… and her new boss.
Desperate and out of options, Elena accepts the job, thinking it’s better than marrying a stranger. But Rowan has other plans. With his twisted rules, cruel smirks, and a sharp memory of their shared past—including the slap—he seems determined to make her life hell.
What begins as a tormenting work dynamic takes a darker turn when Rowan presents her with a shocking proposition: a contract marriage. For reasons he refuses to share, he needs a wife—fast. And the only one he trusts to play the role? The woman he can’t stand. Elena.
Trapped between her family’s expectations and Rowan’s ruthless games, Elena must decide if playing his fake wife is worth the price of her sanity—or maybe even her heart. But in this war of wills, pride, and passion, nothing stays fake for long.
A scorching slow-burn romance where the office is war, the contract is a trap, and love is the most dangerous rule of all.

Chapter: 4. My Grumpy BossElena’s POV“Good morning, Bella.”My eyes flew open at the voice. No. No. No.The voice should not be calling me at—I blinked at the screen. 9:03 AMCome on. Play along with him, Elena.“Good morning, Boss.”The word boss tasted bitter on my tongue. There was a long, satisfied pause on the other end—too satisfied.“Sleeping in, are we?” he said mockingly.I groaned silently. He knew exactly what he was doing. I wasn’t late. In fact, if I skipped breakfast, brushed my teeth while bathing, tied my hair while dressing, and left the house in twenty minutes flat, I’d still be ten minutes early—just like Rule 2 said.“Not at all,” I said sweetly, already sliding out of bed and grabbing the first pair of pants I could find. “I was just… meditating.”“Is that what you call drooling into your pillow?” he asked, clearly amused.I rolled my eyes so hard I nearly gave myself a headache. “Was there something you needed this morning, Mr. Blackwood?”“Me? Never,” he said, fake innocence dripping

Chapter: 3. Unexpected EncounterElena’s POVWelcome to hell, mia bella.The words hung in the air like a storm. Nothing in my life has been easy. Not even in childhood, not even in teenage life, and now, not even in adult life. Seeing his signature smirk on his face and the desperation in his eyes to make this harder, so as he could, sent shivers down my spine.I stood there frozen.‘I have already set your wedding with my colleague’s son. You’re not going for any interview.’‘Just make sure you don’t embarrass yourself. Or worse, the family name.’‘And judging by that expression, I don’t think you have many other options, do you?’“Ma’am? Ma’am? Are you okay?” Greta’s voice pulled me back to reality.“Yeah-yeah.” I said as I realized I was standing in the hallway. When did I come out of his office? I followed Greta till we reached her office. She looked like the strict teachers in the movie. Perfect bun. Glasses. Black coat and skirt. But she’s a kind lady.“Please wait until your contract is ready,” she said when

Chapter: 2. InterviewRowan’s POV“Checkmate!” he shouted in excitement, a wide grin spreading across his face. It was the second game he’d won, and he was clearly enjoying every bit of his small victory celebration.We were both sitting in the drawing room, where the only source of light came from the fireplace. He sat directly across from me, the warm glow reflecting off his silver hair and making his piercing blue eyes shimmer. He raised his glass and took a slow sip of whiskey.“You got me again, Dad," I huffed.“Good game, son. But never forget—your old man still has it,” he said with a small laugh of pride. “Yeah, I know,” I replied while closing the game.After a long pause he said, “Thanks, son.”I cocked an eyebrow. “For what?”“For taking the position.”It’s been a month since I took the CEO position. And suddenly, life felt… busy. Too busy. I was in my room gaming, lost in some fantasy world, when I got a call from my father. He asked me to come to his office, and honestly, I thought it would b
