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 33: Shields and Secrets

Jonathan's words still echoed in Chloe's mind as she sat on the edge of the bed, heart racing from Victor's sinister warning. The lingering threat hung between them like a thick fog, and she struggled to process the weight of it all. Jonathan paced back and forth, eyes dark with fury, his every move radiating a quiet, controlled intensity.

"Victor won't stop," Chloe whispered, looking down at her hands. "He'll do anything to break us, especially now…"

Jonathan stopped pacing, his gaze softening as it met hers. "He won't touch you, Chloe. Or our child. I'll make sure of that."

For a moment, there was a softness between them, an unspoken understanding. Chloe placed a hand over her stomach, a gentle smile forming on her lips. In that instant, she could feel a protective instinct rising within her. Whatever came their way, she knew she would stand by Jonathan's side.
