CONTRACT MARRIAGE WITH MY GRUMPY BOSS
Stacy Smith is a walking disaster. As the clumsy, overworked secretary to the formidable Apollo Savage, she spends her days dodging his icy glares and his frequent threats to fire her. She’s one mistake away from the unemployment line—until the unthinkable happens.
In a late-night lapse of judgment, Stacy sends a private, intimate photo intended for her long-distance boyfriend to the wrong contact. She doesn't send it to her lover; she sends it to her cold-blooded, high-society boss.
When the photo leaks and the scandal threatens to burn both their reputations to the ground, Apollo does the last thing Stacy expects: he doesn't fire her. Instead, he steps in front of the cameras and claims her as his own.
To the world, they are a deeply in love couple. To Apollo’s powerful family, she is the woman he’s breaking his high-profile engagement for. But behind closed doors, it’s a cold-hearted business deal. Apollo needs an out from an arranged marriage, and Stacy needs to reclaim her dignity.
The rules are simple: Pretend to be in love. Survive the family dinner. Don't catch feelings.

Chapter: Chapter 4"Apollo, this is a massive problem. Your father is going to find out sooner or later," Tommy said while slowly shaking his head. The VIP lounge of the high end bar was dimly lit. Apollo Savage leaned back into the leather sofa and downed a glass of neat whiskey in one go. He drew a long and contemplative breath from his cigarette. The orange cherry glowed brightly in the shadows."They won't find out," Apollo replied while his voice was a low growl. "I’ll make sure of it."Tommy sighed while taking a long swig of beer directly from the bottle. "You’ve been engaged to Georgia for years. Five years of social events and business mergers. Why is it only now that you’ve decided you can’t go through with it?"Apollo stared at the swirling amber liquid in his glass. He wondered why he was doing this now. Perhaps he had finally reached his breaking point. He had grown up in the cold shadow of his parents' arranged marriage. It was a union built on contracts rather than affection. He had spen

Chapter: Chapter 3Stacy’s mind was a whirlwind. Every employee at Savage Enterprises knew the score. Apollo Savage was engaged to Georgia, the ice queen supermodel. It was the merger of the century. So why, in front of millions of viewers, had he claimed a clumsy and scandal ridden secretary as his own?A sharp and rhythmic knock at the door snapped Stacy Smith out of her trance.She wasn't expecting anyone. She approached the door with a trembling hand and her heart nearly hit the floor when she pulled it open. Apollo Savage stood there while still clad in the sharp black suit from the interview. His collar was slightly unbuttoned and his hair was a mess from the wind. He looked like a man who had driven straight from the studio to her doorstep.“Mr. Savage... what are you doing here?”He didn't answer immediately. He just stood there while his gaze remained heavy and unreadable. He traced the tired lines around her eyes."Please... come in," she stammered when the silence became too much.She steppe

Chapter: Chapter 2There was no room for denial because the SENT folder confirmed her nightmare. The thumbnail of her most private moment sat right next to the name of the one man who held her entire future in his hands.Panic surged through Stacy like a cold and prickling sensation that made her scalp tingle.“Shit, shit, shit!” she hissed into the empty room.The thought of facing Apollo Savage after he saw that photo was physically nauseating. He was already a demanding and cold hearted boss who looked at her like she was a stain on his professional record."If he opened that message, I wouldn't just be fired. I would be obliterated!"She had no other choice. She had to get to his house and delete that message before he woke up.The commute to the high end residential village was a blur of adrenaline and dread. Fortunately, the guards recognized her because Apollo often had her summoned at ungodly hours for late night briefings or to drop off urgent blueprints. She sailed through the gate but her hea

Chapter: Chapter 1“Miss Smith!”The sound of Apollo’s palm slamming against the mahogany desk echoed through the executive suite. It was loud enough to make Stacy jump. Her heart hammered against her ribs. She didn’t rush to his side. Instead, she offered a slow and weary eye roll from her desk before dragging herself to her feet. “Goodness, Stacy, what did you do this time?” Rocky asked. Her voice dripped with mock concern as she meticulously applied a layer of blush to her cheeks. Stacy ignored her. It felt like every CEO in the city had an anger management problem, but Apollo Savage? He had turned being furious at her into a personality trait. In his eyes, she was a walking disaster. To be fair, she was a bit of a magnet for chaos. She knew she was skating on thin ice. His favorite mantra lately had been a cold and rhythmic warning that one more mistake would mean she was gone."Mr. Savage," she said, stepping into his office. Apollo didn't speak immediately. He leaned back while scanning her fro
