The Runaway Heiress's Accidental Contract Marriage

To escape an abusive ex who blacklisted her from every job in the city, Annabelle fled to New York with nothing but her late grandfather's secret marriage token.

Destitute, she was unexpectedly taken in by the ultra-wealthy Barrera family.

Meeting their sweet, handsome nephew, Davion, she naturally assumed he was her arranged fiancé.

Seeing that Davion already had a girlfriend he loved, Annabelle felt a deep sense of guilt about the secret contract.

Sitting in his passenger seat one morning, she confessed her true identity and offered to help him secretly break the marriage alliance.

But Davion just looked at her in sheer panic.

"What engagement?"

Before Annabelle could explain, his phone accidentally went on speaker.

A low, terrifyingly calm voice echoed through the car.

It was Jasper Barrera—the ruthless, cold-blooded head of the family, and the terrifying tyrant Annabelle had accidentally offended in the estate's greenhouse just days ago.

He had heard every single word of her plan to break the sacred family trust.

Davion's face went completely ashen as he hastily pulled the car over, his hands shaking violently on the steering wheel.

"Anna," he whispered, looking like he had just seen a ghost. "Who do you think you are engaged to?"

That was when the horrifying realization crushed the air out of her lungs.

She wasn't engaged to the sweet nephew. She was engaged to the monster.
