Cheering Beside You

"Emma! Stop eating already, you fatty. No one is ever going to love you like that." Emma was a young culinary school graduate who had endured bullying from everyone around her because of her weight. Her own family was trying to marry her off to the handsome CEO of a prestigious, world-renowned company. Would her personality and beauty be enough to win the heart of the irresistible CEO? Or would the CEO be the one who manages to win over Emma, despite society’s prejudices? Who would fall in love first? Would either of them? And in the end, would they actually make it to the altar?

She had dreamed of a fairy tale. He turned her dream into a ruthless contract. Olivia Bittencourt worked as an administrator at her father’s engineering firm. Romantic and devoted, she had always dreamed of building a family—and she believed she had found that future beside her boyfriend. On the night she finally decided to give herself to him, she was drugged by the very man she loved—who had planned to “sell” her virginity to his boss in exchange for a promotion. But a mix-up in hotel suites changed everything: Olivia ended up in the arms of a cold CEO, addicted to women, who didn’t believe in love or forever. From that forbidden night came an unexpected pregnancy. Desperate to save her brother from loan sharks and protect her heart-fragile father, Olivia used the card left behind that night to pay the debt… and ended up in Liam Holt’s hands. He needed to marry and produce a legitimate heir to claim his grandfather’s fortune and keep control of the empire; she had no way out. Under pressure, she agreed to a one-year contract marriage—pretending to be the billionaire’s perfect wife. Between hatred, desire, and secrets, Olivia discovered it was impossible to pretend forever… and that this contract could be her prison—or the path to a great love.
