MY BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND IS A MURDERER
Maria never imagined she would marry a billionaire, especially not under a contract.
After her mother’s death, Maria becomes the sole provider for her struggling family. With a crippled sister to care for and a sick father whose treatment costs more than she can afford, her life is filled with endless work, humiliation, and sacrifice. Just when it seems like everything is about to collapse, an unexpected offer changes her life forever.
Walton James, the cold and powerful new CEO of his father’s billion-dollar empire, has no interest in love. After several painful relationships, he refuses to open his heart again. But when his terminally ill father gives him an ultimatum—marry within a year or lose the company—Walton decides to solve the problem in the simplest way possible: a contract marriage.
When he meets Maria and discovers the desperate situation surrounding her family, he offers her a deal she cannot refuse. One year as his wife in exchange for enough money to save her father and secure her family’s future.
No love. No emotions. Just a business arrangement.
But as months pass, the distance between them slowly fades, and Maria begins to see a side of Walton that no one else ever has.
Then everything falls apart.
A powerful businessman is found dead, and Walton James becomes the prime suspect. Within days, his reputation is destroyed, his company is dragged through scandal, and he is arrested for a crime he insists he didn’t commit.
As the world calls her husband a murderer, Maria refuses to walk away. Determined to uncover the truth, she stands beside him even when everyone else turns their backs.
But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous everything becomes.

He came to our wedding."“Are you sure? Mr. Harrison said."Positive. He was behind us, looking. I was thinking he was a business partner. He looked at Walton in a way..." she paused, trying to remember the look in the man's eyes. "It was not good."The lawyer opened a file on his system, typing.
