Rose and Burke: A marriage that started off as a deal and evolved into a story! With Rose's family on the verge of bankruptcy, Burke's offer seemed like a godsend - - marry him, and he would cover the debts of her family. For Burke, she was the last connection to the truth. But read on as she became something much more and love got the best of him.

Love Gets The Best Of Me Chapter 1 The First Time

With her hands grasping the sheets tightly, Rose Lin bent up to see him sprawling over her body.

She groaned as the pain and pleasure mixed together. The she pushed her hips upwards in an effort for his body to agree with hers even more.

"Relax."

A smooth voice came from the top of her head. However, she also noticed his breathing became much heavier than usual.

Rose Lin unconsciously released her tightly curled fingers and the bed sheet around her crumbled back down.

It was no other than Burke Gu, the man who she had been married to for half a year.

She had loved him for twelve years, so she didn't really mind trusting him with this simple act.

Burke Gu gazed deeply at the bewildered Rose Lin under him. Her seducing eyes, shadowed by the lurking darkness around them.

The moment he entered her, he groaned as hundreds of thoughts flashed into his mind.

This was his wife – his actual wife. As groans and moans echoed throughout the room, he just couldn't believe that he was this lucky.

It felt as if a fire was lit up right in his chest as he lived in the moment over Rose's skin.

He leaned over and kissed her sweet and soft lips, and she moaned, pulling his face deeper into hers.

The next morning,

a pile of paper dropped in front of Rose.

She stopped what she was doing, stunned at being shocked out of her reverie. She took the forms doubtfully and scanned the familiar content.

Wasn't this their agreement, the contract they signed before marriage?

"What do you mean?"

she said, trying to steady her already shaking voice.

There was a two year deadline on their marriage. They'd already been married for half a year, yet he found the time to take it out again. Was there something wrong?

"Look at the third clause," he stated.

She narrowed her eyes at the third clause of their agreement.

"On the basis of both sides' wishes, both sides can perform the duty of a couple."

She was dumbfounded, her tongue tied at the predicament.

Trust Burke to label sex in such a formal manner.

Back then, there was only one clause in their obligation, that Rose didn't need to serve Burke in bed. All she needed was to act like his wife in public.

Once he saw the change in her face, he reached out and buttoned his suit sleeve with one hand elegantly. "You don't have to think too much into it. I'm a man, and I have my own needs to fulfill, and you happen to be the solution," he stated.

A flicker of surprise flashed in her face.

Did she hear it right? Did Burke just ask her to have sex with him?

In fact, she never really heard him speak of this topic till the time they both signed the arrangement.

"It's perfectly appropriate with you as we're already married.

Of course, if you're uncomfortable with it, we can always forget about this."

He was a noble man. He didn't really want to force someone into something they didn't want to do.

"Before the contract expires, I'll add payment to whatever amount you want."

And that was the bell that had rang in Rose's ears.

She raised her eyebrows. "And what if Mr. Gu wants to maintain the relationship after two years?"

The corners of her lips inched up as she leaned in closer, wanting to know what was running in his mind.

"Mr. Gu's sure he won't do such a thing," Burke smiled briefly.

She burst into laughter before nodding her head. "Fine."

That was right. She agreed with no hesitation.

Their marriage was nothing but a deal anyway. It wasn't as if they'd bond emotionally during this plight.

Six months ago, the Lin Fmaily was already on the verge of bankruptcy. It was big news given that they were one of the richest and most powerful families in A City. Rose's father, Ray Lin was taken to jail. While her mother, Lillian Liu, committed suicide. It was up to her to rid the huge amount of debt she'd been put in.

It was in these desperate times when Burke offered her such a lucrative contract.

He helped her save her father and family, while she helped him to get what he wanted.

She didn't really know how it would be done, but she'd do it anyway.

He was her one way ticket out of all of this, and she wasn't planning on letting him go now. Besides, she had a crush on this man for twelve years, so this wouldn't hurt her.

Without any hesitation, she signed the contract.

She married into his family and became the legendary Mrs. Gu.

With the help of her husband, Rose was quick to save the few properties left under her family name and assigned them to the people she could trust. Now, all she needed to focus on was freeing her father and being a good wife.

On their wedding night, they slept on two separate bedrooms. Given that Burke expressed clearly that this was a loveless marriage, he wanted Rose to have no expectations for this union.

Grabbing the contract, she sat still.

Bruce couldn't help but be surprised. He married her in case the last clue would be destroyed. Plus, with her good background, his family wouldn't object to it that much.

Moreover, she was an obedient wife.

Yet, the incident last night couldn't help but leave a trace in Bruce's system. He glared at the ceiling. If he found out who drugged him, he would put that person in a place worse than hell.

"Did you apply the medicine?" His tone was strict and authoritarian, making Rose quiver at the sound.

"Yes, I did," she managed to say, flushing.

Yesterday was her first time, and she felt as if she was limping the entire day due to his desires.

Seeing her flush like that, he couldn't help but think of what had happened that night. It was probably because he hadn't been with a woman for so long that he decided to take it all out on her.

He had been celibate all his life, having no more than two women in the past thirty years.

He couldn't help but feel satisfied that she could give him this much pleasure.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."
