The Substitute Wife of the Billionaire
The Substitute Wife is a captivating romance that blends intrigue, power, and love in a complex, emotional journey. Arielle is a woman who, through no fault of her own, is thrust into a dangerous and high-stakes situation when her stepmother forces her to marry Damien, the heir to one of the wealthiest families in the city. But there's more to this marriage than meets the eye. Damien, though incredibly handsome and successful, is cursed with a mysterious illness that prevents him from getting close to women without triggering painful and dangerous physical reactions. As Arielle enters the world of wealth and power, she's treated coldly by Damien, who views her as nothing more than a pawn in his family's game. But something unexpected happens when they touch-Arielle, unlike other women, doesn't trigger his illness. Despite the tension and the presence of Damien's long-time fiancée, a beautiful and calculating woman named Clara, the dynamics between Arielle and Damien begin to shift. What starts as a contract marriage to save both Arielle's life and Damien's family legacy soon evolves into something more. As secrets unravel, power struggles intensify, and hidden emotions surface, Arielle and Damien find themselves caught between family expectations, corporate warfare, and a love neither of them was prepared for.

Struggling to make ends meet, Lena faces an uphill battle when her life is shattered by the need for urgent, expensive surgery.

With every passing day, Lena and Adrian's marriage-initially a business arrangement-grows more complex, filled with passion, emotional turmoil, and the threat of painful betrayals that could destroy everything they've built.
