"Woman, I won't marry you." These were the first words he ever said to her.
She understood the nature of their relationship—playing the role of his dutiful "fake fiancée" while keeping a safe distance.
But then, one day, he suddenly cornered her and kissed her fiercely.
Shocked, she protested, "Mr. Hughes, we agreed this was just a contractual arrangement!"
"I broke the terms," he replied with a roguish smirk. Now that he knew she was the woman he'd been searching for all along, how could he possibly let her go? "As compensation... I'm yours."
