 ﻿Scarlett continued walking towards the private beach behind the hotel without hearing Nicole's voice.
 In contrast to the swimming pools she passed, the white sandy beach looked deserted. There was only her and a few lifeguards. They are scattered at several points on the beach. Maybe because the sun is still high, other hotel guests are reluctant to play on the beach or swim in the sea.
 They weren't the only ones who thought so, Scarlett didn't even intend to swim into the sea too. She just wanted to clear her mind by spoiling her eyes on the emerald sea. She decided to sit on one of the chaise lounges — neatly lined up near the beach.
 Despite the sun shining brightly, the sunshade could shield her from the hot sun, and so far, she was comfortable with the cool breeze blowing from the sea. She sat staring at the endless ocean in front of her for a moment.
 After a while of enjoying her solitude, she called a waiter on duty not far from where she was. She ordered a cold drink and fresh fruit. Soon the snacks were served. It didn't take long for her to finish the snacks, which she enjoyed while listening to the waves.
 The serenity of the place could push back her desire to look at her cell phone. She had turned off her cell phone since arriving at this beach. Right now, she just wants to indulge herself in enjoying the beauty of nature without being disturbed by news on the internet or people who are looking for her.
 She lay down and closed her eyes.
 Her mind reels back to when she was still living in New York. The different lifestyles in the big city and on this island surprised her.
 Over the past few years, she spent much of her time living in a few big cities in the USA. Her eyes and ears were used to seeing many tall buildings, cars' traffic, and many people passing by with the distressed look in their eyes. And, living in the city, her time seemed so short. It felt like 24 hours wasn't enough when she lived there.
 The feeling when she returned to this country was strange. Life on this island feels like time is running slowly. The serenity of this island can calm her mind. She never hears car horns or police sirens in the middle of the night.
 She also doesn't need to rush to go somewhere because this island is not too big, and the population is not much. She also can walk or ride a bicycle around the island. However, even though the number of residents on this island is few, the number of foreign or local tourists is quite a lot.
 Staying here for a month made Scarlett dislike her plans to return to the capital — back to her daily routine. But yesterday's incident made all the bliss she felt during a month of living on this island suddenly fade.
 Living on this island was no longer something she had dreamed of. Now, she only wanted to leave. To avoid the evil woman trying to destroy her life.
 But she wasn't really going to leave this island for good. After all, she was born and raised here. Memories of her childhood with her mother are still imprinted in her heart and mind.
 She believed one day she would return. Though that wouldn't be happening anytime soon. She will first make a plan to seize the Ocean Group from her father and that damn woman.
 Scarlett was deep in thought until she lost track of time and didn't realize when she had fallen asleep.
 Later in the evening…
 Scarlett suddenly felt a chill all over her body, making her wake up. How shocked she was when she saw the twilight in the sky. And, when she tried to move, her whole body felt stiff. A low groan escaped her lips as she felt her whole body ache as if someone had beaten her.
 "You are an interesting woman, Miss Scarlett!"
 Scarlett flinched at the familiar voice from beside her. She turned towards the voice. Suddenly she felt her heartbeat increase as Xander Riley's face came into her sight. Her mouth was wide open, but no words came out, as if she had lost her ability to talk.
 "How could a woman like you sleep soundly in this open place? Even though it's a private beach, you should not do this."
 Scarlett tried to say something, but her throat felt dry and sore. With great difficulty, she tried to sit up straight, and at the same time, she saw a dark blue suit covering half of her body.
 'What's this? Is this Xander's suit?'
 She slowly looked at Xander again. She noticed he was only wearing a pale blue shirt, and the color of the suit in her hand was the same as the pants he was wearing.
 Instantly Scarlett felt ashamed and guilty. She gently took the suit and stood before him, unable to meet his eyes.
 "I'm late for dinner because of you." He said, then walked over without giving her a chance to speak.
 Scarlett was utterly speechless. This man, Xander Riley, is cold and nearly impolite.
 How could he blame her for his belated dinner?
 She didn't even ask him to come here.
 And as far as she can remember, she was pretty sure this guy didn't ask her out for a cup of coffee, let alone dinner.
 She was annoyed with his attitude. But before she could pay back with the same attitude, the man had already walked away from her.
 'Damn you, Xander!'
 She cursed him in her heart as she quickened her steps to match his vast strides. She held his expensive suit carefully. Worried the seemingly expensive suit will wrinkle or tear — this man may ask her to pay for it.
 On their way to the President's suite room, no word came from Xander or Scarlett. She wanted to break the annoying silence, but her hurt throat stopped her.

 Scarlett's world collapses when she is drugged and forced to marry an old, filthy-rich widower with five children.
 Trying to escape her seemingly inescapable troubles, she accepts an offer of a one-year contract marriage with a mysterious gentleman. He promises this will get her out of her hostile-arranged marriage problems. She took the offer.
 If everything goes well, she will be a free and independent woman in one year...
 However, many things take an unexpected turn. The contract marriage made Scarlett's life feel like she was riding a rollercoaster. A mix of exhilaration, dreaded inferno, and joyful heaven.
 ****
 Only a crazy person would accept his offer. And right now, she does not fall into that category. Her mind is still sane.
 "Please don't get me wrong. I'm just trying to help myself. And at the same time helping you."
 Scarlett was even more confused.
 "I know my problem is complicated. But, I think being married to a man I just met, without love, feels weird..." She said.
 "This is not a real marriage but a contract marriage that you can set up to your advantage. And also mine."
 Scarlett listened silently; inside, she was shocked and a bit perplexed.
 Xander crossed his arms over his chest while looking into Scarlett's eyes. He continued, "As I said before, I will help you, and at the same time, you will help me. I don't need to explain what my problem is. But, I assure you, if you agree to do a contract marriage with me, then your problems will be solved. So what do you think!?"
 Scarlett was in no hurry to speak. She slowly raised her head and said, "So I can put any clauses I want in the contract?"
 The man nods, saying, "As long as it doesn't hurt me."
 She offered a handshake to Xander, "Okay. You got a deal!"

 Living together with my ex-husband?
 Sarah never thought she would one day meet Michael, her ex-husband, again in the operating room with his body full of wounds and needing treatment from her.
 They were already divorced for three years, and Sarah didn’t have a good memory of the man. If she could… she would have let him die. However, she was a doctor, and a doctor's job was to save patients.
 Sarah immediately regretted her decision to save the man because it turned out that Michael had amnesia and remembered that they just got married!

 However… during the time she spent with her ex-husband, Michael's attitude was very different from what Sarah had last remembered. He was very gentle… and loving. It made the feelings she thought were gone, come up to the surface.
 Would Sarah be able to deal with her feelings? What would happen when Michael's memory suddenly returned? Would his attitude stay the same?
 =============
 EXCERPT:
 "Wifey," Michael called, looking at Sarah who was lying beside him.
 “Hm,” Sarah answered curtly, not looking at Michael.
 "I think I'm healthy."
 Sarah's body stiffened when she heard that. Was Michael healthy? Did that mean he had remembered everything? Would he scold her for tricking him?
 "Wifey? Why are you silent? I think I'm healthy and I can do it," Michael said quietly.
 "What do you mean?" Sarah finally looked at Michael with raised eyebrows. “Do what?”
 "Making babies."

 Doctor Irish Lane- 28 years old, was a renowned psychologist in New York. She looked stunningly attractive, sexy, and smart—a real beauty with the flesh of ice and bones of jade to every man's eyes.
 One day, she woke up with a dashing and mysterious stranger on her bed. Recalling last night's event, she can't remember how they end up together in the huge bed. She stared at the calm face before her and was startled when his phone rang. The man woke up and quickly answered the call.
 She clearly heard the conversation he had. The stranger was getting married today! Composing herself, she hastily took money from her wallet and handed it to him without giving him a chance to explain. She sprinted to the door and disappeared from his life.
 Unexpectedly, when she started her new job, the stranger once again appeared in front of her, dragging her into a murder case his company, Runestone Group, involved.
 She refused him immediately, but no way he would let her escape.
 He calmly said, "It's very dangerous for you, being so beautiful, to get into my car in the first place. And I take no for an answer!"
 Irish tried to calm herself down and then did her seat belt. "Mr. Dover, I've told you that I also usually charge overtime pay."
 "Doctor Irish, don't you think your professional fee is high?"
 "Is it?" Irish rolled her eyes, and an idea occurred to her, "No, the price of basic commodities nowadays is increasing, so doctors should increase their salary too."
 "You are a smart woman." He said a half-sentence, and the end of his words was meaningful. "Of course, the extra money on the check was just an advance deposit. We can negotiate about the related remuneration once I'm satisfied with your performance."
 His scheming trick clearly trapped her, and it was too late for her to take back her words and realize the implication of her abrupt action.
 A dangerous game of love that is full of lies and deception. Two exceptional individuals that fate collided, leading to the past they tried to bury.
