The Contract Bride of the Chief Lawyer

On the night her boyfriend got engaged to another woman,Sophia drowned her sorrows in a haze of alcohol and made a daring choice-spending the night with Nathaniel, the brother of her boyfriend's fiancée.

Sophia sought a man with power and influence to shield her from the sting of betrayal. Nathaniel, in turn, was drawn to her youthful beauty and captivating confidence.

For a time, it felt like more than just an arrangement. Sophia believed Nathaniel might truly care for her. But her hopes were dashed when he revealed his plans for a strategic marriage, leaving her only a check and a cold farewell.

He expected tears, accusations, maybe even a scene. But Sophia merely smiled, pocketed the check, and walked out with her dignity intact. Her parting words were simple and cutting:
"Goodbye, Nathaniel. I doubt we'll ever meet again."

Fate, however, had other plans.

When their paths crossed once more, Sophia was no longer the heartbroken woman he'd left behind. Stronger and more radiant than ever, she had someone new by her side. Nathaniel's jealousy was undeniable, his voice raw with regret.
"Sophia," he said, his tone heavy with emotion, "it was me you loved first."

She met his gaze with calm amusement, her smile laced with irony.
"Nathaniel, you're the one who walked away. If you want a date now, you'll have to get in line."

The very next day, Nathaniel appeared with a dazzling diamond ring and a fortune worth billions, dropping to one knee in front of her.
"Sophia, I'm done waiting. Marry me."
