She's temporary on paper.
One year. That's the deal. Capital for her company. A wife for my board. Clean. Controlled. No claims.
She signs it with blood in her eyes and a spine that doesn't bend for anyone—least of all me.
Now she lives in my penthouse, wears my ring, and fights me for every inch of control I try to take. She keeps her company. She keeps her name. She keeps looking at me like she's already counting the days until she walks.
I was supposed to use her and walk away clean.
Instead I'm watching the way she claims space in rooms that used to belong only to me. Listening for her voice. Learning the exact second she stops performing and starts wanting.
The year is ticking. The board is watching. And every time she says my name like a challenge, the temporary part of this arrangement starts to feel like the one lie I'm no longer willing to keep.
When the clock hits zero, she's not leaving.
Read on for marriage of convenience, temporary wife, billionaire obsession, forced proximity that turns permanent, and a man who will burn his empire before he lets her walk. HEA Guaranteed!
