A Marriage Deal With Billionaire Stone Novels & Stories

And he had taken it, spent it, erased it like it meant nothing. "The lawyer's appointment on Monday is cancelled," he continued. "I took care of it this afternoon." This afternoon. While I was serving champagne at Cassie's party, he was destroying my escape route. "However," he said, pulling a folder from his desk drawer, "if you agree to this marriage, I'll give you something better than that trust fund. I'll give you three million dollars." The number hung in the air between us.

“And you have no interest in my money. Those qualities make you the perfect candidate for the deal.” I bit my lip unconsciously, eyes wide open with confusion. “I don’t even know you. I’ve only met you once. How can I trust you or this offer?” “No, Trust doesn’t come into it,” Xavier said bluntly. “Just a signature. You marry me for the agreed time, you get the money, and you walk away.” I stared out the window at the bustling New York street. People hurried past, laughing, struggling, living. My own life had been a relentless uphill battle for years, but this sudden offer threatened to change everything.

“You can't force me to do this, Dad.” He finally turned his head to look at me, his eyes dark with a heavy, inescapable weight. “You promised me to do anything I ask of you in the future, Nadia. I am only asking you to give Mr. Stone a chance.” He reached out, his hand hovering over mine without touching it. “He is lonely, and he really needs a new wife. This arrangement will be more favorable to you than being his son’s wife.” I opened the car door and stepped out onto the gravel driveway, my legs shaking as I walked up the grand stone steps. Inside, the massive foyer felt colder than the night air. Leonardo Stone sat in a leather armchair by a roaring fireplace, looking every bit the billi

"I will do that, not too much worry!" "You said to make a deal, right." Irene stopped by a park bench and sat there to see some dry leaves falling to the ground as Edric sat in the same place as her. "I'll marry you." "Good news!" "Then my only wish is to see Cayden." "How stupid!" "I realized that I love him this much." "You talk to your future husband? How dare you!" "We will separate anyway, so why may I not love the man I desire with." Irene started to turn to Edric while Edric's eyes turned red.

Catherine Stone's life takes an unexpected turn when Dario Simpson, the son of a famous billionaire, is involved in a life-altering accident that leaves him in a state of vigil paralysis. The only way to bring him out of it is for Catherine to agree to Mr. Devon's proposal to pretend to be Dario's fiancée. Desperate for money, Catherine agrees to the deal, believing that all she has to do is act. However, as she begins her charade, she finds herself unexpectedly falling in love with the opulent surroundings of the billionaire's mansion and the lavish lifestyle that comes with it.

I don’t know if it is the wind, the sea, or the way everything shimmered in this hour, but for one perfect second, everything stilled. Just Devon and me, our people standing around us like a circle of stars, and this moment- honest and forever. Wanda catches my eye and wink. I almost laugh. Even in a wedding dress, standing on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean, marrying the cold billionaire who once terrified me, I’ve never felt more like me. The music changes to a slow song, ‘Perfect’ by Ed Sheeran. The guests start dancing to the song, Devon and I step onto the dance floor, swaying along the music.

The second I was alone again, my shoulders sagged. I stared down at my phone. Still nothing. I hated that this was what our marriage had become. Me standing around waiting for scraps of attention from my own husband like some pathetic lovesick teenager. The worst part was that Ethan hadn’t always been like this. Sometimes I thought that was why it hurt so much. Because I remembered him before. Before Stone Global consumed every second of his life, and his smiles became rare. There was a time Ethan used to look at me like I was the best thing that had ever happened to him.

But then, her professionalism returns. “I’m afraid you’re mistaken,” she says, her tone softening with a hint of pity. “Mr. Stone is engaged to someone else. He’s getting married soon.” The words hit me like a punch to the gut. I blink, my mind struggling to catch up with what I just heard. “What? What do you mean, engaged?” She speaks with a cold formality, as if repeating something she’s said many times before. “Callum Winter Stone is engaged to Miss Emelia Rhodes, the daughter of the Billionaire CEO, David Rhodes. They’re getting married soon.”

She is the chief bridesmaids. “Everything is so beautiful…” she whispered. One of the bridesmaids smiled. “Mr. Damian spared no expense.” The second added, “Honestly, ma’am, when they told us this was a wedding, I expected something simple. But this? This is billionaire behavior.” Scarlett smiled faintly and lowered her eyes. “If only…” she murmured softly. The sound of knocks on the tinted window interrupted her thoughts. As all three women turned. They immediately rolled down the window to see who it was.

This feels surreal. “You're stunning,” Thalia, my cousin and my best friend, gushes once I'm all set. I wish I could give them a real smile, but this all feels wrong. Marriage shouldn't be like this, but I also can't let go of this opportunity. Just a year, Linnea. Just a year. “Thank you.” I give her the best fake smile I can ever form. “Linnea, I want to give you something,” Mum says, making me look at her. No, I don't want anything about this day to feel special. This day isn't special, and they need to understand that. This isn't a real wedding. It's a show.
