Andrew Jonas is the sole heir to one of the most successful shopping mall networks in Kingstone, Jonas Shopping Center. A workaholic, as cold as the walls of Berlin, and considers love to be just a normal chemical reaction, much like anger and hunger. Who would have thought that an Annual General Meeting of Shareholders would then turn his world upside down? Andrew must prove that he is competent to lead the company while also maintaining his lineage. Marriage has never been a priority in Andrew's life, and the rejection from his model girlfriend to get married leaves him in despair. Emma, one of the employees at cinema, finally agrees to marry Andrew with various conditions, while Andrew has only one condition. Never fall in love with him. Isn't this a profitable business deal?

A Bride for The Billionaire Chapter 1 The Annual General Meeting

The General Meeting of Shareholders of Jonas Enterprise has not reached a consensus. Shareholders objected to Mrs. Sonya Jonas relinquishing the CEO position and appointing Andrew Jonas to replace her.

"How will the fate of this family company be in the hands of someone who has no heir?" Arthur Jonas reiterated the argument.

Mrs. Sonya looked at him with anger. If it weren't for the fact that he was her late husband's brother, she might have ordered security to kick him out of the meeting room long ago.

"What do you mean by no successor?" Mrs. Sonya asked sarcastically. Adam Jonas, her late husband, was the one who founded this company. Therefore, it's only natural to appoint Andrew Jonas to the highest leadership position in the company. Andrew is the only grandson she has, the sole heir to the business empire established by Adam.

"Mrs. Sonya, please don't misunderstand. We are all family here. We don't want this family's company to fall into the hands of outsiders, right?" Arthur said.

Mrs. Sonya is about to turn seventy soon. She feels it's only right to step down from the leadership position in the company and ask Andrew to take over so that she can enjoy her old age more leisurely. At times like this, she laments the tragic death of her only son, Harris, in a car accident. The family has been blessed with abundant wealth but not with many descendants.

"Don't worry. This company will not fall into the hands of outsiders," Mrs. Sonya replied in a low and profound tone.

"The continuity of this company must be preserved," Arthur spoke up again. He is the youngest brother of the late Adam and the most ambitious one to take over the company. "We all regret Harris's death, but in times like this, you still have to fulfill the CEO's duties. If you decide to pass this responsibility to Andrew, what guarantee do we have that the company will still be under control twenty years from now? Or should we change the company's rule stating that the highest leadership position must come from Adam's lineage? Andrew seems uninterested in getting married and having children. After all, what's the difference between Adam's lineage and mine? We are all Jonas."

Participants in the meeting whispered to each other after hearing Arthur's opinion. It has been an initial agreement since the company's establishment that the majority shareholder and the highest leadership position must be from Adam Jonas's lineage. However, since Harris Jonas's death ten years ago, Mrs. Sonya had to take over the CEO position while preparing Andrew to replace her.

"Mrs. Sonya, I think what Arthur said is not wrong," this time Alpha, Adam's second brother, spoke up. "Shouldn't we just abolish that silly rule so that even if Andrew is uninterested in getting married and having descendants, we can prepare our other children?"

"What do you mean uninterested in having descendants?" Mrs. Sonya retorted loudly, startling everyone in the meeting room.

This company was built from scratch by Adam Jonas without anyone's help. Mrs. Sonya still vividly remembers the ridicule from her husband's brothers, who thought she was crazy for dreaming of establishing a shopping center in the middle of a plantation. When one supermarket stood and attracted crowds of visitors, one by one, her husband's brothers came closer and asked to join. When the number of shopping centers established by Adam Jonas exceeded the number of fingers on his hand, he decided to distribute some of the shares to his brothers.

"I've already decided that Andrew will succeed me," Mrs. Sonya said firmly. "And my decision is final."

"But..." Arthur tried to interrupt.

"You don't need to worry," Mrs. Sonya added before Arthur could finish his sentence. "Andrew will be getting married soon. He will get married before my birthday."

Arthur looked surprised at Mrs. Sonya's statement. How is it possible that Andrew will get married? Has he already proposed to Rose William? That woman should not marry and give children for Andrew.

Mrs. Sonya stood up from her chair. "I believe today's meeting is over." She left the room, leaving behind the buzzing whispers of the meeting participants.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."
