Hired Groom: My Husband Is The Billionaire
“Demi Rodgers spent twenty years as the obedient adopted daughter of the wealthy Holman family, blindly looking forward to marrying her fiancé of five years. But on her wedding day, she caught her fiancé sleeping with her adoptive sister. Before she could process the betrayal, her adoptive parents forced her to take her sister's place and marry Bentley Collier, a billionaire rumored to be a violent, disfigured monster. "You ate my food and wore my clothes for twenty years. This is called paying off your debt." Threatened with losing her university degree, Demi signed the substitute marriage agreement. Unwilling to let them win, she grabbed a strikingly handsome stranger in the corridor and paid him to be her fake groom. She dragged him down the aisle, successfully humiliating her adoptive family in front of the city's elite. But her brief triumph shattered when the officiant verified the stranger's identity. He wasn't some random gigolo; he was the terrifying CEO himself, Bentley Collier. He had known her background all along, playing along with her desperate rebellion just to lock her in his cage. Why did the most powerful man in the city want to trap a fake, adopted daughter? When Demi tried to escape, Bentley didn't even send guards to chase her. He simply used his massive empire to freeze her bank accounts, blacklist her ID from every hotel, and shut her out of her university. Soaked in the freezing rain with nowhere left to go, she dragged her bleeding feet back to his iron gates, realizing her real nightmare had just begun.”
