The Devil CEO's Contract Wife Novel

Catherine Lane enjoyed a seemingly perfect life in Midnight City as secretary to Ares King, the elusive billionaire known as the devil CEO. However, beneath the surface, Catherine was drowning in debt and facing ruin. Seeking to escape harassment, she decided to quit her job. To add to her woes, her boyfriend cheated on her, deeming her a lost cause. Desperate and heartbroken, Catherine receives an unexpected proposition from her boss, Ares King: "Become my wife for one year." Intrigued by this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, despite her reservations about dealing with the "devil," Catherine questions his motives. King's response is simple: "Because we work, Ms. Lane." As they review the contract, Catherine discovers a crucial special clause: she must not fall for her husband. Any breach will nullify their agreement. King insists this clause is non-negotiable, believing their arrangement is purely professional and emotional attachments are prohibited.
