The Billionaire's Contract Bride

I signed a contract to be his wife. He vanished on our first anniversary. Three years later he walked back in with a check and a second proposal.

Three years ago I signed a contract to be his wife for one year. He never touched me. He never even looked at me. Then he disappeared on our first anniversary and never came back. I raised our daughter alone. Now his company is on the verge of collapse, his rival is hunting him, and he walks back into our lives with a five-million-dollar check and a proposal: marry me again, this time for real. I should slam the door in his face. But our daughter just called him 'daddy' and he's looking at her like she's the only thing in the world that matters.
