The Price of His Contract

About this story

Synopsis

Eleanor Baldwin sold her body and her future to the most ruthless billionaire in New York, Sebastian Vanderbilt. She didn't do it for love, but to destroy the Sterling family, who had driven her father to his death. She signed a brutal non-disclosure agreement, becoming Sebastian's around-the-clock personal assistant and his exclusive, tightly controlled property. Her new life was a nightmare of humiliation. She endured scalding coffee thrown by his jealous relatives, worked herself into physical collapse, and suffered severe panic attacks in the dark. Yet, Sebastian only treated her like a possession. When her ex-boyfriend Craig Sterling-the very man who ruined her family-cornered her on the street begging her to use Sebastian's wealth to save his bankrupt company, Sebastian misunderstood everything. Assuming she was just a gold digger, he threw a seven-figure check at her face. "Is this enough to buy off your past?" he sneered. Eleanor was suffocating. She had sacrificed her dignity and endured his cold possessiveness just to avenge her parents. But to him, her deep trauma and desperate struggle were nothing more than a cheap transaction. She didn't want his charity; she wanted justice. Dropping Craig's antique ring down a city sewer grate, Eleanor turned her back on her abusers forever. But as she tried to walk away, Sebastian forced an unlimited black card into her trembling hand, permanently sealing the doors to her gilded cage.
