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?

Stripped of Power 

After what felt like an eternity, the heavy wooden doors to the meeting room creaked open. The Asher family members filed out, their expressions a mix of satisfaction and restrained glee. My heart pounded as I scanned their faces, searching for any hint of what had been decided. When I saw Kelvin step out, smugness radiating from him like a dark aura, I felt my stomach drop.

Jacob joined me, his face tense. "It's worse than I thought," he murmured, glancing at me with concern. "Kelvin... he's been given control of things until the chairman recovers."

"What?" I could barely process his words. "Control? Over everything?"

Jacob nodded. "Yes, over all of the major assets and decisions. It's temporary, but... Bella, without the chairman, Sam's influence and authority in the company have been gutted. They've given Kelvin the reins, and he's taking full advantage."
