Married To The Billionaire CEO
When broke waitress Sarah Thompson agrees to impersonate her wealthy best friend Claire on a blind date for a quick thousand dollars, she expects a simple evening of rejection and escape.
What she gets instead is Adrian Cole, a ruthless, devastatingly handsome billionaire who sees right through her lie.
Instead of exposing her, Adrian slides a marriage contract across the table. A temporary arrangement. Public wife by day. No emotions. No physical contact. One million dollar penalty for breaking the rules. And the ultimate condition: she must move into his luxurious penthouse.
Trapped between crippling debt and her dream of opening her own restaurant, Sarah has no choice but to play along. But as Adrian’s cold dominance begins to crack with unexpected intensity, and his powerful family demands a real introduction, the lines between pretense and dangerous attraction start to blur.
He knows she’s an imposter.
She knows this game could destroy her.
In a world of wealth, secrets, and ruthless expectations, how long can Sarah survive a contract marriage with the one man who refuses to let her go?

Chapter: FIVEI.VChapter Five: The ImpersonatorPOV: AdrianI waited patiently for her to reach out. I expected anger. I expected her to flare up and argue against the contract marriage. I expected strong disagreement with every term I had written. Yet the hours passed in complete silence.Stanley had already reported back after dropping her off at her apartment. The address and her reaction confirmed everything I suspected. She was not the real Claire Bennett.Even after discovering she was an imposter, I felt no immediate need to call her out or punish her for the lie. Instead, a strange new feeling settled deep in my chest. It was an unexpected urge to stay close to her. To observe her longer.She stood out from every woman I had encountered before. She didn't try to curry favor with me or impress me with fake charm. She didn't act cozy or calculating like the others. She seemed free in her responses. Simple in her emotions. Easy to read even when she tried to hide her panic.Later that evenin

Chapter: FOURI.VChapter Four: Contract MarriagePOV: SarahWhat the hell have I gotten myself into?Claire’s thousand dollars suddenly felt like blood money. I muttered curses under my breath as I climbed the stairs to my apartment, still in her ridiculous red dress and heels. I barely noticed my neighbors’ wide-eyed stares at my polished, out-of-place appearance.“What a day,” I groaned, unlocking the door.Claire sat on my bed, legs crossed, looking far too comfortable for someone who had thrown me into the lion’s den. The second I stepped inside, the questions poured out.“Finally! Sarah, how did it go? Did he reject you? You said we need to talk, I tried calling but it didn’t go through. Spill!”Her bubbly tone grated on my already frayed nerves. I dropped onto the bed beside her and shoved the thick folder into her lap without a word.“He wants a contract marriage, Claire,” I said flatly. “No chance to reject him. He just left me with his PA like I was some delivery. I did my part, I showed

Chapter: THREEI.VChapter Three: Contract MarriagePOV: AdrianShe was not Claire Bennett. I knew it the moment she walked into the restaurant. Her demeanor gave her away. Unlike the rich and spoiled heiresses I had met before, this woman carried herself with a simpler air. She looked nothing like the polished photos and reports I had reviewed about the real Claire Bennett. Still, I decided to play along. I wanted to see exactly how far she would take this pretense."Here is the contract marriage deal," I said. I pushed the agreement file across the table toward her. "Go through it and let me know if there is any clause you want added. But none can alter my already written words."I watched her expression shift from calm to pure confusion in a single moment. It almost amused me. Did she not understand what she had stepped into tonight?"Aren't you Claire Bennett?" I asked. I gave her an opening to back out if she chose. "I understand this might feel like a rush. As I said, I also don't want to go

Chapter: TwoI.VChapter Two: Contract Marriage?POV: SarahThe Grand Meridian rose in front of me like it had been built specifically to make people like me feel small. Chandeliers sparkled behind floor-to-ceiling windows. Women in gowns that probably cost more than my rent climbed out of cars while valets rushed to hold their doors. I paid my cab driver with shaky fingers and stepped onto the pavement.Claire's red dress hugged my body a little too tightly. The high heels made my ankles feel unsteady with every step. I looked like someone pretending to belong here. A waitress who had borrowed fancy clothes for one night and hoped no one would notice the difference.The lobby hit me with the scent of expensive perfume mixed with polished marble. Soft piano music drifted through the air like it was part of the atmosphere. I gripped Claire's small purse harder against my side as the receptionist at the front desk looked me up and down with careful eyes."Reservation?" she asked in a polite but coo

Chapter: ONEI.VChapter One: A Blind Date?Pov: Sarah The shrill sound of my 6:00 a.m. alarm drilled into my skull like an angry mosquito on steroids. I groaned, burying my face deeper into the lumpy pillow for one last rebellious second before dragging my exhausted body out of bed.In the bathroom, the mirror didn’t lie. Dark circles hung under my eyes like heavy luggage. At twenty-two, I looked closer to twenty-seven on a bad week. I let out a bitter laugh that echoed off the cracked tiles.“What a pathetic life,” I muttered.After a rushed shower and brushing my teeth so hard my gums stung, I stood in front of my tiny wardrobe. Faded black T-shirt. The only pair of jeans without holes. Same old Sarah. Same tired eyes. Same empty future staring back.I was about to boil water for my daily punishment of instant noodles when the doorbell rang—sharp, impatient.Frowning, I opened the door.Claire stood there looking completely wrecked. Eyes swollen and red, mascara streaked down her cheeks like w
