Beyond The Plan

"What? You dared to call me a gold digger? Do you believe I'm interested in your pitiful existence and your worthless wealth?!" she exclaimed, her voice laced with anger. "Miserable? Useless? Yet, you consented to this union. Why?" He smirked, challenging her. "Everyone yearns for their dreams and independence. I just wish I had the chance," she replied, her heart heavy with the pain of her circumstances. Bound by a contract she reluctantly signed due to her father's desperate situation, she vowed never to reveal the truth – that the arrangement was orchestrated by the old man. Anna found herself trapped in an agreement, marrying Yul's family's sole heir, Lucian Freud. His family's influential company, Yul's Group, had been led by its founder until his passing, now requiring Lucian to assume control under the condition of marriage. But was this truly Lucian's desire? How would he navigate his feelings for his contract wife, who had inadvertently brought a spark of the warmth he'd lost in his life? Could Lucian possibly thrive as CEO without Anna by his side? The future held uncertain questions.
