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?

A Thorn in the Path

Bella's POV

The morning light streamed through the curtains, soft and warm, as I stretched, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. But as I reached over, I realized Sam wasn't there. My heart sank a bit, though I knew better than to let it show. 

"Miss Bella," a maid's voice echoed from the doorway. "Mr. Sam has already left for work, but Jonathan is waiting downstairs. He'll take you to the Asher family company headquarters as requested."

My eyes widened in surprise. Sam hadn't mentioned taking me to the company this morning. Still, if he wanted me to get a glimpse of the family business, I wasn't about to back down.
