Worth More Than Paper

"Sign here, Miss Chen. One year. Five million dollars. Then we never have to see each other again." Twenty-four hours ago, Mia Chen was pouring coffee and dreaming of culinary school. Her biggest problem was making rent. Then Adrian Westwood walked into Rosie's Diner and shattered her simple life with four words: "You're marrying me. Tomorrow." The deal sounds insane. Marry a billionaire who looks at her like she's dirt on his expensive shoes. Play the perfect wife for one year. Walk away with five million dollars and unlimited spending money. All because his dying father refuses to hand over the family empire unless Adrian marries the "good, honest girl" Henry met at the diner. Adrian thinks she's a manipulative gold digger who seduced his sick father. Mia thinks he's an arrogant jerk born with a platinum spoon in his mouth. But five million dollars can change your life. It can open doors. It can make dreams come true. What Mia doesn't expect is the nightmare behind those mansion gates. The ex-girlfriend who wants her destroyed. The mother-in-law who treats her like trash. The business rivals who see her as Adrian's weakness. The paparazzi who tear apart everything she wears, says, or does. What Adrian doesn't expect is a wife who refuses to break. Who stands up to his mother. Who calls him out on his garbage behavior. Who makes him feel things he swore he'd never feel again after his heart was ripped apart. As scandals explode and enemies close in, their fake marriage becomes the only real thing in a world built on lies. But when the truth comes out about why Henry really chose Mia, will their contract marriage survive? Or will the past destroy their chance at a future? One year. Five million reasons to hate each other. And one impossible truth: sometimes your enemy is the only person who truly sees you.

The sinful acts of humanity bring forth a great calamity upon themselves, or so they thought. Supernatural Emergence happened. Supernatural creatures start to come out of nowhere and forcefully claim half of the Earth and massacre any humans that cross their paths. All of them are too powerful, dozens of countries fall under their diabolic claws. Humanity was pushed against the corner. But things started to turn around when humanity began to awaken magical powers. Awakened is the name for those who awaken these powers blessed by the Gods, and they become the pillars of humanity. Rex Silverstar is a normal boy who has a traumatic experience. On the day of the Supernatural Emergence, a Werewolf takes everything he has. He lost his family and his home, left alone in this cruel world. What drives him to live every day is his deep hatred towards the Supernaturals. Joining the military in the hope of helping exterminate the Supernaturals from an early age, he found out that it's impossible to kill the Werewolf that was responsible for killing his parents without being an Awakened. On a fateful night, in a near-death experience, he's given a chance by the full moon. It was the turning point of his life. Obtaining a System that allows him to become stronger, having the potential to match and surpass the Supernaturals, Rex was ecstatic until he saw his stats window. "I'M NOT A WEREWOLF!!" "Daily quest failed, sanity stat has been decreased by 20%!" "Sanity stat is too low, you are unable to contain the blood moon blessing!" "Starting forceful transformation!" "WHAT?! I'm a human! What transformation?!" "You are overwhelmed with bloodlust!" ----- Join my discord: https://discord.gg/cg6a5sBkpJ Support me here: https://ko-fi.com/mrboogey13 ----- I do not own the cover of the book, if you made it and want to take it down just say so and I will immediately change it.
