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?

The Struggle for Control

Sam's POV

As soon as my phone buzzed, I knew it was bad news. The flashing screen displayed the hospital's number, and my stomach twisted. Without a second thought, I grabbed my coat and bolted out of the office, leaving Bella's introduction to the company abruptly cut short. My mind raced, the possibility of losing my grandfather looming like a shadow as I sped to the hospital. 

The sterile smell of disinfectants filled my nose the second I stepped inside, followed closely by a quiet, tense hum that seemed to press down on everyone present. The nurses and doctors moved quickly and silently through the hall, their expressions tight. My grandfather—the man who had not only raised me but built the empire our family stood upon—was fighting for his life just down the hall, and nothing could feel more out of control.

I approached the front desk. "Sam Asher. I'm here for my grandfather's room."
