THE CEO'S BINDING DEAL
Updated at Jun 26, 2026, 11:37
Kayla Carter’s patience was wearing thin, but she forced herself to stay calm. Andrain Vance slid a document across the table. Curious, she picked it up. Only for the bold heading to make her freeze. MARRIAGE CONTRACT. A laugh escaped her lips. Then another. Soon she was laughing so hard it almost hurt. This had to be a joke. But Andrain simply watched her, calm and unreadable. “Mr. Vance must be joking,” Kayla finally said. His expression didn’t change. “I don’t make jokes, Ms. Carter.” Her laughter slowly faded. “Marry me, Kayla. Sign the contract, and Carter Enterprises gets the Vance deal. You keep your mother’s legacy.” Kayla stared at him in disbelief. “You’re insane,” she whispered. Andrain smiled coldly, his gaze sharp enough to cut. “Maybe. But I’m the only one insane enough to save you.” ** Kayla Carter thought the worst pain in her life was being unwanted by her own family. Until the night she was drugged… and woke up in the bed of a stranger. A powerful, ruthless stranger. Andrain Vance doesn’t believe in coincidences and he definitely doesn’t believe in Kayla’s innocence. To him, she’s just another woman desperate to crawl into his world. But Kayla knows the truth. She knows she was set up. And the deeper she digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
