LOGINHe made the rules. She signed them just to break every one. When ruthless billionaire Japhet Lukers demands a marriage of convenience, he adds two impossible conditions — no love and no touch. But Anastasia Chris has never been the type to follow orders. Forced into a contract that trades her freedom for her father’s ambitions, she vows to make Japhet regret underestimating her. He wants control. She wants revenge. But somewhere between the lies, power games, and stolen glances, their fake vows start to burn too real. In a world where trust is a weapon and passion is forbidden, who will fall first — the cold-hearted CEO or the defiant bride who swore to ruin him? A steamy, fast-paced tale of revenge, obsession, and a marriage neither of them saw coming.
View MoreAna’s POVWhile I was having a conversation with my mother-in-law and father-in-law, I noticed Japhet leaving with Alex and his beautiful secretary. That secretary was definitely being touchy with him and even tried to brush her body against his. Yet Japhet pretended not to notice her and continued chatting with her.She sat in the back seat with Japhet in the car too. Oh God, I’m freaking out with jealousy. Is it normal for wives to get angry when other women flirt with their husbands? I thought, clenching my fists while hiding my emotions pretty well in front of my in-laws.“Shall we now leave our mansion?” Ken Lukers, my father-in-law, asked in a concerned voice. His hazel eyes looked straight into my soul and I would be lying if I said Ken is not frightening. Now it makes sense why Japhet has an intimidating persona.“Honey, stop giving dead stares to my daughter-in-law,” Victoria, my mother-in-law, scolded Ken and then said to me softly, “Don’t mind my husband and son’s rudeness.
Japhet’s POVI was about to enter Ana’s bedroom when I heard her crying. I took a step back and returned to my bedroom and sat down on the sofa with my face covered in my palms.Recalling the past made me feel bitter. I was too quick to reject Ana’s love confession. I thought she was trying to put on another play with me out of jealousy.“I shouldn’t have rejected her confession. It must be hard for her to prepare and say all that stuff. I have broken her heart and she probably hates me now,” I murmured, regretting my decision.I failed to recognise her genuine love for me. And how the fuck did I reply to her? Man, I was too rude and straightforward.“Boss, stop crying in the past. Why not go to her and ask for forgiveness?” Alex suggested while packing my luggage.I raised my face and asked in a tensed voice, “Do you believe she will forgive me? What if that only makes her hate me more?”“She will not forgive you obviously. You rejected her and now you are sorry for rejecting her. Sh
Ana’s POVI couldn’t help but look at the dedication Japhet showed towards me. Others wouldn’t ever believe it if I said that the billionaire CEO of the Lukers group massaged my feet.They’ll probably think I’m boosting lies to get the acknowledgement of the media.Whatever it is, I don’t even plan on sharing this. Suddenly my heart raced as his hand moved up to my thighs. Turning my face to the other side, I asked awkwardly, “I’m feeling better now. You can return to your bedroom and rest.”“Ahem! Are you sure?” He instantly removed his hands from my thighs. I noticed his blushing face while his hazel eyes stared into my eyes.“Yes, Japhet,” I softly replied. He didn’t say anything and returned back to his bedroom. When he was gone, I flipped the blanket, burying my face in the pillow. My heart was beating rapidly as if it would burst out of my ribcage any second. The tension between me and Japhet was unavoidable, I wondered if he was interested in me or wanted to humiliate me furthe
Japhet POV"What's wrong with her?" Ana's friends asked as I carried Ana. She got drunk and lost consciousness due to the strong alcoholic effect of champagne.I can't be more annoyed than this. I was just trying to mock her but she instead kissed some random dude. I glanced back at the man who was kissed by Ana. He almost fell down and started begging for forgiveness.I ignored him and found myself a seat in the corner of the clubhouse while Ana’s friends accompanied me. I dialled Alex's number and to my surprise he appeared in front of me instantly.Narrowing down my eyes at Alex I asked, "Were you following me?""Yes."He didn't even hesitate to accept the truth. I forced myself to smile and keep calm. I can't possibly curse at Alex and cause more harm to my reputation."Take my wife back to the mansion and prepare for our departure," I asked, handing over Ana into Alex's arms.He looked at me confusingly for a few seconds then asked me to accompany him outside. I don't know how he
