Bound to the Billionaire
Camilla Hart’s life is small but warm, filled with early mornings with her best friend Anya and caring for her sick aunt Roseline. An encounter with an arrogant stranger that she spilled coffee, will change everything. That same stranger, Adrian Harrington, a billionaire CEO, shows up at her big presentation. Impressed, he offers her a job as his personal assistant.
Camilla is thrown into a world of glass walls, power games, and sharp eyes that never stop watching. Her desk sits just a glass wall away from Adrian Harrington’s — the arrogant billionaire she can’t escape from him. Everything changed when Adrian puts a contract in front of her: one year as his wife. No intimacy, no questions, no strings. In return, her aunt’s surgery will be paid for, and 20 million dollars . Cornered, Camilla signs.
A dinner party with Adrian’s powerful family push her to her limits.Eleanor, Adrian's grandmother looks down on her because of her background, his father shows kindness, and just when she starts finding her place, Adrian’s childhood sweetheart, Celine, comes back to claim him. Jealousy simmers, sparks ignite, and the “rules” of their marriage start to break.
Between late-night arguments, almost-kisses, and truths they’re too afraid to say , something real grows. But just as Camilla begins to trust what’s happening between them, her world is rocked: her long-lost father returns, wealthy and powerful, carrying secrets that turn her life upside down.
When the contract ends, Camilla walks away, determined to stand on her own. But Adrian won’t let her go. In front of both families, at an engagement party no one saw coming, he makes his choice clear: what started as a deal on paper has become the only promise that matters.

Chapter: Chapter 26 — The Quiet DifferenceMorning came with the sound of rain tapping softly against the glass windows of the mansion. The air felt calm, almost like the house itself was trying to wash away the storm from last night.Camilla woke up early that morning because sleep had been short for her. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Adrian’s face, his anger, his closeness, that voice that had wrapped around her like smoke.She pushed the thought aside as she brushed her hair in front of the mirror, reminding herself again, it’s just a contract, Camilla. Don’t get lost.By the time she went downstairs, the house was quiet except for faint clattering sounds from the kitchen. She followed them.Mrs. Helen, the older housekeeper, was struggling to reach the top shelf to get a jar of honey. Camilla smiled faintly and walked over.“Let me help,” she said softly, grabbing it with ease and setting it on the counter.The woman chuckled. “You shouldn’t trouble yourself, madam. That’s what we are here for.”Camilla shook her

Chapter: Chapter 25 — The Jealous StormThe car ride, back home was silent.Camilla sits with her arms crossed, staring out the window, pretending the city lights flashing by didn’t bother her eyes, she was very angry . Adrian has not said a single word since he dragged her away from the gala, his hand was firm around her wrist, his face unreadable but dark, when he dragged her out.The second they stepped inside the mansion, he dropped his keys on the table. The sound made her flinch, not from fear,but from the anger boiling inside her.She turned to him slowly. “We could have at least said goodbye to the hosts, Adrian.”His coat was already off. “You didn’t seem in a hurry to say goodbye.” He said while loosening his tie.Camilla frowned. “What is that supposed to mean?”Adrian’s gaze lifted to hers, sharp and steady. “You were busy smiling at him.”She blinked. “At who?”“The man in the navy suit,” he said tightly. “You were busy smiling at every word he says, like he was your lover”“Oh, for God’s sake,” she muttered, th

Chapter: Chapter 24 -The Gala NightThe red carpet glowed under camera flashes. Reporters called out names, lights flashed brighter each time a big name arrived. Then the crowd gasped as Adrian Harrington stepped out of his black car, tall and sharp in a custom tux.But it wasn’t just him that drew attention, it was the woman beside him.Camilla Rivers.Whispers spread fast. “Who is she? Is that the new woman with Harrington?Who’s she?”“Is that the woman Adrian’s been seen with?”“She’s gorgeous.”Adrian turned toward her, extending his arm with that quiet, commanding confidence that only he had.“Ready?” he asked, his voice low enough for only her to hear.Camilla slipped her hand through his arm and smiled softly , trying not to look nervous “I guess.” They walked past the flashing lights together. They looked perfect, powerful, elegant, untouchable.Inside the hall, soft jazz played and champagne was served to the guests. Adrian and Camilla greeted a few business associates, smiling and chatting like they belonged

Chapter: Chapter 23 — The Line Between UsThe air in the hallway felt tense but calm, that kind of silence that comes before something important.Camilla held her tablet close as she walked beside Adrian. Her heels clicked lightly against the marble floor, her steps perfectly in sync with his, though she refused to look at him.He looked every inch the CEO, expensive suits and wristwatch, expression unreadable. He didn’t say much, just walked with quiet confidence that made people straighten the moment he appeared.When the boardroom doors opened, the chatter inside stopped immediately.Everyone stood.“Good afternoon, Mr. Harrington,” one of the directors greeted quickly.Adrian gave a short nod, his voice calm and deep. “Good afternoon. Please, have a seat.”They obeyed instantly. Camilla could almost feel the weight of respect he carried. She followed him inside, her face composed, though her heart was racing under her blouse.Adrian sat at the head of the table. Camilla took the spot beside him, her tablet already glowi

Chapter: Chapter 22– Celine in the office The next morning, the air in the car was quiet but not calm.Camilla sat beside Adrian as they drove to the office, pretending to scroll through her phone, though her eyes hadn’t moved in five minutes. Her reflection in the tinted window looked collected, smooth hair, calm eyes, unbothered expression. The perfect mask.Adrian , one hand on the wheel, looked straight ahead. His profile was unreadable, as always, but the silence between them wasn’t the comfortable kind. It felt like something unspoken was sitting in the space, breathing between them.When they reached the building, he opened her door before she could. That tiny act of a gentleman, didn’t make her heart flutter anymore. It just made her want to roll her eyes.Inside the elevator, the mirrored walls caught the faint tension between them. She pretends not to care, him watching her out of the corner of his eye.Finally, he broke the silence. “You are quieter than usual.”Camilla didn’t look up. “I’m working, Adrian. Not aud

Chapter: Chapter 21 — Night WhispersAt night, after Camilla finished having her evening bath, the air in the bedroom still felt heavy, carrying the echo of Celine’s visit.Camilla sat in front of the mirror, brushing her hair in slow, distracted strokes. Each pull of the brush seemed to drag her thoughts deeper into the memories of the moment of Celine’s arms wrapped around Adrian, her soft perfume, her perfect laugh that clung to the walls long after she left.Camilla sighed, dropping the brush on the dresser. “God, this is stupid,” she muttered to herself, but her chest still hurt.She wasn’t supposed to feel like this. Not in a marriage that was supposed to be just paperwork and signatures. Not when they had rules, boundaries, and zero romance.But the image wouldn’t leave her head.Celine hugging him.Adrian not pushing her away.Her hand gripped the brush again, a little tighter this time. She dragged it through her hair like she could brush the thought out of her mind.Then came the sound of the door, a soft click
