Hidden Marriage With Boss Novels & Stories

In reality, I was just a coward trying to keep my father from finding out that his son had a taste for the very man supposed to marry into the family. I was twenty-one years old, a Harvard grad, an heir to a billion-dollar empire, and now? Now I was a glorified babysitter for a Russian hockey star who looked at me like I was a stain on his clothes. A "Personal Performance Consultant." It was a joke. I was a guard. A watchdog. I couldn't stay in the apartment anymore. The walls felt like they were closing in, and the silence was too loud. I threw on a pair of jeans, a plain black hoodie, and a baseball cap, hoping to hide myself and try not to attract attention.

Sarah's name stared up at me like a lifeline—and a chain. The bills were real. I didn’t need to read them to know that. I'd lived them. Watched them pile up on the kitchen counter while I juggle two jobs and still came up short. And now, out of nowhere, my boss—the cold, sarcastic, workaholic, detached man wanted me to marry him? A year. A year of pretending. Of smiling for cameras and faking a life that wasn’t mine. For money. For Sarah and Grace. I removed my glasses and buried my face in my hands out of frustration.

“But imagine… imagine working your whole life for something, struggling, hustling… only for someone you love to use her body to get there instead.” A gasp emoji storm filled the chat. “And the worst part?” I pressed a hand to my chest dramatically. “She’s moving in with her BOSS. Yes. Moving. In. With. Him. I saw the car myself.” The comment section was a nuclear meltdown. OMG THAT’S SO UNETHICAL Wait, isn't he like CRAZY rich?? So she’s like a sugar baby?? Girl that’s illegal in some workplaces WTF I smiled. It wasn’t joy….it was satisfaction.

The diamond caught the light immediately and my stomach twisted. “Well,” I muttered quietly while staring at it. “If this is fake marriage jewelry then real marriage jewelry must come with armed security.” He ignored the comment, closing the velvet box and slipping it back into his pocket. “Listen carefully,” he said. Ah. There it was. The boss voice. I folded my arms. “I’m listening.” “Tonight,” he said calmly, “you and I are deeply in love.” I blinked. “Respectfully?

Maybe I had been too quick to reject it. Another thought followed. Quin could have fired me. When he thought I was working with someone against him. When he believed the marriage might have been some kind of setup. But Instead, he offered a deal. A ridiculous one at that, but still a deal. I sighed. “Fantastic.” My life had officially reached the point where fake marriage to my boss was starting to look like the most reasonable option.

one of the leading companies in the country though I knew it was just a front to smuggle their shipments in and out of the country It was a perfect cover but behind it, shipments moved. Deals were made. People disappeared. “The Boss will be back when he seems fit Miss,” she continued with a polite smile. “If you need him, you can speak with him then.”. I had one night. I had to think, to figure out how to survive marrying a man I’d never chosen in a world I never wanted. I forced a polite nod. “Thank you.” I picked up the teacup, but my hands trembled so badly the liquid rippled. I set it down untouched.

"Excuse me?" Noah let out a low whistle. "Damn. And here I thought my hacking skills were top-tier. How the hell did you keep that a secret?" Beckett looked at Liam, wide-eyed. "So, wait. The proposal was just for show? Then who's the real wife?" George leaned in, enjoying their reactions. "She’s twenty." Beckett nearly choked on his drink. "Oh, so it’s a scandal too. The cold, untouchable Liam Hart has been secretly playing house with a college girl. What’s next? You got a toddler running around too?"

Cute is not usually the word to describe a person like Hayes but seeing how excited he was made my heart flutter but there was a nagging thought at the back of my head. I just did not know how to deal with it, what to do. I should be happy that I have a man who is this excited to marry me but it was all fake and besides his mother had made it clear that I would only marry her son if I got pregnant. I know ever since the day Hayes was able to acquire my boss' former company, our relationship has gotten significantly better, but that did not stop the looming reality of our lives. “Hayes.. I think we are moving a little bit too fast. Have you forgotten your mum's ultimatum?”

But was security enough reason to marry? "I wouldn't want to be a burden," she whispered to herself as she piped delicate rosettes onto a row of desserts. Justin was her employer, her rescuer in many ways. Would accepting his mother's proposal seem like she was taking advantage of their kindness? And what about Justin himself?
