my fiancee" he came to me. He said it was just business. He offered me ten million dollars, Jamie. Ten million for my life.” Her voice cracked on the last word. Jamie stared at her, heartbroken. “Jas, that’s—God, that’s awful. You can’t just—” “I already signed the contract,” Jasmine said softly. “The wedding’s in a week.” Jamie’s mouth opened, but no words came. She just hugged Jasmine tighter. “Why didn’t you tell me? I would’ve been there.” “I didn’t want you to see me like this,” Jasmine whispered. “I didn’t want to be a burden.”

He took a slow sip of his whiskey, his eyes holding mine over the rim of the glass. “You play your part for one year. You save your brother. I secure my future. A clean, mutually beneficial exchange.” My hands were shaking uncontrollably now, not just from the shock, but from the horrifying temptation of the number. Ten million. I could give Leo his life back. “And what about the part of the contract that says ‘marriage of genuine affection’?” I challenged him. “How do we fake that? I remember the boy who promised me the world, Alessandro. That boy is dead. And I genuinely despise the ruthless, ice-cold man who replaced him.”

“And this has to do with me?” “I want you to marry me.” The café seemed to tilt. She laughed. Loudly. “That’s insane.” He reached into his coat and placed a folded document on the table. A check. Her laughter died. The amount made her dizzy. Half a million dollars. “I’ll cover your mother’s medical bills,” he said. “All of them. Immediately. The rest is yours.” Her hands trembled. “You don’t even know me.” “I don’t need to.” “That’s supposed to convince me?”

The clash was too shocking and surprising. He raised his voice, but still controlled. “now Listen carefully. I’m giving you a choice.” He pulled out a business card from his pocket and slid it straightly across the counter. It felt cold. Heavy. “Marry me. Sign a contract. Fourteen months. You’ll be entitled to three million dollars. No feelings. No attachment. Power and total control only.” What! I blinked at the card again and again, as though it were some dead joke which can never come Alive.

She smiles. “I can, because legally, I control everything until you are married.” she replies mildly. I stare at her in shock. “You’re lying.” She shrugs, unbothered. “You can ask the lawyer if you don’t believe me.” Chloe stands up and crosses the room in a few strides, toward the door. “Think carefully, sister,” she smiles. “Marriage to a billionaire doesn’t sound so bad.” She winks at me and leaves.

he paused, and looked into my eyes, “Because I need a wife.” The words landed hard, like a punch to my chest. “I’m sorry—what?” He didn’t flinch, “It would be a contractual marriage. Mutually beneficial with no illusions.” I stared at him as though he had just grown an extra head, because honestly, that would have made more sense. “You can’t be serious,” “I am,” he answered, “My company’s board is pushing for stability, and they believe that a wife would make the company seem more stable. I do not have time for emotional entanglements or political scandals.”

he said softly, leaning closer, "I can help you, beautiful lady." "Don't," Kyle's voice dropped dangerously low, "say that to my wife." I saw his jaw tighten, that subtle tell I'd learned to recognize over years of watching him from a distance. A bead of sweat rolled down his temple - something so uncharacteristic it made me blink. Kyle Branson didn't sweat. Kyle Branson was always perfect, always controlled. A bitter laugh threatened to escape my throat. Of course Daniel would think that. We didn't look like a couple. We looked exactly like what we were - a business arrangement gone wrong. A contract marriage where one party had foolishly fallen in love while the other pined for someone els

6 of Billionaire's Lover ~ KEALEY ~ "...Kealey?" Kaiden looked extremely shocked to see me as the bride. It was very well expected. "Kiss your bride." The officiant repeated and the booming cheering noises increased like crazy. I really couldn't believe such high-class people could be so… dumb-sounding. I expected them to be very quiet and act really classy but I was disappointed. "Time isn't waiting for anyone. Don't get everyone talking." I whispered.

No, the heartbreak of my life! "It's a contract stating that you will be officially my wife for five months. I am paying you a hundred million for the five months you will stay with me." Period! Disgustingly simple! pathetic madness! The sky must be turning red for the very first time since its creation, that is why even the aura I am breathing right now is not the usual oxygen. This one is suffocating! It's choking me! I can't breathe at all! Someone bring me back to earth, because I doubt it's where all this nonsense is happening!
