My contract marriage with the billionaire

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?

Beneath the Surface

Sam's POV

I woke up to the soft light of dawn spilling through my bedroom window, casting a warm glow over the room. The events of the previous night still lingered in my mind, a haze of memories and emotions that refused to fade. As I sat up, I felt a slight pang in my chest—a reminder of how close I'd come to losing control again. But today, I was determined to regain my focus. 

I got out of bed quietly, moving through the silent house. On my way to the study, I stopped by Bella's room, just to check on her. Her door was slightly ajar, and I could see her curled up under the blankets, still fast asleep. There was a sense of calm in her face, a softness that made me pause. After last night, something felt different. She'd stayed by my side, comforting me without demanding answers, her quiet strength offering me peace. For a moment, I thought about waking her, but I decided against it. She needed her rest.
