Clause 14: The Wife He Can't FireUpdated at Oct 30, 2026, 04:36
Lena Hart was the best project manager at Vale Industries until she was laid off in a single email. The signature on it belonged to Dominic Vale, the cold, untouchable CEO she spent two years quietly hating.Three months later, she is behind on rent and her family's bakery is close to closing. Dominic shows up at her door with an offer: marry him for one year. His late grandfather's will gives him ninety days to wed or lose the company to the board member who's been circling it. In return, Dominic will clear every debt she has.She says yes, because she has no choice. But inside his glass penthouse, Lena starts finding things that don't add up. Dominic never signed her layoff. Someone forged it. And the person who did may be the one sitting across the boardroom, smiling.She came for the money. She stayed for the truth. Now the hardest clause to keep is the one that says never fall in love.
