The Billionaire's Shadow Wife
“To the world, Nayla was the picture of perfection. But behind her elegant smile lay a wound that cut deeper than anyone could imagine. Her world shattered in a single night when she discovered her husband's betrayal with the one woman she trusted most-her own best friend. Instead of drowning in tears, Nayla chose a different path: she walked away without looking back. She wasn't running; she was reclaiming the dignity that had been trampled upon. Destiny led her to Arzlan Dirgantara, a young, handsome, and cold-hearted CEO who lived his life without a single flaw in the public eye. Unbeknownst to her, Arzlan had been captivated by Nayla since the moment their paths first crossed-and he was a man who never played games. Arzlan offered Nayla something extraordinary: A love contract with a shocking condition. At first, it was nothing more than a cold business arrangement. But as time passed, the walls they built around their hearts began to crumble. The clinical agreement slowly transformed into a flame that turned their lives upside down. Caught between the scars of her past and a blossoming new love, Nayla must make a choice: Will she return to the past that destroyed her, or embrace a future with a man willing to kneel for her happiness?”
