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 32: The Unspoken Truth

Chloe sat in her office, mindlessly tapping her pen against a stack of reports. Her gaze drifted to the window, the soft glow of the cityscape contrasting with the storm churning inside her. The lingering tension from Victor's threats hung heavy, but something else was stirring within her—a sensation that had been nagging at her for days. Exhaustion clung to her, and her focus kept drifting, a peculiar combination of queasiness and fatigue making her feel detached from reality.

As she glanced at the clock, her stomach twisted again, this time with a more distinct discomfort. Chloe brushed it off, attributing it to the sleepless nights or the relentless pressure Victor had inflicted on her.
