A desperate young girl. A cold-hearted CEO. A contract that could change everything.

Bella, a loyal girl, tries to get her brother out of jail after he is framed for a crime he did not commit. With time running out and her brother's health at risk, she reluctantly agrees to an unconventional proposal: a contract marriage to Samuel Asher, the cold heir to a multinational company. 

Samuel's grandfather dangles the keys to the company—but only if Samuel marries and produces an heir. Viewing Bella as nothing more than a means to an end, he proposes a loveless union with strict rules. No attachments. No intimacy. Just business.

But as Bella and Samuel navigate their faux relationship, unexpected complications arise. Jonathan, Samuel's faithful PA and Bella's longtime friend, harbors secret feelings for her. And when Samuel breaks his own rules, leaving both Bella and his girlfriend Elaina pregnant, the stakes skyrocket. 

With a company empire, a brother's freedom, and the fate of two unborn children hanging in the balance, will cold ambition or unexpected love prevail?

My contract marriage with the billionaire

The massive iron gates of my grandfather's mansion creaked open as I drove up the long driveway, the grandeur of the estate looming before me. The sprawling gardens, neatly trimmed, contrasted sharply with the suffocating heaviness I felt every time I came here. It wasn't just the mansion, it was the history buried within its walls, the whispers of secrets that had been deliberately hidden from me.

As I stepped out of the car, I was greeted by a line of maids, their practiced politeness masking any real emotion.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Sam," one of them said with a slight bow.

"Where's Mrs. Bridget?" I asked, ignoring their rehearsed smiles.

"She's in the kitchen, sir," the maid replied.

I nodded, heading straight inside. My destination wasn't the kitchen, though; it was the study, the sacred space where my grandfather, the chairman of the family empire, had built his legacy.
