Novel Web Romance & Cerita Artist Contract Marriage

After a tragic accident killed her father and made her mother unconscious, Anna was thinking about how to raise money for her mother's treatment when she met Lewis Cole, an intelligent billionaire who needs a wife to secure his inheritance before his thirty-second birthday. Anna seems to be a perfect candidate, but she was not interested in Lewis because she has a crush on Lewis’s brother, Stefan. Desperate, Anna takes Lewis’s one-year contract marriage offer. She soon finds out that living with a traumatized man is not easy, especially when his presence awakens feelings she never knew she had. Lewis shows her affection in public but is cold in private. He tries to keep their relationship professional, but the woman he once kissed in a drunken state turns out to be more than a convenient bride. Their budding relationship was ruined when Annabelle was discovered pregnant... and Lewis is not the one responsible. An anonymous envelope of unexpected truths and plots of manipulation and betrayal comes to further shake the foundation of their trust. Can a marriage built on contract survive the truth, or will their pasts destroy their chance at a real future? Will they find love after marriage or separate and become strangers?

When a leaked single threatens to end her career, pop star Rhea Santiago is forced into a PR-engineered relationship with Cole, a guarded ghostwriter secretly paying off a debt he refuses to explain. Their contract has strict rules, no real feelings, cameras only, an end date, but forced proximity turns performance into something neither of them planned for. Behind it all is Evelyn Cross, the label president’s wife, who discovered Rhea years ago and believes she still owns her success; Cole’s carefully buried past turns out to be tangled in Evelyn’s control too, and unraveling it costs both of them dearly before they can trust each other for real. What follows is decades, not months: marriage, children shaped by the wounds Rhea and Cole carry from their own childhoods, the identity crisis of loving someone whose fame or usefulness threatens to swallow you whole, and the slow work of becoming parents neither of them had. When Cole is finally diagnosed with a terminal illness, the book’s real question comes due, not whether love can defeat death, but whether Rhea can survive losing him and still call her own life whole. She does. Not because he saved her, but because he helped her discover she could save herself.

Out of desperation to keep her cheating fiance, Samantha pretended to be terminally ill as she was the only one who was interested in their relationship. She thought it was effective since Brandon has been giving her attention. But her assistant's work proved her wrong, when she sent her photos of Brandon and a pregnant woman. Her world collapsed when she saw it with her two eyes. That moment, it felt like she was going to be ill for real. Until she accidentally bumped into Brandon’s uncle, Gavin Palma, when she left Brandon’s house. A mere physical contact that changed the trajectory of Gavin’s life, leading him to meet Samantha, his nephew’s ex. It was almost impossible for him to feel aroused, until that woman appeared before his eyes and their skin touched. As though the stars aligned, Samantha found a sweet vengeful idea when she learned who that man was when they crossed paths in the bar.

His voice was low, meant only for me, and it made me ache, I was soaked, embarrassingly so. His other hand was flat against the desk behind me, caging me in, and I could feel the heat of him from inches away. "Like what?" I whispered. "Like you want me to ruin you."
