People call Natalie a gold digger. What they don't know is that marriage is simply her profession. Beautiful, intelligent, and fiercely independent, Natalie has built a secret career as a professional contract bride. Wealthy heirs, closeted billionaires, and influential men hire her to become their temporary wife so they can fulfill family conditions, secure their inheritance, or protect their identities. Once the contract ends, she walks away with a signed divorce, another successful job completed, and a heart she swore would never belong to anyone. After nine flawless contract marriages, Natalie accepts what should be her easiest—and final—assignment. She is hired to marry Luca Elios Hernaez, the ruthless billionaire CEO of Hernaez Holdings. There's just one problem. Luca isn't a stranger. He's the boy who grew up beside her, her childhood best friend, and the first person she ever loved in silence. Bound by his late grandfather's billion-dollar will, Luca has no choice but to marry if he wants to inherit the empire built for generations. To him, marriage is nothing more than another business deal. Love is a weakness he cannot afford. But living under the same roof with Natalie begins to crack the walls around his heart. The woman he thought he had forgotten is no longer the carefree red-haired girl from his childhood. She's now a mystery carrying countless secrets behind practiced smiles and divorce papers. She entered the marriage expecting another signature. He entered expecting another contract. Neither of them expected to fall in love. When the contract expires and the divorce papers are finally placed on the table, one question remains— Can a marriage that started as a business arrangement become the forever they never believed they deserved?

Natalie's POVBy the time we got home, the house smelled nothing like the meals we usually made on ordinary days, and I knew immediately that Luca had something to do with it. The dining table, which normally had mismatched plates and whatever food we could stretch between the five of us, was suddenly covered with neatly arranged dishes, warm bread in a woven basket, roasted chicken, creamy mashed potatoes, vegetables seasoned with herbs, a bowl of fresh salad, and a large pot of soup that sent steam curling toward the ceiling. There were even little desserts arranged on a porcelain tray that I was almost certain had never belonged to us. I stood at the entrance of the dining room with my purse still hanging from my shoulder, staring at everything while Migo practically dropped himself into his chair."Okay, I officially forgive Luca for being rich," Migo declared, pulling a plate toward himself as he stared at the food.I turned toward him with a disbelieving look. "You were mad at h

Natalie's POVOne week later, Olie finally walked out of the hospital with Mama holding one of her hands and me carrying the small bag of medicines the nurse had instructed us to keep within reach, and even though she still moved carefully because of her injuries, seeing her outside those hospital walls felt like something I had once prayed for and never thought I'd actually witness.As expected, every bill had already been settled, every surgical expense, medication, room charge, and follow-up arrangement paid in full by Luca, and when I asked the billing department how much remained, the woman behind the desk simply smiled and told me, "Mr. Hernaez took care of everything, Miss De Dios," as if paying an enormous hospital bill for someone else's family were the most ordinary thing in the world. I stood there staring at the receipt in my hands, feeling gratitude, guilt, and something far more complicated twisting together inside my chest because Luca had never once stood over me deman

NatalieI had stopped counting the number of times I whispered Olie's name.Every time the monitor changed its rhythm, my eyes immediately flew toward the screen. Every time a nurse entered the room, I sat straighter in my chair, afraid that the next words I heard would change everything again. I had spent what felt like an eternity sitting beside her bed, holding her small hand between both of mine, refusing to let go even when my fingers had gone numb."Come on, Olie," I whispered, gently rubbing the back of her hand with my thumb. "Didi's here."The room was quiet except for the steady beeping of the monitors. I leaned closer, resting my forehead against the edge of her mattress. "You promised me we'd go home together."My voice trembled. "You still owe Migo fifty dollars, remember?"And sitll nothing.I swallowed hard and forced a smile even though she couldn't see it. "And you still have that Disneyland trip to collect." I laughed softly at my own words, but the sound broke halfwa

LUCA"Miss De Dios is asking for you."Sebastian's words followed me all the way back to the car.I stood beside the precinct entrance with my phone pressed against my ear, staring at the traffic moving across the street. For a man who had faced hostile takeovers, courtroom battles, and boardrooms filled with people waiting for me to fail, I had never understood why one sentence from Natalie could make my heart beat faster."Where is she?" I asked, opening the rear door of the Rolls-Royce."She's in the PICU with Olivia," Sebastian answered. "She asked the nurse if they could reach you, and the nurse contacted me."I slid into the back seat and leaned against the leather."How long ago?""About ten minutes.""Drive."The moment Sebastian ended the call, the car pulled away from the curb. I loosened my tie and glanced at the time on my phone. I had been gone longer than I intended, and suddenly every minute felt like an inconvenience.I should have stayed.I knew that.But Mackenzie ha
