Married To The Billionaire At First Sight
💥Full story in:https://eng.moboreader.com/1BLzLJ/861083
💍 “I married a stranger to solve my housing problem. He was cold, distant, and clearly didn‘t want me. But the moment we said ‘I do,’ every problem in my life started disappearing. My business thrived. My landlord backed off. My sister’s marriage improved. He said it was ‘just good luck.’ Then I saw a televised interview with the city’s richest billionaire—a man identical to my husband, openly devoted to his wife. And that wife… was me.”

**MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE AT FIRST SIGHT**
💍 **The heat pressed down like a bad mood that refused to leave.**
October in Toronto wasn‘t supposed to be this hot. But Chloe Bishop had bigger problems than the weather.
Her brother-in-law’s words still rang in her ears from the night before:
*“We‘re splitting everything fifty-fifty! Living expenses, mortgage, car loan—all of it! And your sister lives here, so she pays half too! Two thousand dollars a month? That’s basically freeloading!”*
Chloe had stood frozen outside the bedroom door, listening. Her sister’s marriage was already cracking. If she stayed, she would be the hammer that shattered it.
So she had to leave.
But leaving wasn‘t enough. If she moved out alone, her sister would worry. Feel guilty. Keep trying to help.
There was only one clean solution.
Marriage.
Absurd, maybe. Desperate, definitely.
She didn’t even have a boyfriend.
But she remembered Grandma Jones. And the proposal that had sounded ridiculous at the time.
*Marry my eldest grandson.*
---
👵 **Grandma Jones was waiting outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.**
Beside her stood a tall man with a cold, intimidating presence. His posture was straight, his expression sharp, his aura screaming *keep your distance.*
So this was him. David Jones.
Chloe blinked.
This was not what she had imagined.
According to Grandma Jones, her grandson was thirty, hopelessly single, and socially awkward enough to scare women away. An executive with money—but no wife.
Chloe had assumed he was ugly. Painfully ugly. Because if a rich man couldn‘t find a girlfriend, there were usually only two reasons: extreme pickiness… or an unbearable face.
She had bet on the face.
She lost.
David Jones was strikingly handsome—cold eyes, defined features, the kind of man who made people straighten their backs unconsciously. Standing there in silence, he looked untouchable.
And dangerous—for her peace of mind.
---
📋 **Inside the Civil Affairs Bureau, the air was cool and sterile.**
At the counter, David suddenly stopped.
*“Miss Bishop,”* he said, looking at her seriously, *“you can still walk away. Marriage isn’t something to joke about.”*
He hoped—irrationally—that she would say no.
He didn‘t want this. Not with a stranger. Not like this.
Chloe met his gaze without hesitation.
*“I’ve thought it through. Once I decide something, I don‘t regret it.”*
The clerk glanced between them again and again, visibly uneasy. They had registered countless couples, but this was the first time it felt like witnessing a corporate merger rather than a wedding. No smiles. No nerves. No excitement.
The stamp came down.
Thud.
Two red marriage certificates slid across the counter.
No congratulations. No photos. No holding hands.
They walked out together like colleagues leaving a meeting.
---
🏠 **David handed her a set of keys.**
*“The apartment is in Square Garden. Grandma mentioned your bookstore is near Toronto Middle School. It’s about fifteen minutes by bus.”*
He paused. *“Do you have a driver‘s license?”*
*“Yes.”*
*“Good. If you want a car, I’ll handle the down payment. You take care of the monthly installments.”*
Then, without waiting for her reply, he continued.
*“I‘m busy. I leave early, come back late, and travel often. You don’t need to take care of me. Household expenses—I‘ll transfer money to you every month on the tenth.”*
He paused, eyes sharpening.
*“One more thing. For now, this marriage stays secret.”*
Each sentence landed clean and decisive. Like clauses in a contract.
Chloe didn’t mind. This marriage was a solution—not a romance.
She accepted the keys.
---
🚪 **She went home to pack.**
Her sister, Kate, was on the balcony hanging laundry. When Chloe showed her the red marriage certificate, Kate‘s face went pale.
*“You—what? You don’t even have a boyfriend!”*
*“I’ve been seeing him for a while,”* Chloe lied smoothly. *“His name is David. He‘s busy, so you never met him. He proposed. I agreed.”*
Kate’s mind spun. Tears welled up. *“I told your brother-in-law you pay your share. You don‘t have to leave—”*
Chloe squeezed her hand. *“It’s not because of that. I‘m happy. You should be happy for me.”*
Kate broke down.
After she finally calmed down, Chloe added gently, *“His place is in Square Garden. Ten minutes by e‑bike.”*
*“What about his family?”*
Chloe paused. She didn’t actually know much.
*“He works for a major group. Owns a car and a house. His situation is stable.”*
Kate‘s expression shifted. *“The house is his pre‑marital property, right?”*
Chloe nodded.
*“Then you need your name on the deed,”* Kate said firmly. *“That’s your protection.”*
Chloe didn‘t answer. The red marriage certificate felt suddenly heavier in her bag.

🏙️ **The apartment in Square Garden was not what she expected.**
It was a penthouse. Floor‑to‑ceiling windows. A view of the city that made her breath catch.
This wasn’t an executive‘s apartment. This was a billionaire’s home.
She texted David: *“The apartment is… huge.”*
His reply came minutes later: *“I like space.”*
*“This is more than space.”*
*“Don‘t overthink it. It’s just a place to sleep.”*
She wanted to argue. But she was too tired. And honestly? Too stunned.
---
📺 **Three weeks later, she saw him on television.**
She was closing the bookstore, wiping down counters, when Sara, her business partner, pointed at the small wall-mounted screen.
*“Chloe, look! That’s the guy who owns half the city!”*
The news was airing an interview with the CEO of Jones Group. A man so wealthy and powerful that his face was rarely seen in public.
The camera panned to him.
Chloe‘s blood ran cold.
It was David.
Her husband.
The man who had handed her two hundred dollars for a taxi and told her to buy her own car in installments.
The reporter asked, *“Mr. Jones, you’ve been married for several weeks now. How is married life treating you?”*
David’s face softened—something she had never seen. *“It‘s the best decision I ever made. My wife is… everything I didn’t know I needed.”*
The reporter smiled. *“And what would you say to her right now?”*
David looked directly into the camera. His eyes seemed to pierce through the screen, straight into the small bookstore where Chloe stood frozen.
*“I know you didn‘t marry me for my money. But I’m going to spend the rest of my life making sure you never have to worry about anything ever again.”*
Sara shrieked. *“Chloe! Is that—is that your husband?!”*
Chloe couldn‘t answer.
Her phone buzzed.
**David:** *“Come home. We need to talk.”*
---
💥 **The penthouse elevator opened directly into the living room.**
David was standing by the window, his back to her, the city lights reflecting off his sharp profile.
*“You saw the interview.”*
*“Yes.”*
*“I should have told you.”*
*“Yes.”* She set down her bag. *“Why didn’t you?”*
He turned. His eyes were unreadable.
*“Because I wanted you to choose me. Not my money. Not my name. Just… me.”*
*“I didn‘t choose you at all,”* she said quietly. *“I chose a solution to a problem.”*
He walked toward her. Stopped inches away.
*“And now?”*
She looked up at him—the stranger she had married, the billionaire who had hidden in plain sight, the man who had quietly solved every problem she had without her even asking.
*“Now,”* she said, *“I don’t know what I want.”*
He reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. His fingers were warm.
*“Then let me show you.”*

👑 **The woman who married a stranger for convenience just discovered he‘s a billionaire.**
**And he’s been in love with her since before she said ‘I do.’**
*To be continued…*
