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 restaurant was bathed in a soft golden glow, the kind that made everything and everyone look better than they felt. I'd chosen this place carefully, not too extravagant, but private enough to avoid prying eyes. Bella deserved a moment of peace, and I was determined to give her that, even if it was fleeting.

When she walked in, dressed in a sleek black dress that hugged her figure perfectly, the room seemed to pause for a moment. My breath caught, but I masked it with a casual smile as I stood to greet her.

"You're late," I teased, pulling her chair out for her.

She rolled her eyes, her lips curving into a small smile. "Fashionably late, Sam. There's a difference."

As she sat down, I couldn't help but notice the way her hair shimmered under the dim light. It was a reminder of how she effortlessly carried herself, even with the weight of the world on her shoulders.
