LOGINRosa never imagined that her quiet, ordinary life would be turned upside down by colliding with a billionaire. Literally. After an unexpected incident, Alexander Wade, icy CEO and heir to a vast company, suggests a contract marriage to fulfill a clause in his grandfather’s will, she agrees reluctantly as it was the only hope she could find. To Alexander, it was simple: marry, inherit, move on. But nothing about Rosa is simple. With every stolen glance and every unexpected moment, the line between pretend and reality begins to blur. Suddenly, it’s not just about signatures and legalities. It’s about feelings he never intended to feel. But when his glamorous ex, Daphne, returns and his manipulative mother schemes to tear them apart, Rosa and Alexander's fragile connection is tested. Secrets resurface, betrayal cuts deep, and love is no longer enough on its own. Now, Alexander must make a choice; hold onto the past he's always known… or fight for the woman who unexpectedly stole his heart.
View MoreThe city of New York was restless. Well, did it ever rest? It moved faster than usual, as though it knew something big was coming. And sure it was.Headlines whispered it, billboards hinted at it and social media screamed it. Alexander Wade was getting married to Rosa Hamon, on September fifth. Not just married. Married again, for real this time.The news traveled like fire. From office buildings to cafés, from taxis to apartments. People talked, speculated and waited. It was being called the wedding of the century.And weeks before the ceremony, the city began to receive guests.Rosa stood by the large window of the living room, watching cars line up at the front of the mansion. Her heart beat faster with every passing second.“They’re here,” she whispered.Alexander walked up behind her, resting his hands on her shoulders. “Are you nervous?”She chuckled. “No. I just can't wait to meet them again."He smiled. “They are just seconds away."Outside, the first car door opened.Nardine
The night had fully claimed the mansion and everyone slept in soft silence, except Alexander.Rosa slept peacefully on the bed, with one arm tucked beneath the pillow and her breathing slow and even. Her face was relaxed, free of worry or any thoughts. The soft lamp beside the bed cast a gentle glow across her features.Alexander sat on the edge of the bed, his back against the headboard as he watched her for a moment, his chest tightening with affection.She looked so beautiful.He brushed a strand of hair away from her face, careful not to wake her. She stirred slightly, murmured something unintelligible, then settled again. Alexander smiled faintly. He could watch her all night.Then his phone vibrated and he glanced at the screen. Javin. His expression immediately shifted.Carefully, Alexander slipped out of bed, moving slowly so the mattress wouldn’t dip too much and wake up Rosa.He pulled on a shirt, grabbed his phone, and stepped out onto the room's balcony, closing the glass
If anxiety and happiness was a person, it had Rosa's face. The next morning she was so hyperactive that Alexander kept on laughing.She hadn’t slept much the previous nights. Her thoughts had kept circling, returning again and again to the same place. Her father, New Jersey, everything.She turned on her side as she laid on the bed and reached for her phone.There was only one person she wanted to call right now.nHer aunt.Rosa hesitated for a second, then pressed the call button. The phone rang twice before it was answered.“Rosa?” Nardine’s familiar voice came through, warm and concerned. “Is everything alright?”Rosa swallowed. “Auntie… good morning. How are you?”“I'm good, my dear. And you?”“Okay too,” she took a deep breath.“Hm? Are you sure everything is okay?”“Yeah,” Rosa nodded, “well I have news.”There was a pause. “You’re worrying me, Rosa. What happened?”Rosa closed her eyes. “Alexander found my father.” “What?!”“Yeah. Exactly my reaction. He’s alive,” Rosa said so
Rosa couldn’t quite pinpoint Alexander’s words and she frowned. Her father…had been found?“W..what did you say?”Alexander leaned back slightly, gathering his thoughts. He had rehearsed this in his mind a hundred times on the drive home, but now that the moment was here, he just felt limp. Well, he hadn't really planned on telling her today, had he?“You remember Javin?” he began, deciding to take it slow.Rosa nodded, with a gulp. “Your investigator.” The man who had investigated her past. “Yes.” He exhaled. “You know I told him to look for your father.”Rosa nodded. “Yes.”“Well, during your birthday… I got a call. And he told me there's a lead.”Rosa blinked. Her fingers tightened around his.Alexander nodded slowly. “Rosa, I know this is a lot. I know you may be having bitter sweet feelings. I just didn't want to direct the topic immediately. I wanted to approach it carefully. I'm sorry I didn't tell you these past few days.”Her heart began to pound. She couldn't believe this.
