She never believed in love. He never believed in forever. But one contract will change everything.
When struggling entrepreneur Emma is forced into an arranged marriage to secure her family’s legacy, she agrees—on one condition: it’s strictly business. No love. No emotions. Just a means to an end.
George , a powerful CEO with his own reasons for needing a wife. Cold, calculating, and dangerously charming, he sees marriage as nothing more than a strategic move—until he finds himself drawn to the woman who refuses to fall for him.
As passion sparks and lines blur, their carefully crafted contract begins to crumble. Secrets unravel, past wounds resurface, and suddenly, the vows they swore meant nothing… mean everything.
Can they fight the undeniable pull between them? Or will their love story be over before it even begins?

The contract Bride

The wedding was nothing like she had imagined.

There were no heartfelt vows, no loving glances—just a business transaction sealed with a cold, unfeeling kiss.

Emma stood stiffly beside George, her hand trapped in his firm grip as cameras flashed around them. The world saw a glamorous power couple, but only she knew the truth.

The moment they were alone after the ceremony, she pulled her hand away.

"I hope you got what you wanted," she snapped.

George loosened his tie, unfazed. "You'll find I always do."

Before she could argue, he handed her a sleek folder.

• One year of marriage

• No emotional involvement

• Divorce after the agreed period

She swallowed hard. "And if I refuse to follow these terms?"

His eyes darkened. "Then you'll break our deal."

With trembling fingers, she signed.
