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 tension in the air was palpable as Sam and I entered the grand conference room at the Asher headquarters. It was packed with shareholders, board members, and key executives, all seated around a large oval table. Their eyes turned toward us, a mix of curiosity, doubt, and disdain. The murmurs were deafening, a storm of speculation brewing among them. The recent DNA test results had stirred the pot, and now, everyone wanted answers.

I glanced at Sam, who walked beside me, his jaw tight and his shoulders squared. Despite the chaos surrounding him, he exuded a quiet strength that made me proud. He wasn't backing down, and neither was I.

"Stay calm," I whispered, touching his arm briefly.

He gave me a curt nod, his gaze fixed ahead as we approached our seats.

The meeting began with Mr. Hayes, the shareholders' chairman, clearing his throat. The room fell silent as he adjusted his glasses and began speaking.
