Unravelling the Billionaire's Bride
After a tragic accident killed her father and made her mother unconscious, Anna was thinking about how to raise money for her mother's treatment when she met Lewis Cole, an intelligent billionaire who needs a wife to secure his inheritance before his thirty-second birthday.
Anna seems to be a perfect candidate, but she was not interested in Lewis because she has a crush on Lewis’s brother, Stefan.
Desperate, Anna takes Lewis’s one-year contract marriage offer. She soon finds out that living with a traumatized man is not easy, especially when his presence awakens feelings she never knew she had.
Lewis shows her affection in public but is cold in private. He tries to keep their relationship professional, but the woman he once kissed in a drunken state turns out to be more than a convenient bride.
Their budding relationship was ruined when Annabelle was discovered pregnant... and Lewis is not the one responsible.
An anonymous envelope of unexpected truths and plots of manipulation and betrayal comes to further shake the foundation of their trust.
Can a marriage built on contract survive the truth, or will their pasts destroy their chance at a real future?
Will they find love after marriage or separate and become strangers?

Chapter: SENT AWAY "You’re wasting your life, Annabelle," James shouted, his brow knitted in fury.Her father didn't shout often, but when he did, it was so loud that the sound could slice through steel.She stood before him in his study, like a guilty child who was caught stealing, her fingers curled together around her sketchbook. “It’s not a waste,” she said quietly. “It’s what I’m talented at. It is what I love.”James Bennett slammed the paper he was reading down on the table and rose. “Love doesn’t put food on the table, Anna. Love doesn’t pay bills or secure your future. You were supposed to go to law school. You were supposed to follow my footsteps.”“But I'm not you.” She stared in defiance."Yes, but you should have done better than this." He pointed at one of the sketches she'd shown him.“You mean I can't follow my own path?” she asked, blinking hard.“You deceived me, Annabelle,” he turned to look out the window of his study. “For four years, you made me believe you were studying law while

Chapter: PROLOGUE (Continued) Anna froze where she stood. The MC had called on the Vice chancellor to present her award, and he was already waiting on stage. Everyone was looking at her, wondering why she didn't move.“Miss Anna Bennett.” The MC called into the mic again. It was then she snapped from her reverie.“Please come up to receive your award.” He gestured to the waiting vice chancellor.Anna took a step, surprised that her feet still obeyed her brain. She moved mechanically to the stage, collected the award and barely waited for the photographer to capture her before she walked back. Everyone was looking at her now, for her behavior was not normal.Jessica, who had been pacing near the front, caught her as soon as she descended the stage, but she shrugged her off and continued walking. Jessica followed her, and when she grabbed Anna again, she turned and gave Jessica her plaque.It looks like the alcohol was working now because she took bold, determined steps to where Casper was standing with Bella and he

Chapter: PROLOGUEAnna was so elated as she looked forward to the award party being hosted for the art contest participants for two reasons—she was one of the awardees, and she'd overheard Casper (her boyfriend) telling his friend he had a surprise planned for the party. They were about to complete their junior year so maybe he wants to propose, and to no one else but her!Whatever the surprise is, she was so looking forward to it that she kept smiling as she ironed her dress. She sketched the design herself and had a dressmaker sew it specially for the occasion. She lifted it to check if there was any overlooked crease when she heard a car honk outside her apartment and peeped to see Jessica had arrived. Putting on her dress in a hurry, she stepped out to meet Jessica.Jessica bent a little to stare at her as she approached the car. "Why are you blushing? You look like someone going for their first date."She laughed as she sat in the passenger seat. "In case you forgot, I am an awardee and..." She lo
