The Billionaire's Contract Bride
Sophia thought she was about to marry the man she loved. Instead, at her own engagement party, her fiancé publicly announces that he is marrying her sister.
Heartbroken and humiliated, Sophia's life falls apart—until Alexander Kane, the city's cold and ruthless billionaire CEO, offers her a shocking deal: ten million dollars to become his wife for one year.
Desperate to save her struggling family, Sophia accepts.
But Alexander has a secret.
He didn't choose Sophia by accident. Fifteen years ago, his father's mysterious death was connected to Sophia's family, and Alexander believes her father knows the truth.
Their marriage begins as a contract filled with strict rules and no promises of love. But as Sophia enters Alexander's dangerous world, secrets begin to surface, attraction becomes impossible to ignore, and the line between fake marriage and real feelings starts to disappear.
Sophia thought she was selling one year of her life.
She never imagined she was marrying the man who might destroy—or completely change—her world.

Chapter: A Dangerous TruthMy father's name echoed inside my head.Your father was responsible for my father's death.I stared at Alexander."No."The word barely left my lips.His mother looked away.Alexander remained completely still."No," I repeated, louder this time. "My father couldn't have done that.""You don't know what your father was capable of," Alexander said.I shook my head."You're lying."His jaw tightened."I wish I were."I stepped backward.My fingers trembled."Then why did you marry me?"Alexander didn't answer."Was this your plan from the beginning?"Still nothing."You knew my family was in trouble. You knew my engagement was falling apart. You knew everything."I looked at the ring on my finger."You planned all of this."His silence was answer enough.Tears burned my eyes."Was the ten million dollars just another part of your revenge?""No."His answer came immediately.That surprised me."Then what was it?"Alexander walked toward me.I stepped back."Don't."He stopped.His eyes w

Chapter: The Kane MansionThe moment I signed my name, I felt as though I'd made a deal with the devil.Alexander took the contract from me and carefully placed it inside his desk.Then he picked up the diamond ring."Your hand."I stared at him."What?""Your hand, Sophia."I hesitated before extending it.He slid the ring onto my finger.The diamond caught the light.It was beautiful.Too beautiful for a marriage that wasn't real.I stared at it."Tomorrow, the engagement will be announced."My head snapped up."Tomorrow?""Yes.""You didn't tell me.""You didn't ask."I glared at him."Do you always make decisions without telling people?""Usually.""You're impossible.""I've been told."He turned toward the door."Come.""Where?""Your room."I froze."My what?""You're moving in tonight."I stared at him."You said tomorrow.""I changed my mind.""Alexander!"He stopped.I followed him through the enormous hallway, still angry."I don't even have my clothes.""Everything has been arranged.""Everything?"

Chapter: His ProposalI couldn't stop staring at Daniel."Alexander threatened you?"He nodded."Yes."My heart felt like it was being crushed all over again."Then why didn't you tell me?"Daniel looked ashamed."Because he threatened your family."I shook my head."No. You're lying.""Sophia—""You betrayed me in front of everyone.""I know.""You stood beside my sister and announced that you were marrying her.""I had no choice."A bitter laugh escaped my lips."Everyone has a choice, Daniel."He looked down."I was afraid.""Afraid of Alexander?""Yes."I wanted to believe him.I really did.But there was something about the way he looked at me that made me suspicious.Then my father spoke."Daniel is telling the truth."I turned toward him."Dad?"My father's face was pale."Alexander Kane has been involved with our family for years."I stared at him."Why didn't you ever tell me?""Because I wanted you to have a normal life.""A normal life?"My voice broke."You let me spend five years with a man wh

Chapter: The SecretI stood outside the conference room, barely breathing.Daniel's voice came through the slightly open door."Sophia doesn't know anything."My heart pounded.What didn't I know?I pressed myself against the wall as Alexander's voice followed."That's exactly why she's useful."My stomach dropped.Useful?I wanted to push the door open, but something stopped me.Fear.For the first time since meeting Alexander, I was genuinely afraid of what I might hear.Daniel spoke again."You promised she wouldn't get involved.""I promised nothing.""Then what do you want from her?"Silence.Then Alexander answered."Her."My breath caught.I stepped backward.My heel struck the floor.The voices inside stopped.The conference room door opened.Alexander stood there.His expression was unreadable.Behind him, Daniel looked terrified.Emma was sitting beside him, her face pale.Alexander's eyes met mine."How much did you hear?"I stared at him."Enough."He stepped outside and closed the door behin

Chapter: The RulesI barely slept that night.The contract sat on my bedside table, staring at me like a warning.Ten million dollars.One year.A fake marriage.It sounded simple.But nothing about Alexander Kane felt simple.By seven the next morning, I was sitting across from him in a private office at Kane Enterprises.The building was enormous.Glass walls stretched toward the sky, while employees in expensive suits hurried through the lobby with their heads lowered.Everyone seemed afraid of Alexander.I understood why.The moment I entered his office, the entire atmosphere changed.He sat behind a large black desk, reading through a document.He didn't look up."You're late."I glanced at my phone."By three minutes.""Three minutes is late."I rolled my eyes."You invited me at seven. It's seven-oh-three."His eyes finally lifted.Cold.Sharp.Unamused.I immediately regretted arguing with him."Sit."I took the chair opposite him.He pushed a second folder across the desk."The contract."I ope
