FALLING FOR THE DANGEROUS BILLIONAIRE

First-Person POVContemporaryCEOContract MarriageLove after Marriage

Pearl Hayes was never meant to be the bride. When her sister runs away on her wedding day, Pearl is forced to take her place to save her struggling family. With her father drowning in debt and her younger brother in desperate need of medical treatment, she has no choice but to marry billionaire heir Dominic Ashford—a man she's never met. What Pearl doesn't know is that Dominic has his own reasons for getting married. Their union is nothing more than a six-month contract designed to protect his inheritance and solve her family's financial problems. After that, they'll walk away from each other forever. But living with Dominic proves far more complicated than Pearl expected. Beneath his cold, controlling exterior is a man she can't quite understand, while her fearless personality constantly challenges the walls he's built around himself. As they navigate public appearances, jealous rivals, family pressures, and the growing attraction neither of them can ignore, the lines between obligation and love begin to blur. What started as a convenient arrangement soon becomes something much more dangerous: a marriage neither of them wants to end. A captivating billionaire romance filled with witty banter, family drama, forced proximity, and a love story between the wrong bride and the only man she was never supposed to fall for.

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE

Pearl's POV "What?!" The word flew out of my mouth before my brain had any say in the matter. Straight into the microphone, loud enough that the journalist in the back row looked up from his notepad. I turned to look at Dominic slowly. He turned to look at me at the same time, and for one single second — so quick I almost convinced myself I imagined it — something moved at the corner of his mouth. A smirk. That absolute bastard. It disappeared just as fast as it came, and his face went back to being a wall, and he raised his hand to my cheek. His fingers curved around my face gently, and from where the cameras were sitting it probably looked tender. Like a husband steadying his overwhelmed wife. From where I was sitting, his grip was just firm enough to be a warning. I smiled anyway. "She wasn't expecting that." He said it warmly, turning back to the room. "We had originally planned the honeymoon for a week after the wedding, but I decided to move it up. I wanted to surprise he

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO

Pearl's POV This man had fucking lost his mind! His bedroom door was at the end of the east hallway. I didn't knock. I probably should have knocked. The rule was very clear about knocking — it was literally Rule One — but I had read Rule One and it had made me angry, so knocking felt like agreeing with it. I pushed the door open and walked in. Dominic Ashford was sitting up in bed with a book open in his lap. He wasn't wearing a shirt. He grabbed the blanket immediately and pulled it up to cover his chest, which told me I had caught him off guard, which was honestly the best thing that had happened to me since yesterday. But I swear I saw his well-sculptured chest. Dammit. But that wasn't why I was here. I walked straight to the bed and dropped the booklet on it. It landed with a flat, deliberate slap between us. "What the hell are these rules?" I said. He looked at the booklet, then at me and then his jaw tightened. "Did you just realise," he said, very slowly, "that you have

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE

Pearl's POV “What the hell are you saying, Mom, Dad?” I shot up from the chair so fast the lilac bridesmaid dress nearly knocked over the vanity table behind me. I hate this dress. I have hated this dress since Vivienne picked it out three months ago and announced it was what her bridal train would be wearing, because Vivienne never once in her life considered whether something worked for anyone other than her. But I still wore it. I wear things that don't fit me so that my family can have what they need. Story of my life. “Pearl, you have to save your family…” Mom started, stepping toward me with that face. I know that face. She pulls it out every time she needs me to clean up one of Vivienne's messes. It has always been like that. I've always been the one clearing Vivienne’s mess, every fuck time. They are always doing everything for her as if I'm not their daughter. "By getting married to a complete stranger?" I cut her off. "Mom, do you hear yourself right now? Do you actua
