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 ride to the Asher headquarters was uneventful, yet I couldn't shake the uneasy feeling gnawing at my gut. The tension in the air was palpable as soon as I stepped out of my car. People were whispering, their hushed voices filling the corridors like an unwanted hum. I could feel their eyes on me, sharp and judgmental, as though I were on trial without even knowing the charges.

As I reached my office, Jonathan, my assistant, was already waiting at the door. His expression was grim, his usually calm demeanor replaced by visible unease.

"Sam," he began, stepping inside with me. "Did you see the news?"

"What news?" I asked, my voice clipped. The unease grew, spreading through my chest like wildfire.

Jonathan handed me his tablet. "This."

The headline hit me like a punch to the gut:

"Scandal Rocks Asher Family: Sam Asher Allegedly Not a Blood Heir!"
