His contract, my chains

Alina Rivera's world comes crashing down when her father suffers a stroke and falls into a coma, leaving her to save the family company from the brink of collapse. With clients walking away, investors losing confidence, and the board questioning her ability to lead, desperation pushes her toward an offer she never imagined accepting. Marry Damien Black. The ruthless billionaire CEO promises to rescue Rivera Enterprise, but only if Alina agrees to become his wife for twelve months. With no other choice, she signs the contract. What Alina doesn't know is that Damien has spent years waiting for this opportunity. Haunted by a painful childhood and driven by a grudge he inherited from his father, he believes the Riveras destroyed his family. Marrying Alina isn't an act of kindness. It's the first step in a carefully planned revenge. But living under the same roof changes everything. As walls begin to crumble and unexpected feelings emerge, Damien finds himself torn between the vengeance he's carried for years and the woman he never intended to love. When long-buried secrets come to light, Alina discovers the truth behind their marriage and the devastating reason Damien chose her. Betrayed and heartbroken, she walks away. Now Damien must decide whether he's willing to lose the only person who ever made him believe in something more than revenge. In a story of love, betrayal, forgiveness, and second chances, two broken hearts must confront the past before they can have a future.
