The 10 million naira proposal

Amara's world shattered inside LUTH hospital. "Your mother needs surgery in 3 days, or we will lose her," the doctor said. "N5 Million. Pay it before Thursday." N5 Million? Amara didn't even have N50,000 in her account. Her hands shook as she called her boyfriend, Tunde. "Tunde, please, my mother..." "Amara, stop," Tunde cut her off. "I can't be with a broke girl anymore. My new girlfriend's father is a Commissioner. Don't call me again." He ended the call. 3 years of love ended. Amara collapsed on the cold hospital floor and cried. Her mother was dying. Her boyfriend left her because she was poor. She walked out into the heavy Lagos rain. A black G-Wagon splashed water all over her white dress. "Are you blind?" She screamed at the car. The car stopped. A tall, dangerously handsome man stepped out. Expensive suit, cold eyes. This was Jaden Okoro, the billionaire every girl in Lagos wanted. "How much do you need?" he asked. "You look desperate. I need a wife, you need money." "My grandfather forces me to marry in 24 hours or I lose my N2 Billion inheritance. Be my contract wife for 30 days. I will give you N10 Million. No love. No touching. After 30 days, we divorce." N10 Million! Double what she needed! "Why me?" she asked. "Because you have nothing to lose. And I need someone who will not fall in love with me." Amara looked back at the hospital. "I agree. But pay my mother's bill TODAY." Jaden smiled coldly. "Deal. We marry tomorrow morning. Be at Ikoyi Registry by 8am. And Amara? Don't ever enter my private room. If you do, our contract ends." He drove away, leaving Amara in the rain with a marriage proposal that felt like a death sentence. What secret was he hiding in that room?
