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 78-Genesis."Gen, what's happening? There are all these men standing guard outside." Gia lowered her voice. "We've been acting like we don't see them... but we do." She glanced over her shoulder before looking back at the screen. "Do you think they're from the Loan Sharks?" I immediately remembered what August had told me. He'd sent some of his men to keep watch over the orphanage. "You know..." I smiled reassuringly. "They're just there in case people find out about me and trace me back to the orphanage." "They're protecting all of you." She nodded slowly. Even through the video call, I could tell there were a hundred things she wanted to ask but was holding back for my sake. "I hope you're okay," she said softly. "I know everything happening online must be getting to you." She paused. "But I want you to know this. I know you're not who those people say you are." "You're Genesis. My big sister." "And I trust you." That was all it took. My vision blurred. Tear

Chapter: Chapter 77 - August."Have you ever thought about the fact that we might have been drugged?" Genesis casually put another forkful of food into her mouth. The thought had crossed my mind. But right now, all I could think about was the fact that Violet might've been the one who posted those pictures. I stood. "Where are you going?" Genesis asked, getting to her feet too. "Keep eating. I need to make a few calls." She scrunched up her nose. "Fine." I pulled out my phone. "John." "I have a lead." "I want you to look into Violet." There was a brief silence. "Sir... I doubt Violet would do something like that." "It affects her family too." "And if-" "But she told Genesis she did it." "Look into it. I'll be there soon." "Yes, sir." The call ended. I immediately sent Violet a text. Then I grabbed my car keys and headed for the door. "Where are you going?" Genesis hurried after me. "I need to go fix this." "Let me come with you." She was already slipping on a jacket. "No. Stay here." "W

Chapter: Chapter 76 - Genesis."August, why did you have your phone?" I heard him ask as the door slammed shut behind him.He followed me inside.I was seething with anger.I hadn't intended to take the phone.And I hadn't intended to lie.I just wanted to take a walk without him following me or worrying about where I was.That was why I'd said I was going to the garden.On my way out, I saw the phone.I only took it as a precaution in case I got lost.And that was exactly what happened.About thirty minutes into my walk, I lost my way. I tried over and over again to retrace my steps, but to no avail.I turned the phone on, but there wasn't even any network.So I just kept walking, trying to find my way until a kind couple who owned a mini-mart at the edge of town had their son drive me back.I got to the house, but just before I went inside, my phone started beeping.One notification after another.So I took a quick look.And there it was.This was why we were here.I knew he was hiding something.Someone had leak

Chapter: Chapter 75 - August.We'd been here for three full days now.And somehow...Genesis had stopped asking about her phone or work.I knew she hadn't forgotten about it though.But between making sweet, passionate love, arguing about everything and talking my ears off she stopped asking about it.Not that I was complaining.Her voice was like music to my ears.Especially when she wasn't fighting with me."...For the next project, what if you build a luxury SUV?"I opened my mouth to answer, but she held up a finger."Hear me out.""I know SUVs are usually family cars, and they might not be as profitable...""But imagine this."She shifted excitedly to face me."Take you, for example.""You've driven luxury sports cars your whole life.""Not my whole life," I corrected.She narrowed her eyes."Can I continue?"I raised both hands."Go ahead.""You've driven luxury sports cars for most of your life.""Then one day...""You suddenly have children.""Now you have to drive an SUV because of them.""But driving isn

Chapter: Chapter 74 - August."Oh God..." she cried out before collapsing against my chest.For several long seconds, neither of us moved.We just lay there on the rug in front of the fireplace, both of us struggling to catch our breath, our bodies slick with sweat.The fire crackled softly behind us, filling the room with warmth.I wrapped an arm around her, holding her close.We'd been like wild rabbits.Every time I thought we'd finally had enough, she'd look at me, or I'd touch her...And we'd start all over again.Neither of us had tried to stop.We'd simply kept discovering each other, learning every sigh, every gasp, every little thing that drove the other crazy.Eventually...Exhaustion won.The room fell silent except for the sound of our breathing.I waited until hers became slow and steady before speaking."Are you asleep?" I asked quietly.She smiled against my chest."No.""Just tired."She let out a tiny laugh."I mean... who wouldn't be?"I smiled.She lifted her head to look at me.The firelight da

Chapter: Chapter 73 -Genesis. "Why would you sign something like that and not even tell me about it first?" he barked."Well, for one, maybe because your father sent his men to abduct me. They seized my phone too.""Still, you shouldn't have signed it.""What other option did I have?" I shot back. "I was surrounded. His men were outside. Violet was there. He was there. Your mother was there.""And why shouldn't I sign it? I was already there. It wasn't like I expected any money when this marriage ended.""That should've been a choice for both of us to make.""What else was in the contract?""It doesn't even matter anymore." I shrugged. "I signed it already."I slowly walked toward him."And just know..." I said quietly, "I'd sign it again and again if it meant people wouldn't look at me like a gold digger."He didn't say anything.He just stared at me, practically seething with anger.I reached up and wrapped my arms around him."Let's just be happy in this mom
