My Secret Billionaire Husband
Episode 1: The Final Notice
Chloe
Mia, I just got the letter. They're foreclosing. I have ONE WEEK. One week to find $50,000 or Mom's house... it's gone. 😭
Mia
NO! Chloe, that house is everything! Your mom's studio... all her memories... There HAS to be a solution! What about that... weird ad you showed me?
Chloe
The "Marriage Arrangement" thing? Marry a complete stranger for a year? Mia, that's insane! And probably illegal!
Mia
$500,000, Chloe! It solves everything! House saved, your art bills paid... What other option do we have? PLEASE just look into it?
Chloe
Fine. I'll find the contact email. But this feels like selling my soul. What kind of person even *offers* this?
Unknown Number: Chloe Everly? This is Mr. Blackwood's assistant. Your inquiry was received. Mr. Blackwood will see you tomorrow. 8 AM sharp. Blackwood Tower, Penthouse Suite. Do not be late. Details attached. *(Attachment: Confidentiality Agreement.pdf)*
Who is Mr. Blackwood? Why does he need a fake wife? And what's in that agreement?)
Episode 2: The Ice King's Offer
Chloe
*deep breath* Okay, I'm outside the penthouse doors. Wish me luck... or maybe call the police if I'm not out in an hour. *nervous emoji*
Mia
YOU GOT THIS! Remember: $500k! House! Freedom! Just don't punch the mysterious billionaire, okay?
(Chloe enters a stark, modern penthouse. A tall, imposing man in a perfect suit stands by the window, back turned.)
Adrian
(Without turning) Ms. Everly. Punctual. A rare quality. Sit.
Chloe
Mr. Blackwood? Thank you for seeing me. Your assistant said...
Adrian
(Turns, revealing cold, piercing blue eyes) Let's be clear. This isn't a social call. I require a wife. For precisely one year. For public appearances, corporate image, and to dissuade certain... persistent individuals.
Chloe
And you chose me? Why? I'm nobody.
Adrian
Precisely. You're unconnected, discreet, and financially desperate enough to agree. The terms: $500,000 upon signing. A legally binding contract. Separate bedrooms. Absolute discretion. We marry next week.
Chloe
Next WEEK? That's... insane! I need details! What about my life? My art?
Adrian
Your life, Ms. Everly, is now mine for the duration. Do you accept, or do I find someone else? The clock is ticking... on your mother's house. *(He slides a thick contract across the glass desk)*
Will Chloe sign her life away? What's Adrian really hiding?)
Episode 3: Signed in Blood (and Ink)
Chloe
Mia, I did it. I signed the contract. My hands are still shaking. *photo of signed contract page - names blurred*
Mia
OMG CHLOE! $500k?! HOUSE SAVED! But... are you okay? He seemed terrifying from your texts!
Chloe
Terrifying is an understatement. He's like a glacier in an Armani suit. But the money hit my account instantly. The bank called... foreclosure stopped. Mom's house is safe. *crying emoji of relief*
Mia
Okay, deep breaths! So what now? When's the... wedding? *wedding bells emoji*
Chloe
THIS SATURDAY. City Hall. Just us, his lawyer, and a witness. No family, no friends. "Low profile," he said. He's sending a car for me at 7 AM. And a... dress.
Adrian
Ms. Everly. Confirm your measurements. A stylist will deliver attire for Saturday and your relocation tomorrow. Be ready to move into the penthouse post-ceremony
Chloe
Tomorrow? Move in TOMORROW? But I need to pack! Tell the landlord...
Adrian
My assistant will handle termination of your lease and packing. Provide a list of essential personal items. Everything else will be provided. Focus on being prepared for Saturday. Do not be late.
Chloe
(To Mia) He's sending PACKERS? To my tiny, messy studio?! Mia, my life is being steamrolled by a billionaire bulldozer! What have I gotten into? *panic emoji*
How will the rushed wedding go? What will living with the Ice King be like?)
