My Secret Billionaire Husband
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?)
