The CEO's Ten Million Dollar Wife
Either way, Ellen Johnson had become a myth wrapped in elegance and heartbreak.
And now, somehow, she was being offered a contract to stand in the space that myth had left behind.
Her grip tightened slightly on the papers.
Ten million. The number echoed in her mind, louder than anything else.
Ten million dollars—enough to erase the debt that had shadowed her for years, enough to breathe without calculation, without fear. It wasn’t just money. It was escape.
She exhaled slowly, eyes still lowered.
She understood the terms now, every cold, clinical detail hidden beneath polite phrasing. She would act as his wife in public. Fulfill all marital obligations expected of a husband and wife.
