LOGINForced by unexpected circumstances, Bianca North enters a contract marriage with the cold and calculating Theo Harrington. What begins as a deal—pride for her, obligation for him—quickly turns dangerous as buried secrets surface and emotions blur the rules. Caught between duty and desire, one wrong choice could change their lives forever.
View MoreHe just popped into my mind. It's easy and convenient, Theo said nonchalantly before heading into the study. Aunty Linda approached with a warm smile. "Such a lovely young couple." Bianca froze. Aunty Linda, are we living in the same house? How on earth did you arrive at that conclusion? Deciding it was best not to continue this bizarre conversation, Bianca hurried upstairs and moved her belongings into a spare guest room. By 10:00 p.m., she noticed Theo still had not left the study. Perhaps he's troubled by my court case, she thought. It was indeed a difficult one. Feeling a pang of guilt, she went to the kitchen and prepared a bowl of oat porridge. After carefully arranging it on a tray, she walked to the study and knocked softly on the door. "Come in." With his permission, she stepped inside. Theo sat at his desk, his glasses perched on the bridge of h
Where is she" out? Theo's frown deepened as he scanned the room. Aunty Linda looked slightly taken aback. She hasn't come downstairs since going into your room. I think she might be sleeping. Theo raised a curious eyebrow. In my room? How bold of her to make herself comfortable so quickly. The mere thought of her lounging in his private space sent a surge of irritation through him. Was she so eager to draw him in that she couldn't even wait? Impertinent woman. Though he had decided to keep her by his side, he had not agreed to share the same room. Displeased, Theo strode upstairs to his bedroom. The door was ajar. Without hesitation, he stepped inside. His gaze immediately fell on her half-open luggage lying on the floor. Something small and out of place caught his attention. His lips curled into a mischievous smirk as he picked it up. Well, well, she came prepared
As sister in law. It's been a long while. The office door swung open abruptly, and Daniel strode in confidently, his casual smile freezing as his eyes landed on the scene before him. Bianca sprang off Theo's lap. Her face flushed with embarrassment. She stood awkwardly, brushing imaginary lint off her dress, while Theo sat back in his chair. His expression a dangerous mix of annoyance and defiance. Theo's sharp gaze locked on Daniel. His cheeks faintly flushed, a rare betrayal of his composure. "You do not understand the concept of knocking." His tone was as icy as a winter storm. "Um, sorry. I didn't see anything." Daniel stammered, retreating hastily and shutting the door with a snap behind him. Outside, he pressed his back against the door and exhaled loudly. "I shouldn't have come." He had feared Theo might lash out at Bianca, given his notorious temper. But clearly his concerns were misplaced. He ch
What did you call me? Theo's voice cut through the room, his pen tapping rhythmically against the desk. The sound carried a sharp edge of intimidation. Caught off guard, Bianca blinked. Theo's lips curled into a cold smile, but his displeasure remained etched on his face. Bianca hesitated, unsure of what to say. What is going on in this man's head? she wondered. Felix, observing the tension, suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. One of them was too proud, the other too clueless. Their dynamic was maddening to watch. Miss North, he interjected, why don't you call him like you used to? A light bulb went off in Bianca's head. Hubby, she ventured cautiously. The air seemed to thicken as Theo's gaze sharpened.
