The Temporary Mrs. Wade
Rosa never imagined that her quiet, ordinary life would be turned upside down by colliding with a billionaire. Literally. After an unexpected incident, Alexander Wade, icy CEO and heir to a vast company, suggests a contract marriage to fulfill a clause in his grandfather’s will, she agrees reluctantly as it was the only hope she could find.
To Alexander, it was simple: marry, inherit, move on. But nothing about Rosa is simple. With every stolen glance and every unexpected moment, the line between pretend and reality begins to blur. Suddenly, it’s not just about signatures and legalities. It’s about feelings he never intended to feel.
But when his glamorous ex, Daphne, returns and his manipulative mother schemes to tear them apart, Rosa and Alexander's fragile connection is tested. Secrets resurface, betrayal cuts deep, and love is no longer enough on its own.
Now, Alexander must make a choice; hold onto the past he's always known… or fight for the woman who unexpectedly stole his heart.

Chapter: CHAPTER 130: A Perfect OneWhen morning came, Rosa woke up to sunlight filtering through the curtains, painting the suite in pale warm gold. For a moment, she laid still, listening. She could hear the steady rhythm of Alexander’s breathing on her, with his arm warm and secure around her waist.She turned slightly, studying his face as he slept. In daylight, the sharp edges softened. The man who carried the world on his shoulders looked peaceful, almost boyish. Her lips curved into a soft smile.Last night had changed everything.Not just the wedding. Not just the marriage, but her father.The thought made her chest tighten all over again.Alexander stirred when she shifted. His eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the light, then focused on her.“Good morning, Mrs. Wade,” he murmured, his voice hoarse with sleep.She laughed softly. “Good morning, Mr. Wade.”He pulled her closer, pressing a lazy kiss to her forehead. “You okay?”She nodded. “I think so. Just… processing.”He brushed his thumb along her arm. “Today

Chapter: CHAPTER 129: Love in BlushesThe moment the door shut behind Corey and Javin, the suite fell into a rare kind of silence. A soothing one.Javin walked Corey down the hallway, speaking softly, giving directions, making sure he was settled into his room for the night. Corey followed him with a grateful heart, still dazed by everything that had happened.At the door to his room, Corey paused.“I don’t know how I’ll ever repay you,” he said, voice thick with emotions.Javin smiled faintly. “You already have. You showed up.”Corey nodded, emotion clogging his throat. With one last look down the hall toward where Rosa was, he entered his room, closing the door gently behind him.Javin lingered for a moment, exhaled, then turned and walked away.Back in the suite, Rosa stood still, with her hand still loosely curled in Alexander’s. Her emotions had finally begun to settle, leaving behind a soft, trembling afterglow. Joy, shock, relief, love, all tangled together.Alexander watched her closely.She looked different now.

Chapter: CHAPTER 128: Welcome Back The most fun part of the wedding? The wedding night, of course.But tonight, a surprise awaited them, one that would have to halt the icing of the cake. The wedding night.Rosa and Alexander had retired to their suite, laughing over the silly jokes they kept making.Rosa came out of the bathroom and moved toward the window, wearing her robe. She chuckled softly. It was a night robe Nicole had personally chosen for her.Her wedding dress had been carefully stored away. Her hair was loose now, falling freely over her shoulders. She held a glass of water in her hands but hadn’t taken a sip.Alexander stood a few steps away, watching her quietly. When she turned and met his gaze, he winked at her, making her cheeks flush red.But there was more on Alexander’s mind than what Rosa imagined. He had known this moment would come. He had planned it, yet knowing didn’t make it any easier.A soft knock sounded at the door.Rosa frowned. “Who could that be?” she asked lightly. Who would disturb t

Chapter: CHAPTER 127: I Do“It's finally fifth! I thought we would have to wait the whole year!” Claire exclaimed while brushing her teeth.Mrs. Dill looked at her. “Be fast and come and assist us in getting things ready.”The girl pouted. “Although I'm not happy that Ma'am Rosa couldn't convince you enough, I'm still glad. She gave me some clothes, Mom! Like the type Beyonce wears.”Frances sighed, shaking her head. Who had Claire, had a bundle of trouble.“Mom!”Frances heard her daughter call and she sighed again. Whenever her daughter entered talking mode, they wouldn't hear the end of it.“Who's her bridesmaid?”“Nicole.”“Ouu, that's nice. But, Mom. Don't you think my dress should be purple. Why sky blue?”The day of the wedding had arrived.The sky over New York was pale blue, clean and calm, as if the city itself had decided to behave. The wedding was to take place on the beach, and one could see the stretch of the ocean. Its waves brushed the shore in slow, gentle rhythms. The beach had been closed s

Chapter: CHAPTER 126: Arrival of FamilyThe city of New York was restless. Well, did it ever rest? It moved faster than usual, as though it knew something big was coming. And sure it was.Headlines whispered it, billboards hinted at it and social media screamed it. Alexander Wade was getting married to Rosa Hamon, on September fifth. Not just married. Married again, for real this time.The news traveled like fire. From office buildings to cafés, from taxis to apartments. People talked, speculated and waited. It was being called the wedding of the century.And weeks before the ceremony, the city began to receive guests.Rosa stood by the large window of the living room, watching cars line up at the front of the mansion. Her heart beat faster with every passing second.“They’re here,” she whispered.Alexander walked up behind her, resting his hands on her shoulders. “Are you nervous?”She chuckled. “No. I just can't wait to meet them again."He smiled. “They are just seconds away."Outside, the first car door opened.Nardine

Chapter: CHAPTER 125: Have A ConfessionThe night had fully claimed the mansion and everyone slept in soft silence, except Alexander.Rosa slept peacefully on the bed, with one arm tucked beneath the pillow and her breathing slow and even. Her face was relaxed, free of worry or any thoughts. The soft lamp beside the bed cast a gentle glow across her features.Alexander sat on the edge of the bed, his back against the headboard as he watched her for a moment, his chest tightening with affection.She looked so beautiful.He brushed a strand of hair away from her face, careful not to wake her. She stirred slightly, murmured something unintelligible, then settled again. Alexander smiled faintly. He could watch her all night.Then his phone vibrated and he glanced at the screen. Javin. His expression immediately shifted.Carefully, Alexander slipped out of bed, moving slowly so the mattress wouldn’t dip too much and wake up Rosa.He pulled on a shirt, grabbed his phone, and stepped out onto the room's balcony, closing the glass

Chapter: CHAPTER 44: F.I.A.EPenelope stirred beneath the blanket. She felt light directly hit her face and her brows furrowed.She stretched lazily and opened one eye.For a second she forgot where she was. Then Chicago returned and she sighed.Her eyes opened fully and she turned instinctively toward her side.But it was empty. Her brows knitted together. Freya? She sat up slowly, noticing the blanket that they had shared, was now placed fully on her. Penelope looked up again. There was no sign of Freya at all.She blinked. Did she leave already?Her expression softened slightly. Maybe she felt awkward after crying yesterday and hurriedly left before she woke up.Penny sighed. Hopefully she wasn't embarrassed.Getting off the bed, she stretched again and grabbed her clothes.She needed a shower to start her day and so she shuffled to the bathroom.Inside there, warm water poured over her shoulders and she closed her eyes.Her thoughts drifted as she sank in the relaxation.She thought about yesterday. About…

Chapter: CHAPTER 43: Something WrongThe first day at the project site had left everyone exhausted.By the time the Dawnat team returned to the hotel, the sun was already sinking behind Chicago's skyline, painting the glass buildings in shades of gold and amber.The company shuttle was unusually quiet that evening.Gone was the excitement from the morning. Everyone looked drained from the day's stress.Some of the workers slept against the windows, while others scrolled lazily through their phones.A few though, discussed the next day’s workload.Penelope sat beside Wilson, staring outside.The city lights gradually flickered to life as evening settled."We survived Day One," Wilson said, breaking the silence, “We can surely conquer.”Penny laughed softly, "I feel like a sac of potatoes.""Tomorrow, you will feel like a sac of yams."Penny gave him a look, "Thank you for your encouragement.""Don't mention,” he grinned at her and she rolled her eyes.The ride continued peacefully back to the hotel.On the way back, Penny

Chapter: CHAPTER 42: Who is He?"What a small world."Penny still couldn't believe it. She stared at Dante as if he might suddenly disappear if she blinked too much.The man laughed at her expression, "You're looking at me like you've seen a ghost.""I practically have!" Penny exclaimed. "Dante, it's been years!""Seven years."Her eyes widened, "You counted?""I have a good memory,” he winked and Penny rolled her eyes."No. You're just weird."Dante placed a hand over his chest with a fake look of pain, "That hurts."She laughed, giving him a middle finger.Dante then glanced behind her and frowned slightly, before looking back at her, "Coffee?"Penny hesitated, “My lunch break is almost over and I have to go back to work.”“What exactly are you doing?” He asked, crossing his arms over his chest.“I'm a designer,” she replied calmly, “For Dawnat.”His brows raised, “Oh wow. That's…incredible.”“Yeah. So …what business do you have here?” She asked him back.“I just came to visit Charles. Didn't know he was renovatin

Chapter: CHAPTER 41: GossipPenny was utterly confused. Nothing could ever prepare her for the fact that rumours around her were floating around the staff.She clenched her fists slightly. No.This was what she had tried to avoid the very first day she was accepted into Dawnat.Calvin not realizing her secret, not getting close to him, and rumours not circulating around her.Turned out fate skipped the first two and landed on the third one to make her miserable.A tired sigh escaped her lips as she turned around and headed back downstairs to join the others.She couldn't entirely blame them though. If she were in their position, she would probably be suspicious too.Calvin Dawson wasn't exactly subtle anymore with his attention on her.The memory of the gala flashed through her mind. The dance, the ride home, the way he constantly seemed to find reasons to pull her closer.Penny bit the inside of her cheek.She couldn't allow this to continue. Demetria would probably throw her hands in the air and say,"Girl, w

Chapter: CHAPTER 40: It BeginsIt was the day. Saturday.The day the Almighty project would begin. Time for mind, body and soul stress!Penelope heaved a sigh. She was ready for it, but also at the same time, not ready. It was just that bittersweet feeling.But work called and none had a choice not to answer.By seven-thirty that morning, the Dawnat team had gathered in the hotel lobby, coffee cups in hand and sleepy expressions on their faces.The excitement of arriving in Chicago had officially worn off. Now reality had arrived, slamming them in their faces.Penelope adjusted her jacket while trying to suppress a yawn.Then, a voice appeared beside her."Rough night?"She turned to see Wilson standing there holding two coffees. One was already extended toward her and she smiled."You are officially my favorite coworker."Wilson grinned, "I know."She accepted the cup gratefully, "Thank you."“Hi, Penelope.”Penelope looked sideways to see Freya, “Hi, Freya. Good morning.”“Hope you slept well?”Before Penelope co
