Contract Marriage

Camilla Hart’s life is small but warm, filled with early mornings with her best friend Anya and caring for her sick aunt Roseline. An encounter with an arrogant stranger that she spilled coffee, will change everything. That same stranger, Adrian Harrington, a billionaire CEO, shows up at her big presentation. Impressed, he offers her a job as his personal assistant. Camilla is thrown into a world of glass walls, power games, and sharp eyes that never stop watching. Her desk sits just a glass wall away from Adrian Harrington’s — the arrogant billionaire she can’t escape from him. Everything changed when Adrian puts a contract in front of her: one year as his wife. No intimacy, no questions, no strings. In return, her aunt’s surgery will be paid for, and 20 million dollars . Cornered, Camilla signs. A dinner party with Adrian’s powerful family push her to her limits.Eleanor, Adrian's grandmother looks down on her because of her background, his father shows kindness, and just when she starts finding her place, Adrian’s childhood sweetheart, Celine, comes back to claim him. Jealousy simmers, sparks ignite, and the “rules” of their marriage start to break. Between late-night arguments, almost-kisses, and truths they’re too afraid to say , something real grows. But just as Camilla begins to trust what’s happening between them, her world is rocked: her long-lost father returns, wealthy and powerful, carrying secrets that turn her life upside down. When the contract ends, Camilla walks away, determined to stand on her own. But Adrian won’t let her go. In front of both families, at an engagement party no one saw coming, he makes his choice clear: what started as a deal on paper has become the only promise that matters.

Chapter 1 – Coffee and Arrogance

"Ms. Michaels, you are pregnant."

When Jean Michaels heard what the doctor said, she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. Her hands trembled as they held the medical report.

"Can you check again, please?" she asked in a low voice.

The doctor looked at her with an awkward smile. "If you don't trust me, Ms. Michaels, you can get a second opinion from a bigger hospital."

Jean paled when she heard that. "No, it's fine," she said.

She stood up and threw the report into the trash can. Then, she left without a second glance.

…

Back at Oakside Villa, Jean was greeted by a cold gaze as soon as she entered the living room.

Tyler Larson, who was preparing to leave, stared at her. "Where did you go?" he asked. His gaze unsettled Jean.

Jean took a deep breath. She looked up and met his eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Tyler, let's get divorced."

As soon as she said that, everything fell silent, but it was soon broken by Tyler's laugh. "Are you still having a fever? What nonsense is this?"

As he spoke, he touched her forehead to check her temperature. He was convinced that she was still delirious from her fever.

Jean felt annoyed by his sudden show of affection. She pushed his hand away and looked at him seriously. "I've already drafted the paperwork. Please sign it after you read through it."

She had printed the divorce agreement earlier. She trembled as she handed it to him.

Tyler took the divorce agreement. His smile slowly disappeared as he read through the document. Then, he crumpled it up.

"You won't be able to bear the consequence of divorcing me. Have you thought this through?" He stared at her intently.

Jean nodded firmly and held his gaze. "Yes, I have." Afraid he wouldn't believe her, she added, "I have thought it through."

She didn't look like she was being contrary just for the sake of it.

Tyler's expression turned cold. "You're not the only one who needs to think about things," he said coldly, throwing the crumpled paper at Jean as he strode past her. "You can wait until I've thought it through."

Jean grabbed Tyler's arm when she saw he was about to leave.

She said hurriedly, "I know you don't love me, Tyler. I also know you brought another woman home from abroad, and she's now at Bailey Hospital. Our marriage isn't working. Just let me go. You'll be happier too. Isn't it better that way?"

She looked at Tyler earnestly, trying to convince the stubborn man to consider divorce. Her nervousness caused her palm to become sweaty.

Tyler looked down at her. They had a considerable height difference. He narrowed his eyes. "What else do you know?"

Jean paused. She rarely paid attention to Tyler's personal affairs. She only knew about it because she had overheard his conversation with the butler when she walked past his study.

Tyler continued to stare at her coldly. "Since you don't know anything else, let me tell you. Her return is exactly why I won't divorce you."

Jean was taken aback. Almost instinctively, she asked, "Why?"

Chapter 1 – Coffee and Arrogance
Seattle was not kind that morning. The rain fell hard, soaking Camilla Hart’s coat no matter how tightly she wrapped it around herself. Her boots make a splash through the wet floors of the street, as she hurries down the crowded street. Clutching her bag to her chest as if it held her entire future. Which it did.Her hair was damp and her blouse wet from the rain, and her eyes swollen from lack of sleep. She had stayed up all night going through her presentation again and again. Business management strategies. The words felt heavy but important. This presentation could open the door to a company she had only dreamed of working for. Her chance at a career. Her chance at money. Her chance to finally take care of her sick aunt.Aunt Roseline. The thought of her aunt worried her so much. Roseline had raised her, took care of her, given up her own dreams for her. And now she was very sick. Hospital bills weighed on Camilla’s shoulders. She saved and saved, but it was never enough.

Chapter 2 – The Stranger in the Suit
Camilla’s heart drummed as she hurries through the lobby of the tall Harrington Global building. There were glass doors everywhere, the marble floors shone like water, and her shoe echoed in her ears and her legs were shaky.She was holding her laptop bag tightly, trying to catch her breathe and calm her nerves. This was her moment. Weeks of preparation, nights of no sleep, all for this. If she impressed the board today, her life could change. If she failed… she didn’t even want to think about it. This is the only way to gather more money for Aunt Roseline's surgery bill.The receptionist looked at Camilla with a professional smile. “Miss Hart?”“Yes,” Camilla answered, her voice small and shaky .“Conference room on the twenty-first floor. The executives are waiting.”Her palms went sweaty. Waiting Executives?. Big men and women in suits who could decide her fate with a nod or a shake of the head.Camilla tries to calm her nerves as she walked towards the elevator, “You’ve got thi

Chapter 3 – The Offer
Everyone was leaving the conference, Papers shuffled, polite laughter echoed. Camilla gathered her notes, trying to calm her shaky hands. Her presentation was over. Somehow, she got through it.She glanced at Adrian Harrington, he was composed as ever, his dark suit sharp against the polished wood. His eyes, though, were not on his laptop or the departing managers. They were on her, through out the presentation.That look made her heart skip.“Miss Hart,” Adrian’s deep voice cut through the air, smooth yet commanding. “Stay behind,I want to discuss with you.”Her pen nearly slipped from her hand. She looked up, startled.“Yes, sir?”The last two board men exchanged curious glances, but didn't say anything. They all left, until it was just the two of them in the big room. The door was closed, and there was silence.Camilla holds her file tightly to her chest. “If it’s about the slides, I can...”“It’s not about that” Adrian interrupted, sits in his chair. His gaze pinned on her. “Sit.

Chapter 4 – The News
The bus ride home felt longer. Camilla sat by the window, holding her laptop bag against her chest like it was the only thing keeping her together. Her reflection in the glass looked pale, her eyes too wide, as if even she couldn’t believe the words she had spoken an hour ago.“I will do it.”Her own voice kept repeating in her head. What had she done?By the time the bus screeched to her stop, the sky was painted orange, fading to grey. Seattle’s evening was breezy as she hurried down the familiar street to her home. The apartment building was old, but it was home. She climbed the stairs two at a time, her heartbeat uneven, not from the climb, but from the weight of the secret in her chest.As she pushed the door open.“Camilla!”Anya’s voice came from the kitchen. She appeared with a wooden spoon in hand, her hair tied in a bun, flour on her left cheek. “Finally. I was about to send a search party.”Camilla forced a small smile. “I had a busy day.”“Busy day? That’s what you call i

Chapter 5 – The Contract
Morning light spilled through the small kitchen window. The smell of toasted bread and scrambled eggs filled the air. Camilla slipped her shoes on, her nerves making her fumble with the strap.“Sit down, you’ll make yourself dizzy.”She looked up. Anya Wells stood by the counter, her dark hair tied messily in a bun, flipping eggs in a pan.“I’m fine,” Camilla lied, forcing a small smile.“You’re shaking,” Anya said, her eyes narrowing as she carried a plate to the table. “Big day, huh?”Camilla sat, brushing invisible crumbs off her skirt. “Yeah. My first real day.”Anya plopped the plate in front of her and then pulled a small lunchbox from the counter. “Made this for you. Sandwiches, apple slices, and those cookies you like.” She pushed it into Camilla’s bag before Camilla could argue. “Don’t skip lunch because you’re nervous.”Camilla’s chest softened. “You didn’t have to …”“I wanted to.” Anya smiled. “I’m proud of you.”Before Camilla could reply, a cough sounded from the hallway

Chapter 6 – The Breaking Point
Camilla didn’t sleep.She laid on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Adrian’s voice replayed in her mind, continuously.$20 million dollars. And your aunt’s hospital bills, paid in full.Her stomach twisted. She wanted to hate him. She wanted to laugh at his arrogance. But every time Roseline’s face popped in her memory, her anger reduced.Early that morning, she dragged herself out of bed. Anya was already in the kitchen, sipping coffee, her hair messy.“You look like death,” Anya said gently.“I couldn't get any sleep,last night.” Camilla sat on a chair.Anya slid a mug toward her. “Work stress?”Camilla hesitated. She couldn’t say it. She couldn’t even imagine explaining to Anya that her new boss had offered marriage like it was a job promotion.“Something like that,” she whispered.Before Anya could talk again, Roseline entered into the kitchen, her shawl wrapped tight. She smiled faintly, but Camilla noticed the way her hands trembled as she reached for the kettle.“Morning, my dar

Chapter 7– The deal
Camilla’s feet carried her down the hall like she was half asleep. Her chest was tight, and every step hurt her, like walking barefoot on glass. She had run from his office minutes ago, swearing she would never give him the answer he wanted.But the hospital smell still clung to her. Roseline’s weak smile was burned into her mind. The doctor’s words chased her like ghosts. Without treatment, her chances aren’t good.She reached the elevator and pressed the button, the soft light blinking back at her. When the silver doors slid open, she caught her reflection: wet hair clinging to her cheeks, eyes red and swollen. She looked like a woman already defeated.Her hand hovered at the threshold. She could leave. Go home. Pretend she never heard Adrian’s offer. Pretend she hadn’t seen the hospital bills stacked like an avalanche waiting to fall.But then Roseline’s voice came back, faint and fragile: Don’t worry yourself out because of me.Her throat burned. She pressed her palm against the c

Chapter 8- The negotiation
Camilla’s hand hanged above the contract. The pen felt heavy like iron pressing into her skin. Her breath came short. and her tears blurred the words on the page. She could hear Adrian’s voice echoing in her head "You are mine for a year".Her chest squeezed tight. She couldn’t do it. Not like this.Slowly, she set the pen down.Adrian’s eyes moved to her hand, then back to her face. His brows lowered slightly. “What are you doing?”“I can’t sign it,” she whispered.His jaw tightened. “We had an agreement.”“I know,” she said quickly, clutching her trembling hands in her lap. “And I will sign. But not like this. Not without...” She swallowed hard. “not without some conditions of my own.”For the first time, there was silence between them. Adrian’s expression was unreadable, but there was tension in his shoulders. He moved slowly, stepping around the desk, his polished shoes clicking softly on the floor until he stopped just in front of her chair.“Conditions?” His tone was flat, almos

Chapter 9 – The Paper That Changed Everything
After what seems like a long night.That morning Camilla stood under the shower, letting the warm water run over her face until her skin turned pink. She hadn’t slept more than two hours, but she didn’t care. Today was happening whether she was ready or not. She pressed her forehead against the tile, whispering to herself.It’s only a year. One year. Aunt Roseline needs me to do this.Her chest hurt as she stepped out and wrapped herself in a towel.She didn’t have much to choose from. But she pulled on a cream dress she had bought two years ago, back when she thought her first marriage would be full of flowers and laughter and music. At least it was her first marriage, she told herself it wouldn’t hurt to dress up a little for herself. Not for Adrian. Never for him.She brushed her hair, tied it into a low bun, and put on the light necklace Zoe had once given her for her birthday. That was it. Simple. Quiet.When she came out of her room, the smell of onions and pepper hit her nose.

Chapter Ten – The Shower
The silence after Adrian left the room was heavy. Camilla sat on the edge of the wide bed, her fingers gripping the bedsheet as if she might fall if she let go. She tried to steady her breathing.The sharpness in his voice. The way his jaw had clenched. The quiet fury that followed. He had barely looked at her before walking out, leaving her stranded with her thoughts. She felt out of place in this room, in this house, in his world. The bed was too soft, the curtains too tall, the ceiling too far above her head. She didn’t belong here. And yet, here she was. Her eyes shifted to the bathroom door. She had been holding off, nervous even about using something as simple as the shower. But the weight of the day stayed on her skin like dust. The hospital smell wouldn’t leave her, no matter how many times she rubbed her arms. Slowly, she stood and walked toward the bathroom. The lights flicked on automatically when she stepped inside, and for a moment she just stared. The bathroom was sp
