THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET WIFEPROLOGUEThe first time Amelia Carter saw Adrian Blackwood, she hated him.It was a strange thing to hate a man you had never met before, but Amelia had heard enough about him to know she wanted nothing to do with him.Adrian Blackwood was thirty-two years old, the youngest billionaire in the country, the owner of Blackwood International, and, according to every magazine and gossip website, one of the most ruthless businessmen in the city.He was rich.Powerful.Handsome.And completely untouchable.Women threw themselves at him, yet he had never been publicly linked to anyone for more than a few weeks.Amelia didn't care about any of that.She had her own problems.Problems that were about to change her life forever."Amelia."Her mother's trembling voice pulled her out of her thoughts.Amelia looked up from the hospital chair.Her mother sat on the bed, looking smaller and weaker than she had ever seen her.The room smelled of medicine, and the soft beeping of the machines filled the silence.Amelia forced a smile."Yes, Mom?"Her mother hesitated."Your uncle came again."Amelia's smile disappeared."What did he want?"Her mother looked away.Amelia already knew the answer.Money.Her family had been struggling for years, but things had become worse after her father's death.The small family business he had left behind was drowning in debt.Creditors called every day.Suppliers refused to deliver goods.And now, the bank had threatened to seize their family home.Amelia had spent months trying to save everything.She had sold her jewelry.She had emptied her savings.She had taken extra jobs.Nothing was enough.And now her mother's illness had made everything worse."How much?" Amelia asked quietly.Her mother didn't answer."Mom.""Twenty million."Amelia froze.Twenty million.She almost laughed.Not because it was funny.Because it was impossible."Twenty million for what?"Her mother lowered her eyes."Your uncle says the debt must be paid immediately.""That's not possible.""He says if we don't pay—""I know what he says!"Amelia stood suddenly.Her voice echoed through the room.Her mother flinched.Amelia immediately regretted it.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath."I'm sorry."She sat back down."I'm just tired."Her mother reached for her hand.Amelia held it tightly."I'll figure something out."But she didn't know how.She had been saying those words for months.I'll figure something out.Everything will be fine.Tomorrow will be better.But tomorrow had never come.Instead, the problems kept growing.Then the hospital door opened.Amelia turned.A tall man dressed in a black suit walked into the room.He looked familiar.Not personally.Amelia had seen his face before.On magazine covers.On television.Online.Her heart stopped.Adrian Blackwood.Behind him stood two men who looked like bodyguards.Amelia immediately stood."What are you doing here?"Adrian's dark eyes settled on her.He didn't answer immediately.He looked at her as if he already knew everything about her.Her name.Her family.Her problems.Her secrets.Amelia felt uncomfortable."Mr. Blackwood?"Adrian finally spoke."Amelia Carter."It wasn't a question.Amelia frowned."How do you know my name?"Adrian stepped closer."We need to talk.""About what?""Your family."Her stomach tightened."Whatever business you have with my family, you can discuss it with my uncle.""I've already spoken to him."That caught her attention."What?"Adrian's expression remained emotionless."Your uncle owes my company money."Amelia's heart sank.Of course.Another debt."How much?""Twenty million."She stared at him.The exact amount."Are you here to threaten me?""No.""Then why are you here?"Adrian looked directly into her eyes."To make you an offer."Amelia laughed bitterly."An offer?""Yes.""What kind of offer?"Adrian reached into his suit jacket and pulled out a small black envelope.He held it out to her.Amelia didn't take it."What is that?""A marriage contract."Silence.For several seconds, Amelia simply stared at him.Then she laughed.This time, Adrian's expression changed slightly."You can't be serious.""I am.""You came to a hospital to offer me a marriage contract?""Yes.""To pay my family's debt?""Yes."Amelia stared at him in disbelief."You're insane."Adrian's jaw tightened."Think carefully before you insult the man who can save your family."That silenced her.Amelia's eyes narrowed."You think you can buy me?""No.""Then what is this?""A business arrangement.""Marriage isn't a business arrangement.""For some people, it is."Amelia looked at the envelope.Then at him."Why me?"For the first time, something unreadable flashed across Adrian's face.It disappeared so quickly that Amelia wondered if she had imag
