Married by Mistake to the Ice-Cold CEO

Married by Mistake to the Ice-Cold CEO Ella Carter is at rock bottom. Broke, jobless, and desperate to pay off her debts, she agrees to a shady but simple deal—sign a fake marriage contract in exchange for a life-changing sum of money. It’s supposed to be a harmless formality, just a few signatures, and she’s free. But when she wakes up the next morning, she’s no longer a fake wife. She’s legally married to Adrian Blackwood, the ruthless billionaire CEO with a heart of ice and a glare that could freeze fire. Worse, he believes she’s nothing more than a conniving gold digger who trapped him into this marriage. Determined to end their arrangement as soon as possible, Adrian is cold, cruel, and utterly unshaken by Ella’s protests. He wants her gone. But there’s one problem—she refuses to be intimidated. Unlike everyone else in his life, she fights back, and to his shock, she actually wins their battles. The more they argue, the more their tension ignites. And the more Adrian tries to push her away, the more he finds himself drawn to her defiant spirit, her fire, her ability to see the man behind the icy mask. But when secrets come to light and enemies lurk in the shadows, their marriage of convenience becomes a battlefield of trust, passion, and betrayal. Will Adrian let down his walls and accept the one woman who dares to stand by his side? Or will Ella walk away before she loses her heart to a man who never planned to keep her? One mistake. One contract. One marriage neither of them saw coming.

The Echo of Lost Time

*The Echo of Lost Time* follows the intertwined lives of two architects, Alex Carter and Elena Murphy, whose fates collide after a series of unintentional encounters over seven years. Set against the backdrop of a bustling metropolis, the story explores their personal and professional growth, the choices they make, and the consequences of those choices. Alex Carter is a brilliant but solitary architect who has built a reputation for his innovative designs. Seven years ago, he lost a high-profile project—a cultural center he had poured his heart into—to Elena Murphy, a rising star in the field. Though the rivalry was brief, the sting of that loss lingered with Alex, especially as Elena's career soared in the years that followed. Elena, on the other hand, has always been driven by her desire to prove herself in a world dominated by men. But beneath her confidence lies the unresolved mystery of how she came to win the project that was originally Alex's. She never intended to become his rival, but as the years passed, the shadow of that fateful project continued to haunt her. As time moves forward, their paths cross again and again, yet they never truly connect. Their brief encounters—at conferences, in the city’s construction projects, in moments of fleeting recognition—leave them wondering if the past is truly behind them, or if something greater is at play. When both are invited to a prestigious architecture symposium, the stage is set for a confrontation that could either rebuild bridges or tear down everything they’ve worked for. In a world where time is the ultimate architect, can they both find a way to construct their futures, or will the echoes of lost time continue to haunt them? *The Echo of Lost Time* is a story of ambition, rivalry, love, and the unexpected ways our past shapes our present. It’s a poignant reminder that time doesn’t just pass—it leaves its mark, and sometimes, the most profound connections are forged not by intention, but by fate.
