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 5 – The ContractMorning light spilled through the small kitchen window. The smell of toasted bread and scrambled eggs filled the air. Camilla slipped her shoes on, her nerves making her fumble with the strap.“Sit down, you’ll make yourself dizzy.”She looked up. Anya Wells stood by the counter, her dark hair tied messily in a bun, flipping eggs in a pan.“I’m fine,” Camilla lied, forcing a small smile.“You’re shaking,” Anya said, her eyes narrowing as she carried a plate to the table. “Big day, huh?”Camilla sat, brushing invisible crumbs off her skirt. “Yeah. My first real day.”Anya plopped the plate in front of her and then pulled a small lunchbox from the counter. “Made this for you. Sandwiches, apple slices, and those cookies you like.” She pushed it into Camilla’s bag before Camilla could argue. “Don’t skip lunch because you’re nervous.”Camilla’s chest softened. “You didn’t have to …”“I wanted to.” Anya smiled. “I’m proud of you.”Before Camilla could reply, a cough sounded from the hallway

Chapter: Chapter 4 – The NewsThe bus ride home felt longer. Camilla sat by the window, holding her laptop bag against her chest like it was the only thing keeping her together. Her reflection in the glass looked pale, her eyes too wide, as if even she couldn’t believe the words she had spoken an hour ago.“I will do it.”Her own voice kept repeating in her head. What had she done?By the time the bus screeched to her stop, the sky was painted orange, fading to grey. Seattle’s evening was breezy as she hurried down the familiar street to her home. The apartment building was old, but it was home. She climbed the stairs two at a time, her heartbeat uneven, not from the climb, but from the weight of the secret in her chest.As she pushed the door open.“Camilla!”Anya’s voice came from the kitchen. She appeared with a wooden spoon in hand, her hair tied in a bun, flour on her left cheek. “Finally. I was about to send a search party.”Camilla forced a small smile. “I had a busy day.”“Busy day? That’s what you call i

Chapter: Chapter 3 – The OfferEveryone was leaving the conference, Papers shuffled, polite laughter echoed. Camilla gathered her notes, trying to calm her shaky hands. Her presentation was over. Somehow, she got through it.She glanced at Adrian Harrington, he was composed as ever, his dark suit sharp against the polished wood. His eyes, though, were not on his laptop or the departing managers. They were on her, through out the presentation.That look made her heart skip.“Miss Hart,” Adrian’s deep voice cut through the air, smooth yet commanding. “Stay behind,I want to discuss with you.”Her pen nearly slipped from her hand. She looked up, startled.“Yes, sir?”The last two board men exchanged curious glances, but didn't say anything. They all left, until it was just the two of them in the big room. The door was closed, and there was silence.Camilla holds her file tightly to her chest. “If it’s about the slides, I can...”“It’s not about that” Adrian interrupted, sits in his chair. His gaze pinned on her. “Sit.

Chapter: Chapter 2 – The Stranger in the Suit
Camilla’s heart drummed as she hurries through the lobby of the tall Harrington Global building. There were glass doors everywhere, the marble floors shone like water, and her shoe echoed in her ears and her legs were shaky.She was holding her laptop bag tightly, trying to catch her breathe and calm her nerves. This was her moment. Weeks of preparation, nights of no sleep, all for this. If she impressed the board today, her life could change. If she failed… she didn’t even want to think about it. This is the only way to gather more money for Aunt Roseline's surgery bill.The receptionist looked at Camilla with a professional smile. “Miss Hart?”“Yes,” Camilla answered, her voice small and shaky .“Conference room on the twenty-first floor. The executives are waiting.”Her palms went sweaty. Waiting Executives?. Big men and women in suits who could decide her fate with a nod or a shake of the head.Camilla tries to calm her nerves as she walked towards the elevator, “You’ve got thi

Chapter: Chapter 1 – Coffee and ArroganceSeattle was not kind that morning. The rain fell hard, soaking Camilla Hart’s coat no matter how tightly she wrapped it around herself. Her boots make a splash through the wet floors of the street, as she hurries down the crowded street. Clutching her bag to her chest as if it held her entire future. Which it did.Her hair was damp and her blouse wet from the rain, and her eyes swollen from lack of sleep. She had stayed up all night going through her presentation again and again. Business management strategies. The words felt heavy but important. This presentation could open the door to a company she had only dreamed of working for. Her chance at a career. Her chance at money. Her chance to finally take care of her sick aunt.Aunt Roseline. The thought of her aunt worried her so much. Roseline had raised her, took care of her, given up her own dreams for her. And now she was very sick. Hospital bills weighed on Camilla’s shoulders. She saved and saved, but it was never enough.
