THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET CONTRACT BRIDE

Elena Jones stared at the hospital bill. $50,000. Due in seven days. Her hands shook. Her mother was sleeping in the bed in front of her, thin and pale. The machine beeped slowly. "Elena..." her mother whispered. "Don't worry about me." Elena forced a smile, holding her mother's hand. "I got it, Mama. I will get the money. I promise you will be okay." Outside the hospital, the rain was falling. Her phone rang. It was her boss. "Elena, you are fired. You missed work again for your mother. Don't come back." The call ended. She sat on the cold hospital floor and cried. She had no job, no money, and seven days to save her mother. Just then, a black car stopped in front of her. A tall man in a black suit came out with an umbrella. "Are you Elena Jones?" he asked. "Yes..." "Mr. Adrian Knight wants to see you. Now. It's about a business proposal that will solve your $50,000 problem." Elena looked up. Adrian Knight. The billionaire everyone in Monrovia talked about. The coldest CEO in the country. The man who never smiles. "What does a billionaire want with me?" she asked, confused. The man opened the car door. "He needs a wife. For 90 days. Get in. This is your only chance to save your mother." Elena stared at the car. Her heart was beating fast. A wife for 90 days? What kind of offer was this? But she thought of her mother's hospital bill. She had no choice. She entered the black car.
