Here is the worst part of selling yourself to a billionaire. It is not the contract. It is how well he reads the fine print. Mason Blackwell paid my daughter's hospital bills in one phone call. He wanted a wife, not a heart. I wanted my children safe, not a husband. We shook hands like two people closing a deal. Then I found a marriage certificate with my name on it, signed six years before I ever met him. Now his cousin smiles at me like a shark, his grandfather is afraid of my face, and the man who vanished from my life is standing in a photograph beside a woman who disappeared too. Mason swears he did not know. His eyes say he knew something. I came for a contract. I stayed for the truth. But when the man who never lies starts hiding things from me, and starts looking at me like he is the one in danger, I have to ask myself the question I am most afraid of. If this marriage was never real, why does it hurt so much to think it might end?
