CONTRACT MARRIAGE TO MY BILLIONAIRE BESTFRIEND SECURITY
"Absolutely not."Sophia had said the same two words four times in the last ten minutes, and Liam had ignored her every single time."You're getting a security detail," he said again, sliding a folder across the kitchen counter with the same finality he probably used on billion-dollar acquisitions. "Two men, rotating shifts, starting this morning. Reyes and Cole. They've worked personal security for the family before.""I'm not a hostage.""Someone stood inside our home and photographed you sleeping." His voice stayed level, but his hands, braced flat against the counter, weren't. "This isn't a negotiation.""I don't want to be treated like something fragile that needs constant guarding." Sophia pushed the folder back toward him, harder than necessary, papers sliding half off the edge of the counter. "I want to know who did this. I want an actual answer, not a bodyguard standing outside my office door pretending to read a newspaper.""You can want both things at once.""I want you to
CONTRACT MARRIAGE TO MY BILLIONAIRE BESTFRIEND THE MARRIAGE IS A LIE
"Nothing," Liam said again, and this time he actually crossed the room to prove it, reaching for her hand like physical distance was the problem rather than the six-word answer he refused to expand on. "Ethan sends cryptic messages when he's stressed about the company. It doesn't mean anything.""It means something to you. I watched your face.""Sophia, I need you to trust me on this one.""You're asking me to trust a man who won't tell me the truth." She pulled her hand back, more hurt than angry, though the two had started blurring together somewhere around midnight. "That's not how trust works."He didn't have an answer for that or chose not to give her one, and the silence that followed carried them both to bed on opposite sides of the pillow wall; neither of them had bothered rebuilding since the wedding night.By the time their flight landed in New York the following afternoon, the story had already broken.Sophia's phone lit up with forty-three notifications before the wheels f
CONTRACT MARRIAGE TO MY BILLIONAIRE BESTFRIEND THE HONEYMOON
The storm hit an hour before their flight home was scheduled to leave.Sophia stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the honeymoon villa, watching lightning fracture across water that had been postcard-blue that morning, and listened to Liam argue with the airfield on the phone behind her."Nothing's leaving until tomorrow at the earliest," he said, hanging up. "We're stuck here.""Stuck," Sophia repeated, "in a private villa on a private island, with a private chef and an infinity pool.""I'm aware of how it sounds."They had come here for the same reason they'd done everything for the last three weeks, to convince a watching world that a six-month contract was actually a marriage. Four days of curated photographs, a honeymoon narrative built specifically for the tabloids, and then home to separate lives dressed up as one. Sophia hadn't planned for the storm. She hadn't planned for the strange, suspended quiet of being trapped somewhere with nothing left to do but talk.The staff h
CONTRACT MARRIAGE TO MY BILLIONAIRE BESTFRIEND THE WEDDING
Sophia had imagined her wedding exactly once in her adult life, in the vague, embarrassed way most people did, and it had never once involved a courthouse anteroom with marble floors and a dress fitted for her by strangers eleven days ago.She stood behind the closed doors with her mother fussing over a loose pin in her hair, and her heart was doing something violent and unfamiliar beneath the borrowed pearls at her throat."You don't have to do this," her mother whispered, misreading the panic on her face entirely. "It's not too late to—""I want to," Sophia said, and was startled by how true it felt leaving her mouth.Three years of loving Liam Kingston in complete silence had trained her to expect exactly this feeling and nothing more, a permanent, private ache she carried everywhere and showed no one. She had prepared herself for a courthouse ceremony that would feel like theatre, a legal formality dressed up as romance for the sake of a will's cruel timeline. She had not prepared
CONTRACT MARRIAGE TO MY BILLIONAIRE BESTFRIEND SIX MONTHS
"You're not actually reading that for the legal language."Sophia looked up from the contract, caught. She was on page three for the fifth time, and Liam had clearly noticed. They sat across from each other at his kitchen counter, the document between them like a chessboard, neither of them wanting to move on first. Outside the window behind him, the city had already gone dark, the same skyline she'd looked at a hundred times from this exact apartment as a friend, now somehow different because in eighteen days her name would legally sit beside his on every document tied to it."I'm making sure I understand what I signed.""You understand it. You're stalling."He wasn't wrong, which annoyed her more than if he had been. Sophia closed the folder and pushed it toward the centre of the counter, out of reach, like it might bite her if she stared at it any longer."I think we should acknowledge," she said carefully, "that this is objectively insane.""Objectively." Something close to a smil
CONTRACT MARRIAGE TO MY BILLIONAIRE BESTFRIEND THE KISS
The kiss had gone on eleven seconds too long, and Sophia Bennett was the only person in the ballroom counting.Liam Kingston's hand had started at her jaw, steady and practised, exactly where marketing wanted it for the charity gala rehearsal. Somewhere around second four it had slid to the curve of her neck instead, and his fingers had curled there like he'd forgotten there was a call sheet at all, like he'd forgotten there was a camera crew testing angles twenty feet away.Sophia had kissed this man forty-three times in six years of friendship. Every single one lasted three seconds. Camera-ready. Rehearsed. The kind of kiss two best friends performed when the press needed a photo and Liam needed to look like a man who wasn't married to his company.This one didn't feel rehearsed.His mouth was patient at first. Then it wasn't. Sophia felt his control slip somewhere around second seven, felt it in the way his breath changed against her lips, in the way his other hand found her waist
