Chapter 1 The Unexpected Proposal

Annabel Thompson stood outside the sleek, silver skyscraper that housed Blackwood Industries, her heart racing with excitement and a hint of nervousness. She had been summoned to the CEO's office, and she had no idea why. As a marketing executive, Annabel had worked tirelessly to prove herself, and she hoped that this meeting would be the opportunity she had been waiting for.

As she stepped into the elevator, Annabel couldn't help but notice the way the mirrored walls seemed to stretch on forever, making her feel like a tiny, insignificant speck in the grand scheme of things. She took a deep breath, smoothing out her pencil skirt and adjusting her blouse. She was a professional, after all.

The elevator doors slid open, and Annabel stepped out into the opulent foyer of the CEO's suite. A stern-looking receptionist greeted her, her eyes flicking over Annabel's attire before nodding curtly.

"Mr. Blackwood will see you now, Miss Thompson," she said, her voice as cold as ice.

Annabel's heart skipped a beat as she followed the receptionist into the CEO's office. The room was a masterpiece of modern design, with floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a breathtaking view of the city skyline. And then, there was him.

Mattia Blackwood, the CEO of Blackwood Industries, stood behind his massive desk, his piercing blue eyes fixed intently on Annabel. He was even more imposing in person, his chiselled features and broad shoulders radiating an aura of power and authority.

"Annabel Thompson," he said, his deep voice sending a shiver down her spine. "I've been expecting you."

Annabel's eyes locked onto his, her mind racing with questions. What did he want with her? Why had he summoned her to his office?

"Mr. Blackwood," she replied, her voice steady despite the butterflies in her stomach.

Mattia's gaze narrowed, his eyes seeming to bore into her very soul. "I've been watching you, Annabel," he said, his voice low and menacing. "I've been impressed with your work. You have a certain... spark."

Annabel's heart skipped a beat as Mattia's eyes seemed to linger on her face, his gaze burning with an intensity that made her skin prickle.

"I want to make you an offer," he continued, his voice dripping with confidence. "Marry me, Annabel. Become my wife, and I'll give you the career of a lifetime."

Annabel's jaw dropped, her mind reeling with shock. Marry him? Was he insane? But as she looked into Mattia's eyes, she saw something there that gave her pause. A glimmer of determination, a hint of desperation.

"Why?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Mattia's smile was a cold, calculating thing. "Let's just say that I need a wife, Annabel. And I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get what I want."

Annabel's heart raced as she realized the true extent of Mattia's power. He was a man who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, and she was just a pawn in his game.

But as she looked into his eyes, Annabel saw something else there, something that made her hesitate. A spark of attraction, a flicker of desire.

And in that moment, Annabel knew that she was in grave danger. She was about to enter into a marriage with a man who was as ruthless as he was attractive, a man who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.

But she was also about to uncover secrets that would change her life forever.
