Adrian typed furiously on his keyboard, anger wrapping its claws around him as he heard the whispers of his colleagues.

​"Did you see that? She's the first woman to visit the boss at the company," a hushed voice said.

​"You haven't heard? They're getting married," another voice replied, sounding confident.

​Adrian's fingers paused above the keyboard as he heard those whispers, his brows creasing. He glanced behind him at Alexander's door and frowned. It had been a minute since Chloe followed hi

    Alexander stood frozen, his mind scrambling to process the lightning-fast, escalating chaos.​Chloe's sudden, dramatic intrusion and the wildly inappropriate accusation of theft were shocking enough, but the sight of Adrian—his usually composed, timid secretary—losing his temper and flipping Chloe a double middle finger was utterly surreal.​Then came the sharp, sickening sound of impact. Adrian's scream was cut short as he hit the floor. The sight of blood and the immediate, predatory move by Chloe—her heel poised for another strike—shattered the paralysis that held Alexander.​Chloe had crossed a line. This wasn't professional sabotage or emotional drama; this was violence in his office.​A deep, primal roar tore from Alexander's chest—a sound more animal than man.​In a single, fluid motion, he moved.​He didn't grab Chloe; he body-checked her. Alexander slammed into Chloe's side with enough force to send her staggering back against the wall, the impact rattling a framed certificat

    Alexander stepped out of the elevator, his tailored suit a stark contrast to the coiled rage radiating off him. The chaotic scene stopped him dead in his tracks.​His usually pristine administrative floor was a mess of hushed voices and flashing phone screens. A crowd of his staff, usually terrified into stillness by his presence, was clustered around Adrian's desk.​"What is this spectacle?" Alexander's voice, though low, cut through the noise like a whip.​The staff immediately scrambled away, dropping their phones and scattering back to their stations, their faces pale with guilt. The only person who remained unmoving was Adrian. But it wasn't because he wasn't moved by Alexander's presence; he was simply asleep.​Adrian was quietly lying over his cheek, resting in his hand, and his lips parted slightly.​Alexander strode toward the desk, his eyes narrowing as he took in his secretary's situation, his gaze drawn to Adrian's calm face. For the first time, he was seeing Adrian withou

    Alexander walked into the bedroom, expecting to see Adrienne shamelessly lying on his bed after refusing his offer last night.​However, he was met with an empty room.​He frowned, his grip on the pillow tightening as anger set in.​"How dare you, Adrienne? You leave without my notice," he murmured and flung a pillow on the bed.​He paced the room and clutched the sides of his head in frustration.​'Where the fuck am I to tell mother that my wife went so early?' He grimaced as he suddenly realised that he knew nothing about this said wife.​He didn't know her home, if she had other jobs, or a relationship.​"Fuck," He clenched his jaw and glanced at the chaise lounge as if it were guilty for the situation.​He quickly got his phone and sent a message to someone. It was about time he dug into the life of his wife. He had been so desperate to marry that he overlooked the necessary details.​What if Adrienne were a spy from a rival, sent to gather information about his life and work? And

    A shadow of a smile touched his lips—not a kind smile, but a triumphant one. "You signed a contract with me, Adrienne. The contract is clear that the money covers my needs. Your 'no intimacy' clause is conditional on my public needs. Tonight, my need is to ensure my mother believes we are a happily married couple sharing a room."​He turned and walked over to the large, luxurious wardrobe built into the wall.​"You will not be sharing my bed, Adrienne," he said, pulling out a dark silk robe and tossing it onto the bed near her. "But you will be sleeping in the chaise lounge over there." He pointed to a velvet chaise tucked into a corner, framed by the dark curtains.​"The bathroom is through that door. Your luggage is not here—Lawrence will purchase what you need and bring it to the door, and you will not step out of this room until morning. You're under my surveillance now. No more games, and no more mistakes."​He turned back, his expression utterly detached. He was Adrian's boss ag

    Adrienne hesitated for a while and finally dragged her legs over to the bed. She sat down, crossing her sexy, slim legs.​"Yes, Papi—"​"Don't call me that; I hate it," he snapped, locking his serious eyes with hers.​Adrienne sighed and nodded; she could tell it was time to get serious. "I understand. What do I call you when we're alone? I just need to make sure I'm following all your rules here," she said quietly.​"Alexander is fine," he replied, drumming his fingers on his knee—a habit he suddenly realized he'd learned from watching a certain someone.​"Fuck," he muttered under his breath.​"What?" Adrienne asked.​Alexander shook his head. "Listen. I know you're trying to play your part. But don't overdo it. What you did with my mom down there was over the top. Do you understand?" he asked sternly.​Adrienne furrowed her brows. "Over the top? I just wanted her not to suspect us. You were being so... so rigid. If I didn't act, she would have suspected something." She took her chan

    The atmosphere in the luxurious living room had morphed from a tense stage to a cozy, emotional trap.​Adrienne's mind was racing, her carefully constructed defenses dissolving under the unexpected warmth of Mrs. Devereux's approval and the glaring silence of the unscripted question.​"Tell me, Adrienne, how did you two meet for the first time?"​Adrienne's head snapped toward Alexander, her eyes silently screaming the words: HELP ME, YOU IDIOT!​Alexander, however, was still momentarily paralyzed, not by the question, but by the echo of Adrian's secret look in Adrienne's face. The fleeting softness in her eyes—the genuine wish behind her "till death do us part"—had rattled his detached armor.​He caught the desperate plea in her green eyes and the sudden sheen of panic on her forehead. He knew this was the critical moment.​Before Adrienne could utter the wrong, contradictory word, Alexander smoothly leaned forward, his arm tightening around her waist and pulling her hip to his.​He
