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

Robert paced back and forth in his private study, his face a mask of fury and indignation. The large windows behind him framed the sprawling Asher estate, but the beauty outside only seemed to mock the turmoil brewing inside.

I stood near the entrance, my fists clenched tightly at my sides. Bella had insisted on coming with me, but this was a confrontation I had to face alone. Jacob and Jonathan waited discreetly outside the door, their presence a silent reminder of the fragile line we were walking.

"Robert," I began, my voice even, though the anger simmering beneath threatened to boil over, "we need to talk."

Robert stopped his pacing and turned to face me, his eyes narrowing. "Do we? Because I'm not sure there's anything left to say."

I stepped closer, refusing to back down. "Dr. Fenton admitted that you ordered the DNA results to be manipulated. I need to know why."
