The Billionaire

Adrian Cross is a ruthless billionaire who’s used to getting what he wants. But when he learns he’s infertile, his carefully constructed empire threatens to crumble—his board of directors demand an heir to solidify his legacy. Desperate, Adrian concocts a shocking solution: he’ll hire a surrogate to carry his child and ensure his dynasty remains intact. Grace Harper is a shy, hardworking cleaner, barely scraping by to pay for her ailing mother’s medical bills. When Adrian notices her quiet resilience and offers her a life-changing sum to be his surrogate, she’s torn. The money could save her mother, but the price is steep: giving up her independence and stepping into a world she doesn’t belong to. As Grace reluctantly agrees and moves into Adrian’s lavish penthouse, the unexpected happens. Their growing proximity ignites an undeniable spark, and Adrian, captivated by her strength and kindness, proposes an unexpected solution to protect their “family” from his board’s scrutiny—an arranged marriage. What begins as a convenient arrangement slowly deepens into something neither of them can deny. But their fragile happiness is shattered when Adrian’s stunning, manipulative ex-fiancée, Vanessa, returns, determined to win him back. Vanessa’s lies and schemes drive Grace to question everything, and she walks away, convinced she’s nothing more than a pawn in Adrian’s life. When Grace vanishes, Adrian is forced to confront his deepest fears: he doesn’t just want an heir—he wants *her*. Risking everything, Adrian must prove that their connection is more than a contract and that his love for her is real. Will Grace trust Adrian enough to let him back into her heart, or will his past destroy the future they could have had?
