Love after Marriage
Celine Bennett has thirty days to save her late father’s company from bankruptcy, but every investor and bank turns her away. With the company she inherited on the verge of liquidation, she has nowhere left to turn except Nathan Cross, the ruthless billionaire CEO who now controls her father’s debt. Celine storms into Nathan’s office determined to confront the man she believes is destroying her family’s legacy. Instead, Nathan makes her an offer she never expected. “Marry me for one year, and I will save your father’s company.” Celine refuses, determined to prove she can survive without him. But thirty days later, with every other option gone, she returns to Nathan and agrees to his terms. Their marriage is supposed to be nothing more than a contract. No love. No expectations. No interference in each other’s lives. But living under the same roof changes everything. Nathan never expected to become jealous when another man gets too close to his wife. Celine never expected the cold billionaire she married for convenience to become the man she cannot imagine losing. And when their one-year contract begins to expire, they must face the one rule neither of them was supposed to break: They must never fall in love.

The Billionaire's Wife For One Year Chapter 24: The Man Beside Her
Celine’s POVI spent most of the following morning thinking about Nathan's answer in the car the previous evening, even though I had tried several times to convince myself that there was nothing unusual about what he had said. A husband wanting his wife beside him at a company reception was hardly remarkable, especially when their marriage was public and their professional circles often overlapped. What made his answer difficult to dismiss was the fact that he had not blamed the invitation, the expectations of his company, or the terms of our arrangement when I asked him why he wanted me there. He had simply told me that he wanted to spend the evening with me, and I could not stop wondering whether I had begun wanting the same thing long before I was willing to admit it.At Bennett Industries, I tried to concentrate on the revised proposal from Carter Holdings, which had arrived early that morning with only a few outstanding points requiring my attention. Daniel had made the investmen

Nathan’s POVI woke earlier than usual the following morning, partly because the light coming through the living room curtains had begun to brighten the room and partly because my back was beginning to protest against the sofa. Celine was still asleep beside me, her head resting against the cushion and the blanket I had placed over her shoulders sometime during the night. I remembered intending to return to my bedroom after making sure she was comfortable, but our conversation had continued until she fell asleep, and I had eventually settled back with the book I had been reading. Somewhere along the way, I had stopped thinking about going upstairs.When Celine finally stirred, she opened her eyes slowly before turning towards me with an expression of mild surprise."Good morning," I greeted her, keeping my voice low.She glanced at the blanket covering her before looking at me again. "You stayed here all night, Nathan?""I didn't want to wake you when you had finally fallen asleep," I

CelineBy the time I returned home that evening, I had read through the revised Carter Holdings proposal so many times that the figures had begun to blur together. Daniel's team had made the adjustments we requested, and the investment was now close to being finalized, but one important decision remained unresolved. The restructuring plan required Bennett Industries to close the division my father had established during the early years of the company, and although I understood why the decision made financial sense, accepting it felt like admitting that I could not preserve everything he had built.I placed my handbag on the living room table and loosened my jacket, hoping that a few minutes of quiet would help me organize my thoughts. Nathan was in his study, judging by the light beneath the door, and I considered going upstairs without disturbing him. However, when I passed the study a few minutes later, he opened the door and looked at me with the kind of attention that made it diff

NathanThe following morning, I found myself thinking about the piano room before I had even finished getting dressed. I could still remember the way Celine had looked at me while I played, not with the curiosity people usually showed when they discovered something unexpected about me, but with the quiet attention of someone who genuinely wanted to understand the person behind everything she already knew. I had spent years keeping that part of myself private, yet I had opened the door for her without questioning why I was doing it until much later.I reminded myself that there was nothing unusual about what had happened because Celine was my wife and she had asked about the person I had been before becoming CEO of Cross Enterprises. Showing her the music room had been a reasonable response to her questions, and allowing her to hear me play had not meant anything beyond that. The explanation was simple enough, although I found myself returning to it more often than seemed necessary.Wh
