Contract Marriage
I had just one assignment. Go in. Find out the truth, document it, and leave. I wasn't meant to be emotionally attached, or stay more than a year. Neither was I supposed to care about his hidden charm personality he kept away from the public. I was not meant to fall in love with the man I came to destroy. In a room crowded with people, Adrian Tao pointed at me in front of everyone who had never bothered to know my name, and said “her,” and the plan I had been working on for three years cracked right down the middle. He thought he had chosen the safest choice. The calm secretary, the woman who isn't demanding, emotionally and materially. He has no idea who he's dealing with. And the longer I stay, the more terrified I am of what happens the day he finds out. Because I know secrets about his family that could bring down their empire. I know things about him that I was never meant to discover. And I know that when the truth is eventually revealed, he will stare at me the same way he did this morning over coffee, like I am truly the first thing that has ever happened to him in years. But by then, it won't matter anymore, everything will already be ruined. Some secrets keep you safe, some destroy you. And some you carry for a long time and they stop feeling like lies, you begin to feel they are the only true thing you have left.

The Playboy's Forced Bride Chapter 89: Peace
I got home and Adrian was not there. A note waited on the kitchen counter in his neat, efficient handwriting. The kind I had learned by heart without ever meaning to. It said he had a late meeting and would be back at nine, just three short lines. At the bottom, he wrote his phone number out of habit, even though I had known it for eighteen months.I stood at the counter and read the note twice. Then I folded it carefully and slipped it into my pocket.I had two hours.I could have used them to prepare, I could have sat down and arranged the words in the perfect order. I could have rehearsed the conversation in my head the way I prepared for big interviews or tough meetings. My whole career has taught me that the best truths come from careful planning. You thought through every angle so the words landed clean and strong.But I did not prepare.Instead, I made a cup of tea. I carried it to the sitting room and settled into the chair by the window. I sat there with the decision I had ma

I took the long way home that afternoon, I didn’t mean to. I left Daniel’s building and started walking the usual route, but I kept going a different way without noticing at first. The busy financial district slowly turned into quieter streets behind the main roads. Those side streets felt different in the Friday light; calmer and just ordinary.The eleven days Daniel gave me hung beside me. I allowed them to come, I did not push the thought away. For once I let my mind turn it over slowly while my legs kept moving.I had been thinking about the wrong conversation all this time. That truth hit me somewhere between the third and fourth block. It came with a sharp kind of clarity that only shows up when you have walked far enough to let your guard down. I had spent weeks imagining how I would confess everything to Adrian, I pictured myself sitting across from him in the apartment, laying out the facts like a careful report. I would manage the damage, control the explosion, and limit how

I called Iris from the street right outside Daniel’s building. It was not a planned call. My hand pulled out the phone and found her name before my mind had fully decided. Sometimes your body moves first when your thoughts have been carrying too much for too long. It needs to act before the usual doubts can catch up.She answered on the third ring.“Harper.” Her voice came through warm and quick. “Are you free?” I asked.There was a short pause. I heard a door close and the background noise faded. She had stepped away to give me her full attention even before I said why I was calling.That was Iris.“I’m free,” she said.I talked for a long time. At first, I did not mention Adrian directly. I moved around it as I had been doing for months. I spoke about the edges, the story, the evidence, the deadline, and Daniel. The lunch with Cecily and the way Nathaniel had been watching me. The cover that was cracking in places I could not fix fast enough.I told her about the victim file, the fo

Daniel called me into the office on Friday. It was not a polite request. He sent a calendar invitation with a time and an address but no subject line. That empty subject line said everything. I had worked with Daniel for six years, and I knew his signals. I went anyway.His office sat on the fourteenth floor of a building in the financial district. When I walked in, he was already behind his desk. He did not get up to meet me at the door, which told me this would be a direct conversation. Desk conversations with Daniel were never soft.“Sit down,” he said.I sat.He studied me across the desk, his face was calm but serious. Daniel was never hostile, but direct. “I’ve been reviewing the reports,” he said.I waited.“The timeline. All the documentation you sent me over the seven months I’ve held this slot open.” There was a folder on his desk. He did not open it, he did not need to. The folder itself was part of the message, “The story has been complete for at least six weeks. Probabl
