No Turning Back: Ending the Contract Marriage with the CEO

Helena Lane’s life took a turn when a secret marriage bound her to Kenneth Keller, a powerful but reckless man who saw her as a tool to manage his family’s power struggles and salvage his tarnished reputation. On the day she launched her law firm, Kenneth’s latest lover crashed the event, pregnant and furious, accusing Helena of being a homewrecker in front of a live audience. Helena calmly produced their marriage certificate, clearing her name and restoring her clients' faith in her. After the ceremony, Helena filed for divorce, but not to claim wealth for herself. Instead, she sought to retrieve the assets Kenneth had squandered on his mistress, using them to fund education for underprivileged girls. Critics mocked her, thinking she’d never stand a chance against Kenneth’s formidable legal team. Yet, she won the case, and her fame skyrocketed. Kenneth, desperate to keep her, gathered his ex-lovers to clear up the rumors and repeatedly pleaded, “Those rumors were meant to make you jealous. You’re the only one I’ve ever loved.” Later, at an elite legal summit, a reporter dared to ask, “Ms. Lane, with such a successful career, would you consider marrying again?” Helena simply smiled and responded, “Why do you never ask men that question?” The room fell silent, captivated by her sharp wit. She continued, “Marriage is like a trap for women. I have freedom, wealth, family, and friends—I won’t lose myself to step into that cage again.” Her words resonated, and Helena was hailed as a symbol of empowerment. Yet, the city’s wealthiest bachelors, including some of the country’s most eligible heirs, were left heartbroken, realizing Helena might never be theirs.
