The CEO's Contract Lover

(Completed) During her step-sister's birthday celebration, a shocking turn of events unfolded when Nina, unaware of her family's sinister plot, was drugged and sold into the clutches of an elderly predator, who shared the same age as her grandfather. In her desperate bid for freedom, she encountered Jayden Luxton, a powerful businessman. "Accept my hand in marriage, and I vow to ensure your safety," he offered, presenting a stark ultimatum. With no alternative, Nina found herself bound by duty, agreeing to marry him for her own survival. Jayden sought a wife, while Nina craved protection – a mutually beneficial arrangement that seemed like a lifeline. But there was one crucial condition: they were to remain distanced from each other emotionally. Both living lives devoid of vibrancy and affection, their shared existence promised a chance for change. After every intense encounter, Jayden would gently remind her, "Resist falling for me. Otherwise, it could only lead to pain for you." But despite his warnings, Jayden found himself unable to let Nina go, lavishing her with unwarranted affection. --- Next day, at Springfield College, the prestigious institution in Spring City, an unexpected commotion emerged: "Sir, news from Madam's college – someone dared to harass her." The very next day, Springfield College vanished from the nation's radar, its reputation forever tainted. Then, word reached Jayden: "Sir, Madam has developed a fascination with Paris, the world-renowned fashion house." As a result, the legendary brand's entire collection was commandeered to cater to her extravagant tastes. Finally, a report surfaced: "Sir, Madam is seen on a date with a notorious figure." The usually stoic CEO's expression betrayed a hint of tension, his eyes narrowing ominously, "She thinks I'll just let her slip away so easily?"
