More than a billionaires contract
A six-month contract. Ten million dollars. No strings attached.
Desperate to save her failing business, Zara agrees to date billionaire heir River Cassian under a carefully drafted contract arranged by his best friend, Oliver. Love was never part of the deal. She planned to take the money, rebuild her life, and walk away.
But River is nothing like she expected.
Just as their fake relationship begins to feel real, Zara stumbles upon a shocking connection between River’s family and the past she has spent ten years trying to escape.
The deeper she digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Hidden betrayals, family conspiracies, and long-buried crimes force her to confront the man who destroyed her childhood while protecting the family she never expected to love.
As enemies close in and secrets threaten to tear them apart, Zara must decide whether to trust the man whose family is tied to her darkest memories—or risk losing the only future she has ever wanted.
In a story where love is born from deception and justice demands the ultimate sacrifice, one question remains:
Can love survive the truth?

Chapter: Billionaire on vacation(II)Zara I sat near the edge of the deck, watching the coastline in the distance as the familiar resort slowly disappeared behind us. “Where are we going?” He doesn’t look up. “You’ll see.” That answer only made me more curious than I had been before. A few minutes later, something appeared in the distance. At first, I thought it was another resort. But then when the yacht moved closer, I realized it was more secluded. A private stretch of white sand curved along the coastline, it was like a villa amongst other villas. Each separated from others by enough space to offer complete privacy. Just the ocean, trees and a property in between them. “Is that….”I looked at River. He finally lifted his eyes from his phone. “What?” “Are we going there?” My mouth fell open slightly. “Yes.” He looked towards the villa. “We will be staying there till this is finally over.” The yacht moved toward the private dock. I watched the staff prepare to secure it. The yacht finally stopped and Rive

Chapter: Billionaire on vacation(1)Zara I spotted River at breakfast, sitting alone at the table overlooking the ocean. As usual he looked completely unbothered by everything around him.I walked toward him with the resort brochure in my hand. “Good morning.” He lifted his eyes from his coffee. “Morning.” I pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down. “I found something interesting that we could do today.” “What?” “The resort has activities and they all look interesting. So we will be doing all of them.” He shrugged. “I’m not interested.” “If you were not interested, why are you still here? You would have left before sunrise without a word, exactly the way you came.” “I will not leave because you want me to leave.”“That’s not what I asked.” I picked up the brochure and went through it for the third time this morning. “Since you are here, you might as well do something fun for once in your life.” I flipped through the brochure. “Let’s see….” “I said I was not interested Zara.” “There is kayaking, snor

Chapter: Pieces of herRiver I left Zara’s room and closed the door behind me. I stood there for a moment, staring at the handle. What the hell was wrong with me? I had been inches away from kissing her. Worse, I wanted to. I had water to know how her lips felt like against mine. I wanted to close that small distance between us and finally give in to the temptation I have been fighting since the day she stepped inside my house. But I couldn’t, because once I started, I wasn’t sure I would know when to stop. And I couldn’t afford that. I walked down the hallway and headed to the bar. Maybe a drink or two would clear my head. The bar was quieter than I had expected. A few guests sat scattered around the room, their conversations blending with soft music playing in the background. I took a seat at the bar stand. “Whiskey,” I told the bartender. He poured it and slid the glass towards me. I took a sip. But it didn’t hit me the way it normally would. I needed to occupy my mind. Zara was still in my

Chapter: One breath awayZara By the time I arrived at the resort, I had already decided that I was going to enjoy myself to the fullest. The lady at the reception welcomed me with a smile before handing me over to Ike of the resort attendants, who led me through a beautifully landscaped path toward my room. When the door opened, I stopped. “WOW.” The room was enormous. A king sized bed sat in the middle, surrounded by comfortable loungers and white umbrellas.“Okay..”Maybe coming alone wasn’t such a bad idea after all. I immediately grabbed my phone and called Elizabeth. “Finally!” “You need to see this.” I turned the camera around to give her a full room tour. “”Zara!” “I know.” “That’s your room?” “Apparently.” “Girl I would disappear if I had a room like that.” “It’s so big and beautiful.” “Make sure you enjoy every second of your stay there. Don’t think about anything.” We talked for another minute before I ended the call. There was a private pool at the side of the room. The view was

Chapter: What do women like?River The door closed behind Zara. I remained where I was. Unmoved and unbothered. I simply just stared at the spot where she had disappeared from. I exhaled slowly and leaned back on my chair. What the hell is wrong with me?The disappointment she had on her face just kept playing in my head. She came to my office all excited and I could have just played along with it. But I did what I knew how to do best. Act cold and pretend as if I don’t care. I rubbed my hand over my face. The truth was that I wanted to go. When she asked, my immediate instinct had been to say yes. But I just had to say no. My door opened just in time to disrupt me from my thoughts. “Sir, we are ready for you.” I simply nodded and stood up from my chair. I picked up the files on my desk and headed towards the board room. The marketing director stood at the front with a smile on her face. “Good afternoon Mr. Cassian.” I took my sweet at the end of the table. “Good afternoon.” I said, clearing my throa

Chapter: Why did it hurt?Zara I was half way through packing when I realized I had no idea what I was doing. There were clothes scattered across my bed, two pairs of shoes sitting beside my suitcase, and a small pile of things I still hadn’t decided whether I actually needed. I picked up another dress and stared at it. Then I folded it and placed it inside. This trip had been the most anticipated things for me this week. I had looked forward to it for the longest. It will just be me and Elizabeth taking a break from everything and having real fun. Speaking of Elizabeth, I picked up my phone and dialed her number. She appeared on my screen and I immediately looked away. “Elizabeth.” She laughed. “What? Haven’t you seen my boobs before?” “Can you put some clothes on?” “No. I’m in my house and I can do whatever I want. And you could do the same too. Maybe River might just walk in on you and who knows, you guys might have a good time.” “That is not happening.” “You need to get laid, girl, it’s been w
