Chapter 2

Opening the company group chat, I found it had already exploded. Messages tagging me had blown past ninety-nine notifications.

"Betty, maybe you're misunderstanding? Ronald and Christina are just colleagues."

"Exactly—Christina's just a young girl, fresh out of college. Don't scare her like that."

"Betty, Ronald has always been so good to you. How could you publicly humiliate him?"

A wave of nausea hit me as I scrolled through the twisted, sycophantic comments. Half of these people were ones I’d personally hired and mentored from the ground up; now, to curry favor with the boss and his new flame, they were turning their knives on me without a second thought.

I didn’t reply. Instead, I opened Ronald’s social media feed.

Beneath that glaring post, the comments section had become a stage for loyalty pledges.

"Ronald and Christina are such a perfect match! A true power couple!"

"Christina is so lucky to have a boss like Ronald looking out for her."

Underneath, Christina had left a uniform reply, complete with a bashful emoji: "Thank you, everyone! But Ronald and I really are just colleagues. He’s always treated me like a big brother, that’s all."

The cloying sweetness of her performance practically seeped through the screen.

I let out a cold laugh, then compiled everything for my lawyer: the post, my receipt for the pajamas, the original design drafts, and close-ups of the embroidered initials. Every detail.

Then, calmly, I typed my final message into the company chat:

"To everyone: effective today, I am resigning from all my positions at Oceanview Translations. Thank you for the six years. Our paths diverge here. Wishing you all the best on yours."

I sent it, then exited every work group, silenced my phone, and tossed it aside.

Finally. Peace.

Contract Marriage: The CEO's Silent Shield Novel Cover
7.9
Aunt Lydia told me that if I didn't secure the loan shark Mr. Jareth tonight, I’d be sleeping on the street. I stood outside the brass doors of the restaurant, my lungs refusing to expand, my hands shaking so violently that my gray wool skirt blurred in my vision. I was supposed to sell my soul to a monster to pay off my family’s debts. But when I sat down at Table 12, I didn't find a man in a leather jacket smelling of stale beer. Instead, I found a man in a bespoke suit who smelled of cedarwood and cold winter air, a man who looked at me like a specimen under a microscope. "Sit down," he commanded, his voice a deep rumble that vibrated in my chest. Before I could realize I was at the wrong table, he had already signaled the staff to throw the real loan shark out into the street. Then, he slid a blank black card across the table and offered me a deal: a marriage of convenience to satisfy his board of directors in exchange for my total protection. I signed the contract and moved into a penthouse he claimed belonged to his "boss," trying to play the part of the quiet, broken wife. But the lies were too loud to ignore. He called a half-million-dollar bottle of wine a "Costco blend" and claimed his $4 million Patek Philippe watch was a cheap replica. He thought he was protecting a helpless, mute girl, but he had no idea who I really was. I didn't understand why this "manager" had the police commissioner on speed dial or why he was tracking my every move with hidden cameras. While he was busy playing the savior, I was secretly logging onto the dark web as "The Surgeon," the only medical genius capable of treating the chronic, agonizing migraines he kept hidden from the world. The truth finally exploded when the loan shark cornered us at my aunt’s estate. As I held a corkscrew to a killer’s throat with surgical precision, I saw the mask slip from my husband’s face. I realized then that I hadn't just married a businessman—I had married the most dangerous man in New York, and he was currently wiring thousands of dollars to me to save his life.
