His Contract Wife is a secret heiress

Fake and Real Heir Heir/Heirness Hidden Identity Contract Marriage

Amelia Sinclair is the hidden heiress to Sinclair Global, one of the world's most powerful business empires. Tired of men who desire her wealth rather than her heart, she decides to conceal her identity and live like an ordinary woman, hoping to discover what genuine love feels like. Her plans take an unexpected turn when she meets Dominic Ashford, a cold, arrogant billionaire CEO who needs a wife to fulfill a condition in his grandfather's will. With no interest in romance, Dominic offers Amelia a twelve-month marriage contract with strict rules, separate bedrooms, and no emotional attachments. Amelia accepts, believing the arrangement will give her a chance to experience life without the privileges of her family name. However, living with Dominic proves more complicated than expected. Beneath his cold personality, she begins discovering a man with hidden wounds, while Dominic slowly becomes fascinated by the woman he believes is ordinary. Their growing connection is threatened by his jealous ex-girlfriend, family interference, business rivalries, and painful misunderstandings. When Dominic fails to defend Amelia against public humiliation, she decides to end their marriage and walk away. But when her true identity as Sinclair Global's heiress is revealed, Dominic realizes that the woman he underestimated is far more powerful than he imagined. Now he must fight for the love he never thought he needed, but will Amelia give him another chance?

Chapter: The woman behind the note

Dominic stood beside the sofa, staring at the notes in Amelia's book.He had seen hundreds of business reports in his life.These notes were different.She had analyzed a case study about a struggling company and identified three mistakes in its expansion strategy.More interestingly, she had suggested a solution.He looked at Amelia.She was still asleep.“How did you learn all this?” he whispered.Amelia shifted slightly.Dominic immediately placed the book back on the table.A few seconds later, her eyes opened.She blinked sleepily.“Dominic?”“You fell asleep.”She sat up quickly.“I wasn't waiting for you.”“I didn't say you were.”“Good.”He almost smiled.Then his eyes moved to the book.“You're interested in business?”Amelia glanced at it.“A little.”“A little?”She shrugged.“I like understanding how companies work.”“Where did you study?”Amelia hesitated.“Different places.”Dominic noticed the hesitation.Again.“You always give vague answers.”“Maybe you ask too many q

Chapter: First night as a wife

Amelia sat quietly on the edge of the bed, staring at the wedding ring on her finger.Mrs Ashford.The title felt strange.Not because she disliked it.Because it was supposed to mean something completely different.A wife was supposed to share a life with her husband.Laugh with him.Trust him.Love him.Amelia had none of those things.She had a contract.Twelve months.That was all.A soft knock interrupted her thoughts.She looked toward the door.“Come in.”Dominic opened it.He was no longer wearing his suit jacket. His tie was gone, leaving him looking less like the intimidating CEO everyone feared.“I wanted to make sure you were comfortable,” he said.Amelia raised an eyebrow.“Are you checking on your contract wife?”His expression remained serious.“Yes.”She smiled.“At least you're honest.”Dominic stepped inside but remained near the door.“Your room has everything you need.”“I noticed.”“And if there's anything missing, tell the staff.”“Okay.”Silence followed.Amelia

The car will arrive at eight-thirty.Amelia stared at the message.No good morning.No congratulations.Just instructions.She smiled.Good morning to you too, Mr. Romantic.His reply came almost immediately.Good morning.She laughed.Better.A few seconds later:Don't be late.Amelia rolled her eyes.“Impossible man.”A knock came at her bedroom door.seraphina entered.She stopped when she saw Amelia.For once, she didn't make a joke.“You look beautiful.”Amelia smiled.“Thank you.”seraphina walked closer and adjusted the veil.“Are you sure?”Amelia looked at herself in the mirror.The

Don't argue.Twenty minutes later, seraphina arrived carrying two shopping bags.“I brought emergency supplies.”Amelia looked inside.Chocolate.Perfume.Face masks.And a bottle of sparkling juice.“You're ridiculous.”“I'm your best friend.

Chapter: The crack

Amelia couldn't stop thinking about her grandfather's warning.Someone was investigating her.And that someone was Vanessa Harrington.She sat in the back of Gabriel's car, staring through the window as the city passed by.“Are you alright, Miss Amelia?” Gabriel asked.“Yes.”He glanced at her through the mirror.“You don't look alright.”Amelia sighed.“Vanessa is asking questions about my family.”Gabriel's expression changed.“How much does she know?”“I don't know yet.”“That could become a problem.”“I know.”Gabriel tightened his grip on the steering wheel.“Should I inform your grandfather?”“He already knows.”Amelia looked down at the file resting on her lap.For years, she had been careful.She never used the Sinclair family name publicly. She avoided luxury events whenever possible. Even her personal accounts were deliberately modest.But she had never considered that someone might become suspicious simply because she was too difficult to find.She closed the file.“I don't
