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?

Family Matters

Sam's POV

My phone buzzed insistently, cutting through the noise in my mind. I was still reeling from the news about my grandfather's coma, his face and all the memories of him replaying in my mind. I glanced at the screen Uncle Peter. 

I took a deep breath, bracing myself. Uncle Peter didn't usually call unless it was important.

"Sam," he said the moment I picked up, his voice tense. "We need to talk. Things are getting out of hand."

"What do you mean?" I asked, feeling a chill settle over me. There was already enough chaos without something else stirring.

"It's Kelvin," he said, barely pausing. "With the chairman out of commission, he's planning to assume control. He's already maneuvering himself into the top seat. If we don't act soon, he'll be in full control of the company."
