My 90-day Marriage to my Ex-boss
“August, I don’t work for you anymore,” she said, voice steady.
“I’m not obligated to listen to you.”
A pause.
Then,
“Oh, but you will.”
He stepped forward.
She stepped back.
Again.
Until her back hit the wall.
Her breath caught, but she didn’t look away.
August placed both hands on either side of her.
Blocking her in completely.
No space left. No escape.
“You’re not my employee,” he said quietly.
A beat.
“But for the next 90 days…”
“…I own you.”
Weeks before his wedding, August Thorne discovers something impossible, he is already legally married.
To Genesis Michaelson, his former personal assistant who vanished three months ago without a trace.
There is no memory of the ceremony. Only fragments of a night in Las Vegas that don’t fully add up.
When the court refuses to annul the marriage due to time passed, they are left with one option: divorce.
But even that comes with a condition.
A 90-day consideration period in which they must live together as husband and wife.
What begins as a drunken mistake turns into a forced arrangement between two people who can barely stand each other, yet cannot stay away.
Tension rises. Clashes become constant, while external forces close in, determined to keep them apart and destroy Genesis in the process.
But someone is lying about what happened that night in Vegas.
And the truth runs deeper than either of them realizes, closer to home, and far more destructive than the marriage itself
Will they survive this game of lies and deceit and fall in love or... ?

Chapter: Chapter 5 - Genesis.I had always been careful, so waking up naked beside my boss that morning, my boss who wasn’t even my type, felt like the beginning of a disaster I wouldn’t survive.After everything that followed, I convinced myself I could forget him. Forget Vegas. Forget that night ever happened.Now it was all crashing back.I wanted this over with as quickly as possible, so I got ready in silence, fixing my hair the best I could before joining them downstairs.I slipped into the passenger seat beside the driver, deliberately ignoring the back door he had held open for me as I walked toward the car.The drive to the courthouse felt suffocating.My heart wouldn’t slow down.I kept staring out the window, trying not to look at him. Trying not to notice the veins in his forearms as he adjusted the sleeves of his shirt, calm and controlled like none of this touched him.Like I didn’t affect him, like he affected me.A bitter laugh almost escaped me.Who was I kidding?Of course he wasn’t affected.I w

Chapter: Chapter 4 - AugustThen silence after I knocked stretched painfully long. Then, a second later, the door creaked open. I froze. There she was, Genesis Michaelson, the very woman I’d spent over twenty-four hours trying to find, while finding out things about her I never thought off. For a moment, neither of us spoke. She looked… different. Not the composed, perfectly put-together assistant I remembered. Her hair wasn’t neatly styled, greasy with strands falling all over her small face, her eyes tired from lack of sleep. Her clothes were simple, worn even. But it was still her. Unmistakably. Those gray eyes. The same ones that had held my attention longer than they should have, even back then. Her gaze met mine. Shock flickered. Then it disappeared. Replaced by something colder. “Why are you here?” she asked quietly. Her voice was unsteady. I let my gaze move over her slowly, taking everything in. “You disappeared,” I said. “I was fired.” “I didn’t-” “You would have,” she replied, t

Chapter: Chapter 3 - AugustTHREE MONTHS AGO. LAS VEGAS... “It was good doing business with you, August.” “The pleasure is all mine,” I replied, shaking his hand. “And I assure you your continuous patronage of TAG vehicles will never be a mistake.” Baron Russo chuckled as he smoothed the crease in his jacket. “That was never in question. My family has used TAG for generations. This meeting was just… formality.” “As expected,” I said smoothly. “Still, I appreciate the opportunity to host you here.” We exchanged a few more pleasantries before the meeting wrapped up. Another deal secured, at least the board members would get their foot off my neck. By the time I returned to the suite, exhaustion had already settled into my bones. I loosened my tie slightly, sinking into the chair and gulping down a glass of whiskey. I winced as the liquid burned my throat before pouring another. “Would that be all for today sir?” a voice asked. Genesis. I didn’t look at her immediately. “You were right after all, my f

Chapter: Chapter 2 -Genesis“So, Miss Michaelson, it says here you worked at Thorne Automotive Group as an executive assistant?”The interviewer glanced up at me, skepticism already written across her face.And at that moment I regretted putting it on my resume.I had wanted to leave that part of my life behind me. Completely.But after months of searching with no results, I didn’t have much of a choice.I didn’t attend a prestigious school.I didn’t have impressive work experience before or after TAG.No one was willing to give me a chance.Until now, after I added it to my resume.I forced a smile. “Yes. I worked there for a year.” “Mm-hm.” She flipped through the file.“So which of the executives were you assisting?” She then stared squarely at me as opposed to how casual she sounded.I smiled politely.“I signed an NDA there so I can't give details about my work there, but I really did work there.” I said, the lie rolling freely, I really did sign an NDA but that didn't stop me from mentioning the executive

Chapter: Chapter 1- August“I’m sorry, Mr. Thorne, but our records indicate that you are already legally married.”For a second, I thought I had misheard him.The officiant sat across from me, his fingers hovering uncertainly over his keyboard, his expression caught somewhere between discomfort and confusion, the later matching mine.The room fell silent, as I tugged at my tie, suddenly feeling constricted.“What are you talking about?” My voice was calm, but it carried enough weight to make the man stiffen. “Until that marriage is resolved, sir, this marriage cannot be legally recognized.”My jaw tightened.I didn’t raise my voice. I didn’t need to.A few inches from me, Violet let out a sharp, disbelieving laugh that quickly dissolved into panic.“What do you mean by our marriage cannot be legally recognised?” she snapped, her voice rising. “August, what is he talking about?”Her panic filled the room, sharp but I barely looked at her before turning back to the officiant. “There has to be a mistake somewher
