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 10: Clearing Things

Chloe's Point of View

The soft morning light filtered through the grand curtains of the master suite and painted the room in soft, gold hues. I stirred awake, heavy and drained from all that had happened the previous night. My weight settled deep in my muscles, and every inch of me protested the demands put on it. The comfort of the luxurious bed hit me like a cruel kind of irony against the reality of my situation.

As I shifted slightly, the warmth of Jonathan beside me became clear. He lay still, asleep, his breathing steady and calm. The harshness of the previous night felt like a distant storm, leaving behind a silent aftermath. I lay there, struggling with the numbness that had become my shield.
