Billionaire's Marriage Deal

I never in my wildest imagination thought that my life would one day take such a huge turn: signing a marriage contract with Jonathan Wells, the coldest billionaire in Wells Enterprise, so my sister could stay alive. It was supposed to be cut and dry: I’d be his wife on paper, and in return, he would take care of my sister’s medical bill and promise our future. No attachments. No strings. Business only. But life rarely adheres to a simple script, does it? Pulled into his ruthless world, secrets of my past start to resurface, putting everything in jeopardy. I, Chloe Jackson, was the illegitimate daughter of his biggest competitor-a man I had been running from my whole life. Now my estranged father wants me back under his control, just when I’m starting to see that maybe Jonathan isn’t as heartless as he seems. Torn between the board’s merciless scrutiny, Jonathan’s mistrust, and a corporate war driven by my father, I’m adrift in a maelstrom of power, betrayal, and something even more dangerous—love. I wasn’t supposed to fall for him. I wasn’t supposed to care. But in the end, it might not be the contract that keeps our worlds apart-but rather the very thing that could mend my heart. Because Jonathan Wells isn’t just a billionaire. He’s the only man who can break me-or save me.

Chapter 26: Shadows of the Past

Chloe's Point of View

The tension between Jonathan and me had been palpable since that night. The weight of Victor's threat, Isabella's games, and the looming meeting—it all felt like a ticking time bomb. And I wasn't sure how long we could keep things from blowing up.

Jonathan hadn't said much the next morning as he got dressed for work, but I could tell he was thinking about everything. He carried the burden of the company, his father's expectations, and now, the complicated web we were entangled in. But even though he didn't say much, there was a shift in the air between us. Something different.

I finished getting ready for work, running my fingers through my hair one last time before stepping out of the bedroom. Jonathan stood near the door, his jacket already on. He looked up when he saw me, his eyes lingering just a bit longer than usual.

"You ready?" he asked, his voice a bit softer than I expected.

I nodded. "Yeah, I'm ready."
