The Billionaire's Curvy Contract Bride
Evelina Bennett never expected a billionaire to walk into her struggling café... or turn her life upside down.
As a plus-size single mother fighting to save her family's beloved coffee shop, Evelina has no time for romance. After years of emotional abuse from her ex, all she wants is a fresh start for herself and her son. But when the café falls deeper into debt, she finds herself with nowhere to turn.
Then Adrian Beaumont makes her an offer she can't refuse.
Cold, arrogant, and impossibly wealthy, Adrian is a billionaire CEO desperate to repair his public image and secure a business merger that could change his future forever. His solution? A fake engagement.
In exchange for saving her café, Evelina must pretend to be his fiancée.
What starts as a simple arrangement quickly becomes complicated when they move in together. Behind Adrian's ruthless reputation is a man burdened by family expectations, while behind Evelina's insecurities is a woman far stronger than she realizes.
As sparks fly and feelings deepen, jealous rivals, family secrets, and painful betrayals threaten to expose the truth behind their relationship. When the lies that brought them together begin to unravel, Evelina must decide whether she can trust the man who once saw love as nothing more than a business deal.
Can a plus-size woman who has spent years feeling invisible teach a billionaire how to open his heart... or will their fake romance end before it ever has the chance to become real?

Chapter: Chapter one hundred and twenty-two: AccidentThe CenterEvelina and Adrian walked back into the room and sat down beside Adrian’s mother’s bed. They listened to her stories, even when she got some of the details confused. Neither of them cared because they were simply happy to spend time with her.Once visitation time was over, Adrian took his wife’s hand, and together they walked out of the center. While they were in the parking lot, Adrian turned to look at his wife and smiled at her before leaning in and stealing a kiss from her. Evelina playfully slapped him on the chest, and Adrian pretended that it hurt.“What was that for?” he asked with a smile on his face.“Mr. Beaumont, you are too old to be stealing kisses,” Evelina told him in a playful tone.“Well, Mrs. Beaumont, you are my wife after all, and I believe I have every right to steal as many kisses as I want from you,” he playfully responded.The two of th

Chapter: Chapter one hundred and twenty: Silent secretThe next dayThe Beaumont Office BuildingLast night had been terrible for Adrian because not only had Evelina slammed her door in his face, but he had no choice but to sleep in his very own room, just like when the two of them had first met. The argument they had in the car had not meant anything big to him at first because he had only indirectly accused his wife of having an affair with Bonnie. However, he knew that his words had hurt her more than he had intended.Even now, as he sat in the boardroom listening to various employees present different Power Points explaining the upcoming project for his company, Adrian was still not interested. He hated himself because this was the kind of thing that, in the past, would have entertained him. Watching his company grow and making millions upon millions had always been enough to keep his mind occupied.But now that his wife was upset with him., he no longer found himself entertained by watching his company grow or looking at the figures

Chapter: Chapter one hundred and nineteen: Distrust“It’s you,” Bonnie said as he realized that the person who had attacked him was none other than Adrian.Looking into Adrian’s eyes, Bonnie could see nothing but hatred. He tried to get up, but he immediately felt a sharp pain in his side and winced.“I don’t know who you think you are or what you are doing, but I’ll warn you only this one time, and that is to leave my wife. I will not repeat myself again,” Adrian warned.Adrian expected Bonnie to back down, but to his surprise, Bonnie began laughing hysterically.“Your wife? Oh, please... we both know that woman is not happy with you. I see how you treat her badly, like she is nothing more than your accessory,” Bonnie fired back.For a moment, Adrian knew that Bonnie was right.As much as Adrian loved Evelina, he knew that he needed to be honest with himself, and that was to realize that he was not treating Evelina with the respect she de

Chapter: Chapter one hundred and eighteen: Hooded manCafé OléEvelina had stayed at the café later than all the other employees, and luckily for her, Bonnie had offered to stay behind with her. He had even been kind enough to help serve the other employees and customers with the various beverages and pastries because the café had been extremely busy.After winning the award, everyone had come to know about her café, and everyone wanted to be part of the entire hype. She was glad that she had extra hands to help her, and now that everyone was gone, it was just the two of them in the café, cleaning up and getting ready for tomorrow’s service.Once the two of them had cleaned the final table, they looked at one another as they rested their hands on their hips, smiling at each other.“I see we make a great team,” Bonnie pointed out.“I agree. We make a great team,” Evelina said.She was tired, very tired, and sh

Chapter: Chapter one hundred and seventeen: Private partyEvelina and Adrian’s HomeLuckily for them, the night had gone a little better after Evelina’s jab at Adrian. Many people congratulated her, and Adrian stood beside her as a couple, fooling even some of the best paparazzi journalists. But as soon as they arrived home, everything had gone cold between the two of them once again. There they were, treating each other like strangers rather than a married couple.Adrian watched as his wife removed her shoes and began walking up the steps, leaving him behind. Once she was halfway up the steps, Adrian coughed, and she stopped with her back still facing him.He looked at Evelina and let out a loud sigh. It was obvious that the two of them were about to have a conversation that neither of them wanted to have, but it was much needed if they were going to save the illusions they had about their marriage.“Evelina, I am actually very proud of you for winning the award. You certainly deserve it,” Adrian finally said.After a few seconds, there was

Chapter: CHAPTER 81: NEARING DAYOne day later“I should have known that sooner or later you would betray me” Rhea told Avena, who stood in the center of her living room. For months Avena had refused to let Rhea in on the big secret and if it were not for Ricardo telling her the secret, she would never have known anything.The more she spoke, it felt as though nothing she said had gotten through to Avena who had her hands crossed over her chest and was smiling. An action which only infuriated Rhea more. Looking at Avena, Rhea felt as though she wanted to strangle Avena. After all, Rhea had lost her one chance of having Leonardo to herself. She had thought that by working with Avena, she would get Leonardo but only for her to lose him in the end of it all.“Rhea why are you so upset? I thought you said that you wanted to break up Leonardo and Aurora’s marriage? They are over now, so why are you upset?”“Because I wanted Leonardo t

Chapter: CHAPTER 80: LOCKET“How did this happen? How was there a switch between the woman I was supposed to marry and the woman that I married to now?

Everyone who sat in the room looked uncomfortable, until one brave soul stood up and it was AvenaIt was the first time that Leonardo had seen her since he had left the altar and now as he looked at her, Leonardo noticed that she was quite a pretty young woman but nothing like his wife. Both women were beautiful with dark-ski but Avena’s beauty was still no match to that of his wife.Avena looked frail and scared of him, looking down at her feet and playing with her hands rather than looking up at him, until she finally looked at him with tears welled in her eyes.“Hello my name is Avena, I know that you do not know me quite well and that was mainly because Avena took my place the altar.

What do they call it? I forgot the words, oh I think it's called ‘Wolf in sheep's clothing” Ricardo ridiculed Signora Meta whom was not fazed by Ricardo’s words.“When you think about it, it is actually you who is a wolf in sheep's clothing. I mean you have proven yourself to be an impressive liar” She reminded him.“When have I ever lied about who I was?”“Well, you are you walking around pretending to be Leonardo's friend but actually wanting to take his wife from him, Is that not what you would consider a wolf in sheep's clothing?
