Clarissa Jonas couldn't believe she agreed to enter into a contract marriage with a complete stranger who happens to also be a billionaire. She's never heard of him, never seen or met him until that day at her best friend's birthday party. She noticed he was watching her throughout the event and shrugged it off. He shortly afterwards had proposed a short term marriage arrangement to her with the explanation as to why. She felt sympathetic for his reasoning, and thought it wouldn't harm anything by doing this favor. What she didn't understand was out of all the women he could have, could have picked, he picked her. That was until she found out the truth to the secrets he was hiding. And so the game of hide and seek began.

You Would Never Know
Ignoring the dreariness that followed her, she left everything behind and drowned herself in a lifestyle that consisted of constant jet lag and days of sleepless nights. And deep down, she was aware her only survival mechanism was to run away and not look back, even if all she wanted to do was take one more glance at the one who was deserving of a stargazer, not a withering being with nebulous ideas for salvation. After nearly a decade of evasion, Dali realizes this isn't the place she's supposed to be and decides to take a leap of faith back to where everything started, not knowing that she'd be busy unraveling the web of lies created by the unexpected. Maybe it's because love, lies, and loyalty blend well in high society; you can't even decipher who's a friend and who's a foe.Complete
Until We Belong
"𝑰'𝒎 𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓" They signed a contract but fate wrote the rest. People make deals. People break rules. And sometimes, people end up signing a marriage contract they definitely did not plan for. One wants a company, the other wants a dream. A year-long arrangement seemed simple enough-benefits all around, zero emotional attachment, and a clearly defined end date. What could possibly go wrong? Turns out, everything. Fake smiles, staged dinners, shared roof... suddenly "pretending" feels a lot less harmless, and "just business" starts to blur in the most inconvenient ways. Add a past that refuses to stay buried-love lost too soon, a heart that learned to armor itself-and a future that can't wait, and you've got chaos wrapped in tailored suits and violin strings. Love, it seems, has a funny way of ignoring contracts. And stubborn hearts? They don't read the fine print. •••••• "𝐍𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭?" "𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞."
Another Man's Treasure
"You've become so damaged that when someone tries to give you what you deserve, you have no idea how to respond." He says taking a step closer to me. I frown. "So, it's my fault? That I'm to blame for being damaged?" "No, it's not your fault at all, but it is your fault for believing you don't deserve better. That you don't deserve to be happy." Nathan looks away from my eyes, inhaling. "Maybe the little things that you consider your weakness are actually the things that people treasure most about you. Maybe you hate that you care too much...or that you wear your heart on your sleeve. But seriously, some people think that's the best damn thing about you. We all have different little things that make up who we are, we don't need to change those things, but we can choose who we share them with." "What are you saying?" Now so close to me, he places his palm on my cheek, and whispers. "You're treasure, Madison...I hope you realize that." ________ Nathan Lane a Billionaire heartthrob who has everything in his life.
