The billionaire fake fiancée
Bella Jordan is a young woman living two very different lives. By day, she is a hardworking secretary at Holders Construction Company (HCC), working under its powerful billionaire CEO, Eric Holders. By night, she hides a dangerous secret, doing whatever it takes to pay off a debt that threatens to destroy her life.
Eric Holders is wealthy, ambitious, and ruthless when it comes to business. He has everything money can buy except the one thing he needs to secure his biggest business deal: a fiancée.
When a major investor makes it clear that Eric must attend an important private dinner with his future wife, Eric finds himself in a desperate situation. With time running out, he turns to the last person he expects to make such a request—his secretary, Bella.
Desperate for money and with her own troubles closing in, Bella agrees to become his fake fiancée for one weekend. The arrangement seems simple: pretend to be in love, impress his family, secure the deal, and walk away.
But pretending becomes complicated when unexpected attraction begins to blur the boundaries between them. Eric's former lover, Vanessa, is determined to reclaim her place in his life, while Michael Farmer, Eric's famous best friend, develops feelings for Bella.
As jealousy, betrayal, blackmail, and buried secrets threaten to expose the truth, Bella and Eric must confront the consequences of their arrangement.
What began as a business deal may become the greatest risk of their lives. But can a relationship built on lies survive when real feelings enter the picture?

Chapter: Price of her secretCHAPTER 7“Who is he?”Bella stared at the photograph on Eric’s phone.She recognised the man standing beside her immediately.Her stomach twisted.“Nobody.”Eric’s eyes narrowed.“That’s not what I asked.”“He’s just someone I used to know.”“Someone who knows where you live?”Bella said nothing.Eric placed the phone on the kitchen counter.“Daniel is on his way. You’re going to tell him everything you know.”Her head snapped up.“Daniel?”“He’s handling the investigation.”“No. I don’t want anyone investigating me.”“That’s no longer your decision.”Bella’s expression hardened.“You don’t get to decide everything for me just because you’re rich.”Eric stepped closer.“And you don’t get to bring dangerous people into my house without explaining why.”“I’m not bringing anyone here!”“Then explain the photograph.”Bella opened her mouth, but no words came out.She couldn’t tell him.Not yet.Twenty minutes later, Daniel entered the study with a laptop.Eric stood behind his desk.“Wha

Chapter: Thunder stormCHAPTER 6“Give me your phone, Bella.”Eric’s voice was cold.Bella held the device tightly against her chest.“It’s nothing.”“Then you shouldn’t have a problem showing me.”She looked out of the car window.“Please, Eric. Just leave it alone.”He stared at her for a moment before turning towards the driver.“Take us home.”The rest of the journey passed in silence.When they arrived at the mansion, Bella hurried towards the entrance, but Eric caught her wrist.“Not so fast.”She turned.“What?”“You’re going to tell me who sent that message.”“I don’t know.”“Don’t lie to me.”Bella pulled her hand free.“You don’t own me, Eric. Just because I’m pretending to be your fiancée doesn’t mean you can control every part of my life.”His jaw tightened.“Someone is threatening you, and you expect me to ignore it?”“I expect you to remember that this arrangement is supposed to be temporary.”“That doesn’t answer my question.”“Then perhaps you should stop asking.”She walked past him and hea

Chapter: Mr. LorenzoCHAPTER 5“You’re holding my hand too tightly.”Bella whispered the words without moving her lips.Eric glanced down at their joined hands.“Then stop looking like you’re attending your own funeral.”Bella forced a smile.“I’m about to meet one of the richest men in the country while pretending to be engaged to a man who barely tolerates me. What expression would you recommend?”“One that doesn’t make me regret bringing you.”She wanted to step on his foot.Instead, she smiled sweetly.“Of course, darling.”Eric’s eyes narrowed.“Don’t overdo it.”Before Bella could answer, Michael appeared beside them, adjusting his expensive wristwatch.“Are we ready?”Eric’s expression immediately changed.“What are you doing here?”Michael looked offended.“Good evening to you too.”“I didn’t invite you.”“And yet, here I am.”Bella tried not to laugh.Michael had insisted on joining them after learning that Mr. Lorenzo would be hosting a private dinner at his residence. According to him, he had b

Chapter: The stranger she knowsCHAPTER 4Bella was halfway down the staircase when laughter drifted from the living room.She paused.A man’s voice followed, deep and cheerful.“Eric, you can’t keep hiding in this house forever. People are beginning to think you’ve become a machine.”“I have work to do, Michael.”“Of course you do. You always have work to do.”Bella smiled faintly.At least someone could make Eric sound human.She continued downstairs, adjusting the sleeves of her cream blouse. Grace had insisted she join them for breakfast, even though Bella would have preferred to stay in her room.When she entered the living room, Eric was sitting on the sofa with a tablet in his hand. Beside him sat a man wearing dark jeans, a white shirt, and sunglasses pushed into his hair.The stranger turned.His eyes widened.“Bella?”Bella stopped.For a moment, she simply stared at him.Then recognition spread across her face.“Michael?”The man jumped to his feet, his smile growing wider.“I knew it! What are you doing

Chapter: Our arrangementCHAPTER 3“Mother, she’s staying in the guest room.”Eric’s voice was firm.Grace looked at him, unimpressed. “And why would my future daughter-in-law sleep in the guest room?”“Because we haven’t been married.”“You’re engaged, Eric. There’s nothing wrong with sharing a room.”Bella stood between them, wishing the floor would open up.“Actually, Mrs. Holdings, I’m perfectly comfortable with the guest room.”Grace turned towards her.“Please, call me Grace, darling. And don’t worry. I’ll make sure you’re comfortable.”Eric rubbed his forehead.“Mother, please don’t make this difficult.”Grace smiled. “I’m not the one making things difficult. You’re the one who finally brings a woman home, and now you’re behaving like strangers.”Bella lowered her eyes to hide her smile.Eric noticed.“Something funny, Miss Jordan?”Her smile disappeared.“No, Eric.”Grace laughed. “At least she knows how to handle you.”Eric gave his mother a warning look before turning towards Bella.“Come downstairs

Chapter: His mansionCHAPTER 2Bella stared at her phone.Fifty thousand dollars has been transferred to her account.For the first time in weeks, she could breathe.The money wouldn’t clear her debt, but it would buy her some time.Her phone rang.The same unknown number.“Have you got the money?” a man demanded.“Yes. I have fifty thousand”“That’s not what you owe.”“I know. I’m working on getting the rest.”“You have until Friday, Bella. Don’t make us come looking for you.”The call ended.Bella slipped her phone into her handbag.Three days. She had three days to find the remaining money.At least Eric’s ridiculous arrangement had given her a chance.“Miss Jordan!”She looked up to find Rachel standing beside her desk.“Mr. Holdings wants to see you.”Bella sighed. “Again?”Rachel laughed. “Whatever you did, good luck.”Eric was reviewing some documents when Bella entered his office.“You called for me, sir?”“Sit.”She obeyed.He pushed a black folder towards her.“Your agreement.
