Flash Marriage : Miss CEO wants a House-husband

Flash Marriage : Miss CEO wants a House-husband

Nate caught her hand as she turned away. “Say yes, Dahlia.” She didn’t look at him. “To what this time?” His smile was slow, dangerous. “To letting me eat you tonight” Her breath stilled. “You don’t take hints, do you?” “Only the ones that sound like maybe.” His thumb traced her palm, his voice low enough to make her heartbeat trip. She pulled back, just barely. “Goodnight, Nate.” He grinned, unbothered. “Night, wife. I’ll ask again tomorrow.” *********** When ruthless CEO Dahlia Reyes discovers her boyfriend and her best friend in bed together-and plotting to steal her inheritance—she does the most un-Dahlia thing imaginable. She drinks too much and wakes up married to a sex worker. Her “husband,” Nate, is charming, infuriating, and far too comfortable calling her wife. Dahlia’s ready to annul the whole disaster-until she learns she legally can’t for a year. Desperate to save face (and maybe twist fate in her favor), Dahlia decides to use the fake marriage to her advantage. What she doesn’t know is that Nate isn’t the broke drifter and he's watching her with equal parts amusement and admiration. Now, between public appearances, the plotting of the evil people ready to ruin their lives, staged affection, and the slow burn of something too real to fake, Dahlia’s carefully built walls begin to crack. And Nate? He’s determined to make sure she falls-for him, for real, and hard. A story of betrayal, accidental vows, and the slow, intoxicating fall between a woman who doesn’t believe in love and a man who plans to prove her wrong.

Chapter: Chapter 6: You're speaking to my wife.
Tyler’s voice echoed through the glittering ballroom, confident and dripping with charm.He held a glass of champagne high, his grin as wide as the lies he lived on.“I just want to start by saying,” he began, “that I’m the luckiest man alive to have this woman in my life.” “I get to wake up every day and know that I somehow convinced her to stick around.” He pointed toward Dahlia again, and the crowd chuckled. “She’s brilliant. She’s fearless. She’s so quick-witted she can make an insult sound like a compliment. Believe me, I’ve been on the receiving end of both.”More laughter. Dahlia’s smile never faltered, though her knuckles whitened on the stem of her glass.Go on Tyler. Perform Tyler continued, his voice warm and performative. “She runs companies, she scares executives, and-don’t let that icy expression fool you-she’s got a heart somewhere in there. I think.” He pressed a hand to his chest, mock wounded.“She’s beautiful- obviously. But she’s also… uh, very talented in other ar

Chapter: Chapter 5: Happy Birthday Dahila
The hotel glittered ahead of them, bathed in gold light and glamour. Cameras flashed outside despite the event being private - the paparazzi would never miss the birthday of Dahlia Reyes, the elusive CEO with ice for blood and beauty that headlines fed on. Inside the car, Dahlia exhaled slowly, her eyes fixed on the grand entrance. “I know I look good,” Nate said beside her, adjusting his cufflinks “but don’t tell me I’m making you nervous, wife.” Dahlia turned to him, one perfectly arched brow raised. “A slot machine would make me more nervous than you ever will.” Nate chuckled, that low, easy sound that always got under her skin. He looked infuriatingly good. She had to admit it: the suit lent him a certain gravity. He could have fit in behind a boardroom table if he’d wanted to. With that devious curl at the corner of his mouth he’d look like a man who could command a room and ruin a life without breaking a sweat. He noticed the way she watched him, and in his eyes there was an

Chapter: Chapter 4: You're cheating already wife?
The city blurred outside the car window. Dahlia pressed her temple against the glass, eyes half-closed, wishing the motion could wash away the morning. She still couldn’t believe it. She’d woken up married. To a stranger. To him. Beside her, Nate sat with one arm draped casually across the back of the seat, a grin playing on his lips as if he were driving to brunch, not an annulment. Every few seconds he glanced her way, clearly enjoying the contrast between his good mood and her thundercloud scowl. “Stop smiling,”she muttered. “Can’t help it, wife” he said easily. “Don’t call me that.” He raised an eyebrow. “It’s growing on me” Her fingers clenched tighter around the phone in her lap. “This is a nightmare.” “Maybe for you,” he murmured. “I’m having a great day.” She shot him a glare, but he only chuckled, the sound low and unbothered. Her phone buzzed again. Tyler. The name stabbed through her calm. She turned the screen face-down, jaw tightening. Of course he’d be call

Chapter: Chapter 3: You Gold digger
A dull ache throbbed behind Dahlia’s eyes. She groaned as she stirred awake, her skull felt too small for the pounding inside it. The faint scent of linen and expensive cologne wrapped around her like fog as she stirred, squinting against the light creeping through the heavy curtains. She groaned, pressing the heel of her hand to her forehead. Her mouth was dry, her tongue heavy with the taste of whiskey and regret. A hangover. Perfect. Blinking, she took in the room-wide windows, golden drapes, the hum of distant traffic. A hotel suite, judging by the décor. She frowned. Did I… check into a hotel last night? After walking for hours? That seemed plausible. She had wandered the city until her feet ached, the world spinning around her grief. Maybe she’d stumbled in here and collapsed. She stretched her arms above her head, trying to ignore how every muscle complained. When she turned to sit up, the sheets rustled and she froze. Someone was lying beside her. A man. Dahlia’s heart

Chapter: Chapter 2: How much for a night?
The wind whipped against Dahlia’s face as she walked, her heels clattering unevenly across the wet pavement. Somewhere along the way, she’d lost one earring, her lipstick was smeared, and her usually immaculate hair was tangled by the night air. She didn’t care. The velvet box in her pocket burned a hole in her pocket. Every time it brushed against her leg, she felt the betrayal pulse again like a heartbeat. She couldn’t bring herself to throw it away, though it felt like a cruel joke now. She walked without direction, through streets that shimmered with neon and rain. The city pulsed around her, alive and indifferent. Music leaked from open doorways, laughter spilled out of bars. Every face she passed seemed to belong to someone who still had a reason to smile. Somewhere between grief and fury, Dahlia realized she was crying. Silent, angry tears that burned her cheeks before the cold wind dried them away. The last time she cried was at her parents funeral , a year ago, and she pr

Chapter: Chapter 1: She trust me completely
Tonight, Dahila was going to propose to Tyler. The elevator hummed as it rose toward the top floor, carrying Dahlia and the velvet box she’d been holding for the past twenty minutes. The box was small enough to hide in her palm, but it seemed to weigh as much as the world. She couldn’t believe she was actually doing this. Usually the man proposes to the woman but in Tyler situation she knew he took too long to contemplate things. So she took the bold step and bought the rings. The city glowed softly below her ,cars sliding through the night like sparks. She’d seen this view a hundred times from her own office, but tonight it looked softer, gentler. Maybe because she was finally allowing herself to hope and dream again. Dahlia wasn’t the kind of woman who gushed over romance. People said she was cold and too strict and they were right . But Tyler had never flinched from that side of her. When her parents died and the company threatened to crumble under the paws of her greedy relat
