    A deal with the Devil

    (Ethan’s POV)Ethan Carter sat stiffly at the dinner table, arms crossed over his chest, his expression a storm of barely contained rage. The dimly lit dining room, with its worn-out wooden table and flickering overhead light, did little to soften the tension in the air. His father, William Carter, sat across from him, his expression grim, while Lisa, his younger sister, hovered between them, arms crossed as she anxiously watched the brewing storm."You're joking, right?" Ethan finally spoke, his voice dripping with disbelief. "Because there is no damn way I'm marrying some spoiled princess just because you made bad business decisions."William exhaled heavily, rubbing his temples. "Ethan, listen to me…""No, you listen!" Ethan snapped, slamming his hands onto the table, causing Lisa to flinch. "You expect me to marry some rich brat just to save a business that you ran into the ground? Are you even hearing yourself?""It's not just about the business," William said tiredly, looking fa

    The wedding and honeymoon chaos
    (Ethan’s POV)Ethan paced the luxurious Windsor study, running a frustrated hand through his hair. Across from him, Zara sat on a velvet chair, legs crossed, arms folded, glaring at him like he was the world’s biggest headache."I’m not signing that damn paper," Ethan snapped, tossing the contract onto the desk. "I’d rather marry a rattlesnake.""Oh, trust me, I’d rather marry a block of ice than be stuck with you," Zara shot back, her sharp eyes narrowing. "But it looks like we don’t have a choice."Leonard Windsor cleared his throat from his seat, a silent warning to both of them. "Let me remind you both, this is a contract. Not a love story. You don’t have to like each other, you just have to follow the terms."William Carter sighed. "Ethan, just do this. Once the deal is sealed, we all get what we want."Ethan clenched his fists, feeling trapped. His entire life had been reduced to a business deal, and the worst part? He was being tied to this insufferable woman who thought the wo

    What a Day
    Ethan’s POVWaking up in a strange bed was bad enough. Waking up wrapped around Zara Windsor like we were a couple straight out of a romance movie? That was a whole new level of nightmare.The moment my brain caught up with reality, my body stiffened. My arm was draped over her waist, her back pressed against my chest, and worst of all, my face was buried in her damn hair.I pulled away instantly, like I’d been electrocuted.“What the hell?” I muttered, blinking rapidly as the events of last night flooded back. The horrible plane ride, the ridiculous argument, the shouting match over the room, and then pure exhaustion knocking us both out.Just as I was about to sit up, I noticed something odd. Zara wasn’t asleep.She was staring at me.For a long moment, neither of us moved. Her hazel eyes were fixated on my face, almost like she was studying me.“What?” My voice was hoarse from sleep.Zara’s eyes widened as if she’d been caught red-handed. She jerked back so fast she nearly rolled o

    Welcome to Hell
    Ethan’s POVThere was only one thing worse than suffering through this ridiculous honeymoon, coming back home to the Windsor mansion.I should have known Zara wouldn’t let this so-called marriage be a peaceful one.From the moment we stepped foot into the massive Windsor estate, I knew I was in trouble.Zara stood at the front entrance, her arms crossed, a devilish smirk playing on her lips. A queen in her castle.“Well, well, well,” she mused, tilting her head. “Welcome home, husband.”I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. “Save it, Windsor. Let’s just stay out of each other’s way.”Zara gasped dramatically, placing a hand over her chest. “Stay out of each other’s way? But darling, we’re married. We should spend every moment together.”I narrowed my eyes. “What are you planning?”She grinned. “Oh, nothing. Just reminding you that in this house, I make the rules.”I sighed, already regretting my life choices.And that’s how my personal hell began.Zara’s POVEthan Carter ruined my life

    Disaster of marriage
    Lisa’s POVThe second my father called me into his office, I knew we were going to talk about Ethan and his disaster of a marriage.I sat on the edge of his desk, grinning. “So, how’s the love story going?”My father sighed, rubbing his temples. “Lisa, don’t start.”I pouted. “Oh, come on! I want updates! Is Zara making his life miserable yet?”He gave me a look.I gasped. “She is, isn’t she?”“She’s…” He sighed again. “She’s Zara. What do you expect?”I burst out laughing. “This is gold. Absolute gold.”My father shook his head. “I don’t know why you find this so amusing.”I grinned. “Because Ethan finally met someone who can match his stubbornness. And it’s hilarious.”He sighed. “I just hope they don’t kill each other before the contract is up.”I picked up my phone and dialed his number.Lisa.He groaned. Great.He answered. “What do you want?”My voice was already filled with amusement. “Oh, just checking in. How’s married life?”He only sighed. “Go away.”I cackled. “Marriage li

    Business of war
    Ethan’s POVI hated business meetings.I hated the fake smiles.I hated the scripted conversations.And most of all?I hated that I had to be here representing Leonard Windsor, a man I couldn’t stand.The meeting was in some ridiculously high-end hotel. The kind where the chandeliers looked like they cost more than my entire soul.I adjusted my suit as I stepped into the private conference room, already feeling a migraine creeping in.A long, sleek table stretched across the room, occupied by men in expensive suits, the kind of people who smiled at you while plotting how to ruin your life.At the head of the table sat Marcus Caldwell, CEO of Caldwell Enterprises, the company Leonard wanted to merge with.Marcus was in his mid-forties, with a sharp, calculating gaze that made it clear he didn’t trust anyone.Good. Neither did I.“Ah, Mr. Windsor,” Marcus greeted, extending a hand.I didn’t correct him, technically, I was part of the Windsor family now, no matter how much I despised it.

Since I’m so ‘useless,’ why don’t you do everything yourself?”She frowns. “What do you mean?”I lean in, voice low.“I mean, you’re always acting like you don’t need me. Like you have everything under control.” I trail a finger down her ar

    Into the lion's den
    Ethan’s POVI never wanted this.Not the marriage.Not the meetings.And definitely not working for the Windsor Corporation.But here I am sitting in Leonard Windsor’s ridiculously massive office, listening to him praise me like I just saved his company from the brink of destruction.He leans back in his chair, swirling his expensive whiskey. “You handled that last meeting impressively, Ethan. I wasn’t expecting you to seal the deal so fast.”I smirk, stretching my legs out. “What can I say? Some of us know how to get things done.”His eyes glint with amusement. “And that’s exactly why I’ve made a decision.”I raise an eyebrow. “What decision?”He takes a slow sip before setting his glass down. “You’ll be representing all my merging meetings from now on.”I blink. “Excuse me?”“You heard me.”I stare at him, trying to figure out if this is some kind of joke. “You want me to handle all your deals? You do realize I’m not actually a Windsor, right?”He smiles. “Not yet.”I stiffen.I don

Meeting after meeting, signing contracts, shutting down greedy businessmen who thought they could outplay me, it was exhausting.And Zara?She wasn’t helping.That little stunt she pulled downstairs.. trailing her finger down my chest, taunting me, yeah, she knew exactly what she was doing.I exhale sharply, shaking my head. “Forget it.”Right now, I need a shower.The hot water pounds against my skin, loosening the tension in my shoulders.I close my eyes, letting the warmth seep in.For a moment, it’s just silence.No business deals.No sarcastic comments from Zara.Just me and the water.But then…..Knock. Knock.I frown.Seriously?"Who is it?" I call out, irritation already creeping into my voice.Silence.I wait a beat. Nothing.Sighing, I turn off the shower and wrap a towel around my waist.

His eyes flick between us me standing there half-wet and shirtless, Zara flushed and breathless.His expression darkens.He spat everything he wanted, I didn't care much but when he asked Zara if I was forcing it, I had to snap.Hey are you crazy, she doesn't worth forcing myself on, I snapped, I knew Zara was hurt hearing that, but we will sort out that later.“Then what the hell is going on here?”I roll my eyes, running a hand through my damp hair. “What does it look like?”Chris clenches his jaw. “It looks like you’re doing something you shouldn’t.”I chuckle. “Like what? Standing in my own damn room?”Zara scowls at me before turning to Chris. “you are done deliverying your message so what are you still doing here?”“I also came to check on you,” he says, still glaring at me. “Clearly, I was right to
