“But there is a condition attached,” he interrupts me, his face devoid of emotion.
A condition? What condition? I wonder, a frown touching my lips.
My heart begins to race again, pounding wildly in my chest as if it will soon burst out.
«I want you to become my contracted wife," he blurts out, his expression unchanging.
It takes a moment for his statement to sink in.
Once I fully absorb what he’s said, I exclaim loudly in disbelief, my mouth agape. “What?!”
“Yes,” he nods slowly. «But it will be for just a year.»
Isabella urgently needs a large sum of money for her grandmother's surgery. With nowhere else to turn, she seeks help from her billionaire boss, Jayden.
Jayden doesn’t believe in marriage or happily-ever-afters, but he needs a wife to stop his mother’s pestering. His plan is to divorce after a year, proving marriage isn’t for him.
Isabella comes to him at just the right time. A contract is signed—no strings attached. After a year, they will go their separate ways.
But what will happen after a night of drunken passion?
Will Isabella endure his cruelty for a year, or leave before the marriage ends?
And will Jayden choose to find her, or let her go with his child growing inside her?
