Flash Marriage

Contract Marriage

Instant Billionaire

Zara never believed that one signature could destroy her life. Forced into a contract marriage to save her family from ruin, she finds herself trapped in a world ruled by Adrian Volkov—a ruthless billionaire known for his cold logic, absolute control, and a heart no one has ever dared to reach. To him, everything is structure. Everything has rules. And Zara… is no exception. But what was supposed to be a simple agreement quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Because Adrian doesn’t just want obedience. He wants control. Every move Zara makes is watched, every decision measured, every rebellion anticipated. The more she tries to fight him, the deeper she gets pulled into his world—a place where power is everything, trust is nonexistent, and freedom comes with a price she may never afford. Yet beneath Adrian’s cold and calculating exterior lies something darker… something he refuses to show. And the more Zara uncovers the truth behind their marriage, the more she realizes— She was never just a wife. She was chosen. Bound by secrets she doesn’t understand, and tied to a past that refuses to stay buried, Zara must decide— Will she continue to fight the man who owns her life? Or will she become the one thing he never expected… his greatest weakness?

Chapter 1
ZARALINDA LIN CANTOVA (author POV) Zara never believed that a single signature could destroy a person’s life, not until the moment her father slid the document across the table and asked her to sign it as if it were nothing more than a simple agreement. The room felt suffocatingly quiet, the kind of silence that pressed heavily against her chest, making it hard to breathe. Her eyes dropped to the paper, her name already printed neatly at the bottom, waiting for her to complete the final step that would seal her fate.For a moment, she did not move.“What is this?” she asked, her voice calm, though something inside her was already beginning to crack—Her father leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. “A contract.” Zara let out a humorless breath, her fingers curling slightly. “I can see that. What kind of contract?”NThere was a pause, brief but heavy.“You’re getting married.” The words landed like a blow.Zara’s head snapped up, disbelief flashing across her face as she

Chapter 2
ZARA(AUTHOR) POVThe moment Zara stepped inside the mansion, she immediately felt it—the kind of silence that wasn’t peaceful, but suffocating, as if the entire place was holding its breath and watching her every move. The doors closed behind them with a heavy finality that echoed through the vast interior, and just like that, the outside world disappeared completely, leaving only her, Adrian, and a space that felt far too large to belong to someone like her.Everything inside was expensive, perfectly designed, and untouched in a way that made it feel less like a home and more like a controlled display of power. The polished floors reflected the soft golden lights above, the walls were decorated with minimal but clearly intentional art pieces, and every corner seemed calculated, as if nothing here existed without a reason. It wasn’t warm. It wasn’t inviting. It was preciseAdrian walked ahead without hesitation, as if he had never left this place or as if it had never stopped belongin

Chapter 3
ZARA (AUTHOR POV__)The car moved in silence, cutting through the city streets with a steady, controlled speed that made everything outside the window feel distant and unreal, as if Zara was watching a life she no longer belonged to. She sat stiffly on one side of the backseat, her hands resting on her lap, fingers lightly curled as she stared at the passing buildings without really seeing them. The world outside looked normal, alive, untouched—but she knew better now. Normal didn’t exist in the same way anymore.Beside her, Adrian sat without a hint of discomfort, his posture relaxed but still precise, as if even stillness in him followed structure. He wasn’t looking at her. He wasn’t ignoring her either. It was something in between—like he was aware of her presence without needing to acknowledge it.That alone unsettled her more than anything.“You didn’t tell me where we’re going,” Zara finally said, breaking the silence.Adrian’s gaze remained forward. “You didn’t ask.”Zara turne

Chapter 4
ZARA (AUTHOR POV__)Zara didn’t speak for a long time after that.Not because she had nothing to say, but because everything she wanted to say felt like it would only feed into the structure Adrian already seemed to have built around her existence. The more she argued, the more he observed. The more she resisted, the more he adjusted. It was starting to feel less like a battle and more like something carefully measured, as if every reaction she had was being placed on a scale.And that thought unsettled her more than anything else.She turned away from the balcony completely, stepping back into the mansion’s interior. The hallway was quiet, polished, and too perfect in a way that never stopped feeling unnatural. She walked slowly, not because she was unsure of where she was going, but because she was beginning to understand that movement here didn’t equal freedom.It only meant she was still inside the system.A faint sound of footsteps followed her again.Not rushed.Not random.Inte

Chapter 5
ZARA (AUTHOR POV) The next morning didn’t feel like morning at all.Zara woke up earlier than usual, not because she was rested, but because her mind refused to stay quiet after what happened in the middle of the night. The voices. The tension outside her door. Adrian’s voice—calm, controlled, final. It all replayed in fragments that refused to make sense when placed together.She sat up slowly, pressing her palm against her forehead as if that could steady her thoughts.But nothing about this place was ever steady.A soft knock interrupted her again.This time, she didn’t hesitate. “Come in.”A maid entered, carrying a folded outfit again, placing it neatly on the chair without looking directly at her.“Sir Adrian requests your presence downstairs after you’re ready,” she said politely.Zara frowned slightly. “Requests.”The maid paused for half a second, then corrected softly, “He is waiting for you.”And just like that, she left.Zara stared at the door for a moment after it close

CHAPTER 6
Something flickered in his expression at that, Not surprise, Not approval—Recognition, And for the first time—he didn’t immediately shut the door on the truth.Adrian held her gaze, the weight of everything unsaid hanging between them like a physical barrier slowly beginning to crack. He looked at her not as someone who needed to be controlled, but as someone who was finally standing on the edge of the precipice, ready to jump whether he pushed her or not.He exhaled slowly, a sound so rare it almost felt foreign in this place of perfect silence.“Very well,” he said finally, his voice low but steady. “But remember this—you asked for it.”He turned away from her and walked toward the long table in the center of the room, placing the folder down but not opening it yet. Instead, he leaned slightly against the edge, crossing his arms, looking at the space between them as if gathering pieces of a story that had been buried for years.“Your father,” Adrian started, his tone shifting from c

CHAPTER 7
ZARA (AUTHOR POV)“Show me everything.”The words left her mouth before she could even second-guess them. They hung in the sterile air of the facility, heavy and absolute, shattering the last thin veil of pretense that had existed between them since the day they met.Adrian stared at her, and for a moment, Zara thought he would refuse. That he would pull back, close the door, and hide it all away behind his usual walls of control and silence. But he didn’t.Instead, the tension in his shoulders seemed to ease, just slightly. As if a weight he had been carrying alone for a long time had finally been shared.“Good,” he said again, but this time, the word carried warmth. Dangerous, dark warmth. “Then let’s start from the beginning. Because you need to understand that nothing in your life… nothing about us… was ever random.”He led her away from the glass panel and deeper into the room. There was a long, dark wooden table in the center, surrounded by high-backed chairs. It looked less lik

CHAPTER 8
ZARA (AUTHOR POV)The Weight of LegacyThe hug lasted longer than either of them expected.It wasn’t the stiff, formal embrace of a husband and wife who were still strangers. It wasn’t the possessive hold of a man claiming what was his. It was… grounding. It was two people finally finding their anchor in a storm that had been raging around them for years without them even knowing.Zara could hear the steady beating of Adrian’s heart against her ear, strong and rhythmic, a sound that told her everything was going to be okay, even when the world outside these walls was falling apart.She felt his hands tighten around her waist slightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go, she might disappear, or perhaps he was afraid that he might lose control.“You have no idea,” Adrian whispered, his voice low and vibrating through his chest, “how long I’ve waited to hold you like this.”Zara pulled back just enough to look up at him, her eyes searching his face. “Really?”He nodded, his thumbs bru

Chapter 9
ZARA (AUTHOR POV) “Then gear up, Mrs. Vance,” he said, his voice dropping to that dark, commanding tone she loved. “Tonight… we end this.” Zara didn’t waste a second. She turned and walked straight to the armory. This wasn’t the scared girl who used to flinch at loud noises anymore. Her movements were sharp, precise, and filled with purpose. She strapped on the tactical vest Adrian had custom-made for her—lightweight but bulletproof. She slid a handgun into the holster at her hip, checked the magazine, and secured it. Then, she strapped a knife to her thigh, just like Adrian taught her. When she walked back out, Adrian was already ready. He looked like a shadow come to life—dressed entirely in black, tactical gear fitting his muscular frame perfectly, weapons visible but not obtrusive. He stopped for a moment when he saw her. His eyes raked over her form, not with lust, but with pride and awe. “You look dangerous,” he said softly. “I am dangerous,” she replied, meeting his gaze

Chapter 10
ZARA (AUTHOR POV)The door clicked shut, locking out the rest of the world—In the dim, warm light of their bedroom, there were no more enemies, no more guns, no more secrets. There was only Adrian, holding her as if she was the most precious thing in existence, and Zara, feeling more alive and loved than she ever thought possible.He laid her gently on the bed, but he didn’t pull away. He followed her down, caging her between his arms, his body hovering over hers, his eyes searching her face with an intensity that made her breath hitch.“Adrian,” she whispered, her hands coming up to rest on his chest, feeling the steady, strong beat of his heart beneath her palms.“I’m here,” he murmured, his voice rough with emotion. “I’m right here.”He lowered his head, capturing her lips in a kiss that was nothing like the ones they had shared before. This was different. This was raw. This was the culmination of months of tension, of hidden longing, of walls finally crumbling down.Zara melted in
