Contracted to the billionaire boss

“Aria Bennett signs a fake relationship contract with her billionaire boss, Adrian Blackwood, to survive pressure at work and cover his public image during a critical merger. The rules stay simple, no emotions, no real attachment, no crossing lines, but nothing stays simple once Adrian starts protecting her in public and watching her in private. His ex-fiancée returns with a mission to destroy Aria's place beside him, while the board of directors watches every move for weakness. Aria tries to stay invisible inside a world built on power and control, but Adrian keeps pulling her closer until the contract stops feeling like business. Then Aria learns the deal was never only about appearances, and her presence in Adrian's life connects to a hidden truth tied to the merger itself. By the time the contract starts breaking, walking away stops feeling like a choice.”
