Beyond The Six Months Contract

In the city of glass and gold, a lie is the only thing that can buy the truth. Nadia is a ghost in her own life. A waitress in the working-class streets of Plainpalais, she is drowning in debt and haunted by the fading heartbeat of her younger sister, Layla. She has no power, no pedigree, and no way out—until she meets the Lion of Geneva. Zain Al-Fassi is a man built of ice and iron. A billionaire CEO whose empire is under siege by a ruthless Board of Directors, he needs a shield to protect his legacy. He doesn't want a soulmate; he wants a transaction. He offers Nadia a deal that sounds like a miracle: play the role of his devoted fiancée for six months, and he will provide the life-saving surgery her sister desperately needs. The rules were ironclad: No feelings. No scandals. No looking back. But as Nadia is thrust into a world of private jets, ancient chateaus, and the suffocating opulence of the Al-Fassi dynasty, the lines between the performance and reality begin to blur. Behind the "Gilded Cage" of the Onyx Estate, she discovers a man who has acquisitioned every luxury but forgotten how to live. To the world, she is the "Plainpalais Parasite," but to Zain, she is becoming the only variable he can't account for in his ledgers. As the ice around Zain's heart begins to crack, the stakes turn lethal. When a secret pregnancy emerges—a "fragile glass orb" heavier than the Al-Fassi billions—the Board triggers a nuclear morality clause to destroy them both. Adding to the chaos, Amina, a vengeful strategist from Zain's past, returns to reclaim the throne she believes belongs to her. Now, surrounded by enemies in a corporate tower of steel and secrets, Nadia and Zain face a devastating choice. With the six-month deadline looming, will they secure the billion-dollar legacy? Or will they burn the kingdom down to save the only heartbeat that money couldn't buy? The clock is ticking. The contract is burning. And the "Waitress Queen" is finally ready to claim her crown. Beyond the Six-Month Lie is a high-stakes, emotional billionaire romance featuring the fake engagement and secret baby tropes. Perfect for fans of corporate intrigue, rags-to-riches transformations, and protective, "grumpy" heroes.
