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 27: Unraveling the Truth

Chloe's Point of View

The air was thick with tension as Jonathan's words sank in. My heart pounded in my chest, each beat echoing like a warning of what was to come.

"They've frozen the company's assets."

I blinked, trying to process the gravity of the situation. The company—the very thing that held our marriage together, the reason we were bound by this contract—was now on the verge of collapse. And with it, everything I had been fighting to protect.

"How… how could this happen so fast?" I stammered, my voice barely a whisper.

Jonathan didn't respond right away. His gaze was locked on the phone in his hand, his jaw clenched so tightly I thought it might snap. Finally, he turned toward me, his eyes dark and filled with a fury I hadn't seen in him before.
