Sarah, a beautiful and charming young woman, is trapped in a toxic marriage with Alex, a controlling and abusive husband. One day, she witnesses a terrible thing. In despair she runs but her escape is cut short when she gets into a car accident. Luckily, she's rescued by a handsome billionaire, Ethan, who's immediately smitten with her. Ethan offers Sarah a contractual relationship: he'll keep her safe from Alex and provide for her in exchange for her help. His grandfather's company is in need of a new CEO, and Ethan needs Sarah to pretend to be his fiancée to impress the board of directors. Sarah agrees, and as they spend more time together, she falls deeply in love with Ethan. But just as things are going smoothly, a plot twist emerges: Ethan's grandfather's company is actually the same company that Alex works for, and Alex will stop at nothing to sabotage Ethan's chances of becoming CEO. As Sarah and Ethan navigate this treacherous landscape, they must confront their own feelings for each other and work together to outsmart Alex. In the end, they succeed in defeating Alex and securing Ethan's position as CEO. But the biggest surprise comes when Sarah discovers that she's actually the long-lost heiress to Ethan's grandfather's company, and she's the true rightful owner of the CEO position. With this revelation, Sarah and Ethan's relationship is put to the test. Will they be able to overcome the power dynamics and make their love work, or will their differences tear them apart?

Ethan’s Point of view:We drove back home, the hospital visit weighing heavily on Sarah's mind.I glanced over at her.She was silent and deep in thought.Her profile, illuminated by the fading sunlight.Beautiful."Penny for your thoughts?" I asked."Surely you can afford more than a penny for my thoughts," she laughed.Her smile, a brief respite from her worries.I chuckled."You're right.""I'll pay top dollar," I said.Sarah's eyes sparkled."You don't have to pay at all," she replied."Just listen."I nodded."I'm all ears."Sarah's gaze drifted out the window."I was just thinking... my life is changing so much," she said."Emily's always been a constant in my life.""And now..."She trailed off.I waited patiently."Everything feels different," she continued."Meeting you, this pretend engagement....""It's all so surreal."I reached for her hand."I know it's a lot to take in," I said."But I'm here for you."Through all of this.Sarah's eyes met mine."Thanks, Ethan."Her vo
Sarah’s Point of view:During the ride to the restaurant, we were deep in thought.What could be a suitable way of meeting.How does one meet their billionaire boyfriend?"What about we say the truth but tweak it a little?" he suggested."Okay.""So we met when you hit me by accident with your car," I began."Then I rushed you to the hospital because I felt terrible about it and it was the right thing to do ," Ethan added."Instead of just dropping me off, you stayed with me," I continued."Concerned about your well-being," Ethan said."Kept dropping in to check on me," I said."And we bonded over my guilt and your recovery," Ethan finished."I like it," I said."It's close enough to the truth.""But not too revealing of our contract ," Ethan added.“My mum loves a good knight in shining armor story,” He chuckled."We can make it sound romantic," I suggested."Like fate brought us together," Ethan smiled."Exactly.""We started hanging out," I continued. "Then one day, you as
Sarah’s Point of view:I woke up in an unfamiliar place, disoriented for a moment.But then memories flooded back.Moving in with Ethan.Our pretend engagement.Today was the day we'd sign the contract.Make it official.I sat up, taking in my new room.The morning light highlighted its elegant design.Soft cream walls.Rich hardwood floors.A stunning chandelier hung from the ceiling.A floor-to-ceiling window offered a breathtaking view of the garden.Titan scratched the door, whining softly."Okay, buddy," I said, laughing.I opened the door, letting him out.He bounded down the hallway, tail wagging.I smiled, shaking my head.Time to get ready.I freshened up, dressing in a simple yet elegant outfit.A pale blue blouse.Black trousers.My hair styled in loose waves.As I finished, my stomach rumbled.Something smelled amazing.Freshly baked croissants?Coffee?My mouth watered.I followed the scent downstairs.To the kitchen.Where Ethan waited, smiling.Maria, the housekeeper
Sarah’s Point of view:Ethan stood up, his eyes locked on mine."I'll call my lawyer now," he said, pulling out his phone.I nodded, watching as he dialed the number.As he spoke to his lawyer, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.This pretend engagement was exactly what I needed.Protection from Alex.Security.And a chance to start anew.Ethan hung up the phone and turned to me."It's all set," he said. "My lawyer will bring the contract tomorrow."I nodded, feeling a sense of finality.Tomorrow, our agreement would be official."Let's get back to the house," Ethan said, offering his arm.I took it, feeling a strange sense of comfort.As we walked out of the hospital café, I couldn't help but wonder:What would the next six months bring?Would our pretend engagement convince Alex to leave me alone?And what would happen when our contract ended?Would I be ready to face the world alone?Or would I find a new sense of purpose?Only time would tell.We drove back to Emily's and
Sarah’s Point of view: I sat beside Emily's bed, holding her hand and talking softly to her. "Emily, it's me, Sarah. I'm here for you. You're going to wake up, and everything will be okay." Ethan sat in the chair beside me, his eyes fixed on Emily's face. "We're here for you, Em," he said, his voice low. I glanced at Ethan, grateful for his support. "Thank you for being here," I whispered. Ethan smiled. "I'll always be here for you and Emily." As the hours passed, I continued to talk to Emily, sharing memories and stories. I told her about our childhood adventures, our laughter, and our tears. I reminded her of our promises to each other, of our unbreakable bond. Ethan listened quietly, his eyes never leaving Emily's face. Occasionally, a nurse would come in to check on Emily, but otherwise, we were alone. The hospital room was quiet, except for the beeping of machines and Emily's steady breathing. Ethan's voice broke the silence. "Sarah
Sarah’s Point of view:After the drama with Alex earlier that morning, Emily and I decided to continue with our day."I've got to run, Sarah. Can't be late for the shoot," Emily said, hurrying around the room, gathering her belongings."I'll stay here, catch up on some reading," I replied, settling onto the couch with a book.Emily stopped in front of the mirror, checking her makeup."Sure you don't want to come with? Might take your mind off things."I shook my head."Nah, I'm good. Besides, Titan needs company."Emily smiled."Alright, darling. Take care. I'll see you tonight.""I'll be back early to get ready for our discussion with Ethan," she said, grabbing her bag."Sounds good," I replied, walking her to the door."Be careful today," I added, concern etched on my face.Emily rolled her eyes good-naturedly."I always am, mom," she teased.I chuckled."Love you.""Love you too," Emily replied, giving me a quick hug.With one last glance, Emily hurried out the door.I closed it b
Sarah’s Point of view: I woke up to Titan's frantic barking, the sound echoing through the house. At first, I thought it was just a reaction to a stray animal outside. But as the barks grew louder and more insistent, I knew something was wrong. I threw off the covers and rushed out of my bedroom, my heart racing. The barking was coming from the living room. I quickened my pace, my senses on high alert. As I entered the living room, I saw Titan standing at the window, his fur standing on end. His eyes were fixed on something outside. I followed his gaze, and my blood ran cold. Alex. He was standing outside, his face twisted in anger. In his hand, he clutched a bunch of papers. The divorce papers. "What the fuck is this, Sarah?" he shouted, his voice muffled by the glass. "You think you can divorce me?" "You think I'll let you go?" Titan's barks turned ferocious, as if sensing my fear. Emily emerged from her room, rubbing her eyes.
Ethan’s Point of view: I pulled out my phone and dialed Cameron's number. "Hey, man," Cameron answered on the first ring. "Hey," I replied. "Need to clear my head. Want to hit the links?" "Black Ace?" Cameron suggested, referring to his family's exclusive country club. "Perfect." We made plans to meet at Black Ace in an hour. I arrived at the club, the familiar sight of the manicured greens and rolling hills calming my nerves. I pulled into the golf club's parking lot, spotting Cameron's sleek black SUV already parked. I grabbed my phone and slid out of the car, feeling a mix of frustration and hope. The discussion with Sarah hadn't gone as smoothly as I'd hoped. She'd raised valid concerns, and I couldn't blame her. But she hadn't outrightly rejected the idea. That was something. Cameron greeted me with a firm handshake as we walked to the first tee. "What's on your mind?" he asked, noticing my distraction. I took a deep breath. "Had a conversation w
